senator graham won't if the u.s. won't attack syria a new hit south carolina's charleston harbor on the very same day a nuclear warhead without school throws in signature was transferred to south carolina saw its story leaked and it's joins us thanks a lot for speaking to us nuclear war this is another level senator lindsey graham is essentially threatening the united states whether he got intel on this or not from another high level source elements in the government are now threatening us that if we don't attack syria there could be a nuclear incident. right after they transported a nuclear weapon they need something crazy the chemical attack was not enough we're looking at a potential serious false flag event to push us into this because obama can't slime his way to syria there's no end game and we can't afford nor do we want a world war three. and speaking about mr president didn't you win the nobel peace prize yet you were the one they haven't back home a previously admitted syria isn't a threat or even strategica

the u.s. president wants to launch a military strike on syria but he wants to win a domestic political battle for that to happen barack obama is seeking congressional approval for the attack and congress will consider it on september the ninth washington wants to punish damascus for an alleged chemical attack but the evidence so far presented has left. us with more on this now from port not. obama said although he does believe that he has the authority to carry out a military attack without approval from congress he feels that the country would be strengthened by a public debate on the matter now the u.s. leader says that he feels absolutely comfortable carrying out a military attack against syria without the approval of the u.n. security council according to international law and a military strike taken needs approval from the security council and a resolution to be adopted but u.s. officials believe that any security draft resolution allowing for the use of force against syria would be vetoed

particularly by the u.s. and the french to build into a resolution the use of force if somehow the compliance isn't met with in the way that the u.s. or france deter. herman's we've seen that scenario before i think the russians won't allow that if there's a un resolution it should only deal at this point with what they want to do about chemical weapons and not build in a used to force that's not diplomacy that's just a trigger to foresee the way it'll work is that the un will have no force and the us congress will pass something that has force and the russians will gold and will and we and syria will go along with the un one and the and the the congressional one will just be some chest thumping. i think there's a good chance that scenario play out as well but of course let's say it again clearly without the un security council approving the use of force i don't care if our congress passes one hundred resolution saying you can bomb syria it's still flatly illegal it's a war crime it's the crime of aggression l

but part of the u.s. dollar please i beg you now finally on this story is this headline from mt weil dot com and it says james clapper is financial war on the world and they look at this the same memo that that national intelligence director released on his tumbler and they say two things first of all he mentions that with their monitoring swift so this is the n.s.a. monitoring swift that we're all financial transactions happened to their well first of all those european nations already have a deal to give that information over to the u.s. government so why is why do they need additional information it must be more than just the war on terror and financial terrorism south so the other thing that he mentions however is that he mentions the word financial weapons he uses actual words financial weapons and as it's all there people are going to use it well and he will brings up the fact that for example quantitative easing the likes of brazil have over the years called that financial war by brazil going to one

the u.s. i should say goes ahead with the intervention of plants and right now more than half of those who participated in our online poll saying a devastating region wide conflict will break out a fifth of those who vote at c.b.s. as a blueprint for what could happen next fifteen percent believe washington wouldn't hate out at sea where on its own and just a small part of you agree any strike would be short and precise to share your views with those go to r.t. dot com and cast your vote. mohsen employment tax evasion by the richest of the rachel and the eurozone heading down a dead end pundits in germany believe those are just a small part of the vital issues being scattered around during the countries during an election campaign and hopes the one and only t.v. debate would reignite critical dialogue have left us disappointed peter all of us are gto. the post is there the flesh is being pressed but this german election campaign is hardly setting pulses racing maybe that's the whole idea make a

and the u.s., sadly, even though the world is hungry for u.s. under president obama, the role the u.s. has played in negotiations has been a negative, destructive role. >> is that true? do you agree with that, the u.s. has played a destructive role? >> it certainly has put a hand brake on the negotiations. sadly, because there actually is -- >> why is that? >> double opportunity. they're blind to the double opportunity. one opportunity is for the united states to make serious investments here at home, into clean technologies, that are going to bring more jobs. here right now, the u.s. is frankly giving up jobs, very interesting jobs. to china. >> right. but we can't do that without passing through the appropriations process. >> oh, yes, we can. >> chris -- >> i would like you to respond. those are strong words about the u.s. role in this. >> chris, i mean, let's be frank about this. what you've had here, you've had the president and some members of congress trying to move forward with this issue. you have an agreement of the united states that c
