Exactly how they are going to receive this. on the one hand, theyve con dentaled the action, but on the other hand, sergey lavrov says he looks forward to more discussions, but theyve suspended the memorandum of understanding about deconflicting the air space. how do you see the russians handling this going forward? >> i think its fair to say it depends on the next step, is there a follow-through? if this is purely about the use of chemical weapons it was a limited strike. it doesnt truly affect...

Russian foreign ministry said in a statement now they are clearly an act of aggression against the sovereign syria. actions undertaken by the u.s. in fact do not inflict further damage to the u.s.-russian relations. of course, we also saw some strong words pushing back against russia from the u.n. ambassador to the united states ambassador to the u.n., former governor nikki haley. at one point earlier this week, she asked how many more children have to die before russia cares? one other aspect o...

Vladimir putin has to speak to. certainly at home he has to show strength. im sure and we know this. there were private communications yesterday. the u.s. made it clear to the russians that it did not want to kill or injury or hurt or strike russian capabilities or people on the ground there. the u.s. wanted to make that clear. the reports from the ground that russian forces were seen leaving before the strikes took place. so russia has to say something. it does have an effect. the u.s. has take...

I mean, we know what russias been up there for a long time we know what the iranians will doing. and it was it seemed naïve to suggest that they would rethink this. with you no theres been action and i think as a result of this action youll have the united states government pressing our allies and potential partners in a coming coalition and others to put pressure on the russians, put pressure o iranians to back off of their support for bashar al-assad and be very interesting to watch the comin...

With you. words of support from the air strike came from great britain and saudi arabia which held the presidents "courageous decision." from those countries from which condemnation would be suspected, condemnation swiftly came. iran foreign minister tweeting this morning about what u.s. aides saddams use of chemical weapons than resorts to military force over bogus chemical weapons allegations first and 2003, reference thereto the iraq war, and now in syria. not even two decades after 9/11, u.s...

Is it really more or less moral to use barrel bombs, conventional weaponry than using chemical weapons? obviously the outcomes are oftentimes the same, and so the thing that the white house really has to determine is whether the mission is to either take out assad, to keep him from using chemical weapons, or to deter the russians or iranians from using their client state to actually do something. that is really the question that the white house and the world community really needs to ask donald ...

If it doesnt, is the administration willing to use military force again? >> jim sciutto, has russia given any clues to what the response will be to this? >> they clearly said they dont like it. they called it an act of aggression, et cetera. the question is that public message and how is it followed on the ground because the u.s. attacked their client state there. does it change russian military action there? probably unlikely. i want to bring up an operation that we may have forgotten. operatio...

Still have a client state, but the syrians have been moving away in terms of their missile technology away from some of the russians. they are now using chinese technology, they are using chinese satellite. >> what about that with the chinese president like today? >> he deftly should. i think you should take a picture of what actually happened inside syria, take a picture to the meeting with the chinese and say, take this back to your north korean friends. this there is a new sheriff in town and...

War planes, et cetera. the u.s., in a limited way, troops on the ground, but in a very limited way. it is taking military action against its client state. it will have an effect. i think the u.s. in limiting the strike and warning the russians and signals both sides dont want to blow up the entire issue. i have to think neither side wants this to escalate. >> "spider" this meeting that was previously scheduled with secretary of state rex tillerson and moscow has gotten more interesting. at the m...

Iranians and to everyone in the region that were not disengaging. were more engaged than ever before. >> david ignatius? >> mr. secretary, secretary of state rex tillerson goes to moscow next week, probably to talk with president putin. what should tillerson say to putin specifically about syria? >> i think he should say you agreed to help in syria. you established bases there. you protected your client state as such. you are responsible for not supervising your client state. you promised to get...
