the tradeoff. russia and united states identified couple of us where they can. profoundly but the little bit and the result was positive but we said this over reset was two thousand and eight two thousand and twelve because the two countries have to talk to each other they have things they common issues that they have to deal with i would draw a little bit of exception with what you said that there were there was no reset there was a limited reset and it was a tit for tat trade for deals and out of it the united states got russian cooperation on afghanistan. a limited form of at least dialogue on iran and north korea what the united. russia got out of this deal was the united states and the west stopped direct coverts you would call it the medic on conventional warfare as the united states military manual calls it interference in the countries of the near abroad the former soviet union that the color revolutions in georgia and ukraine which have fallen of their own accord in kurdistan as well what do you think that's a fair trade off i mean they failed a. lot mai

foreign policy in two thousand and thirteen what can we expect what about the so-called reset with the united states and will international law be even less relevant than last year. to discuss russia's foreign policy in two thousand and thirteen i'm joined by. he is the editor in chief of rushing global affairs marks about that he is a senior lecturer in research or international relations at moscow's same university and dimitri bobbitt she is a political analyst with the voice of russia radio station. in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want you don't do you think two thousand and thirteen holds for russia's foreign policy and right now it's a very turbulent time as you can remain turbulent or yes. maybe it will be even more terrible and no fortunately the syrian crisis continues and a year ago everybody predicted also to fall soon immediately and now we are what we were told he has to go right ok i find it very interesting every time someone like hillary clinton says this person must go some most of the time all the time they go eventually sooner or later we are but that can. tak

impact here but the problem is he what he could potentially try to keep united states out of another war without being able to either to offer a vision for another way to deal with this challenge the islamic republic poses a real challenge for the united states and a real challenge to israel in the region that challenges to significantly constrain both the united states and israel's preferred strategies for the region which is to project force whenever wherever and whatever degree we want unilaterally the islamic republic of iran challenges that not with tanks that they go and park their tanks in other people's countries they challenge that with their narrative they oppose that viscerally at its core chuck hagel said some very unflattering things about the israeli lobby that they're quote unquote intimidating a lot of people in washington and he also dared to say american interests should trump israeli interests if they conflict and that is a subversive thing to say here in washington could be a career killer. can you name some key points where u.s. and israeli interests conflict i t

the united states to have the saudis doing that. you know? if it wasn't for saudi arabia, al-qaeda wouldn't exist, and the taliban wouldn't exist. and yet we call iran the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. okay. so there is something that the saudis are doing here. it's a very deeply-ingrained part of their own national security strategy. but time and time again it works against american interests, and i think it's working against american interests now. and the united states, i think, by tying itself to the saudis with this aspect of their strategy, this is only going to contribute to further erosion of the american position in the region. over time. um, you know, in terms of energy i think we have been telling ourselves that because of saudi arabia, because of iraq, because of shale oil that we don't really need iran for energy purposes. and i think that's quite foolish over the long run. the reality is that as iran has been reducing domestic subsidies over the last two or three years, the saudis and other gulf arab ener

host: should the united states? default guest: absolutely not. no. the consequence of that that it, for our economy cannot be overstated. the sovereign debt of the united states, for it to be questions that we would pay our bills or not, is not a scenario that we want to go through as a country. that would really harm us. that said, as i was coming back on the train from new york, i shared this with those with me. i said you're going down this track at 130 miles an hour. what would cause the conductor, knowing that if he veers off on this next rail to the right and pulled the switch that would cause that to happen, even if he knew it would put the train at severe risk by veering off to the right, what would be the only reason a person would go off that course rather than go straight? and the reason is that there's a larger cavern, kind of a grand canyon that we are about to go off. here's what i have concluded as a businessman and a seasoned public servant. the music will stop at some point with respect to where we are. when we are pouring $1 trillion

the united states knew they were defeated. there was a a telegram from the japanese emperor asking for peace. everybody knew that they were defeated and looking for a way out. the people who knew that the best were the russians because the russians were asked to intervene on their behalf and get them better surrender terms. once the russians invaded, that undermined both their diplomatic strategy and their military strategy. that is what really ended the war. we had already been bombing japanese cities. we firebombed over 100 cities. from the japanese standpoint, a a 200 planes and 1000 bombs could not change the equation, but it was the russian invasion. >> dahlin move a huge army -- alin move the huge army towards japan. if you really are interested in ending this war and using russian troops, it was perfect. >> let's start with a quip from the series. this challenges the prevailing logic of world war ii, the so- called "good war." quakes generations of americans have been taught that the united states reluctantly dropped bom

