because the west certainly portrays russia is some kind of threat. i would put it differently or i would say that the west has become a threat to itself. this constant confrontation with russia which began in the one nine hundred ninety s. with the end of the soviet union the kind of march toward moscow from the west beginning with nato expansion carrying on with the attempt to establish an american military outpost in the former soviet republic of georgia the building of missile defense installations along russia's borders and now the confrontation in ukraine. in my perspective that is not only highly provocative highly provocative but it is closing down opportunities that we have with russia to solve major problems affecting our own national security in syria and iran and afghanistan and the struggle against international terrorism the problem today is whether we call it a cold war or not as i said at the beginning is that in some ways it's more dangerous one reason is there is no discussion of this issue in the united states on network radio or te

just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for the water supply in west virginia last week yet another toxic spill struck the state this time over one hundred thousand gallons of coal slurry that watery byproduct of coal mining spilled into the fields into fields creek which is a tributary of charleston's canal a river of course this latest rupture comes just weeks after the january ninth chemical spill the port an estimated ten thousand gallons of a chemical called for and into the elk river contaminating the water supply for three hundred thousand west virginians now the e.p.a. is saying that west virginia residents shouldn't be worried about this latest spill as the creek was not connected to a main drinking water source nor did the coal slurry contain the dangerous age and chemical but these assurances have done little to placate the fears and worries of west virginians are now heavily reliant on the coal industry and its economic benefits well earlier today i spoke to investigative journalist carl gibson was on the ground in west virginia about the latest developments regarding bo

maryland could do everything that is reasonable but the water is coming from west virginia and if west virginia does it do it's reasonable, and the people of maryland are at risk. i think there is a proper balance on the federalism. i could not agree with you more. that is why we are reluctant to preempt local government. being debatede is today. we are reluctant because things change quickly. chemical change quickly. need to beclosest are able to respond. we are reluctant to ever take away that authority from the states. on the other hand, we do need to have national guidelines. on getting better and more specific information is an area where the government -- federal government needs to fill in the blanks. i want to get at this for one moment. we talked about the damages people are sustaining. we want to minimize the risk where you had storage facilities so close to the elk river. that should've been a red flag. knownformation was not and the response was difficult think if thist chemical did not have a smell? determinele to something was wrong. if it did not have that smell, it woul

you have them keep making unrest in ukraine destabilize the west is not. just that live in the middle east the west happy to support what we can see there surely extremist live elements amongst the opposition. i have to repeat what i've said before this from i think very much of the situation. in the early ninety's. we had several pieces. there were made that would have prevented the country from falling apart each time it was one of the western countries that actually sabotaged we had a peace agreement in lisp and brokered in one thousand nine hundred two in march and all three sides in the boston side. and the moslem on side backed by the u.s. . we had a war break out a couple of months later and the west was really happy to arm the side that caused the up and cold war so this is for me just a repeat of this entire situation unfortunately is the country for the part and ukraine i mean this is clearly that the worst bonnets we've seen there in the country so far is it out of control. ok the thing is i think the president needs to show that he's president
