>> jen, for all the talk about how tough the president -- the president always says hes so tough on russia and the example that was always used was the american troops in syria, the russians arent happy about that. this is a huge victory for russia. russian troops have now quickly occupied the bases, the forward bases that u.s. special forces have been in and now hes just basically kind of linking all the kurds to do pkk, which is an organization which turkey does have legitimate concerns about ...

>> yeah. >> he doesnt care about strategic alliances. and so were really seeing a revamping of american foreign policy. >> jen, for all the talk about how tough the president -- the president always says hes so tough on russia and the example that was always used was the american troops in syria, the russians arent happy about that. this is a huge victory for russia. russian troops have now quickly occupied the bases, the forward bases that u.s. special forces have been in, and now hes just basi...

Get-go that he wanted our troops out of syria. but if that were the case, there was a way to do it that made a lot more sense than pulling them out with a days notice. our troops ran for their lives. tonight, were bombing our installations inside syria because we left so quickly we couldnt get rid of all of our stuff. he didnt have to do it this way, even if this was a policy choice he wanted to make for a while. >> you saw the reports from a russian journalist inside u.s. bases. they were insid...

Kurds. it is extraordinary to see the fast pace developments on the ground. the u.s. forces pulled out of their main base at the cement factory and had to blow up their disguarded munitions and equipment there in the base using f-15 air strikes. i cant all that. about ten years ago in afghanistan. all yieyes on the meeting next week. a lot of time, though, before that likely diplomatic solution for things to change on the ground. >> all right. nick paton walsh for us in erbil. thank you very muc...

It that made a lot more sense than pulling them out with a days notice. our troops ran for their lives. we are tonight bombing our installations inside syria because we left so quickly, we couldnt get rid of all of our stuff. he didnt have to do it this way, even if this is a policy choice hes wanted to make for a while. >> you saw the reports from a russian journalist who is inside u.s. bases. they were there just a couple of years agriculture and no. now the russians are in there doing stories...

One is the credibility of the united states is the steadfast ally is going to be called into question. the kurds are now allied not with the united states but with russia and the assad regime in syria. our influence in that country is going to be virtually nil. the president wants to get us out of the middle east. im not sure having us replaced by iran and russia is necessarily a good thing. we are where we are and we will see how it plays out. >> dana: one of the things people notice is that in...

Reporting in the "wall street journal," joe, that we are bombing our own bases in syria as our troops move aside so that russians and turks cant occupy those bases. hes made a colossal mistake and now hes trying to rationalize it. >> were bombing our bases, theres a chaotic, frantic retreat. donald trump has once again surrendered. hes once again appeased vladimir putin. again, as everybody knows that watches this show, this is the first time since 1973 that russia has been in the middle east. d...

Thought, lets say again, the united states would be carrying out air strikes against its own bases because the russians were seen in propaganda video a couple days ago playing around in our bases as they occupied them. mike, ill let you have at it with the syrian question but i want to put the photo up of the meeting yesterday. >> yes. >> the president of the united states tweeted this out as if it were good for him. he characterized this as nancy pelosi somehow looking nervous, somehow having a...

Nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day all-night protection. can you imagine 24-hours without heartburn? so this isnt a good sign. the u.s. military launched air strikes today to bomb one of its own bases in syria. the u.s. military spokes person describing, a, quote, preplanned precision air strike to destroy an ammunition cache and reduce the facilitys military usefulness. "the wall street journal" reporting the space had been used by u.s. forces to train kurdish fighters. the k...

Agreed to a five-day ceasefire in syria, which despite the presidents spin amounts to a spectacular failure on his part. again, it will ultimately benefit russian foreign policy interests. we have basically agreed to guarantee turkey and russias gains in syria as we withdrawal our troops. then we are withdrawing them in such a hasty fashion that we literally are bombing our own military bases as we leave for fear that the turks would take over these bases. you know, our nato allies, the turks. t...
