u. s. was involved in that the international criminal court would like to pursue, but i can't because of us fresh air. and the corruption that is talked about is always talked about on the kind of the afghans but not the u. s. companies and the weapons companies that made hundreds of billions of dollars from this disastrous fiasco. and the most scenario like blackboard or the interrogators like tight and the i'm believable, we're profit sharing that wind. i'm for 20 years. yeah. we didn't hear about all the civilian guests. we didn't hear about any of the things that the american people deserve to know or right. the generals year after year were telling us that victory was just around the corner. so yes, as far as i'm concerned, i didn't scraps. you scratch the surface of what we needed to hear and we still, i deserve to know. you know, david, the, the way i look at this 20 year old fiasco deadly and very expensive. it was just a griff, there was a business model and everybody made out except f

u. s. was going to do in iraq in front of u. n. and by doing so, he really made the situation quite worse because he was reading a speech where he, he mentions a caare 21 times in this speech. this was someone who wasn't about well known and then suddenly became much more well known of eventually leading to all kate in iraq . so the speech and did a lot of harm. and also of course, the invasion of iraq did a lot of harmony. there was much feeling that how who some least trusted so much had betrayed many people because all the information he had given or at least some of it turned out to not be true. natasha, stay there for me if you would and hate listening as well. cuz i've got another guest i want to bring in and get some thoughts are this is lawrence called joining us foreign, a former assistant secretary of defense who worked with colin powell also senior fellow at the center for american progress on scott from washington d. c. thank you for your time as to cobra and condolences as well. i'm sure you could hear what natasha and

all alone julian assange had said that he was acting as a journalist, publishing information, which is in the public interest about crimes committed by the u. s. military. that's what it boils down to for him. groups like amnesty international and reporters without borders, say that they agree that he is being singled out because he was publishing information which the u. s. government did not want to be published. reporters without borders. say that he does not have the enjoy the protection under the 1st amendment to journalistic free speech. and they say that the u. s. is actually made clear that because he's not a us citizen, he wouldn't get that. and also the espionage charges do not have a public interest defense. so they're very worried about the precedence this could set for journalists in future. and i think also the fact that i'm in recent months, it's been reported that the cia disgust kidnapping, or assassinating him when he was in the ecuadorian embassy. that's worrying in terms of the motivation of u. s. government, but also adds weight to his legal team's arguments. that his mental health would actually be severely or rather, hi

richard grinnell worked for me in new york and he was the spokesperson for the u. s. mission to you. and when i was un ambassador, will you ever privy to this thing? about grinnell and trump organizing in assange pardon deal if he revealed his sources as news to me? well, i have to go to the actual bombing of syria that you are a national security advisor at the time. and some might say that also emboldened, i says, i'll kinder in syria because you a defacto defending isis elk. i do in syria. what did you, what do you, how do you look up on that to attack on syria or in 2018? we certainly weren't defending isis or, or anyone else way would have seen it. well, they would be wrong to see it that way. what happened was the syrian government used chemical weapons, probably chlorine based against civilian targets in and around damascus almost exactly one year earlier in april 2017. the syrian government done, same thing us had responded militarily and clearly aside, had not been deterred from engaging in that kind of conduct again. so this was actually started my 1st day

and since at least 2 was 9 say, say i radically trump believe dana to, i think it's a mistake for the u. s. i think it's a mistake for well, still a certainly it's a mistake for the people of afghanistan. well in fact, as trumps, feel the date of a withdrawal was may the 1st you don't think that makes any difference. now look, i think all by and did was extended a couple months and it showed how, how little planning had been done, either by the trump administration or by for the execution to withdraw itself. and i should note my own polling on this subject. i think of firms what other people have observed that while at the beginning, many people said the withdrawal itself was executed poorly and no question about that. but it's caused them to rethink the consequences. the withdrawal itself, the return of taliban to power, the greater risk of terrorist attack, obviously calls into question the legitimacy of the withdrawal of decision. fundamentally, i think people now realize we are less secure after the withdrawal than we were before the withdrawal. you said that biden changed in that answ

was part of the complex a dealing with in the trump administration to maintain stability, which was n, u. s interests rather than withdraw and see or return either to terrorist control or iranian back control. yeah, you didn't mention, you mentioned the regional allies. they didn't mention russian troops. you don't think it was compelling when mad. dog, mathis from the pentagon, said, if that missile strike could killed russian soldiers, it would have been war with moscow. i don't know when, when mad is said that, but i can do this if it's in the he, it's in the context of that that the joint chiefs of staff chairman joe dunford, called his russian counterpart shortly before the strike and syria, as he had done the year before, to, to say, look, you see what's happened here with chemical weapons attacked by the assad government and just want you to know that we're not going to sit idly by so, you know, you need to look out for your russian forces. we understood fully and i think that's what madison sang, that if we were not careful that there might be a collateral damage, which we didn't wa

