Alliances and partner with russia. so clearly to your question, number one, we cannot allow the russians to continue to grow in influence by abandoning the world stage. we cannot allow russia to not only interfere in the democracies of the ukraine and latvia and lithuania, but even not calling them out for their efforts to interfere in this democracy are unacceptable. russia and putin understand strength and this president time and time again is showing moral weakness. he makes promises to the a...

Normally when we hear the president talk about iran it is not about trusting them to fight anybody who we would want to fight. >> im not advocating iran. im just going to tell you what i think what will happen with iran. iran wants to move to the shore and get a foothold of the meltdown at mediterranean sea. syria doesnt want that. russia doesnt want that. russia wants to maintain their presence in syria on the mediterranean. they pushed around a little bit further back out of the picture, becau...

Whats bad. and you have donald trump programming his own horror show every single day on international television. >> frank figliuzzi, what is a country to do? >> the country is first i think and foremost to lobby their elected representatives to do the right thing. i think when you see the polling at 52% for removal, we are reaching the pain point for members of congress in the senate who are understanding their constituents are fed up. and those who voted for trump because he was going to make...

That we will back them up too. >> in syria, he has created a bigger than ever humanitarian crisis. he has helped isis get another foothold, a new lease on life. >> it has been the most shameful that any president has done in modern history. >> wethe democrats were expressg outrageous over president trumps decision to pull american troops out of syria following a call with the leader of turkey, and the catastrophic consequences therein, this story broke. "the washington post" reports trumps tv la...

Masterful reversal. thats one key issue for them. donald trump suggested yesterday that the syrian kurds had been letting prisoners out to draw the united states back in the fray. that aside, that appears to not be true. were hearing from a u.s. official that maybe the sdf have relocated to keep them easier to manage. it doesnt appear. a lot of confusion over the key to developments here. the i kiss can have a foothold, thats in the future. for now, the syrian regime fasting on the kurds.

Well. only direct and forceful engagement with erdogan, a frankly clear threat that this would undue our relationship, our strategic partnership of many decades as a nato ally, might be enough to stop the turkish assault, but frankly in terms of russia and syria and iran, gaining a foothold. >> senator coons, i appreciate it. thank you for being with us. tonight im going to get the reaction to new polling in the democratic race for the white house coming up. first, multiple breaking news stori...

Militias supported by iran and the irg skr gain even more of a foothold in syria, gain even more of a highway to send troops, material, resources for iran, across iraq and into lebanon. this destabilizes the region. the winners here, frankly as you put it, vladimir putin of russia, bashar al assad. the murderer of damascus. the dictator of syria who has massacred huge numbers of his own civilians and iran. so on balance this is a tragic day for the united states. all of us are urging president t...

Assault. but frankly in terms of russia and syria and iran gaining a critical foothold and the kurds losing all faith in us, that damage may be irretrievable. >> senator coons, i appreciate it. thank you very much for being with us tonight. im going to get the reaction to new polling in the democratic race for the white house coming up. but first, multiple breaking news stories on rudy giuliani. a witness on capitol hill today testifies about giulianis role in shadow diplomacy. also "the wall st...

Than anyone might have expected. >> well, also, i mean, if theres a deal with the kurds and the assad regime, then effectively the assad regime gets to retake the one-third of the country that has been out of its control, which is not only a victory for a dictatorial killer, its also a victory for russia and iran, who have been supporting the regime, and of course for turkey if they get this buffer zone. >> thats right. and one of the things im most concerned about, anderson, is that hezbollah a...

In our armed forces, i heard that throughout what has been a long and difficult campaign, where 10,000 kurdish fighters died in the work against isis, it was often a struggle to make sure that they trusted american troops who fought alongside them, that we wouldnt withdraw, that we wouldnt abandon them given how hard erdogan and turkey have pressed for the united states to abandon the ypg and our other allies in the region who fought so hard alongside us. i heard this directly from a member of t...
