i think general breedlove enjoys the support of e allies.here has been a comment he is a step ahead of some of the capitals and his public comments about theresence of russian forces in eastern ukraine. as he has pointed out he is drawing g on combined nato intelligence including from germany, the u.k., france, the u.s., and many other countries. he may see that information faster and it might catch people by surprise once in a while. he has total support and the speaking for all t the allies. vago: even the nations that helped negotiate the minsk accords have an uneasy feeling the cease-fire is not going to last and russia going to get back to its old tricks. it has the playbook. putin is driving this train. it is trying to take ukraine one bite at a time. even though there is a pause, eryone expects them to start ain to take mary apple -- mariopol. what can nato members do to stop further russian aggression in ukraine? guest: first of all, we hope the mik agreements will be upheld, and that they will lead to the ultimate g goal of restorin

all 28 nato allies have provided some form of security assistance to ukraine. that is one of the commitments we made to each other at wales. it can take the form of training. it can take the form of medical needs. the u.k. in poland just announced they will start training ukrainians along the lines of notifications that we have sent up to you all. where the divide happens and where the debate happens, and there are folks on both sides of the debate, is the question of the lee -- the question of the leaf ballot he of the weapons. -- lethality of the weapons. the president has discussed this with his partners, most notably with chancellor merkel. that conversation continues. >> let me ask a little bit different. what my concern is even before we can deal with what is taking place militarily, a few folks i spoke with, they are really concerned about the dire straits of the economics of the economy of ukraine. in fact, some of them have said this could cause the ukrainian government to fall before we get further down the road. and that to even the money that we giv

or our allies remains absolutely the worst case scenario. therefore, deterring strategic attack, including nuclear attack must remain the number one priority for the department of defense. 21st century deterrence concepts still sound familiar. deny benefits and impose costs and a range of options for the president to use as needed in a conflict. the commitment to insure our allies and partners by extending our umbrella to them. how they apply those concerts in the 21st century is very different. 21st century deterrence must be tailored to a wide variety of actors and scenarios. one size can no longer fit all. 21st century determines demands the flexible application of the full range of complementary military capability. strong conventional forces, missile defenses, brazilian space and cyberspace capabilities, effective command and control and the ultimate possibility of a u.s. nuclear response in extreme circumstances for vital national interests. we no longer have to threaten nuclear used to compensate for conventional inferiority, but no c

(?) good to have you all with us. let me -- let me begin with you. what are we to take of this obvious contradiction in the obama foreign policy? supporting the saudi and allied state in their offensive against the houthis, the iranian supported shia rebels and at the same time supporting iran and the iranian-led leaders of that offensive against tikrit. rick. >> oh, you're talking to me. i thought you were talking to judy there. >> judy what do you think? >> look i think this is a very big problem, lou. what we have is a -- not a national security strategy coming out of the white house. this is a campaign promise that was

in adan there is at least two or three army units who are allies to the former president, who is allies to the houthi rebels. and they're trying to isolate him there, while he's trying to consolidate his power. >> now, a number of people known to have died in the cyclone which ripped through vanuatu last weekend is not going to rise significantly. that's according to the nation's prime minister. the u.n. put the number of known dead as 11. that is relatively low, considering the strength of this storm. it was a category 5 storm and there had been fears that the number killed would rise significantly once the extent of the damage to the archipelago's outlying islands became clear. they are islands that are very difficult to reach. but that probably wouldn't rise by much. he blamed climate change for the worsening storms and urged the world to take action. >> we are getting more and more severe storms. the caribbean and indian ocean as well. maybe this has something to the climate matter and we hope that the world would come together and make a decision on some -- for what the concerns. w

and if iraq is our ally, iraq considers iran an ally, do they not? >> who is our enemy? isil is our enemy, i ran isran is our enemy. >> straightforward, iran is our enemy? >> yes iran is our enemy. they're a cold blooded cruel regime that killed american soldiers in iraq and afghanistan. they're the leading state sponsor of terrorism. they have destabilized the region. they're building icdms. they tried to create a nuclear program, not a peaceful nuclear power plant. they're the enemy of us. they're an evil regime. the president and the foreign minister are moderates, masquerading as trying to be moderates when they're not. this is not a moderate regime. if they get more money, chuck, from sanction relief what would they do with it? build schools and hospitals? no they with advance their religious cause. they're the root cause of this problem in the middle east as much as isil. i fear them more than i fear isil. i fear iran -- >> you fear iran more than isis? >> absolutely. iran with a nuclear weapon iseye nightmare for us. the iranians are a regime that cannot be truste

the external pressure from allies. binyamin netanyahu in israel escalated his rhetoric against the deal. the saudis seem nontoo happy either. >> i would say two things what is remarkable for me and notable for people to keep in mind is this is six partners on one side of the table, and iran on the other. they include china, russia, and the fact this we stayed together this long and been on the same page is remarkable. it speaks volumes to the cohesion of the coalition. and israel, close ally of the united states one that we would stand by and saudi arabia as well, an ally in the region i would say that prime minister binyamin netanyahu actually marginalized himself. the visit to congress the letter from the republican senators. that really showed i think true colours of the opposition. the opposition is not in the interests of a better deal. they are maxim us looking to undermine any deal. >> talking in those terms, working to prevent the spread of mass destruction. as the deal is configured does it do enough to preven

