gen petraeus: it's great to be back with the atlantic council. thank you for the kind invitation and thank you for guiding this conversation. i think we face today the greatest number of threats and the most complex array of threats since the end of world war ii. if you think of the u.s. is the guy in the circus who has to keep plate spending there are more plates in the tent than at any time since the end of world war ii. we have allies and partners who help us keep those plates spinning at this year array of those in the responses that we have to take, the preparation that we have to undergo to be able to address all of them because they are all up and down the spectrum of conflict is very considerable. the biggest of the plates, you alluded to, this has to do with the u.s. in the western relationship with china. that is the biggest plate in the tent. we try to focus on the and pacific and key getting drawn back into the middle east, europe or other challenges elsewhere. that is the main effort and deterrence there is the most important mission

ali: thank you so much for your insights, general petraeus. am now going to turn to questions from the audience. first from jack. he asks, how do you parse the role of plumber c and foreign relative to modern warfare? should diplomacy focus on defusing tension, averting conflict and resolving conflict or focus more on facilitating warfare such as arranging and facilitating military alliances? gen. petraeus: it is a great question, especially because i felt very strongly about the role of diplomats and diplomacy and associated entities under the country led by the ambassadors under which i was privileged to serve. a great wearing comrade jim matus captured this well when he said if you don't give us diplomats, you're going to have to provide more ammunition. the answer to the question is that it is all of the above. obviously you want in the beginning to avoid warfare. in that role, the diplomacy that cobbles together the components of deterrence is very significant. it is crucial. if you look at the indo pacific, the deterrents in the indo pac

it can change the positional nature of the war in ukraine, according to retired us general david petraeuse other day in washington, he presented his book about the evolution of war, as well as how military affairs were affected by the hostilities in ukraine, he talked with general petraeus andriy boris. he devoted 40 years to the us army, led coalition forces in afghanistan and iraq, and at the end of his career was the director of the us central intelligence agency. a retired four-star general. today he advises investment companies, teaches at universities and writes books. the latest, published last month: conflict - the evolution of war from 1945 to ukraine, co-published with british historian andrew roberts. the war in ukraine is a kind of combination of a novel called na the western front is unchanged and fantastic. the one that runs along the blade, the long trenches like in the first world war, the deep minefields, the anti-tank ditches like in the second world war, there are elements from the cold war, when i was a major and a brigade officer in germany, in we had m1 arams tanks,

general petraeus served as the director following 37 years in the united states army. his last military assignments were as commander of international security force in afghanistan and as the commander of the u.s. central command and commanding multinational force iraq where he oversaw the coalition forces in iraq and also the surge. i think it is going to be interesting to hear him as well on gaza although this happened after the book was complete. i'm also incredibly proud to say general petraeus as a board member of the atlanta council and the recipient of the highest honor for military leaders the atlanta council distinguished military leadership award. general petraeus, some of us believe we are facing the greatest threat to global order since the 1930s and we all know what happened at the end of the 1930s with putin's war on ukraine, hamas terrorist attacks and the ensuing war and tensions around china and taiwan. today's discussion will reflect the end of world war ii and explain what the war in ukraine and gaza pretend for the modern warfare. the conversation t

and please join me in thanking general petraeus and lord roberts.

so allow me to introduce the authors, general david petraeus is a retired u.s. army general, having served in the army for 37 years. he graduated distinction from the u.s. military academy, earned a ph.d. from princeton. he ended his career with five consecutive of commands as general officer, including command of the surge in iraq and the u.s. central command. and he then served the director of the cia, and he is currently a partner of kkr and chairs its global institute. and lord roberts of belgravia, also known as andrew roberts for year for the name on the book, is a biographer, a historian whose books include bestsellers about winston napoleon and george the third. certainly people that you know, you can think of. i don't him doing something you know something as small as like martin van buren or something like that any time soon. he's he's a fellow no fence smarter than his in his and his ancestors. he's a fellow of the royal society of literature and the royal historical society. and but most importantly, he is a member, a proud member, if i can say, of t

