Secretary that, boy, the news cycle has been so quiet and slow the last few days that we were so glad he could come here and help elevate our discussion. But he comes at an incredibly important time, certainly on the heels of several days of incredible news not only security related issues, with the north korean launch of an icbm, but also as we watch unfold the historic meeting between President Trump and president putin today. Secretary fallon, thankfully, is a frequent visitor to csis. He was here two years ago in march and the topic of discussion was in defense of a rulesbased order and how that transatlantic relationship can be used. And i think now, in todays discussion, we will look at the defense of the rulesbased order and see where we go from here. Secretary fallon assumed secretary of state for defense, his position, on july 15, 2014. Two days later, a Russian Missile shot down mh17. That was his first few days on the job.

You could have evidence presented, both sides could give their side and then a judgment could be made that would keep the u. S. Out of it, keep the u. S. Out of taking the lead. It would certainly give the president an opportunity to duck out of this red line. Do you think syria would be able to participate in that . Caller i think for the United States to respond just with weapons as the president seems determined to do, it is going to create blowback. It always happens and will probably create more terrorists than not. I think personally we are a nation of justice and a nation of laws.
