discuss bilaterally with turkey and russia and germany should use its position in the united nations security council to gain widespread international support and it's not going to. gather we should decide whether to appoint a special envoy and i believe that would be a strong political and diplomatic response from europeans a nato. diplomat to shun toward. in the not the if you buy back of beyond diplomacy would we see german troops on the ground or is what you seek a u.n. mandate unlikely as the series with russia. time it got out of a big awful stand. first of all the security zone would have to be under international control. where the fight against isis is concerned the military capabilities would play a role. in my view it is essential that we include turkey in the discussions because turkey undeniably has its own security interests. but russia has to be included to russia is one of the most important players in syria whether you like that or not that is a fact that we have to deal with to start. i believe that discussions are absolutely. every believed by the united nations but also through bi

new rules from the jcpoa endorsed by the united nations security council resolution 2231 is widely remembered. did not just repudiate these obligations in this regulation, but started demanding others to play by american rules and sabotage its implementation. the u.s. has set a hard-line towards eroding u.n. resolutions on the international and legal framework of the middle east peace process. it suggests waiting for a deal of the century. meanwhile, it's taking unilateral decisions on jerusalem and the golan heights. the two states approved -- solution to the palestinian history, which is essential for providing security for israel and the whole region is in when natoarently, members were bombing libya, blatantly violating united security council resolutions, they were also guided by the logic of the rules based order. it resulted in the destruction of libyan statehood. the international community is still untangling the disasters -- disastrous repercussions of nato's adventure with african countries affected the most. there is still a hidden agenda despite therism, universally binding secur

i think turkish diplomacy did not expect that the five eu member states at the united nations security council or so for them to criticize this military operation, and that the statement of the eu foreign minister's council this morning was also very harsh, to criticize the military operation. he didn't feel this, and he doesn't like the wording of "invasion." in his narrative, it is a military defend operation and not an invasion. brent: we talked about this last night, but if you talk about the definition of invasion, he did cross the border into another country yesterday. the kurds in northern syria, have they posed a security threat to the border integrity of turkey recently? christian: it is a very risky military operation. first,t, we just don't know how far this military operation would go -- 5, 10, 30 kilometers into northern syria, on all the 500 kilometers border with syria or not we just don't know. what would be the reaction of the kurdish militias? will there be a lot t of militay confrontation? how many internal displaced people to we have to take care of? what happens to the 10,

in fact, this administration sided with russia and opposed a resolution at the united nations security councilndemning turkey's actions. so congress is going to first call upon the president to do the right thing. but since we can't count on that, we will have this bipartisan legislation that will impose very stiff sanctions on turkey until they stop their aggression and withdraw their forces. chris: now, treasury secretary mnuchin on friday said that president trump had authorized him -- not that he had imposed, but authorized him at some point to impose tough sanctions on, against turkey. here the secretary of the treasury. >> these are very powerful sanctions. we hope we don't have to use them, but we can shut down the turkish economy if we need to. chris: so i guess the question is when are they going to do that? >> for god sakes, what are they waiting for, right? people are being killed right now. our syrian kurdish allies are being killed right now. it looks like many of the isis detainees, there are about 10,000 fighters, are now possibly going to be able to escape. there are reports th
