policy to get that back and finally how would you assess this reset that we've seen recently in u.s. russia relations u.s. russian relations are very interesting. it must be news people in russia. to be told that they're being threatened by missiles from iran. that absurdity is justifying the placement of miss. around russia even though obama made some spectacle of withdrawing some of these but all they were was reposition. russia has its own sphere of influence following the demise of the soviet union. i think that when great powers start doing deals together at the expense of smaller countries then we have a problem and. i mean if if if russia. there is a place in the world for a powerful nation a culturally powerful nation. a diplomatically powerful nation or a source rich nation to stand up for the rights of small nations it seems that role is almost begging russia to accept it i don't think it has accepted it but it's there.

u.s. japan south korea russia and china do not need the situation in the region to become more tense they do not want the sinking of another ship or shooting there but the committee was bias just enough to demonstrate that the north korean regime is bad and dangerous but not so biased as to lead to a war that will go to a point that they are. not sure how the. it's own investigation into the case is it going to change the situation somehow. the more thing i thought when i put it in my opinion the results one influence the situation might unfortunately are just objective way in the opinion of the u.s. europe and japan both russia and china are countries which are in a way of protecting north korea from strict sanctions so we can draw our conclusion from these results and other countries will take note of them but they won't play a big role but what can the results actually lead to even of the security council gathers again to discuss the issue they will once again accept the resolution that are no direct or unquestionable evidence of that some will consider pain and the majority of course
