We all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but no lucas signed up to be free again poisoned by our own people of seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and Chemical Products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would really literally send a v. A. Broke and they dont want to pay it so the wady and decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. Call for help and get the middle finger to move years to model the slow. Delayed and i hope you dont. I think there is indeed to have potential to kind of come out of this impasse of implementing that means good remains by cream on the un peace operations days to some very sensitive politically wall posts contributing countries to be eventually offer troops its off to decide to to whom they have confidence and to whom they have not seen you knew. The two thousand and eight economic crisis turn some countries into paid these are the countries with we korea colonies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of flow gloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesnt work and it makes millions off.

Welcome back across the uk where all things are considered mind to discussing the Korean Peninsula. Ok we left the first part of the program with michael talking about the possibility of a mistake and i think thats the thats one area here that is the what is it the no no no no if i could quote a famous former secretary of defense i think you work for him how michael but. Yeah yeah yeah. Charles. You know theres not a lot of discussion in the mainstream of hartleys of zero is the the russian chinese plan of freeze for freeze freezing the program for freezing of the exercises and if we go back i think it was the penultimate round of sanctions against north korea it was televised i watched the whole thing i saw the western nations you know again the sanctimonious nonsense ok. But then the chinese in the russians put out a plan and it was actually quite lengthy it was quite detailed and its still on the table and that is the way forward and that that table the u. S. Can still sit if it so wishes go ahead charles. Its very interesting you mention this is the if you like the geo political backdrop to it because that is also on the show we say the micro level of the tactical level exactly what has caused this breakthrough if indeed it turns out to be that to take place the only reason why these talks have been able to take place in the first place is simply because south korea agreed to pressure the u. S. To postpone the big military exercises that were planned until after the olympics take place on the basis of those exercises being postponed and the north has made it quite clear about this those talks then take place so its of course thats ironic in a way because of course the u. S. Is constantly stated the aim of those exercises isnt to threaten the north korea and elsewhere but it is to reassure the south and yet its the south that has gone to america and said listen lets actually stop these exercise or at least put a hold on them and perhaps we can make some progress here and i made this comment earlier this week that youve got a situation where as in korea now it would appear as so many other places around the world comes to mind to some degree syria and so on that when youve got the us and its policies being placed to one side. In these different theaters of potential conflict then that allows local players to actually exactly gather and talk nor in what sense is this interest in its policies and actually solving problems or only starting on the road to solving problems themselves so i think it kind of follow up with what charles was saying there is that the dilemma that the u. S. Faces is its very entangled in alliances with egos i think all of us on this program agree that this overture is worth exploring the u. S. Should sit down at the table and talk about Real Security issues where Everyone Needs to feel safe but then you know that the japanese are good reason oh are you going to walk away from your commitments that youre changing your mind see this is the nightmare that the u. S. Has with all of its alliances because it makes one false step then the entire region is going to take a lesson from that and maybe it will be a lesson that the u. S. Wants them to because the u. S. Obviously does not want to look weak in the pacific go ahead and washington. You know you you if you spoke on a really important subject you know this issue of either being in entrapment or abandonment issues where. Either being entrapped or there being abandoned and then it creates various there limits but let me out here throughout the proposal which is a little bit off the charts ok to deal with this situation on the Korean Peninsula you know i think one of the important things that needs to be done is a little bit of this tangle ing off the korea u. S. Alliance within the context of the United Nations command south korea is capable of carrying fighting and defeating of course not korea by conventional means of course if south korea just was able to take care of that responsibility it would also find that it has a greater autonomy in its political and diplomatic Decision Making with regard to north korea what do. Does it depend on with regard to the u. S. Is the extended to turn the Strategic Deterrent that has to remain in place and that needs to be credible but if we cant have a little bit more separation between then the war fighting in the aspect between south korea and the United States and south korea takes the lead on that perhaps they might also become a little bit more brave on the diplomatic front and drag america a little bit more towards more diplomatic means of tackling these situations then just purely military means seems to be and michael particularly since American PublicOpinion Research major poll that came out is that the American Public is reduced by a very sizable majority frowning on all these foreign adventures and intra entrapping alliances here but i mean the one of the interesting things is that in the west they dont think about or talk about is that theres always been on the agenda of unification of the peninsula of course the issue is under whose terms ok because the chinese well they certainly dont want to see it under souls are asked mrs and of course the United States as i want to see it under the north korea what they call quote unquote the regime here again i think the region has to give more agency to the koreans to find out what they want to accomplish where they want to go because the South Koreans have been brigaded that responsibility for free defense but i would say having all those american troops there makes the place far more dangerous and the u. S. Is way long overstayed its need to be there in south korea go ahead michael. Well i think thats part of the dilemma for the