general petraeus, you are the author of a new book "conflict." thank you so much for joining me. please come pack. a lot more to talk about. >> thank you. >>> up next, a cnn exclusive. a second grand jury has been called in the hunter biden special counsel investigation. could more charges be looming for the president's son? we'll talk about that, next. >>> now to some exclusive reporting. the president's son is facing another potential indictment. special counsel david weiss c convened a grand jury and subpoenaed the president's brother in the investigation into hunter biden's business dealings. appointing a grand jury may suggest that weiss is preparing to bring new charges against hunter biden, who is already facing gun possession charges back east in delaware. let's discuss with cnn senior justice correspondent evan perez and legal analyst carry kardaro. explain what sources are telling you. >> we know this is an ongoing investigation that's been ongoing for more than five years now. the special counsel is moving to get testimony, documents for a numb of witnesses, including

joining us is general david petraeus. thank you for joining us today.start with what we are hearing from the president, we are getting close to hostages being able to get from hamas. what israel may be giving up and the us might have to get those hostages back. >> the biggest issue is this will provide some days during which hamas can reorganize, requip, reposition and so forth. probably worth the price of getting 50 or so hostages a day through this period. at the end of that period is real will resume the offensive against hamas. hamas has to be feeling on the ropes to a degree. what you need is a pause and that is what they are trying to achieve, to get back 3 for one although i will leave it to the israelis to assess how valuable these individuals will be who are released to hamas and returned for the hostages that are returned to israel and the us and other countries. edward: there could be some intelligence you get, you can see where their troops are going or where hamas is stirring from or going to. you could learn from that also. >> it could be

petraeus's straight shooting analysis conflict is the best one. lume study of conventional warfare in the nuclear age. it sets a new benchmark in understanding modern war. another review. janet hook of the los angeles times takes a look at atlantic politics writer mckay coppins. new book about the life and political career of mitt romney. mr. coppins gained eraordinary access to romney's private journals, texts and emails and was granted hours interviews with romney over two years. janet hook writes many reade will come for the juicy scoops and score settling, but the book also tries to do something more important. coppins raises probing questions about how much republicans like romney were complicit in the rise of donald trump. now, that book comes just weeks after senator romney announced that he won't seek reelection in 2024. now, the books we just talked about in reviews and new releases, you can watch for them in the near future. on booktv. well, coming up, it's our weekly afterwords program. this week, martin baron talks about his leadership

in particular for our pilots, yes, and the former head of the central intelligence agency, david petraeus that your forecasts, although, well, the theme, the theme of the accordion player, you know, it has already been going on for more than six months, but what we have now, you know, let's try to outline , which petraeus did not say for sure, and, but about what for sure may know which cruise missiles can be used for our f16, because, on the one hand, in the western media there was talk of the option that we are talking about cruise missiles and gm-158 in the usa, which were specially developed for the f16 and may even have better names in german of the military industry, that they calculated the option of integrating the taurus under the f16, well, just like that, they would not do such a complex and illogical thing as the integration of the taurus missile under an aircraft for which this taurus was not created, that is, who knows, especially since they listed both the f16 and the su-24, the su-24 was declared there for only six months. of which there are four, they laid down for the tr

, is with general david petraeus, is out now .'ll ask you about the new book in just a moment, but what are the crimes laid at churchill's door and what is your response to them? well the first one that some muslim scholars come up with is the idea that he used poison gas against iraqi tribes in the immediate post first world war. >> and this is completely untrue . if this scholar would like to go to cambridge churchill college, cambridge, he can actually see the document, which i've seen , which makes it quite i've seen, which makes it quite clear that churchill was talking about lachrymatory gas , i.e. about lachrymatory gas, i.e. tear gas, not poison gas. like like like mustard gas or phosphine gas , so on. so it's phosphine gas, so on. so it's just a misreading of the of the facts. another other attack made by german scholars is that the combined bomber offensive against germany was a war crime. that, too is completely wrong. what it did was to stop the increase in inaya armaments production from 1943 onwards and allowed us to

and it feels to me like if you listen to jen petraeus and all of those people who fought these kind of insurgencies, they always say the most important thing is don't alienate the vast majority of the locals. isolate the insurgents. it feels to me there's a danger you're lumping them all together, and petraeus had a sign above his mosul headquarters saying "have our actions today killed more terrorists or created more terrorists?" i think the idea of the israeli military should put that sign up on their headquarters as well. >> yeah, that question is very much back with us, no question about it. fareed zakaria, thank you so much. appreciate the time as always. >>> all right. in the meantime, tomorrow former president donald trump is set to take the stand. the future of his businesses in new york on the line. a preview of his testimony next. >>> the last couple days have gone great. you know why they've gone great? because we haven't done a damn thing right. if you can line up as many trump as you possibly can, she can sit in court for an extra kcouple days and send fund-raising emails

