it is also belarus and kazakhstan. it is not only how things are being depicted by ukraine. you can see depictions of many other places when georgia was invaded. the same depiction happening on russian television. i think you are presenting something and looking at your face and you are saying that russia had cause for this. russia only had calls if you still believe everywhere is passive russia, perhaps we can take this outside so you can clarify. it was weird from the point of information, russia has been gunning for the return of ukraine basically since the 1990s when ukraine got away. >> ma'am? >> thank you so much. this is a question for fiona again. what would be your advice to u.k. prime minister when he's approaching those conversations concerning ukraine later this week? >> well, i think there is a prime minister has probably figured out clearly that this is an enormous consequential meeting. it is not just because of ukraine but the whole future of european security for the united kingdom itself. the u.k. and the united states are extraordinary defense relationship

he said in munich, ukraine has intel the russians are sending troops to belarus to use it as a launchad military into perhaps not just ukraine but other european countries. are you concerned about that? >> well, i am very concerned about what putin will do next. if he comes out of this and thinks he got a good deal and this was worth his time and effort and loss of life -- he doesn't care about russian soldiers. he obviously doesn't care about the ukrainians. that would be very concerning for me. i was in the baltic nations earlier this year. they are very concerned. that would be a staging ground for them to attack the baltics. >> understood. that's why we are watching it so carefully, senator kelly. i appreciate your insight. we will turn now to michigan congressman john james. good morning to you, congressman. >> good morning, margaret. >> i want to ask you about what's happening in your state with the economy and tariffs. staying on the theme for a moment, i know you have a lot of ukrainian americans in your district. you voted in support of last year's ukraine supplemental. are y

votes with north korea, russia, sudan and belarus and they offered a resolution calling for end of fighting a signing can yo can ysign culpability to who started the war. are they trying to end a war that started on biden's watch. >> he's a very smart guy, he's a very cunning person, but i dealt with some people that i've dealt with some really bad people. he had no intention in my opinion of settling this war. evidence of infection think he wanted the whole thing. when i got elected, we spoke and i think we're going to have a deal. trey: coming down is the union and russia is a shell of what it used to be and will it stay that way? going for them to start with the basics and starting with north korea and against nato ally on one hand and u.s. and ukraine trying to negotiate a deal and may provide ukraine the protection it needs. >> well, this is how donald trump does business, trey. and great to be here by the way. one thing i think it's a disgrace that this was how we voted in the un. and t not a shining moment in north korean history and going to do that as well and it wasn't really thei

. >> george: you voted with north korea and russia -- you voted with north korea and russia and belaruso. back to the point. but it also didn't praise the russians. all it said is, this is a bad war. it needs to end, and by the way, at the security council, which has not been widely reported, the first resolution on ukraine that has passed the security council in three years, passed this week because of the leadership of president trump and it's a resolution that says, bad war, needs to end, let's bring the two sides together. that's what the resolution is. again, what is the united nations for? isn't it not a forum to promote peace in the world? and shouldn't our president -- shouldn't we all be happy that we have a president who's trying to stop wars and prevent them instead of start them? and i just don't get it. i really don't, other than the fact it's donald j. trump. if this was a democrat that was goi doing this, people would be saying he's on his way to the nobel peace prize. this is about surtd surd. you cannot end the war unless both sides come to the table starting with the r

has there ever been such a vote where the united states votes alongside russia, north korea, belarus and other west african hunters, including also, by the way, israel was always also part of it against a un general assembly resolution condemning the aggression. >> we are in a new era. how long the era lasts, i think is up for grabs. you know, fundamentally, donald trump won the election with 30% of the vote, of the total vote he got about, i think, 49% of the electorate. that turned out, you know, donald trump, like all of us are here today, gone tomorrow. politicians, right. you know, whoever occupies the white house doesn't indefinitely represent the united states. we all come and go. same for number ten, same for the elysee palace. >> and you're a former military person yourself. and we will hope to have you back as this progresses. ben wallace, thank you so much. indeed. former uk defense secretary. up next, as gaza's future hangs in the balance, the painful price of this war for israelis as shiri kefir and ariel bibas finally returned home to be buried. >> learn how to experime

just last week, he voted the united nations with russia and belarus and north korea against ukraine, france, germany, britain and so forth. so it's a new world, and europe has to figure out its own way to navigate it. >> and evelyn, in that new world order, where the influences are coming more out of washington, and, for example, the fact that the meeting was decided to be carried out in riyadh, you know, the first one between the united states and russia and later in turkey. evelyn, how do you see this? and is this new world order one that could include europe playing a more significant role? >> so. >> jose, first of all, the short answer to your question is yes. i want to add to what peter said about the dynamic of vladimir putin. you can flatter him. you can talk nicely to him. at the end of the day, he's only going to make a deal if he thinks that there's too much pressure being put on him so that it's in his interest to compromise. that's the only way this is going to work. so it's not about how you talk to vladimir putin. it's about actually what pressure are you willing to exe