we met last week with supreme allied comnder -- the supreme allied commander.sked him if russia was involved in ukraine, which russia denies. >> w we can see the group. the cease-fire wl be effective. this is our best hope to stop the killing of innocent civilians in ukraine. how nato gets intelligence -- this is the psalalm of the -- sum of the intelligence, plus other capabilities. at the e of the day, there are 28 nations assisting. that is why the secretary general of nato can express himself in the name of the nation' -- natio. iill follow hiown declaratation. we kno involvement must stop. we he seen whahas happeneded in crimea. we have seen what has happened in eastern ukraine. many in nato ourur pushing for ththis --are pushihing for the ase-fire. far as nato is concerned, i would just remind that ukraine is not a member of nato. weust make sure that na is ready, in any se. nato is a defensive alliance, an alliance of peace and security and we must show we are ready to defefend peace and security for the 28 nato members. vago: have you seen anymore about

what assures an ally may or may not did and adversary.t deters and adversary, may or may not deter an ally. we have to mindful of both of those needs. when we are structuring our force when we are dealing with all kinds of factors like going to our cap relations. this second thing i would say is that there is no question in my mind that this notion of what some have called tailored deterrence, where you looking specifically adversary light adversary, or actor by actor you pick your way to describe who you're trying to deter. to really have some kind of confidence about how to go about it requires a deep understanding of who they are how they think, what they do how they decide, who decides although the things that go with it. we did not know it right away in the cold war about the soviet union, that took a long time. i think this is an equal challenge for the intelligence community today. they have some tremendous tools as you know, to try to understand these things. by the way, i think one of the adjusting things today is that everything

and assurance it is about an ally.so we use those in the same sentence, but they are not the same thing. what assures an ally are not the same thing. we have to be mindful to both of those needs when we are structuring our fours when we are dealing with all kinds of factors that go into our calculation. the second thing that i would say if there is no question in my mind that this notion of what some have called tailored turns where you are looking specifically at adversary by a adversary or actor by acts or and which you are going to reach deter and have some confidence that you understand how to go about it requires a very very deep understanding of who they are, how they think, what they do, how they decide, who decide all of the things that go with that. we didn't know that right away in the cold war about the soviet union. that took a long time. the cynic will challenge for the intelligence community today. although they have some tremendous tools as you know to try to nurse and these things. by the way one of the

i think there was a secret plan between them and the group's main ally the president saleh. initially they portrayed the whole thing as a revolution for the people. as anti-government protests, protests against the economic conditions, but i think they had in mind what to do next. when they launched the -- they started going down from sadder, i think that was around in august they went downwards so when they came to sanaa they stage ahead few days of frosts and clashes and overran the entire capital. they control the key government buildings, they took military bases and they went onto take other provinces. in total they controlled at least nine provinces they did meet resistence in tweet south of sanaa because they didn't have the traditional is support. they those areas were not in those areas so therefore they didn't have that support. >> so they had that support so they have been successful. how much has the failure of president hadi's leadership fed to their success? >> to acquire a large extend -- to quite a large extent, because president hadi's critics say he's a ver

and his nephew who is really running the show, american ally, supported, close ally of the cia and the obama administration, so they have -- they are taking this huge risk in fighting and bombing yemen because they don't think yemen can fight back. i think they are -- they are mistake en. a rich country invading a poor country. will always end up losing because the poorer fighter is stronger much more dedicated than a rich fighter especially if that poor fighter that yemeni is living in a mountainous region like i said before if gaza, which is a flat small strip was not -- israel was not able to take it, i don't think the saudis will be able to really achieve much in rugged mountainous yemen. >> all right let's take a look at this coalition as you say you don't think the saudis and the coalition will have much success in yemen. let's take a look at this coalition now. we have the saudis, we have the uae, the qataris bahrain jordan ma rack morocco pakistan have also pledged their support as well in this air strike. how strong is this coalition. >> i think it's a natural coalition becaus

is going to be a stead fast ally. in terms of benjamin netanyahu and israel they are working behind the scenes with the saudis who have been doing some things from time to time that we don't like. but, again, is it more help 51% versus 49 in that part of the world that's the kind of question you have to ask. >> emac, the turks seem to be less close than the kurds do. the turks a lot of evidence that turks had too cozy relationship various times with isis. >> it reminds of me of that quote from kissinger about the president he has all these chess moves out but doesn't know how to finish the game. here is the thing, we have to be specific on that qatar is doing. this is a safe haven for striss, it's not just isis it's hamas, it's the taliban, it's all sorts of terrorist groups throughout the region. it is straddling the fence, playing both sides of the aisle. i can peck wuk put esh pressure on it, i think mike is right. what is effective and what do we get in the united states. >> carrie you cannot straddle the fence wh