israel is not following petraeus' strategy. they are an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 hamas fighters in gaza. in a place where the population of more than 2 million, about half of which is children, as best we can tell, gazans have had mixed views towards lahamas. it mounted a coup in 200 1k37 has ruled since then with an iron, islamic first, but as gazans suffered a cruel siege that has blocked water and fuel to all 2 million residents and experiencing hourly bombardment, utsch whatting thousands of civilian deaths, they could well r rally around hamas and it's what a counter terrorism aims for. israel is feeling deeply vulnerable and a vulnerability made worse by the appalling rise of antisemitism including the united states, but it is worth reflecting on whether policies forged in anger and retribution yield lasting gains. israel invaded lebanon and got hezbollah. it had the palestinian in the west bank which strengthened hamas. i don't know what this current campaign in the long run produce, but i fear it will not be good for

. >>> joining us is retired army general david petraeus. he is the co-author of conflict the evolution of warfare from 1945 to ukraine. very happy you are here to start. i want to talk about bigger picture in a moment. you what heard there, as someone to has overseen, planned, been a part of special operations, mixes, if you will, this is being described as something that you would send operators in, they keep saying precision, no gunfire exchanged inside the hospital itself. based on what you heard, do you have a sense of what this operation actually entailed? >> yeah, they have to secure a hospital. remember when we first talked about had operation. if you are going to destroy hamas, you have to clear every building, every floor, every room, every cellar, every tunnel, every structure, including hospitals. when we cleared felucia for the final time in the surge in iraq, the first facility we secured was the hospital. we wanted to keep it functioning and ensure there was not a source of disinformation as it had been in the past. every sing

edward: i talked to general david petraeus about this, listen to what he told me about having a pause here. listen to this. >> the biggest issue here is that this will undoubtedly provide some days during which hamas can reorganize, rearm, requip, reposition and so forth. hamas has to be feeling on the ropes to a degree and when you are on the ropes you need a pause, a breather and that is what they are trying to achieve. >> he added a pause has to happen to get the hostages out but are you concerned about the length of this pause? >> exactly. hostages could come out in a matter of hours if hamas wanted to let them and what we should have done here is allow israel to press their advantage and the deal for hamas would be we will stop killing you when you let all the hostages out. i hope the government of qatar and egypt, both of which contributed to this negotiation are making it clear to hamas that any bad behavior on their part during the pause means this is the last pause and israel needs to finish this job, the united states should support them one hundred% in this. remembering how

at the time we get to the time let it with a petraeus didn't even the dates didn't really like him they saluted and implemented it. and that was a different president. and yeah, i mean, you should totally considered, well maybe that was 2011 and were out 18 months and he can -- i think part of it is also just the comfort of being commander-in-chief come to. those things converge. yeah, i think, i think what he would say is why shouldn't i as president consider hey, if i put all my -- it's not just a political question, it's actually a substantive governing questioned if i make my presidency about this war in afghanistan i not been available to all bunch of other stuff. thatik came up into syria contet were as like if i believe, what obama say, , that there's no limited military action here, the we can make any difference. if we do this, this of undoing the rest of a president morsi. without any evidence after libby, afghanistan and iraq that we can pull this off. i'm not doing anything else. there's the paris agreement. and there i think with a military intervention you often damned if

historian, the founder and president of the institute for the study of war and you advised general david petraeus in kabul for 17 months during the afghanistan war. currently, there are two major wars underway, the israel-hamas war and russia's ukraine war. describe the mission of the institute for the study of war against the backdrop of these conflicts. - the institute for the study of war exists to help civilian leaders, policymakers, military leaders, and journalists and the american public understand what is happening in conflict zones around the world. isw conducts what we call open source intelligence analysis. one of the ways that we follow the war in ukraine is through watching or listening to how it is that the russians talk about combat operations in ukraine. they don't tell the truth. but some of what they comment on and publish on actually has latent information in it. and we can use a whole suite of new kinds of tools that allow us to verify that information. - well, listen, i know the majority of your work at the moment is on focuses on ukraine. and you also have a deep expertise i

