it will fuel excessive devotion to maket and resources sure whatever perceived gains on the russia and china signed are pushed back against. that is a recipe for a decades-long kind of cold war with russia and china with the middle east, one of the most unstable regions in the world. we don't want to get pulled into that mess. it is far better, especially on matters not as important to just cooperate with russia, china, iran, and the europeans. the threats are miniscule compared to what is taught about. if you take an arms length approach and emphasize the value of diplomacy and deemphasize the military commitment. will push back and say my specific point is about u.s. nonproliferation leadership not just in the region but in the broader nuclear policy regime. >> where is u.s. nonproliferation vis-a-vis israel? kelsey: i would say that was a huge mistake and israel now at this point i think is an arms control and disarmament question. >> the point is we've always been hypocritical on this point. kelsey: i absolutely agree but when it comes to actually trying stronger nonproliferation standar

while trying to maintain a balance but russia's all talk of it was golden china has the money all russia has is memories who glorious past has been one overly complex or. people like to come to the bridge of orenburg to enjoy the sunset looking west towards europe but many confess that they're looking the other way more and more often. at this moment i'm sure their house each year will be our future after such china and other european are other regimes under sour grapes developing and they are influenced so life our culture well that that's why injuries our future. there. may be the new silk road will cross the ural river tomorrow and in the end a modern highway will connect china to europe as the railway already does. it will be a europe that's currently coping with many crises and that doesn't seem to have yet grasped the extent of she ging things project. how can your account or the power structures china is building along its new silk road. how will europe respond to this new soft imperialism based on economic growth and imperialism that's redrawing the map b

the leaders of brazil russia india china and south africa have gathered in johannesburg for the annual summit of the so-called brics nations trade and tariffs of course on top of the agenda as donald trump's continuous assault on free trade is giving the loose bloc a fresh impetus the leader of the biggest brics economy is also using the run up to the summit to further its own trade agenda on the continent. the chinese president xi jinping is traveling through africa and he's bought china's checkbook with him he has a little something for each country he visits on tuesday it was south africa's turn where she promised fifteen billion dollars in investments many companies are hoping they'll get a piece of the pie and that's boosting investor confidence. south african president so real ramaphosa has also been currying favor with investors since his swearing in in february. including china's pledge he secured thirty five billion dollars altogether. the bric summit is ramaphosa his first appearance on the international stage he's joined by the leaders of china russia india and brazil in joh

is no longer the sole head german of the world you have the likes of china and russia standing up to us foreign policy does not implying that they are knights in shining armor but it's the reality that there is more of a power equilibrium being established in the world the reason why i say this is because what's very interesting is that india has already stated that it is more inclined not to obey the sanctions on iran china itself has indicated that it may not accept the sanctions on iran and the e.u. is contemplating how to save the new can a deal france in particular wants airbus to benefit from its deals with iran and is desperately seeking some sort of arrangement the washington is aware of this and the proof of that is that trump has recently announced that he will assess the sanctions case on a case by case basis suggesting that there is room for leeway for opening up certain sectors or or preventing certain sectors from being subject to sanctions trumper should be well aware perhaps he is one of or at least his policy advisers will be well aware that this time implemented asc

and instead, china and russia do. under those circumstances, iran is goi is going to move deeper into the sphere of influence in russia and china, and the question is, what will that do geopolitically in the region and what is that going to do to any effort to put nonproliferation back on the agenda, because the chinese and the russians were never as gung ho as about or as concerned about the iran nuclear program as the europeans and the americans were, and why would the iranians need to the scale back the nuclear program if the russians and the chinese don't care about it that much. how do you see the prospects of that scenario? >> all right. i'll start. it is a good question. i think that the scenario that we could very likely see in part because if you are looking at can china. china is one of the few countries that actually has the banking sector and the finances to facilitate transactions and to fund investments in iran in a way that does not actually touch the u.s. dollar system. the way that the chinese financi

