but we were working with those who became the northern alliance. the northern alliance are those who are no controlling the afghan government. not everyone who rallies around the islamic cause is the same. there is a difference between the taliban and the northern alliance and so forth. wastedeve talks about, lives and so forth, this is the basic issue. the basic issue is will the united states be safe if afghanistan falls to the taliban? or will he go back to a pre-9/11 day? this is the issue which donald trump and before him barack obama wrestled with. him before that george bush -- and before that george bush wrestled with. will it be more expensive down the line to pick up the pieces if there is a terrorist safe haven? when osama binve laden declared war on the united states and we laughed it off, he meant what he said. when the islamic state said they want to see the black flag of the islamic state flying over the white house, they may mean it. one of the other issues we can look at in the broad understanding of terrorism is whether the motiva

at the same time was the main regional supporter of the opposing group that was known as the northern alliance and those were the two forces fighting each other in the civil war the taliban won the civil war in one thousand nine hundred six and pakistan continued to support them when the us invaded and overthrew the taliban government in two thousand and one claiming that the taliban was harboring osama bin laden interestingly the guy that the u.s. used to support back in the eighty's the the role of pakistan became a very tricky one because they were now supporting the afghan taliban against u.s. interests by that the same time there was a an a pakistani taliban operation that they were challenging that they were fighting against so it became rather complicated and in the meantime the other group that was known as the northern alliance more warlords not that different than the taliban they were now created in by the u.s. into the new afghan government and they became the government they still are so you have these groups of competing warlords on both sides both of which have not been very hel

supported largely by pakistan the opponents of the taliban a group that was first called the northern alliance and is now called the government of afghanistan was supported largely by india and later by india and the u.s. and now all the u.s. allies that are in there but this is a longstanding divided country and there are no front lines this is not armies facing off against each other and it's a it's a terrible situation when we heard president trump saying in his speech you know the beginning of it when he was being very presidential he was saying americans are tired of this war they're tired of war without victory it's like nobody asked the afghans are they tired of war would they like this war to end rather than say that one side or the other is going to win. because ironically everybody agrees that at some point this war is going to end with some kind of diplomacy some kind of negotiations that the taliban are going to be involved in sure and the question is how long does the fighting go on how many how many more people are going to die before that happens well and just to be precise for

mean three million miles to earth where they stream into the poles and give a roar like the northern alliance the ability to actually sparkle so our show for you to remember everyone in this world we are not told we love the love so it's always wall i love you i am tired and on top of the watching those hawks are great but everybody. would hope to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be present. for some want to. have to going to be this is what the three of the people. interested in the waters. there should be. i'm john harshman and i'll give you what the mainstream media chants the big picture will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. welcome to on contact today we discuss the collapse of the american traditional system with legal scholar dr khan of the system. in the fact says the only way you can retain even a semblance of freedom is to walk around with the rest of your life with a criminal record and that's called freedom. with chris hedges our courts and law schools have become wholly owned subsidia

they were opposing taliban, and supplying northern alliance.also backed and worked to over throw the taliban after 9/11. and so the fact that russians are now according to these reports arming taliban shows they are -- this is a deliberate, to rt t effort to constrain the united states, they are putting their thumb in our eye, talking about vladimir putin and fight against terrorism, he is on the wrong side, he is on wrong side in supporting assad regime and ira iranian regime. david: it shows how heartless, as if we needed proof, that russians are, in particular an ex-kgb guy. nevertheless, thousands of the russians were killed by taliban, and their supporters. >> russians are cold-blooded in pursuing their national interest be and notion you can affect them by personal relationships, does not work, and this another system demonstration. david: north korea. how soon before they have another test? either of an nuclear bomber icbm . >> i think they can test almost and time, i don't think there is reason to believe that absence of testing shows a

