Their propaganda and what kim jong un has wanted to say is im on the same part with the president of the united states and that makes him a world player on the stage but also with his own people, not that he has to work in elections but it boosts him. i think the fact that hes walking on his own maybe as a sign that hes got some confidence that maybe things are turning out okay. also kind of a master at public relations. with releasing the three americans, blowing up that tunnel where the nuclea...

>> shannon: theres an interesting piece in the washington post and they said they should be at the table and we should have conversations and how he sees them as a world player from syria to north korea he wants to get something done and if he feels like a key player isnt at the table, its not that he think they need to be forgiven about crimea but doesnt think solutions will be reached if theyre not at the table. >> thats be an interesting thought. for example, another republican in addition to...

Pieces days ahead. what do you think of it? >> the meeting with putin makes sense. they do have a border that they are incommon. the meeting with assad is a little weird. north korea was helping syria build a nuclear weapons manufacturing reactor in syria, which thankfully was blown up by the israelis in 2007. this brings back memories of that. its odd but north korea is showing that theyre becoming a world player. another oddity, although its a good sign, kim jong-un replacing his top three mil...

It does reflect this idea among russians if they need to step it up and be a world player, when the u.s. introduces a whole knew -- of nuclear weapons a few weeks ago, its not surprising russia would respond in this way. i think what has gone from the conversation of course is any kind of notion of cooperation of trying to address these thing through arms control or something. so i think we overall have a situation where, the great powers if you will, are not working together in any way shape or...

Agreement with other nations. so weve got to do that, but now how do you do that and how do you maintain and make sure for example that china locks in and stays with the sanctions because we all have said china is key. >> what is the answer? >> the answer to that is we have to make sure, diplomacy is multilayered, and so we know china does not have an interest for the united states to stay in the region but china does have an interest to be a world player. we have other allies that weve got to w...

It is way below that, nobody is expecting it to achieve that level they face a huge budget deficit of their population is declining, only part of the pop leg thapopulation is that is gop is muslim population, with which he has so much trouble. they are a world player, but russias economy is smaller than canada. smaller than south korea. it is half of the side of california economy. so, we have to keep this in perspective, we are the worlds super power. we should not lose perspective over the pro...

The europeans from taking more steps on their own security. >> reporter: some of putins motivations for favoring trump are likely purely personal. hes believed to have a vendetta against hillary clinton for questioning the legitimacy of russian parliamentary elections five years ago. >> in particular, he felt that she encouraged the street protests. >> reporter: and putin, analysts say, hopes trump wont get in the way of his broadest ambition, for russia to become the dominant world player it on...

Night. where is he now? >> reporter: thats right. hes actually in cuba and hes an outspoken supporter of fidel castro. that story in itself encapsulates the polarity between the two communities the stark contrast between the nine days of mourning for fidel castro in cuba and celebration here in miami the last few days. in cuba hes seen as someone who stood up to imperialism of the united states, reformed education and health care and made the tiny island of 11 people people a world player and a ...

>> i think we have to look at the ukraine. putin is furious. they were pushing nato on the ukraine. he looks at crimia is part of russia. building cruise missiles were not on our way to our new cold ware but were seeing putin push back. i dont think we should be surprised. its the kind of tension we should be watching all the time. we have to lower the tone here. >> what is this? is this just putin? is this just russia saying hey, u.s. >> he want to be relevant. he wants to be a world player. he...

Tough as it was to watch it turn that way at the end. >> funny you think its a net-net positive. i know nothing about soccer. im really getting caught up in the frenzy of it all. i dont know whether its because you find these tiny countries like air ra tree ya who are super strong and powerful and they put out a good effort on the pitch. im more interested in how america has come along in this whole notion of being a world player. what we have to do to stay on the tv. whats the deal? whats comie...
