but the united states never complains about them. they're not designated by the united states. they support terrorism not a single one of them is designated. they are sending terrorists to your territory in 9/11. >> rose: there were saudis but no one has proven they were sent by the saudi government. >> has anyone proven anything by the iranians -- did you not -- >> rose: wait a minute -- >> did you know that a court in new york condemned iran for participating in 9/11. find us $11 billion for participating in 9/11. come on. a court in new york. go read the court documents. a court in new york awardrd $11 billion to the victims of 9/11 against iraq. are you telling me nobody has proven saudi arabia was behind it. let me tell you something at that time you're familiar with. president trump band citizens of six countries from coming to the united states and included iraq. now iranians in the united states are outstanding citizens. >> rose: they are. >> they are outstanding members of their own community. >> they were. >> good scientists. silicon valley may be not prosperous if it

well the united states have to go back to why the united states wants to be in asia at all ok why does the united states intervene ten thousand miles from a chore and to answer that question you have to go back to the open door policy sounds boring but the bedrock foreign policy of the united states is the open door policy and when china closed the door after world war two initially the united states wanted to set up a client regime in china but that failed the communists took over and closed the open door and so the united states decided that career would be its first bastin against the encroachment of china and the closing of asia to american economic penetration ok but i mean let's talk about this the in this new killer thread i mean why don't they want to talk about that that's very important and that's pressing right now can you answer that boris go ahead home well you know the the real the real threat for the united states from the beginning was always china and you know we talk about one hundred sixty thousand troops stationed across the. western pacific but there are also nucle

voter suppression is a hallmark of the united states in 2014. i daresay one of the top items on the agenda of this incoming republican congress will be ever more devious and devilish ways to circumscribe the right to vote. so, it is much too easy to suggest that the so-called bourgeois democratic rights made the atrocities worthwhile. that is a callous argument. it is not the argument they would make to the socialist camp. they say it was a disaster. if you argue otherwise, you are callous and maybe even lose your job. that is the argument used in regards to rationalizing what happened on these shores. another point, if it was such a step forward why is it that , canada, that did not revolt against british rule, has a better standard of living and is a more suitable place to live, particularly for working class people. they have the single-payer health-care system, which i keep hearing it is the health care system that we should have in the united states. you may have heard two days after the election of tuesday, the supreme court has reached ou

during the war, the united that once thelied war was over, the united states would support economic diversification and economic growth in latin america through economic aid. in particular, an economic conference was promised. there would be a little conference, the oas, a military conference, the rio treaty, but an economic conference that would form an inter-american economic alliance. at that conference, latin americans hope to discuss commodity price stabilization, economic diversification, controls of foreign investment and a substantial economic aid. indeed, to put words in the mouth, what they were thinking about was a marshall plan for latin america. assertionuman ameren -- truman administration postponed the conference. every year, there was a different excuse or what they could not have it. the united states had new challenges. the soviet union's domination of eastern europe. the greek civil war. the stagnation of western european economies and the collapse of chinese national forces. by comparison, the assessment of was that let america was largely immune to soviet aggression. ambassador

russia and the united states and here it is the united states that has walked out of it for some unknown reasons they have to come back and explain the situation in afghanistan turn a wristwatch when truong i don't want to get us on to become an area of competition and rivalry well i want afghanistan to become a place of cooperation i appreciate very much your aspirations but you know again better than i do that competition is a ruling the day in international side only yes it shouldn't be bad though why would the afghanistan of all the other war torn countries be an exception it should be an exception because if they don't call parades afghans will rise against those who have the key to the students in afghanistan today it is the united states they just bombed us with the biggest of the bomb that they had short of a nuclear bomb a country that they call allies and would one expect me to give quite. well at least they would say that they they have the green light from the from your successor as afghanistan's wrong and wrong no they didn't even from the off going to go well at least this

huge win for the united nations. it was not a good day for north korea. basically what you saw was all the countries come together and say this has got to stop. this is not something that we think can be reckless and casually dealt with that's what he has done. i think we hit him and hit him hard. brian: did something happen? did they do something that even pressed the buttons of russia and china that made it easier for you to convince them to go along with this? >> no. it was really me saying how many more icbm tests do we need to have before we do something? steve: good. >> at what point are we going to show action? really that goes back to what we tried to do at the united nations which is stop talking about it let's get something done. and so last monday i basically told security council we talked enough. it's time to get this done. and, look, china and russia were not the easiest but at the end of the day they came through and that's all that matters. ainsley: good for you. 15-0. that's awesome. tell us about wh

