War By Proxy News Today

Shes called him or connected with his people to say, we have to do something. And that resulted in the attack on the american base. It was largely a failure, and i think most of it fell outside of the grounds of the american airbase in the middle east. But they essentially said, we have to do something. We have to save face. Im just curious because we were told for 2 or 3 days ahead of time, something is coming, something is coming. Of course, intelligence could have picked that up, but do you t...

Showed the launch of, that is, you know, attacking the concept of mutual assured destruction and what he wants to do is to make sure that we feel uneasy about our ability to defend against the weapons that russia has. and so we launched off a submarine an intercontinental ballistic missile this week in the pacific ocean. so russia. >> judge: you dont hear about that as much. >> exactly. >> judge: sounds like a tit-for-tat again. >> very much. almost like a war by proxy that we had in the cold wa...

President putin supposedly showed the launch of, that is, you know, attacking the concept of mutual assured destruction and what he wants to do is to make sure that we feel uneasy about our ability to defend against the weapons that russia has. and so we launched off a submarine an intercontinental ballistic missile this week in the pacific ocean. so russia. >> judge: you dont hear about that as much. >> exactly. >> judge: sounds like a tit-for-tat again. >> very much. almost like a war by proxy...

Incredibly tough challenge that we have. and clearly i would say what the united states administration is doing now they are down playing -- theyre not trying to enflame this. a spokesperson steps forward and said were working diligently with both capitals in tehran and riyadh to mitigate. bear in mind saudi arabia and iran have major issues, and we see it every day in yemen. remember that saudi arabia has a hot war with shiite militia in yemen now. this is not a war by proxy. this is saudi arab...

This is not the civil war tag place the course of many decades. this is a war by proxy and where the united states and regional partners have to step up. there is no military exclusion exclusively but it starts with some form of a cease-fire and a military effort to halt what is taking place right now. >> yeah. maybe the humanitarian call for cease-fire from the red cross can begin that. we saw -- >> you know -- >> we saw that call in gaza and the crimea region. it can sometimes stop for humanit...

About. >> lets talk about this war by proxy from the angle of the u.s. relationship with iran. the houthis, iranian allied, and the u.s. now in these talks about the nuclear program in iran. how does one affect the other? >> this is all connected. i find it ironic that the leader of hezbollah indicated that this should move to some peaceful negotiations when shiite involvement is distinctive, its precise, its inarguable part of a larger strategy on the part of tehran so needs to be checked. when...

Here we are just past the bottom of the hour. im brooke baldwin, and we ought to know by now, but when politics, guns, and the second amendment all meet, to paraphrase hunter s. thompson, things get strange. maybe none stranger than what happened in democrat-leaning colorado where voters have ousted the democratic head of the state senate. thats him on the right. and a second senate democrat from a heavily democratic district because they helped pass some fairly modest firearms restrictions. but...

Allegedly. the question is, how do you basically punish president bashar al assad? i would argue that we, the united states of america, should use this particular heightened moment of threat to try to engineer a diplomatic settlement, to try to ease bashar al assad out of power, to convince the russians and the chinese and the world community its in their interest that assad basically is out of this particular power. this is really the right way to go. ironically, american policymakers, as you w...

Opposition. its an open ended war by proxy, iran, hezbollah and syria, turkey, qatar and saudi arabia plus russia and the united states. this tells you how complex the conflict has become in syria. >> which brings me to another point i want you to touch on. iraqi jihadists there, lebanon, hezbollah involved, all these other external players. im curious of big picture. are we approaching in your view or have we reached a point where the chance of syria surviving as a single workable nation, a soc...

Would like europe and neighbors to take ownership. ironically, the united states played a major role in convincing the european powers to lift the arms embargo against the opposition, yet the obama administration is reluctant to basically send american boots to syria or even arm the opposition. as senator mccain with all due respect to senator mccain, his recipe to all conflicts in the middle east, whether iran, iraq, libya, syria, bomb, bomb, bomb. senator mccain, even though he has some good p...
