You are all aware and country thought a lot about this, that the biggest Foreign Policy judges aggressive and the unpredictable behavior of russia on the world stage. Mr. Trudeau, if he becomes Prime Minister how will you deal with Vladimir Putin .

Hes destabilizing Eastern Europe with his unacceptable incursions into ukraine. He is pushing in blocking the achievement of ceasefires and stabilizing and stopping the bombings and war into syria and hes been a provocative agent in the arctic, which requires candidate
I think that in and of itself is problematic. I think in 20122013 the position of our country, our administration, and our defense department, as well as our allies was to remove assad and i think it is still our position to remove assad. I think it is clear the position of the russians is to keep him in power. My concern is creating a voice in the region and i dont know what the answer is today. But we will look at it over the next weeks and months. Prior to president peutins airstrikes he went to congress and requested an aumf and got hundred percent approval for airstrikes with no ground troops. Here is what i can is pore an important point and maybe i should not say a hundred percent but the president came before us months ago with an amuf, i always said the president shouldnt be using old aumfs to continue what is happening in the middle east and he did.

Jones, your opening testimony was touched upon where china is north koreas last remaining patron. What would happen if china joined us in the sanctions if were just thinking through and really did cut north korea off . How would north korea respond .

This is why when we talk to the chinese we try to talk about how we can work in concert to bring pressure on tnorth korea in a surgical way. Were going to keep at that because we think increasingly the core chinese interests in stability on the Korean Peninsula and our core interest in security that these are converging concerns. And we are seeing signs for the first time in decades that the chinese also recognize this that their stability will be af