we do not have a unit, a military unit there, something that there's a military vacuum.so we wanted to plug that in militarily. so having that unit, that really translates to deterrence. not only to protect one specific island, but overall there should be sort of like a zone defense type of okinawa islands and also multiple islands defense by placing a unit. >> so we're getting to the end of this seminar. i wanted to ask admiral blair in the few minutes we have to explain some of the thinking about the china question. we spent a lot of time on immediate military threat, appropriately, north korea. editing before the end we should hear from one of the panelists, i'd like to ask admiral blair. some crystallization of what the views were on the longer term, bigger challenge we are doing. >> i just sat in on our discussion with china, i think you'd be a bit surprised if we did not spent most of our time talking about carrier battle groups and putting coast guard units moving forward in the south china sea. we felt that the military posture of the alliance was sufficient to m

we disagree with the united states.gainst thetervene united states cooperating with the iraqi government. we believe that is a decision the iraqi government should make. we may oppose it, but it is their decision. charlie: would you encourage the government of iraq to make sure sunniunni members of the out fromnot get shut government so they do not see what we have seen time after time? first al qaeda and that isis. >> exactly. we believe the iraqi government should be inclusive. charlie: encourage the iraqi government to do that. guest: we have done that. we have done it. charlie: the government did not do it, a strong friend of iran. guest: the prime minister is a strong friend of iraq. ,very government in iraq thankfully, has been a strong friend of iraq, and this is our advice on them. iraq needs to be an inclusive government with all segments of the iraqi population represented in the government. hereon maintains extremely -- relationsains good with the sunni community. parliamentr of the -- charlie: you do not den

he allowed him into the unit. when all was said and done ames would become a lieutenant under mosby and one of the most trusted, liked, respected in the command, liked, respected, trusted by the other rangers. a great deal is made of mosby not accepting desserters but in the case of richard paul montjoy, there's no question he was a desserter from a mississippi unit. mosby saw something in him and he came into the unit. he came in as a private and he had risen to the rank of captain and company commander under mosby before he was killed. stewart told mosby he would have elections. mosby did have elections. he did it his way. when he knew a new company was to be formed, beginning with company a, he would begin to watch the men that would be in that unit and start to figure out who was intelligent, who was trusted by the other men, who was respected by the other men, who was brave and who understood how mosby wanted to fight. he would write down their names and call them in. as soon as the floor is open, mosby would

it should be the united states. you can talk to north korea and say we not going to these negotiations -- in washingtonency and in think tanks to negotiate north korea policy side. they will have a list of demands for us and we have to decide if we are ready to meet. i thought it was curious they did not have that either especially after trump-pence that i would be willing to meet with the leader of north korea face to face. everyone thought that was a bit over-the-top. curious they do not take advantage of a low-level meeting. i think congress can play a useful role and is playing a greater role in foreign policy. it is particularly a good comment by john mccain, a hawk and well-established. basically said the president should not have said what he said. the president basically implied we will use nuclear weapons and threaten a country with nuclear weapons here we have not heard that in a long time if ever we have heard it before. behink john f. kennedy may with the cuban missile crisis, but that is ill advised, to

by the united states of america. so we're gathered here in this library, the many accomplishments of president richard nixon was the establishment of the all-volunteer army and the all-volunteer force. i graduated from west point in 1978 and the army that i entered was broken. and president nixon knew this. and the move toward the all-volunteer force was a brilliant move and president nixon, he lived long enough to see how magnificent our armed forces became. but now i worry that far removed from this all-volunteer force creation in 1972 and 1973, we've had several changes, generations in the united states since that era and i worry about the disconnection of our armed forces with the american people. so to ask you the question, had we had a conscript force a draft force, would we have gone into iraq in 2003? and i think a case could be made, maybe not. because a lot of mothers and fathers would have been calling up their congressmen asking, what is this about? certainly i know that 10 years after 9/11, we would not

the harm that puerto rico's problematic status as a colony of the united states could cause in the united states competition -- confrontation with the soviet union was demonstrated on november 1, 1970. truman is living in blair house, white house is being renovated, and the early afternoon, to puerto rican extremists come from different directions, they come together on blair house and opened fire on the white house police. the white house police fireback. three of the police are down. one of the puerto rico the kill. truman rushes to an upstairs window and looks out and says, "what is going on out there?" the white house police say, get back inside the building, what are you doing? the week later, there was a funeral for the white house policeman who was killed in a shootout. truman fought back tears as he said to others at the funeral, "you cannot understand how a man feels when somebody else dies for him." two days prior to the assassination attempt on truman's life, nationalism puerto rico had attended to kill the governor, and armed protest led by nationalist broke out throughout the

