The u.s. china relationship. i think president xi and trump began to establish a relationship and to some extent i think they re kindred spirits and are counterintuitive. what sense? i think both of them were children of privilege. i think they both tend to identify political politics in terms of friends and enemies and relatively aggressively go after those enemieenemies. and both sought a political base by going around elite and stoking nationalism and identifying issues important to the broader masses. so i think there is probably a deal of good deal of healthy understanding, respect that perhaps the two sort of got from this meeting. i assume, the one thing that trump was not able to get from xi was some kind of an okay that a strike would be okay against north korea. ....
Column this week and let s get started. for more on the syrian strike and after math, my guest is david petraeus, first in iraq surk se successfully in the surge and served as the director of the cia. welcome. good to be with you, fareed, thanks. when you were director of the cia repeatedly urged that the united states get more involved in a sense, pick a side in fact syrian civil war, you were in favor of, as i recall in 2013, some kind of strike at that time when it used chemical wills, so in a sense trump is implementing the david petraeus, hillary clinton, leon panetta strategy right now. are we as a result engaged in the syrian civil war? ....

Of the geopolitical spewing violence and a tsunami of refugees not just into neighboring countries but the neighboring allies, as well. how does one when looking at the next step, how does one how does one find a way to attack isis while at the same time attacking its principle opponent? if i remember when obama had proposed a strike like this, ted cruz said you d be acting as the air force for isis if you bombed assad because in a sense they are the two dominant military forces in syria. is there a way is it strategically too complicated or trying to be too clever by having to say you can attack assad, you can attack the principle opponent isis and find some third force that will stabilize syria? well, again, i think ....
Not even two decades after 9/11, the u.s. military fighting on the same side as al qaeda and isis in yemen and syria. time to stop hype and coverups. does he have a point? is this in effect something that will help isis? i don t think it does really. technically this is a limited strike. it did not change the balance of power inside syria. the bigger picture for iran is really much like russia that syria is the most important ally it has. it s a strategic center. iran put an enormous investment and lost over 1,000 troops. i counted eight generals that died. his ally in lebanon has thousands and thousands of troops inside syria. its lost more than 2,000, 10,000 injured. the stakes really are not just president assad for iran as well as russia. ....
