oh, yeah, it's on putin's amazon wishlist, along with "not shirts" and "western ukraine." ( laughter ) in fact, the idea of leaving nato is so crazy that when trump first brought it up, senior administration officials were unsure if he were serious. yeah, maybe trump is a traitor undermining democracy, or maybe the whole thing is a bit, "how do you like my treasonous president character? i'm going for the 11:30 slot on comedy central. my catchphrase is: whatchu talkin' 'bout, mueller?" ( laughter ) can't sustain that for more than a week. then, there's big changes in store for iowa congressman and man who would like beale street better if it couldn't talk, steve king. oian here tonight. last week, i told you about steve king's interview with "the new york times" where he said; "'white nationalist,' 'white supremacist,' 'western civilization'-- how did that language become offensive?" it's one of those zen questions, like, "what is the sound of one hand slapping steve king?" king got a lot of heat for the comment, and it wasn't just because he was standing next to that cross. >> audie

western world protested. russia at least supported and i would argue actually infiltrated large numbers of security personnel into the two easternmost provinces of ukraine and the western world criticized, but at the end of the day, geography and history determined the crimea is still under russian control, north georgia still exists as an independent state and russian influence is still quite visible in donetsk and whatever the other province is called. all right. that is geographic reality. we are now in the western hemisphere. if brazil and colombia and argentina and canada and the united states take a position, those same geographic realities will, in fact, move in the other direction. of course we must listen to the russian and chinese governments. they are two of perhaps the three most important governments in the world. but we're entitled to use our brains as we calculate what they are saying and how we respond to it. >> very well stated, as always. we have 10 more minutes. i would like to take a few questions. we will make this a little interactive. mark schneider has been a major part of our venezuela effort at csi s and i will give you the fir

ukraine now speaking about the syrian talks. the western media report about it as that as sort of a possibility that may happen but many analysts in russia suggest that this has already been implemented to some extent on the ground for example. iran's role in the operation is good or earlier this year was last pronounced and usual its role in the current southern offensive and daraa is even more limited would it be fair to say that iran has already partially deliberate what the americans and to some extent the israelis are asking for or present in syria does it related to the desire of the united states and other. countries which are following the diplomacy of the united states or some regional countries which are connected with the diplomacy of states we're already in syria on the base so the invitation of legal government of syria to the current of people of syria is a poor the whole integrity owed syria. the. fighting you're helping the syrian go and if you close syria for fourteen games terrorist groups. with the help of russia and some

you with my suggestion that you go and start working there on the western side of the conflict line there it was going to all by ukraine but you can get way more information from being there rather than just reading something on line you can be coming back to the monitoring mission and to the security issues they. experienced. because of the response to the concerns voiced by germany and france we suggested the offices of the o.c. mission should be armed with light. fronts. they refused but you saying that the oil see has no experience in peacekeeping operation then president putin's with questions to those that initiated the reason lucian to create a un mission to defend to protect the lives of the ois see monitoring after says. that resolution was very simple it was based on an international agreement on the mandate. of the oil seal of the us and we were going to feel that it was for the good of the efforts. to support the misc agreements regardless of where all of the monitoring mission offices could be they should be protected defended by the un peacekeepers peacekeepers the whole notion that was in our initiative

western and eastern europe. this of course led to the crisis over ukraine and most americans believe that russia's responsible for the ukraine crisis i. don't believe that for one second. the united states and the west european allies are responsible for the crisis over ukraine because we thought, foolishly because we talking like liberals we could actually march an alliance that was a mortal enemy of the soviet union, right up to russia's doorstep and it all blew up in our face, and then the third great policy fall our is engagement with china. most of the proponent thought engaging china would turn into it dem rays and we would have love, peace and dope, as milted was a failure and we helped create a behemoth. so before i get to questioning some elements of the the tis, one reason i think why this liberal hegemony strategy might work is that it worked of world war ii and every limit think you described, remaking the world in the american image, an open economy, commitment to international institutions, was -- maybe you want to say that wasn't an era of international hedge gem my because there was bipolar situat

russia's and china's position, not only in the western hemisphere, but in the pacific where china is intimidating, coercing our allies, and also with ukrainet will strengthen their position. i think the military is is the crucible here in terms of when maduro stays or whether he goes. and clearly guaido is what he is doing in those private sessions giving them absolute guarranties, stuart, that there will be no recriminations, they will have amnesty, they will be permitted to go on and live their lives, even though they have been leaders of a repressive regime, even though they likely committed war crimes. that is the way to move these military leaders who are fundamentally corrupt. maduro's given them money to earn their loyalty to be sure. and, i am cost that the united states is also playing a role here, not publicly but privately and i'm confident that the central intelligence agency is heavily invested as well. stuart: you're the, you're the one who first mentioned i think the idea of like the philippines, marcos, eased out, bloodlessly. everything is fine. something similar could be going on in venezuela. i think you have been hintin

ukraine is a gas station. this is what he does. this is what russians send to do in their national character. liberal democracy, westernt was, dare i say, of the wall against that. this is a persistent attempt, usually persistent for trump to bring american influence -- there's a great line -- here you go, mika, when the first nato people, lord is made, for catty to -- pug is his name. barnicle knew him. i think they were in kindergarten together. >> yes. >> the point is to keep the germans down, russians out, and the americans in. right now, the germans, because we're out of that calculus, but the russians want in. >> jeremy bash also, what's so fascinating is that -- fascinating and troubling but also a very compelling argument that donald trump actually is listening to vladamir putin and doing the bidding of vladamir putin. you can look at what he said about nato that did not concern him until two years ago. you can look and see he is repeating the proch ganda vladamir putin spouts out about afghanistan. and why the soviet union went to afghanistan and they collapsed. and look at what he said about montenegro intern
