Colonel Schaefer News Today

Naval facility. to some extent hes absolutely right. where do we have our bases? we have them to protect our national interest. i think that russia has a lot stronger base, certainly when it comes to syria, of national interest in syria than we do. because thats the single naval port that they have a long limited training, theyve been selling arms into syria. as colonel schaefer mentioned, they have been building up their alliances in that region, specifically to iran. with the announcement that...

There are some outstanding questions. number one, as colonel schaefer mentioned, we had a hard time evaluating who is moderate in his not. the concept of these organized rebel groups, always more paper than anything realistic. my concern is if there are truly moderates, we put them in a position where they have a binary choice. they can either accept assad or they can join something like al qaeda or the islamic state. there are questions that have to be answered for the potential blowback. but i...

Investigation at the time. so this is a tangled situation. and i think hearings are going to be necessary, its going to be necessary to get to the bottom of what happened. but that doesnt mean thats the way we go back at the russians. the way to go back at the russians is to get the price of oil down by putting some competition into the oil market. that would sting them millions of times more than our going at them with some kind of hacking problem. >> very interesting. colonel schaefer, before ...

But im a little confused about why we have so much public commentary from the heads of that agency and other places in washington on these issues. when something happens like being hacked or other oppressive measures against democracy, the -- russians, by the way, do this all the time. they call it spreading disinformation or lies. and i think that its important for us to realize that they do it in a very nasty way, but we do something ourselves, look back on the visit of maybe netanyahu here to...

President says he handled the russian hack back in october. hes accused the media of amplifying it and said he told mr. putin back then to "cut it out." russia is denying any hacking activity and says if it happened, you have to prove it. well, if we were aware of russias hacks months ago, why is the white house just now expressing huge outrage about in and saying that russia tried to influence the outcome of our presidential election? >> president putin -- thats humorous. i think that president...

Its like they are building a media library. they go back, dip into that video and put in these messages. the other thing thats worth men shopping it takes a lot of guts to put on a suicide belt, takes lot of crazy and evil to walk into a public place with a gun and kill innocent people. doesnt take a lot of gusts to be inspired to put out a tweet, put something online, misinformation. thats a problem accepts for the u.s. military how do you shut that down? you shut down one site three more pop u...

I wish there was a little more transparency earlier, but they talked about 58 people. and this is not being done in a vacuum. these are qualified, experienced people, all very good in their field. and theyre out there, conducting what appears to be a real iko investigation. they have a tremendous reputation, so i really applaud them for saying, we dont know for sure what this sound is and whether its an explosion, great but, absolutely, if this is a catalyst that gets us to focus more on our sec...
