Billions of dollars building up their air force and ground force and their capability. shouldnt they be taking the lead in responding militarily if there is going to be a military response? >> and thats where the tough question comes in. because lets think about this. a u.s. strike on, whether its an iranian oil facility or the weapons used to actually carry out this attack, a proportional response. or what i actually think should happen, too, is iranian assets in syria. because its kind of same...

And senior analyst with the international crisis group a very good evening sir now the you. have the most important ground force in yemen why did they decide that they can no longer go further. well the 1st thing to say is that when we say that the u.n. has the most important ground force theyre not doing the frontline fighting in yemen theyve been equipped in training and assisting yemeni forces on the ground and what theyre doing at the moment really is pulling out a lot of the heavy equipment...

Are so many elements of power that quarterback deployed by a nation or a non-state actor or some organization, thats diplomacy, military and economics. so you have economic sanctions that are working hard and military on the other side. some you have to play those in some degree of sin chronnous fashion. if you increase one, you might decrease the other. i think what we see with this administration is you got an increase in sanctions as fred laid out, this is ecumennic am. its the navy, oh by th...

F out of isis, he did those two strikes on syria. to me, it was actually quite striking that he wasnt going to do a ground force invasion, he was never talking about doing strikes. the fact that he considered that, or in his accounting considered that and pulled back was surprising to me. >> ed: something so limited and yet he still pulled back. what does it say about as we head back to 2020, the politics of it, the campaign always out there you have someone like liz cheney on the right this dow...

Denuclearization but not who goes first. north korea wants sanctions relief and economic ends from south korea. we want them to give up nuclear stuff first because weve been burned twice before in the bush and clinton administration. if they can get through that would be big progress. eric: what about the thought that only one what he wants is for us to remove the 28,500 troops so you potentially can have a conquest of south korea. >> i think thats unlikely. without a ground force him on the sou...

Russia can drive a wedge between us and cause tensions between us, and certainly when the president questions our resolve with regard to defending our allies, it creates opportunity and it creates tension, and that is just a gift to vladimir putin as you know. and he also doesnt have to worry about paying any cost. he paid almost zero cost for detaining the ukrainian ships in their shared sea of azof, and now he has also the announcement of the u.s. withdrawal from syria which gives him free rei...

He was the point man really for isis as you brought up and then the president now saying that the fight with isis is over. we have flattened them. they no longer -- we defeated isis. >> presidents wrong about that so hes either ignoring the intelligence hes being given or just making up facts. we have reduced the territory that isis controls to a very small pocket. but there are still over 10,000 syrian -- excuse me, 10,000 isis fighters in syria alone and also some in iraq. and they will contin...

>> this is over syria. the reality is the turks argument is that we are supporting the syrian kurds who are the main ground force guided by special operations ports for the united states to defeat isis in eastern turkey. they look at syrian kurds as terrorists. they are connected to a terrorist organization that is trying to topple the regime and carve out a curtis town inside of turkey and syria. theyre loosely tied to them. we resent as you just mentioned a relationship that turkey has with ru...

Foreign military aircraft in particular, that operates in this area. officials not overly concerned about this. it could be russia is attempting to retrain its pilots to conduct additional training but it has been some time and theyll be looking to see if russia continue these probing activities in the near future. >> ryan browne, keep us posted. thank you so much. tensions and rhetoric are ratcheting up in the middle east in the wake of president trumps decision to pull out of the iran nuclea...

Hello, again, thanks so much for joining me. we start with growing unrest in the middle east. thousands of iranians have taken to the streets, angry with president trumps decision to pull out of the nuclear deal. and just today, the commander of the iranian army ground force said itsraels security is further threatened by the u.s. decision to withdraw from the nuclear pact. iran said it plans to restart its nuclear program on a, quote, industrial scale. and now, fighting along the gaza border be...
