Used social media to the degree that donald trump does. i think he used it effectively during the campaign to speak directly to the american people. of course, i hope hes going to be even more cautious with it now that hes president-elect and soon to be president. i think the more important part regarding this tweet is what hes telegraphing to china, and also to the american people and to the whole world is that america has not been feared by its enemies, hasnt been trusted by its friends. hes s...

Provocation. and, you know, just on that story, that father with the 6-year-old son next to him, one thing that footage didnt show was that that 6-year-old was crying so loudly you could hear his wailing from the room next door and there are thousands of civilians on both sides of this conflict that have been caught that have been orphaned and that have lost their mothers or their fathers. its just a reminder of how real and how tragic this conflict has become. >> it has gone on for years now. s...

Incoming administration, seeing how far they can push the envelope by issuing this new provocation. but reality is, we dont really know. what we do know, what most experts will tell you is that this is an unprecedented, at least in recent times, escalation in this region in what is really a tough time right now for u.s./chinese relations. >> all right. matt rivers, appreciate the update. thank you so much. according to the syrian government, evacuations of war-torn eastern aleppo could resume ...

Back. the chinese basically said, yeah, we hear you, then they sailed away with it. the u.s. has now issued a formal diplomat complaint to china over this issue. its not entire clear why china took it. this is not like when they kept our high tech surveillance airport that crashed on hainan island and sent it back to us in a number of boxes apparently trying to reverse engineer as much of the equipment as they could. this little drone thing, its cool, but its not going to have a lot of intellige...

If china wants one of these, theyre expensive, theyre about $150,000, but you can just buy them. this particular one does belong to the u.s. navy, though, and china taking it and refusing to give it back is basically just a one-finger salute to the united states of america. its meant to be an embarrassment, meant to be an insult, meant to be a diplomatic provocation. and the timing would appear to not be random. at the same time that this has all gone down, late last night, china also announced ...

A new foreign policy based on insult and provocation. and so this year spring has come early, and now this just happened. all right. it was in the south china sea international waters. our old friend, same ship, the bowditch, same ship that had that scrape back in 2001 right after george w. bush got sworn in. the bowditch yesterday back out there again, still unarmed vessel, still doing research, still with a civilian crew. this time the bowditch was using what looked like model airplanes. this ...

Know, some time in the spring. well, in this transition that were going through now, whether its by accident or on purpose, we dont know yet, but weve got an unusual thing going on in this transition which is even though weve not yet had an inauguration, even though the current president is still in office, the incoming president has already set in motion a new foreign policy posture toward china in particular. a new foreign policy based on insult and provocation. and so this year spring has com...

Its been really vague and astonishing when you look at the piece there and the cry for help that this wasnt more central in a u.s. presidential campaign. but it wasnt. and his policy has been pretty vague. what we do know is this. he throughout the whole campaign said assad is someone elses problem. he wanted to focus on isis. believed in creating safe zones but wanted other people to pay for them. and that one moment in the debate where he disagreed with pence, his own vice presidential nominee...

That. i dont think if you -- if we can stand back and permit country fist they dont like whats going on in a neighboring country to roll the tax. i think that violates all norms of international behavior. i have been a supporter of the idea of sanctions and i will continue to be a supporter in terms of the national interest of the united states. >> let me go to two other trips around the world here. i want to start with china. donald trump has decided to be tough on china already. some see the p...