for example the petro dollar an energy trade and move to national currencies for example india china russia tell us why do some of the brics members continue to move away from the dollar. well i mean it's too powerful as it is and american dependence has been exposed as being a dangerous thing to have so if you consistently holding on to u.s. dollars and donald trump and friends change their monetary policy or act in a way that continue to undermine your local needs and interests of course you want to make sure that you've got other currencies in your bag and that's why i think people are beginning to see dollar rise and look at other options and i think it's a healthy thing to do i think the us dollar has been dominant for a very long time and it's about time that we begin to renegotiate. the imminent within the market. j.v. wyo that there have been statements in the past from various leading economies saying that the brics are developing countries with very little power and influence in the world despite some of them boasting of the world's biggest populations and thriving trade why do yo

and european but also with russia and china you know we're going to this period where we got something that's called the silk road is connecting china through cazenove sound and many other countries with russia as i was in st petersburg i was also in conference on and president putin was there also as well as his chief economic advisor and this whole silk road idea of uniting that whole area is certainly got to be something your great interest to europe and to european and to the youth and just looking back on that seminal work of yours confessions of a hit on the hitman i mean is it does it sound like something of a hero i mean britain has failed to destroy say the assad government nato nations of the failed to destroy him a duro in venezuela. england trying to destroy putin that doesn't seem to be working and the days when they don't nations could destabilize countries. over now because of the differences in this century i don't think it's over all i think is still on a big scale the difference is. that there's been another factor that's coming in and that's a very strong militarism

russia is a foe in certain respects. china is a foe economically certainly they're a foe. but that doesn't mean they're bad. it doesn't mean anything. it means that they're competitors. they want to do well, and we want to do well. we're starting to do well. you see what's going on. we have the best employment numbers probably that we've ever had, black unemployment is the lowest level in history. hispanic unemployment the lowest level in history, jeff. women unemployment lowest in 66 years. our numbers are great. our g.d.p. numbers are far greater than what they thought. >> brennan:>> a lot of people me surprised to hear you list the e.u. as a foe before china and russia. >> new york i look at them all. the e.u. is very difficult. maybe the thing that's most difficult, don't forget, both of my parents were born in e.u. sectors, okay. my mother was scotland. my father was germany. and, you know, i love those countries. i respect the leaders of those countries, but in a trade sense, they've really taken advantage of us, and many of those countries are in nato. they weren't

anger the united states the main signatories of the iran nuclear deal or the other signatories so china russia and the europeans they have been pretty consistent also they have remained reserved towards these attempts by the americans to convince them to him oppose new iran for them a decision there is a no brainer they would always choose the united states over iran and then the whole agreement might unravel if there is no benefit for iran it karsten how much support does the us president have for this tough stance on iran well that depends when donald trump left the iran the green ones polled said that's two thirds of the american population were against that decision at the same time of course nobody hears things that the iranian regime is a very good one and most people don't mind probably to put some pressure on that regime and hope that it might somehow go away certainly a majority is not in favor of war but the iranian regime is not very popular but the bottom line is that many people have criticized the discrepancy between donald trump's behavior towards russia which a tech to as throu

pull putin and russia into his. china strategy it's a difficult. balancing act that he's involved with but but there's this kind of you know really hot and cold war is russia all the time is absolutely part of that and i think this example that you've just just mentioned is another part of that he's got to try and appease his own. neo con republican establishment at the same time as he's following this kind of kissinger ask policy of driving a wedge between russia and china so is that he's got appeal to many different crowds if you like don't appreciate your time but my guest independent political. thanks very much you know. you can security minister islam to media reports the police have identified those behind the poisoning of the scruples as being ill informed wild speculation the date the press association news agency citing their source close to the probe then the perpetrators had been found and it set the media but police investigating this particular incident back in march believe that they do have the identity of two suspects press associati

