Dont get me wrong, we have concerns about the syrian partners and relationship with the pkk, the turkish terrorists that we have declared a terrorist and helped fight in variety of ways and a buffer zone established and built over time, if you will, in recognizance and patrols and there is a commanding control structure to coordinate what is going on. but this has been done in a such a sudden nature that again we are literally pulling out of our base and trying to get out of them everything that...

Ethnic cleansing. dont get me wrong, we have concerns about the syrian partners and relationship with the pkk, the turkish terrorists that we have declared a terrorist and helped fight in variety of ways and a buffer zone established and built over time, if you will, in recognizance and patrols and there is a commanding control structure to coordinate what is going on. but this has been done in a such a sudden nature that again we are literally pulling out of our base and trying to get out of th...

Atrocities. another reason why this is a real strategic debacle is that in 48 hours, the cease-fire ends, but also in 48 hours, president erdogan will be meeting with president putin in sochi. that is where the fate of the kurds, particularly in these areas like kaboni and others, which are majority kurd, there are other areas in the strip that are majority christian. and the fate of those areas, unfortunately, as we are evacuating our bases and ceding all of our influence, will be decided by pr...

Leland: already theres reports of the american forces bombing their own bases in a -- >> right. leland: doubtful they are going back to those. >> right. leland: appreciate it, michael. >> thanks for having me. molly: opening arguments this weekend in the first federal trial of the opioid epidemic. a big one to watch as monday looms. more details coming up.

Political parties against the bases of both parties. nobody should want the president of the united states leveraging hundreds of millions of dollars of our money for his own political campaign whether its obama or trump. it wasnt an isolated comment on camera. it was reflected in what the president said to the ukraine president himself and what giuliani has said on tv himself. we have one, two, three, probably more punches here. people dont like being lied to. you cant etch-a-sketch incriminati...

A nato ally. arthel: what happens to the kurds, who did most of the fighting in the u.s. led fight against isis in. >> well, what happens to them now is theyre engaged in a fight for self preservation. theyre not engaged with defeating isis, theyre not engaged with securing prisoners like they were. theyre trying to decide do they go south in syria, do they align themselves with the syrians and russians to stay away from the turks or do they try to get into iraq and align with those forces. arth...

Them back to the bases and then actuate them out of there. arthel: will isis come back with a vengeance? >> isis is a belief system, as much as its a military capability. there are individuals now looking at this, seeing the american withdrawal and maybe more inclined to join isis because the american pressure is off depending what the rushes chance and syrians do. we dont know what the russians or turks or iranians will do. the u.s. governor of the process is off and now were left to whatever t...

President erdogan is infamous inflexible. not only is he super stubborn, he doesnt really hear what you say. i remember president obama would have to be extremely firm and tough with him and he still didnt hear. its no surprise that our leadership walks out and thinks he achieved something and the turks got exactly what they wanted. >> this is not just the turks and the kurds. this is about assad and russia. russian troops in bases that americans used to hold. this isnt a fight between children....

Attacks are being planned against us, against europe and carried out in europe. and that is why were here. and as this situation unravels and it has really begun to unravel, and whats significant about that, you can see americans evacuating our bases, as i mentioned, handing them to russians or bombing them as we leave. and the force weve built of 60,000 syrians, a majority arab force, is now under significant threat. so, whats likely to happen is a vacuum is going to open up, which will be fill...

Russia, to meet with vladimir putin, where those two leaders can then hash out essentially the future of this region. so, theres no doubt that russia is a big winner here. its not the only big winner, because of course, isis, iran, and turkey also have some of the spoils. but russian forces have already made their way to some of our previous bases in this region. the russians are gloating and they have every right to do that. >> ned, take a look at this tweet from nbcs richard engel in the war z...