boston built the first modern sewer system in the united states. ours was completed between 1877 and 1884. with this wonderful new sewer system, we were taking our filth and moving it out to the ocean. of course, all of this was untreated. in the 1960s, we were still pumping all of our sewage out to moon island, untreated. we would get swimmers here, never knowing, in the middle of summer, why you would have a cold. well, we were swimming in diluted sewage. melosi: the major way to deal with pollution, at least until early into the 20th century, was through the process of dilution. the assumption was that the capacity of rivers and streams, and even the seas, allowed for certain levels of pollution that eventually would purify themself. as we get later into the 20th century, it becomes clear that the volumes of waste made dilution unworkable as a single solution. and so treatment became the ways in which we deal with pollution. narrator: to protect public health, starting in the 1950s and '60s, there was a push to put in wastewater treatment plants

that was a dichotomy set up by the united states supreme court. if they are in common use like handguns we have to go to the second step of the analysis. if they are dangerous and unusual weapons like machine gun, the analysis would stop there. assault weapons are pretty commonplace. they become popular and firearms in a gun rights community. there are apparently tens of millions of these firearms out there, arguably they are commonly used, but one argument is while they are common they are not commonly used for the core purpose of the second amendment, self-defense. they are poor self-defense weapons. it is hard to maneuver in the home, and projectiles are propelled of such a rate they are likely to pose dangers and who people as they go through walls, endangering family members or neighbors. if that is right, assault weapons would not be thought to be within the scope of the second amendment, and yet i should admit we talked extensively that there are some reasonable arguments you could make against an assault weapons ban. an assault weapons ban

it was reported all over the united states. the racken sackers were taking revenge on the people of mexico for the murders of one of their own, and this was a really widely reported incident, but by no means exceptional, and, in fact, a couple weeks after this happened, another ms kier was similar perpetrated by texas. when the american people read about this behavior, it helped turn them against the war. the st. louis republican was a newspaper that when it heard about the massacre, it initially claimed that it could not be true so they denied it. they said there's rumors it's not true, but once the newspaper got verification of it, it actually wrote to all readers saying let us no longer complain about mexican bar bare disputed, poor and degraded as she is, no cruel perpetrated can excel the work of yesterday committed by our solders. finally, the fourth reason, and, perhaps, the most important reason why the antiwar movement spreads sen -- and is a force in american is basically racism. a lot of americans felt like associatio

why is that in the best interests of the united states? well, we find if there are, if there are capable security forces, it lessens the likelihood of conflict. it lessens the likelihood that there will be disputes between, between nations. and it lessens the likelihood that u.s. military activities might be required. so we think for a multiplicity of reasons, working with our african partners to increase their capability is a worthwhile endeavor. in fact, our main effort on the continent. another set of requirements that fall to us are assisting with humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. and, again, regrettably, these are circumstances which present themselves in africa, and sometimes these are of such magnitude that they exceed the capacities of host nations to contend with, and sometimes they need a little bit of help. the last priority is one that's relatively new, at least new if not in concept, new in formalized doctrine and guidance from the united states, and that's the prevention and response to mass atrocities. and, again,

[applause] the business of our nation goes forward. these unitedtates are confronted with an economic affliction of great proportions. we suffer from the longest and one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history. it distorts our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and the fixed-income elderly alike. it threatens to shatter the lives of millions of our people. idle industries have cast workers into unemployment, human misery, and personal indignity. those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity. but great as our tax burden is, it has not kept pace with public spending. for decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present. to continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social, cultural, political, and economic upheavals. you and i, as individuals, can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but

and haiti is the second oldest and united states the first.nd they've had a relationship often acrimonious. involved occupation by haiti, involved invasions by the united states in haiti. not everything the united states has done there has been good. one example is that the united states has overseen the implementation of food policy in haiti, that involves the importation of heavily subsidized american grain, especially rice, which is undercut hatian farmers and put a lot of hatian families out of business and worsened poverty there. it's not like we can just sit back and say, oh, this isn't really our problem, this is their problem, they need to fix it because we've been involved all along in good as well as in bad and it's not like we can just choose to disengage when things aren't going so well there. we've been involved, we're still involved. there isn't a choice in the matter the only question, do we want to be a force for good or be something else. >> greta: we traveled in armored cars, was that overkill or-- >> you're precious cargo, i