he talked about how they fought the taliban, supported the northern alliance athey wanted to work togethernow as you say, these reports indicate that putin is arming the very people who killed russians as well as killing americans so, there's no end to the duplicity coming out of moscow. gregg: we played a moment ago the comments about rex tillerson, secretary of state, about north korea, is there a way forward with north korea short of military force? >> i think the only diplomatic play left is convincing china it's in the national interest to reunite the two interests. a hard argument to make. i should comment on secretary tillerson's remarks, i was stunned to hear him say north korea was showing restraint and maybe we could talk to them. history over the last 25 years is filled with example after example of the north koreans making temporary concessions to get touts negotiating table, making big concessions, promising solemnly to entirely give up nuclear weapons program. gregg: and snookered us every single time. >> life did not begin on january 20th, 2017, we've got history and no hist

bob: if we start scaling back on the balance sheet, and let's say you get a five star northern league type of alliancech is pushing for a referendum on italian exit, yields aren't going to be where they are now. at the same time the ecb has pulled back its balance sheet tool, are they going to go back in three months later? they need to focus on the rate side of things. i think the focus on the balance sheet -- ?rancine: ralf ralf: i didn't think i would expect to the more bearish than bob. i think the policy mistake is already baked in the cake. since december of last year, when the ecb reduced qe meaningfully. we've always seen a massive tapering of the support the ecb expends to the bond market. it has brought with it a very substantial tightening of monetary conditions. if you look at the move in real rates in europe, the entire effect of qe has already been unwound. monetary conditions today are tighter than they were before qe was launched. yet we are talking about inflation at 1.3% and the ecb forecasting exercise where if they apply their own sensitivities mechanically, they might have to revi

friends and allies but the reality of the situation is that northern syria is now a metaphorical minefield of possible clashes with conflicting alliances that could unravel at the slightest misstep. turkey remains a nato ally and an important part partner in the fight against dash we expect both those relationships those multilateral issues ships to continue. going to continue to work with the white b.g. as a part of. syrian democratic forces. merica i told you many times you either side with us terrorist organizations you haven't had a good growth them and that's why the region is turned into the sea. up till now america has more or less managed to navigate the murky waters between the turks and kurds even deploying a number of troops to northern syria months ago with the specific task of deterring the two parties from attacking one another but that effort has met with little success leaving few surprised in the wake of these recent skirmishes and fact conflicts like this one have been a long time coming if it's and then american military advisers go to. fool sleeps with no kids american. carries out the will of assad by accident if y

clan leader in california got $250,000, the national alliance, a nazi group based in washington, d.c., they got $50,000. arian nations up in northern idaho, they got $40,000. that one heist, that ukiah armored car heist, it wasn't just a huge multimillion dollar robbery. it was also supposed to fund the start of the next civil war in the united states of america. the guys who robbed that armored car on highway 101 back in 1984, they were part of a neo-nazi gang that called itself the order. and the order is best remembered now for having assassinated this man, a jewish talk radio host in denver, in 1984, a man named allen berg. but most of the crimes committed by the order weren't just murder and assassination which we remember them for now. most of their crimes were about money. when they robbed armored cars and they robbed video stores and they robbed banks, all of these robberies that they committed all up and down the west coast, they were all designed to collect cash to arm and fund a violent movement that was going to wage a race war in america, a ra race war that would ultimately create a white's only homeland in the united

alliance between the conservative and unionist party think that's what they're technically called and the do you pay but these people are clever negotiators when i was shot at texas state for northern ireland i saw what they extracted as a deal from tony blair in exchange for votes and it comes to millions they're great at getting public funds for example from if the reason may think there's going to be a small price tag here so you can think again they are going to be intransigent because they hold the keys to power not of the trees in may but for three hundred eighteen or three hundred ninety nine paise. very likeable people in my view but they're not the kind of people you want to be beholden to because they'll probably win the negotiation there was some commentary on social media that there was a strange kind of hypocrisy here because theresa may have criticised corbin for being a supporter of the i. when the deal. is aligned with protestant paramilitary groups in the north we all know that the ira were in direct talks with the british government up the british governments perhaps right back in the early one nine hundred seventy s. different colored governments but the same nar
