and they're getting totally obliterated by the much better trained much better equipped still syrian arab army and their allies so it was simply a logistical logical decision the made the kurdish fighters that america is now backing one hundred percent are simply more organized a fighting force however credit where it is do you mention the kurds or demilitarize tell you just as a quick. go ahead real quick i'm going to go just credit where it's due to drum because i don't want to make it seem to move this is what i've called many times the most clear cut battle between good and evil since the great power trio to war and donald trump does deserve some measure of credit for withdrawing america's might. to fund being a he has an evil jihad al qaeda but it hasn't done that completely the us military is still there it's not good the turkish bangle i mean turkey a member of nato divulge the location of american military bases in syria not a nice thing to do but what's happening here is that the americans now are calm between the kurds and turkey ok so there's another problem we have to resolve here

moving its border with lebanon and right now in the syrian arab army or engage in ferocious fighting in the winning it against remnants of al qaida the west is leaving the doors wide open i know this is wide open because they've got more important things to do which is have the drive around in their tanks and post them waiting for the big invisible russian invasion that's never going to happen where they should be patrolling the world you're you're you're singing to the choir here . i think it's an interesting situation going back to the middle east but the aggressor have lost i mean the united states is nor want to use an entirely base they had to pull out of turkey. the european forces are not using interleague base neither. basically when a bomber started the campaign of drawn killings in yemen look the result there is alters that yemen is no more dangerous to americans then that they are the point in its history who war on iran russia who were not very active in the beginning what did abort all the later when you're invited vision actually and when ziad and legally when dividing

uniform section of the pentagon also disagreed with this ceasefire what did they do they bombed syrian arab army fixed positions in other words not fluid it wasn't coming back and forth battling a islamic state battling the islamic state and they killed sixty two as soldiers and then the syrian government said guess what this this agreement is over because the united states is not an honest player here so the question is now ten months later trump and his secretary of state tillerson taking the place of kerry have said yes let's start the process again with a cease fire in the southwest part of syria it seems to be holding but what will the pentagon do does try at this point in tillerson represent the dominant view of the consensus view within the pentagon that's what we have to wait and see a major problem i can foresee brian is that while trump entail or it's the end it's clear seem to favor diplomacy. with respect to the middle east and russia. in the middle east and especially in syria trump has left the chessboard in the hands of the military and they've been escalating hostilities with syr

to anything getting totally obliterated by the much better trained much better equipped still syrian arab army and their allies so it was simply a logistical logical decision the made the kurdish fighters that america is now backing one hundred percent are simply more organized. however credit where it is due you mentioned the kurds are demilitarized just to say go ahead real quick. you know just credit where it's due to drug.

harsh criticisms from russia you saw just recently america shot down a jet a fighter jet of the syrian arab army air force and that was of course resoundingly by russia so they're reading from the same page but possibly in a slightly different dialect just another aspect of the of what we're seeing at the actual summit violent protests against the g. twenty how much do you think that the crowds concern both peaceful and otherwise we're listening to by the leaders just briefly if you can. well when people also responsible as to burn cause vandalize property put lives in danger set fire to a peaceful city then frankly they actually have quite a lot in common with many of the leaders of the g. twenty china and russia being two major exceptions to the rule the countries like the united states and its european allies they've been setting the middle east on fire for twenty years so the difference is between the the mad protesters and some of the mad policy makers inside the g twenty it's rather a difference of scale i should think political analyst album gary thank you as always for coming on the show

external support for the rebels or whatever you want to call them a sob power has grown and the syrian arab army has been able to do bore to devote more of its resources to fighting against the bhaumik state then for coupled with the u.s. led coalition against islamic states russian air power including over the past couple days of militia groups the grell and kurdish warriors all together are more able to focus their attention not against the salafi as rubble but more precisely against islamic state and so that's why we're seeing progress in syria and that's why we're seeing the return of the refugees the first round of syrian peace talks began and i stand at this week d.c. any hope for a seriously escalation plan at this point and if not a wife obstructing parties from reaching an agreement at this point. sure i mean i do see a lot of progress against islamic state but that's really outside of the negotiation islamic studies in the uk by the lead faction are not invited to the negotiations in terms of the direct negotiations between the rebels and the government and i don't expect to see a whol
