Greeces parliament is voting on the proposal that brings new austerity but avoid bankruptcy. Prime minister Alexis Tsipras is trying to get backing for the deal. He said that the eurozone wont work because greeces debt is highly unsustainable and it needs more time to pay it off. Greece needs to keep paying its bills, and the e. U.

Voting, we have to weigh those risks. Absolutely. And at least the agreement in front of me limits the risk. It is a completely unlimited risk. You may be right. They wont do that. What if youre wrong. What if in fact they will. There is a hard line as you pointed out in teheran. They are licking their chops to see this agreements falling apart. I think from all of the elements in iran they want this agreement because it is so good for them economically and it strengthens their position in the middle east. Doesnt do anything to stop them from supporting and in fact it helps them support their proxies throughout the region more than now. I want to agree with you that i cant predict whatll happen. I cant predict with certainty anymore than anybody can whatll happen if Congress Rejects the agreement. I can just say from what i have seen this morning and based on what i saw come out of lozan in april, this disagreement has more risk for the u. S. And more reward for iran than i hoped it wo
To. Our leadership in the house is committed to a longterm bill. So again, instead of pointing fingers at each other, lets figure out a way to move Forward Together and i believe we will.

Last week, congress appropriatel
Deal with. To over simplify just a little bit, the issue is not just Irans Nuclear program, the issue is iran. And we need to be careful that our efforts to resolve this issue doesnt worsen the other dimensions of the problem. Now let me focus on the Nuclear Portfolio per se. If i were here with a butcher paper or something and drawing a pert chart as to how do you get from here to there with there being a Nuclear Weapon on the part of the iranians i would have three critical paths. One path would be delivery vehicles. The iranian Ballistic Missile program. Another path would be weaponization, making a device small enough and rugged enough and confident and reliable enough that you put it in a nose cone. And the third path is material, the things you need to actually have a bomb. We have chosen to bet the farm on blocking one path. We have chosen to bet our future here on blocking the path toward the creation of missile material. The other two paths ballistic material, Delivery Systems
Of a plevo site is created at that point. I realize im posing something to you that is hypothetical. In light of the officials in the Russian Federation, i think its something to be concerned about. Brezinski spoke to this Committee Earlier this year and said we need to create a trip wire in the baltics and that this trip wire should communicate clearly to russia that nato will not tolerate violation of the territorial integrity of our allies.