and so by the time we get to the even though petraeus didn't it even though gates didn't really like it, they saluted and and implemented it and and that was a different president. and yeah, i mean, you know i you should totally consider well, maybe that was 2011 and we're out of 18 months and he can be be i think that part of it is also just the comfort in being commander in chief to those things converge. but yeah i think i think that what he would say is why shouldn't i as president consider hey, if i if i put all my it's not just a political question, it's actually a substantive governing question. if i make my presidency about this in afghanistan, i'm not going to be able to do a whole bunch of other stuff. and that's certainly came up in the syria context, whereas like if i, if i believe what obama said, that there's not no limited military actions here that can make any difference. so if we do this, this is what i'm doing, the rest of my presidency without any evidence after libya, afghanistan, iraq, that we can pull this off. and i'm not doing anything else. you know, there's

i paid general petraeus a lot of money for that blurb and boy, did that pay off. i'd like to also thank kari, robb and my old friend who's who did all these arrangements to make this a success tonight. and i'd like to thank all of you for making time and trouble to come and see me on such beautiful evening. and i'm sure you could be doing a lot of other. but i want to tell you how much i appreciate that. you know, i want to just take you into the into the world of the us army in 1945 tonight it's a when you take a look at this map you can just see the vastness of the of the theater. it's just almost stagger at this point. 1945, the army had had started to come into full maturity. and it's it's basically spread out along our map here from desolate outposts in alaska to choking jungles and burma, new guinea, the solomon islands, the caves back to the hills, a late in all of these other little sort of seemingly insignificant places in between. the army has really by this point done the vast majority of the fighting and the plurality of the dying in this war. so as of

i heard david petraeus say today that he suggests that there is a working group at senior levels of theeks. we really need to stop talking about a day after. we're not talking about a day after, some sort of need transition between concept and no concept. we're talking about weeks, months, and i would argue even longer in terms of trying to envision how gaza will settle. who is going to deal with the 2.3 million humans, half of whom are displaced with almost no prospects of infrastructure and returning to their homes? who is going to take care of the immediate humanitarian needs? i don't think the israelis have that in mind. they are hoping, i suspect, that the u.n. will come in with some other agency to provide services and demand a key role in security. >> who will pay the price for all of that? aaron david miller, who will pay for it? thank you so much. it's good to have you on the program. why king charles had to deliver a speech today at odds with his own beliefs. own beliefs. hi, i'm todd. i'm a veteran of 23 years. i served three overseas tours. i love to give back to the communi

> for more on all of this, let's go to retired army colonel meter monsieur who served with david petraeusuring the iraq war. he is a professor of history at ohio state university. and rob d'amico, a retired fbi agent with hostage negotiations experience, including with qatar and the taliban. qatar, at the center of this, as they negotiate -- mediate between israel and hamas. colonel monsieur, i want to start with you. and how israel is prosecuting its war. israel and the military have made a big push to roprove hama is using hospitals for cover. we saw the israelis strike the indonesian hospital. 12 people were killed, among them patients. i spoke to an adviser to benjamin netanyahu who told me that israel is complying with international law, the way they go about to dismantle hamas in gaza. they say it's proportional to the attack we saw on october 7th. what are your thoughts? >> israel is winning the war on the ground and losing the battle for information around the world. israel probably is, you know, come flying with the law of war but it can't prove it. it needs to have reporters emb

david petraeus defeated a series of terrorist groups emphasized that separating the general population from the terror group is key. in addition, he adds, you have to offer the population something, some hope for a better future. in his and andrew roberts' new book "conflict", they contribute to to the political factors as the military ones. israel is not following pet rayas's strategy. there is an estimated 30,000 to about 40,000 fighters in gaza with a population of more than 2 million, half of which is children. as best we could tell, gazans have had mixed views toward hamas. it won one election in 2006, mounted a coup in 2007 and has ruled since then with an iron islamic fist. but now as gazan suffers a cruel siege, experiencing hourly bombardment, watching thousands of civilian deaths, they could well rally around hamas. it is the opposite of what a well designed counter-terrorism strategy aims for. i realize it is easy to critique from afar. and israel is feeling deeply vulnerable. a vulnerability pead worse by the appalling rise of anti-semitism in so many parts of the world inc

