that. what does that mean? we don t know as of yet. lavrov was the one that was most optimistic saying the relationship is at a low t. doesn t mean it s irreversible. so interesting again for what jeff zeleny was saying. rex tillerson is on the ground middle of next week. they have already figured out what the per paula, as you know, the obama administration tried repeatedly and it was criticized for not enforcing the red line. president trump has drawn anne new red line s. there any optimism on the russian end that you can get back to the geneva talks when it believes assad should say or be a part of any negotiation about the future of syria and the trump station in a week has gone from saying he can stay to now saying it cannot see a scenario where you can have a
act of aggression but the prime minister saying this has brought the united states and russia on the verge of a conflict on the ground in syria. they re of course saying what does this do for the counter terrorism effort against isis? having said all that, john, right now tonight in moscow they are hoping it is one and done. they have been very successful in the last year getting a seat at the table. they are really the power brokers in syria. it gives them the foot hold in the middle east they clearly wanted. that might be why you did not see the surface to air missile capability come into play yesterday. they would have figured out this would have been a prime location to hit. it wasn t that hard to figure out that the pentagon might hit that as a target. so they re putting in a lot of rhetoric saying they suspended the air safety agreement between the two countries. that s where they get online with each other and make sure they do not have any collisions in the air over syria. both
