any notion that all of these other sunnis and kurds and other people should be part of a greater thing called syria. they don't care about that. all they care about is the survival of the alawites and then that sets up every other sectarian group in the country to simply defend only their sect and not an entity called syria. that was the basic problem. >> they also tortured and killed many alawites. >> they did, of course, of course. >> in 2012 the republican party had this speeders can you link and? >> the republican party family had this autopsy where they said, concluded that they were too racist basically come to at the immigration of that they needed to change. they obviously didn't, and it turns out that was the right thing to do for them electorally they won in 2016. is it ever going to be bad for them? if they continue to win on these sort of policies, is it ever going to -- >> i think it's bad for them right now, right? i mean, they are trying to govern the country based on pretty extreme policies that are popular only with about a third of americans, and they are imposing that as national

-- syrian government having created conditions in syria to allow for the return of up to 1.5 million refugees to that country. also, certainly a greater focus on reconstruction and actually i think a discussion of the return of refugees in some ways helps moscow to push forward a discussion of reconstruction particularly in a situation when the u.s. congress and some other parliaments i suspect are not too enthusiastic about contributing to reconstruction of syria under asad's continued leadership. we have seen also course discussion by putin and others and for that matter the iranians as well of the people who they describe as extremist in the in the area and the fate of those people -- the in limbo area and the fate of those people. these are basically the direction that russia is pointed in at this point. from an american perspective and speaking briefly about the policy indications my view would be that the united states has considerably more leverage in this situation than is generally appreciated. i understand why from the perspective of perhaps moscow or iran or syria they may feel they largely one the victory on the battlefiel

we have yemen, syria, iran, the greater middle east.'t dictate >> bill: the saudis are helping us in iraq and iran. >> not unlike the immigration problem we were talking about before. it is the way the president presents it. he keeps saying that the reason we should stay close to saudi arabia is because we could sell them weapons and make a lot of money. that's not the reason. i think mike pompeo explained in the "wall street journal" what the reason is. they are an ally in a very dangerous neighborhood and we need them for that reason. and we are going to sanction them with respect to this whatever happened to this journalist. we don't approve of it. we're there because they are an ally and they are part of what we are doing to stabilize and bring democracy. >> bill: you need saudi arabia. >> sandra: they're about to brief senators. gina haspel will not be there. it's a key part of this. >> it looks weird to people on both sides of the aisle. a lot of conversation about that yesterday why the decision got made and why would it be the c

syria is being negotiated far away in geneva by the u.n. sponsored talks there have stored and in rocca the treasures on. the longer reconstruction takes to begin says coachella cassava council. the greater the danger that i as my tree gained support among the people. the help offered so far is like um but it's not enough meeting with the u.s. representative the council vent their frustration they've heard that u.s. president on a tramp cut about two hundred million dollars from syria's stabilisation eight. leader model as if those who destroyed the city should rebuild it and what will we expect the coalition and the united states to help us with this goal they promised they would. fund now it's projects like this that the civil council is focusing on the pairing rock us infamous stadium. the foreman a match tells us islamic state terrorists carit out mass executions here and there they tortured hundreds of civilians in these cellars. i hope that the stadium will be full again one day and the people will come and play sports here again like they did before the i.a.s. took control that's what we're hoping for. the first two games sergio to take place here in a couple of weeks they could o

the syrian government, having created conditions in syria that would allow for the return of up to 1.5 million refugees to that country. also a greater discussion on reconstruction and the return of refugees helps moscow push forward reconstruction, particularly in a situation when, you know, the u.s. congress and some other parliaments, i expect, are not too enthusiastic about contributing to reconstruction of syria under assad's continued leadership. we've seen also, of course, discussion actually by putin and others for that matter actually the iranians as well of the people who they describe as extremists in the idlib area and the fate of those people. i think these are basically -- this is basically the direction that russia is pointed in at this point. from an american perspective and speaking just very briefly about the policy implications, my view would be that actually the united states has considerably more leverage in this situation than is generally appreciated, and i understand why from the perspective of perhaps moscow or iran or syria, they may feel that they've won or largely won a victory on the battlefield and are i

that is the high-end greater than peer competitor that russia i think is most worried about. so the question is has syria made them better at that war? i think that's, that's a legitimate question. the answer may be it's, the answer may be probably not. it's made them better at doing, as michael said concurrent air and ground operations but not really joint operations and even those operations don't involve any sort of high-speed maneuver forces on the ground. so it's a great question. >> one point you made is the ew, the electronic warfare piece and the russian ability to use that theater to perfect that, to you know keep tabs on us is also a piece of that equation, too. >> the conversation with us on long-range stand-off conventional weapons, which su know for a very long time, russian journal snapped the long-running dialogue. cruise missiles defacto have strategic effects, the united states has tremendous advantage. russia doesn't have anything remotely to parity. syria is where they began having this conversation with us by using cruise missiles of all types no the just to tempt test them there was