we had had general petraeus with us yesterday. everyone remembers his important question early on in the invasion into iraq. tell me how this ends. you have recounted going back into an iraqi city that had been conquered, trying to retake it. you experienced the how does this end personally. do you see israel heeding that lesson that america is asking it to? >> i know they are starting to think about it, but they need to think about it a lot harder. they need to make sure their military actions on the ground are all contributing to a peaceful end to this conflict. in many ways, this is israel going back into gaza after they pulled out several years ago. if they go into gaza today and just leave it a smoldering mess, killing so many civilians that they recruit more terrorists to the cause than they actually take out, then we're going to be right back in the same situation. they are going to have the same national security problems. so they have to actually show the palestinians that there's a brighter and different future than what

i'm not allowed to talk about this, petraeus has arrived, they are interested in europeans, they choose be useful? in the future, if any of these politicians and businessmen begin to speak out against the pentagon’s policies, they will be removed from power. this is a political lobby for nato countries. i call them the gang that killed kennedy. they are still alive, still strong , very strong in the war, they did not feel the first and second world war. i think these people are hungry for power, they are ready to make a breakthrough. can we save the european union? this is their number one question. hello tony, tell me. please, you spend your whole life studying the bilder club is dolls or a puppetry that elects our politicians, and this is what the bilderberg club does, 10 years after the end of the second world war, they formed, it is very important to understand where these people came from, this is a very broad organization, they recruit people, who will later become bill clinton, tony blair, will perform at the international... literally a few years after these gathered in the usa,

general david petraeus said falluja would look like a cakewalk. this would be a dangerous urban combat. they have to battle through this unpopularity because it is important for the national security. stuart: will we maintain our support, will we cave in the face of international pressure to cease-fire or stop the invasion? >> i don't suspect we will but israel has to be looking at the roles of republicans, independents, democrats, college campuses, the hamas supporters in congress and saying we count on support of america regardless of who is president for 70 years and that probably, that support i don't think is something israel can count on 20 years from now or 10 years from now. they have to look at the situation and say we need to figure this out on our own because soon we might be on our own. stuart: i will change the subject and look at some polling, new quinnipiac poll that shows trump and biden practically tied in a 2024 rematch. that's the case in the last few months, recent events have not changed public opinion but another result from

i talked with general david petraeus yesterday.d minds under president obama of the iraqis to win the iraqi war. what do you think happens with the israeli defense forces, do they need to win the hearts and minds of palestinians and rebuild what has been destroyed in northern gaza? >> hamas cannot be allowed to retain control. in 2,005 the israelis left. gaza was not a drop you patient but hamas couldn't build infrastructure, they couldn't turn the lights on because they are insurgents and fighters, they cannot govern. i would hope to get palestinian civilians within gaza see hamas for what they are, the root of all this destruction. hamas caused this, not israel. i would like to see israel do what they can to win the hearts and minds. it will be difficult but should be attempted. edward: appreciate your time on this. hopefully you get something good for black friday. may be a dealer two. appreciate it. time to check in with jackie deangelis and "the big money show" to see what they have coming up at the top of the are. basics t ne

you have that kind of arrangement that general petraeus put in iraq that ended basically al qaeda inoption on the table and ending palestinian sub ji indication, we will only be planning for the second war and the second war and the second hamas. >> what about the war extending beyond the borders of gaza and israel? because hahs mass is now essentially threatening. what is happening between these proxy wars, the iran-backed militias, you also have essentially hamas and hezbollah will fully enter the war in hamas is eradicated from gaza. what do you make of that? >> look, he spoke about not wanting to be involved, but he said the target is the united states. around the region, around the world, the fact that president biden gave israel $14 billion without conditionality, without even complying with international law or america's law, the law that suggests nobody should use that weapon to commit war crimes or violate human rights. the fact that there's no red line on how to use weapons, the fact that they are bombing hospitals and refugee camps, which president biden called it a war cr

you shouldn't enter of war without thinking about, as as david petraeus famously asked in iraq, tellnds. tell me what's ahead? there are israelis in the israeli defense forces, other parts of the government, who are trying to think about what structure for governing will be in gaza in the future, that will be stable. i think the israelis understand they have real humanitarian crisis that is, you know, making it very difficult and the information war that is going on, quite apart from the war. so, there is thinking and discussion. but i don't see anything like a consensus yet within this government or even really, with the intense focus there in the middle of the ground phase of their combat. i do think support for the united states in particular to encourage and lead the discussion of how the world helps rebuild the lives of the palestinians in gaza, especially the -- bank to, i for many years relief palestinian state, a two state solution, is the way to security for both peoples. i feel that as much now, having seen this latest episode of war on the ground. as i ever did. but i thin