along the united states, the united kingdom and ukraine. that provided ukraine with assurances that all parties would respect its independence, sovereignty and existing borders. in that memorandum, russia also promised to refrain from the threat or use of force in exchange for the ukraine's relinquishment of nuclear weapons. once again, under the 1997 nato russia founding act, russia agreed to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other or any other state in sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence. each other or any other state in sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence. unfortunately, russia is not adhering to the letter, much less the spirit of these international commitments. the u.s. and our allies will continue to press russia to honor its minsk commitments and our sanctions will remain in place until moscow reverses the actions that triggered them. as president trump has made clear, the united states remains committed to diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in eastern ukra

states our defense defend russia in a different united states because. every post. conflicts should be defeated well it's interesting you say that because it leads me to my last question i know that in your previous capacity you had to do a lot with warring parties and the mediation you participated in trying to find a solution to the sri lankan conflict then i'm sure you would agree with me that the mediation is a very challenging and often very ungrateful process how do you see yourself in this new overall of the un executive general are you more of a mediator or are you perhaps just an administrator or responsible for implementing something that has already been agreed upon i think both i mean we. just launched a campaign called clean seas to. norma's presti pollution which are destroying our oceans but also being a mediator and if they. are learning from our maybe ten years trying to. succeed. most of the many other people killed how big. those will. listen to the u.s. when they go there. so essentially what you're saying here is that even if you had

what did it get the united states? >> well, it really is a diplomatic coup in that the united states was able first of all to get china to go along with the u.s. in drafting these sanctions and then to get a unanimous security council approval. that is definitely a diplomatic slap on the wrist or maybe more to north korea from its closest ally china. and a number of other countries that don't always go along with what the u.s. wants them do at the u.n. so on that side, it's a win. the practical effect is very much still tbd including whether china enforces it and of course in light of the rapid advances on north korean nuclear weapons capabilities, a lot of this really may just be too late. >> has the per spepgs gloceptio changed? >> i would say yes very much. for a long time north korea was more of an annoyance than a real threat to almost every other country except south korea. certainly they have been a real threat to south korea, japan, u.s. ships at sea. and a number of other entities in the region. but less of a

in the united states or m i five in the united kingdom the internal intelligence service he said that russia has the potential to carry out sophisticated hacks that hell every day and went on to say that there's absolutely no evidence to suggest that this is in the pipeline at all that it's set to happen which leaves many questioning why he decided to give that interview in the first place but the situation we have at the moment is that with angela merkel so far out in front in the polls it does look like this is a german election whereby the interests of voters may take something of a back seat as the focus turns inwards towards what type of governments angle or merkel will be able to form a what. of coalition she will hope for when she ultimately returns as the german chancellor. not being a top diplomat can mean your every word being scrutinized and i lack of care has landed germany's foreign minister in or qward situation online. u.s. defense giants lockheed martin on ray fiennes seeing a huge surge in sales they've both been awarded nine hundred million dollar contracts by the pe

this is how the united states government operates. and we know this because of declassified defense intelligence agency reports. so not only are we hypocritical, but also bipolar in many ways. because we think we can not just be two-faced, but we think we can also manage certain situations in a way that just defies reality. so, and of course, coming back to it all, it is the very people who live in these places, who are being burned to death and ripped apart. and i think it is easy for us to forget that. as we talk about this as i stand here in my suit and tie, and drink my cup of coffee, that as we speak about this, american bombs are ripping apart men, women, and children as we speak. it is not abstract at all. >> one thing i forgot to meantion -- oh, i'm sorry. a number of people mentioned reliance on airstrikes as a big part of u.s. strategy. would that undermine humanitarian pretext argument, as well? >> absolutely. the other thing, too, i recall there being a report that was released by the united nations last fall. and i was re

states are either allies of the united states were close partners and friends of the united states. second point on the economy, theerine had led with that, united states and china together, we are 40% of the world's gdp right now and if you look at global trade and investment, although the chinese are moving ahead in trade, between the two of us, still pretty dominant. russia is number eight in the world in its gdp. during the cold war, we concentrated on military and , like the soviet union, it is playing a week economic hand. eak economic hand. the third point would be on soft power to bring to bear. states, still today with all our difficulties, still is pretty inspirational. there is no inspirational chinese model. some talk about a development model. no one embraces a chinese political model. the same is true for russia. at times, especially as we have difficulties at this moment in our history, we contend to start to take stock of our fears and not recognize, still today, how .trong that soft power is if the united states still wants to show the leadership to continue to try