. >> george: you voted with north korea and russia -- you voted with north korea and russia and belarus in the united nations and against our western allies. >> so you know what -- do you know what the united nations resolution was? i'll tell you if you want to hear what it was. it basically said, this has been a horrible war. it's time for it to end. the job of the u.n. is to bring about peace in the world. i thought that's what the u.n. was created to do, to stop wars and to prevent them, and that's what the resolution did. was it antagonistic towards the russians? no. back to the point. but it also didn't praise the russians. all it said is, this is a bad war. it needs to end, and by the way, at the security council, which has not been widely reported, the first resolution on ukraine that has passed the security council in three years, passed this week because of the leadership of president trump and it's a resolution that says, bad war, needs to end, let's bring the two sides together. that's what the resolution is. again, what is the united nations for? isn't it not a forum to prom

they understand that russia's aspirations don't end with regards to just ukraine or belarus. it's it's looking to rebuild that russian empire and the soviet union. so what they're doing is they're sending a strong message. and that's only going to go. yesterday was a clear break that the u.s. wasn't going to be there. that's only going to be clearer as the europeans continue to embrace ukraine, demonstrate ironclad support for ukraine, because russia needs to be warned off, because ukraine needs to exit this war with security guarantees, long term peace, and with its territorial integrity intact. all this is now unfolding as a result of a complete 180 degree change in u.s. policy, a rejection of our allies, and an embrace of our enemies. >> policy that is decades old. i mean, it really is. since post-world war two breaking like this is that, um, you know, different from where we've been in the last several decades. in a statement released yesterday, you called president trump and vice president jardiance, quote, impulsive toddlers risking the shared security and western value

states voted the same as just 11 other countries, including russia and two of its closest allies, belarus and north korea. on thursday, the u.s. and russia conducted another round of meetings, this time in istanbul, discussing, among other things, restoring direct flights between the countries and issues dealing with diplomatic missions. that's according to the russian foreign ministry. putin later publicly praised the trump administration's, quote, pragmatism and realistic worldview, saying things so far are, quote, inspiring a certain degree of hope. joining me now is ben rhodes. he's a former deputy national security advisor in the obama administration. he's a co-host of the important podcast pod. save the world, is an msnbc political contributor, and is the author of the important book, after the fall the rise of authoritarianism authoritarianism in the world. we've made ben, ben about 24 hours since this went down. a little less than that. your thoughts? >> well. >> i think that you put your finger. >> on the fact that this is not just a shift in u.s. foreign policy. this is a comple

states voted the same as just 11 other countries, including russia and two of its closest allies, belarus and north korea. the u.s. also abstained from its own separate resolution, which contained no criticism of russia. after france, whose president happened to be at the white house at the same time, successfully amended it to include verbiage calling out russia as the invading aggressor. on thursday, the u.s. and russia conducted another round of meetings, this time in istanbul, discussing, among other things, restoring direct flights between the countries and issues dealing with diplomatic missions. that's according to the russian foreign ministry. putin, who has repeatedly ridiculed the united states and western democracy, later publicly praised the trump administration's, quote, pragmatism and realistic worldview, saying things so far are, quote, inspiring a certain degree of hope. end quote. joining me now is the retired army lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. he's a former director of european affairs for the u.s. national security council. he also formerly served as a political

date we had this you and vote where we started the week by siding with our adversaries, north korea, belarusa, and casting aside our friends, so it was really a strange start to the week on the third year anniversary of the full-scale war. the war itself has been going on since 2014 when russia first attacked and invaded and seized territory from ukraine. the title refers to what we see trump has adopted as a kind of core component of his foreign policy. highly transactional. everything has to be maximizing benefits to him. not even necessarily to the united states, but to him. this evolves out of something called realism. realism is all countries in the world pursue their interests and pursue them maximally, so each side is looking to extract as much as they can out of each and every one of these engagements. and when you have that, you have a slide towards this lunacy of forgetting the lessons of the past, everything is immediately in front of you, and you are looking to get the best deal possible. and you are enticed by these false promises from the russians that there are deals to be mad