a greater threat to this country than isis diaster well i think it is going to responsible statement if you look at the let's say britain and the security of britain you'll find when russia and syria oh most eliminated the threat of the isis in syria we basically improve the security of the united kingdom and it's quite a funny story but still this is the fact the world and if you look at the budget neutral budget though the united kingdom it's fifty four billion and the russian oodgeroo budget this is this essence of the of the. says it's only four to six billion dollars and russia. has nothing to do with its troops i mean mostly brought why because this is the british troops who are not far from the russian borders especially in the store near and the generals there and the british is sending the troops to the ukraine in order to train the ukrainian soldiers to fight with the dumb boss and new guns so basically i see the military policy of the united what aggressive is he the russia business trade for isn't going to be the headlines of the newspapers even though breaks it and post breaks a trade deals are only agenda nor these alleged chemical attacks in syria surprise there's n

greater threat to this country than i says. well i think it is going to responsible statement if you look at the britain and the security of britain you'll find when russia and syria. eliminated the threat of the isis in syria we wish you could improve the security of the. i think in them and it's quite a funny story but still this is the fact of what and if you look at the no budget neutral budget though the united kingdom it's fifty four billion and the russian oodgeroo budget this is this essence of the of the i. says it's only forty six billion dollars and russia has nothing to do with its troops i mean mostly brought why because this is the british troops who are not far from the russian borders especially in the stone ear and the generals there and the british is sending the troops to the ukraine in order to train the ukrainian soldiers to fight with the done boss in the guns so basically i see the military policy of the united kingdom quite aggressive you see the russian business trade for isn't going to be the headlines of the newspapers even though breaks it and post breaks a trade deals are allegedly nor these alleged chemical attacks in syria surprised

syria and things like that. overall voices supporting liberal hegemony far outnumbered the voices that the united states should act for greater restraint. there are few places that we are in today but not very many. so why does the foreign-policy elite like liberal hegemony so much? many people generally believe that these ideals and that it would be good for america and good for the world but trying to remake the world in america's image increases their power and status, their sense of self-worth and achievement and he gives them plenty to do. in other words liberal hegemony is something of a full employment policy for the foreign-policy elite. the american people however have a somewhat different view. on the one hand they reject isolation overwhelmingly. surveys show this repeatedly. they also wanted much more restrained foreign-policy. 2013 for example 80% of americans surveyed agreed with the statement quote we should not think so much in international terms to concentrate on our own national problems and building up strength here at home, 80%. consider also the last four u.s. presidents ran for office promising to do le

syria. ... >> the hezbollah -like behavior of the cooties when the coalition military was not entiy fictional but largely hyped but now the iranians is greater in yemen that was when the started. look at the fight among the gcc countries and it gives iran the ability to embrace catarrh in a different way so the first thing is simply stop giving them the opportunity to expand their influences by preventing these foreign policy gifts that open the door for them. >> this is ancient history but i'm always struck by the impression i have when i have accompanied secretary general of the nations to toronto where we had a meeting, the spring later, i was his plus one and there was a great picture some of you may have seen that had me and i iranian aid and have an a and there's a caption contest at the state department and it the winning caption was seated left to right, see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil and evil ass but what struck me about this meeting was the monologue from -- was entirely about the united states. he was hosting the nonaligned movement and there was lots of international issues in which tehran was involved in the serial war

greater thinking about that should have been going from the sitting beginning. about the political order that they want to see in the and. they have identified eliminating command and forces on the ground in syria. i think there is another unstated goal there. a reconciliation with turkey. exactly how that is going to happen and exactly how that is going to affect the why pg relationship is unclear. it's going to be in negotiated. the other thing, they want constitutional reform in syria. again, unclear have a is going to happen. clearly the iranians don't want that to happen. where i think i see the beginning of the strategy here, out of the guy necessarily have a lot of hope and it's succeeding but there is a strategic from here. our -- we are not fighting the iranians directly. but our president -- our presence there is putting pressure on them. especially combined with our economic policy and warfare. against the ukrainians. it's imposing costs on them. somebody has to pay for all of the ukrainians dominated on the ground. also, there is pressure on the russians. the russians would like to wrap this up and get out. where i think the strategy is reading here, it's a russia based strategy. th