i would agree that the united states cannot really just let it go. if we got to the point where they carry that out. -- where they carried that out. from the north korean 1's, whiche, the b- overup and make dry runs the southern half of the peninsula that they claim is still their territory, theoretically -- this is hostile. we call it a deterrent. they consider it provocation. essentially, we are both right. if they go through with this, they are stepping it up significantly. the united states would have to figure out a way to respond in kind. i would argue in the most restrained and yet still strong way possible. i do not think we want to get to that point, though. let's say we fire a couple of coast of thethe north korean, essentially do the same thing of and then pulling -- of enveloping fire. both sides can pretend we are not at war yet, but where do we go from there? i think we want to head this off. not get to the point where they go through with the bomb plan -- and move on with a kind of diplomacy that i am happy to hear patrick cronin is sa

i think it would be best for the united states, because if the united states would look at its achievements- quote unquote -- in our region, and see what it has achieved. it has made all of the wrong choices. its allies are accusing each other of supporting terrorism. i believe the united states needs to take a fresh look at the situation in our region and see how it is dealing with important issues of stability and security in our region. and decide for itself where it wants to stand. charlie: but as you know, at the conference in riyadh, the saudi -- the summit in riyadh, saudi arabia and some of the arab state allies asked the united states to join them in isolating iran. so they believe you are engaged in these activities that the united states suggests you are. javad sharif: i just want to ask you who was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks? charlie: who do you think was behind it gekko was this individuals or an attack by the state of saudi arabia? javad sharif: we know the individuals came from saudi arabia, 15 of them. we also know the ideology came from saudi arabia. if you just chec

these were used to identify the units and to create a feeling of belonging to a particular unit. our visitors are fascinated with the shoulder sleeve insignia but they were not really worn until after the war. any time you see insignia on the uniform, they are post armistice of 1918. these were developed by the units and by the american expeditionary forces to represent the great variety of americans that served in the war. about 4,800,000 americans were in uniform by the end of the war in june of 1919. to illustrate the variety of insignia that were worn on the american uniform, we have moved over to the 1917 u.s. service coats that were warned by the majority of the soldiers in the army. one of the insignia is the standing buffalo. this is very important, this was worn by the african-american soldiers of the 92nd division. there were two african-american divisions in the war, 92nd and 93rd, both of them were segregated from the rest of the army. most of the soldiers, of course, enlisted soldiers were african-american and most of the officers were caucasian. even though they fou

of the united kingdom. >> thank you, mr. president. north korea is no longer a threat faced by a single country or region. it is instead a threat that confronts us all. these two tests in the last month were of an intercontinental missile, extending the threat much further than before, too many more countries. in a world where the north korean missile tests seem routine, let me be clear. this is not business as usual. mistake, as north korea's missile capabilities advance, so too does their contempt and disregard for the security council. we must meet this belligerence with clear, unequivocal condemnation, and with clear, unequivocal consequences. president, we have band north korean exports of coal, iron ore, lead, and seafood. these are the lifeline exports that sustain the deadly aspirations. in simple terms, should the north korean regime continue its reckless pursuit of an illegal missile program and deadly nuclear program, they will have vastly less resources to do so. we have also capped the number of foreign workers

so grave concern in the united states and the response from mrtrump who is united states and the responseying that if they've continued to threaten the united states, the united states will respond with fire and fury such as the world has never seen. even for him, that is terrifying language. it does sound like that, but we have got used to it and the almost immune to his outburst. the american military have made a huge plate of making sure they are on the border of south korea. they have let the media in and done a lot of training and showed the cameras that they are ready. that is difficult —— different to the range of some of these weapons. and i was reading something a few minutes before we came on which it said that the american system of defence against these bonds is not as smart as it might be. it strikes me that donald trump is so often using language that could send shivers but also a sense of history seems to get forgotten. what does he mean "as the world has never seen"? we have seen terrible things at the end of the first world —— second world war, and it seemed to me that he

states our defense defend russia here are different united states because. every politician who tried to incite conflicts should be defeated well it's interesting you say that because it leads me to my last question i know that in your previous capacity you had to do a lot with the warring parties and the mediation you participated in trying to find a solution to the sri lankan conflict and i'm sure you would agree with me that the mediation is a very challenging and often very. process how do you see yourself in this new overall of the executive general are you more of a mediator or are you perhaps just an administrator or responsible for implementing something that has already been agreed upon i think both i mean in their campaign for instance or just launched a campaign called clean seas to pick up all the norms prestige pollutions which are destroying our oceans but also being a mediator and if there was. maybe ten years trying to. succeed. most of the many other people around you killed those big. just role models. very very good advice to global poster