u. s. was never able to legitimize their proxy government in the eyes of the population that was very keeping. and at the fundamentally, that is the reason why they decided to be ok, because there was nothing you could do to legitimize that government was just corrupt to the core. keep going in days, i mean we have a look at the casualties which the american and british military's incurred spanish song, but loss is almost negligible. so that is why it comes back to my assertion which i have been putting out for some months now that the americans and the british had no reason to leave an immense strategic value to buy washington and london as it was to the british empire in the 19th in the 19th century. so that is why i believe we see through the taliban americans in the british, russian national security fruit, central asia, because of central asia. is russia also to speak to the taliban? the americans in the british. we'll continue to try the stabilize shine, which is of course, a restless mus

u. s. was actually facing a significant rise in ransomware attacks. now that's when criminal hackers attack companies, they steal their data and they ran from it back to them. the binded ministration claims that although the cyber attacks were not state sponsored by russia and the majority of them were coming out of the country. so let's take a listen to what he said. i made it very clear to him that the united states expects when a ransomware operation is coming from his soil, even though it's not sponsored by the state. we expect them to act if we give them enough information to act on who that is. the thing is though, the kremlin says it wasn't even made aware of these attackers, and after it found out it re, russia was reached out to the united states for a kind of joint clamped down on cyber crimes around the world. and afterwards, they apparently didn't even receive a response. so for the united states, for washington to think that it's going to going to accomplish much at this international cyber cybersecurity convention without inviting the ma

u. s. was completing its withdrawal. 10 people, i think children that attack mistakenly it would seem in the end and the pentagon is not talking about payouts for the victims. that's a tragic mistake. this said come cold. it had meant 10 people killed her. you mentioned some 7 of those children, the u. s. saying initially they believed a car that they had followed this was in the days following that devastating suicide attack on cobble la airport. as people thousands of people were trying to get out of the country as the taliban took over the u. s. assuming that this car was part of an eyesore sal and i still operative. it wasn't, it appear to be a man who worked for us aid agency living with his extended family when he came home later in the afternoon in that vehicle it was targeted and that ended in the killing of 10 men of him and 9 other members of his extended families are now you have the, the, the american saying that they're going to pay compensation. and the specifics of that haven't r

was on the issue of climate tend. and you, with reference to your question about the u. s. president then pivoting and blaming other nations for the reason that some of what was hoped to be accomplished here did not in fact pointing the finger at the fact that russian leader was not here. the chinese leader was not here, and also saudi arabia also blaming them for some of the high energy prices that were see right now that they are not put in place the production that's necessary to bring those costs down. so while the u. s. president made the case that he is that the leaders here in rome saw how his leadership and, and that there were much that was accomplished at the same time. when you drill down, there are some serious issues and the u. s. president does not take responsibility for that, but instead deflected another point that we should mention is the u. s. president. out of the success of the global corporate minimum tack. saying that this will allow for a more equitable distribution of wealth that we have not seen currently with many corporations going off shore to

u. s. was along opposed to the $11000000000.00 project, but gave its approval last july. if there's a solution to rising gas prices or a powerful instrument that will make you more depended from russia, german politicians, i do find it on northridge too. and while the gods can start flowing here from the baltic sea, but legal hurdles still ahead, it is unlikely that these pipes will bring energy prices down anytime soon. the german energy regulator has said that nor trim to should not break your competition rules by limiting suppliers. the regulator has until early january to make a decision that will be sent to europe and commission for review. energy experts expect that it will take several month until gas from northridge to can flow into western europe. and even then it won't be enough to push prices down significantly . i think that additional measure would be an increase in green energy investment policy. one government on the production of getting hydrogen. this is already a topic of state of discussions within the deadman government. and i said that i suffered that

u. s. was unhappy with the increased tension in the taiwan strait in terms of other meetings. very soon we're going to have a meeting between president biden present, one of turkey and again, a u. s. government official saying that the plan for this meeting is to avoid crises between the 2 countries in the future. and that may well be a reference to what we saw earlier this month when the turkish president decided to make 10 ambassadors persona non grata, including the us ambassador. so the meeting, i think it's trying to improve relations between those 2 countries and one other difficult relationship right now the u. k. and france post breakfast rouse over fishing writes, we believe is going to be a short pl aside meeting between the british prime minister and the french president to try and perhaps ease that tension to okay, thank you so much. james bass, diplomatic editor, reporting from rome. now the united states and the european union have agreed to ease terrorists on steel and alimony and import us. the u. s. will now allow certain metals from the you to enter a duty fre

it was a direct attack on the u. s. policy towards haiti. he basically was saying that the u. s. must do much better at must at the help haiti a lot more and was talking about things like a equipping the security forces in haiti. something has been tried before, but it really was something that was scathing, but not something i don't think that will likely change the bi demonstrations policy towards haiti. and on that is the u. s. still defaulting haitians. essentially it's slow down a great deal because the traffic at the border is also slowed down. at one point, there were about 7 flights a day, forcibly repatriated haitians back to haiti that's gone down to about war. there were some concerns from republicans here that they, these haitians were being released into the u. s. that is not the case. there was something like $15000.00 asians at that border crossing. most of those have now been sent back to haiti and remember, this is a place where there really isn't a functioning government. there really isn't a functioning legislator. and of course, biden administration's big pushe
