And codirector of the iran america project. The country that was friendly to the United States. The leadership in around feels rather strengthened by the show even though some of it was clearly orchestrated either regime. It was fueled and fanned by the shown but people have remarkable grief in favor of this general. People in syria and lebanon he may have been the institute grade or of a lot of instigator of a lot of mayhem. The regime feels strengthened. The iranian opponents of this regime , its probably the biggest demonstration against this regime ever in 40 years. The regime had to kill upwards of 1000 people, 10,000 people. They felt very threatened. Now i think they feel strengthened by this show of the now that the democrats have pulled their punch. My sense is that the demonstrations will come back, they are the results of rather remarkably bad economic situations, corruption, and cronyism.

Were in the midst of a wrenching president ial impeachment process. The broader country seems to have some deep cleavages societally. We have a big problem with mutual distrust in the country.

Thank you very much john and thank you to hudson for hosting me, thank you for the terrific work you are doing. These are challenging times, in the United States and across the world. We have to be candid that we have enemies in the world. I have categorized the countries we face in the world in four groups. Enemies, allies, problematic allies, and rivals. Lets talk about each. I ran seeks Nuclear Weapons. North korea already has them. Both have repeatedly called for the destruction of the United States of america.

Both have repeatedly called for the destruction of the United States of america. In south america we have disintegrating and failed states controlled by antiamerican thugs such as ortega in nicaragua or missouri in venezuela. Who use their resources to so chaos across the western hemisphere and beyond. We also face hostile rivals such as china and russia, qualitatively different from our enemy. In that we trade with them, we compete with them in the economic sphere, and yet more often than not, their interests are antagonistic to our own.