china, frankly, is going to overwhelm russia economically, demographically, but the ability of the americanshat, at this point, is really zero. furthermore, if you want to try to triangulate china, you would want the trans-pacific partnership. you would want a good relationship with america's allies in europe, a good relationship with american allies in japan. trump is not working on any of those things -- >> laura: our relationship with japan is very strong. our relationship with the natotr allies from angela merkel, to emmanuel macron, theresa may, it all seems to be very positive. coming out of that summit, even the nato secretary general , it was a very good so meant for us. they are all lying? >> they are diplomatic, they don't want to break nato. they are trying to do their l best -- >> laura: got to pay their fair share. >> i'm just saying if trump is trying to build an alliance, which i think we all believe is the most important strategic thing to do, he has not gone about that effectively. foreign policy -- >> laura: it's complex. it's new to him. in a few moments we'll hear a about

china have formed. and line in a way that the u.s. and russia haven't because both india and china also have nuclear weapons that is going to. develop its nuclear weapons in nine hundred ninety eight has been twenty years it has how many nuclear bombs under them ten and twenty compared to what the superpowers have said ten years into the new developments india has a. very very few programs that is the case with china and china also has a very solid no question in get us more progress on that northwest us to see what kind of us and china house will be at the end of reference so even pakistanis have no more than i'm going to do their constituents i fly think of the other countries not china pakistan and india. where they are better in many ways that the superpowers and they continue to behave in a manner that is not setting a good example the other countries in the international system and mr off let me come to you do you think that the fact that all of these countries especially when you're talking about india china pakistan india and between you

>> well, one of the things i do understand is is that, everyone has to remember russia and china have been aligned with north korea. anytime that we put economic pressure on russia or china, we're trying to do negotiations with north korea, both of those countries are not going to be our real good friends, trying to help them push any of our negotiations or to look at any sanctions we have going on. melissa: wait a second. if we flip what you said, wouldn't we put economic pressure on china and russia in order to help us with this situation with north korea? >> well we are. think about what we're doing with china right now. think about all the sanctions going on in russia and we asked both of them to help us with the denuclearization of north korea. one of the problems though the other two countries hold playing cards because we have this trade war with china now, we have big sanctions against russia, we are asking them for help with north korea. melissa: how do you see them as them holding the cards? we're ones putting the pressure on. we say we will release this pressure if you help

so russia is clearly interested china is the major trading partner investor more than the eu combined. the critical thing is both russia and china are the major military and that is good and the russians have talked about it but i haven't heard if they have at the base but it is have a foothold that was proven to be true during the missile crisis. because they pulled their missiles from turkey and the soviet union pulled their missiles from china. now we have china andtht russia back because i agree and now china in particular and to use cuba as a stepping down to oil-rich venezuela. >> that is a really strange strategy. does china really need to use cuba as a steppingstone? and cuba has no oil. >> but it should have. >> so the chinese makes a lot ofof sense because they are deeply embedded. >> what pronoun should i use? >> i don't know. mentioning senator rubio but the way you describe u.s. policy now as you do in your book like the 1990s and 2000 cuban-american national foundation t and others that are controlling u.s. foreign policy this is 20 years later with the demographics and

>> i think it's a russia reaching out to china and vice versa but if you look historically at china andake history into account when i do my analysis. if you look at the history of russia their threat has been and always shall be to the east. their thread is really an expanding china into their east. that's what they are worried about. >> captain nash it's great having you on the show. thank you very much. >> it's a just pleasure being with you charles. charles: audience thank you and of course here is lou. lou: good evening everybody. our top story's president trump harpooning the haters today just two days after returning from his historic european trip. the president's russia strategy showing signs of potentially making real foreign-policy dividends and leaving the ever more unhinged lunatic left in the never trumper's absolutely great did. >> there has been no president ever as tough as i have been on russia. all you have to do is look at the numbers and look at what we have done. president putin knows that better than anybody c