United States now and on the one hand a green well i love this lets proceed with talks but on the other hand how does this in the long term affect our relationship because you have to take into account the United States need to take into account then what is strategic relationship will be toward japan as you pointed out earlier and toward the south because we do have existing alliances with south korea i think that the the reality is the United States is unless it takes some preemptive effort which is going to knock everything out it needs to allow the koreans to figure out their own destiny on the one hand it we have to accept the fact that north korea now has Nuclear Weapons its like except in whether india or pakistan has Nuclear Weapons or israel our influence over that was zero or even israel you know israel as you know we they they deny that they havent but theyve got a lot of four hundred units of them and its really well you know Mike Mike Mike mike mike well let me let me go ahead my my proposal is its always been my proposals always been the United States needs need needs diplomatically to go and challenge north korea by offering an ultimate lee diplomatic relations less than this less than the sanctions except their existence and and accept the reality and that theyre there and let the two koreas figure out their own destiny ok michael one more thing ill go to charles here theyre going to have to accept that north korea is a Nuclear Power because this is you said a country that is determined to get those weapons does it ok and theres not much you can do beyond obliterating it we have india we have pakistan we have israel south africa decided to give up you know ukraine gave away their weapons to negotiations but you know north korea as charles you started out with the program theyve learned the lessons of regime change so part of the lives that into numerate what michael said. Is to recognize them as a Nuclear Power state Nuclear Weapons state ok thats going to be very tough for a lot of people to swallow but i think its almost an inevitability and then when you have a unification of maybe south Korean Peninsula maybe those weapons go away too its a long long process charles go ahead. Thats right and this is all tied into didnt our ancient concepts of course of deterrence. Destruction and all that now the things currently stand in for the forseeable future the fact is that north korea does not pose a threat to the United States even if it develops a capability to have a couple of Nuclear Weapons on board quite unsophisticated i. C. B. M. Systems that doesnt pose an existential threat to the us whereas of course the use of those weapons would very much pose an existential threat to north korea the problem is is that of course america has got other interests in south korea that are beyond simply ensuring peace on the peninsula that for example its we talked about its military facilities earlier there is also a dispute of sorts going on between the south korean government and were talking about diplomatic. Over that deployment of antiballistic Missile Systems there and especially the radars that the americans are deploying which of course are important perhaps not so much for the south korean security but for spying on china that certainly chinas fears and so thats quite its quite a complex situation in respect of the strategic picture. Other countries such as japan its understandable that they from their perspective see korea a threat with these weapons and therefore that threat needs to be mitigated but the question is how and what is the best way of doing that and it would seem to be the case that with the progress weve made so far in terms of these talks starting in only the beginnings there are many talking about sport but it may go to other issues and hopefully it will that actually when you take the pressure off and the rhetoric and deescalate then progress can be made in the canceling or the postponement of these exercises which north korea sees as a threat to its existence is a start for that process ok im going to go back to michael gives you a real expert one of my experts on donald trump and im going to get a silly idea i was like put. Im going to put up the flag and i want to see if you want to salute this is a golden opportunity for for trump to prove his critics wrong you know think out of the box be decisive you know put up or shut up you know i mean this its in the cards he could pull this off if he wanted to ok but does he have the guts or does he have the strength or is he just him did i this is a real serious question go ahead michael well i think hes being hammered in by the neo cons who want to to. Who who are committed to regime change to to nation building and i think trump needs to go back to his original promise you during the campaign that he wouldnt do either one of those things and yet hes doing them today or attempting to or hes under pressure from a lot of the near constant in order for that that they can remain relevant in this town i think that he needs to. If hes going to look inward into the u. S. To rebuild infrastructure yes Foreign Policy in effect should become his domestic policy and i think that that that is where he needs to go and he needs to let the koreas work things out hes got to recognize that that if he takes. Military action anywhere its going to cost tremendous amounts and hes hes always thinking in dollar in terms of dollars so i think that thats going to be a major well you know out of the race but it also means influence influence throughout the region it what do it what is the it going to mean what i want and i want him to think about his legacy a peaceful legacy thats all the time we have gentlemen many things of i guess in washington and in london and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at our to see you next time and remember rostock schools.

Recognition of jerusalem as the. European court of justice prevents movement from the fording a moroccan Asylum Seeker considered a potential terrorist by security forces. Broadcasting live. This is our international certainly glad to have you with us now the trumpet ministration has opted to extend the sanctions relief for iran for another one hundred twenty days the decision will for now prevent the landmark two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal from falling through. In two thousand and fifteen the Obama Administration foolishly traded away strong multilateral sanctions to get his weak nuclear deal despite my strong inclination i have not yet withdrawn the United States from the Iran Nuclear Deal instead i have outlined two possible paths forward either fix the deal with disastrous flaws or the United States will withdraw even though trump has repeatedly vowed to tear up the iran deal he has decided to keep the deal intact extending sanctions relief but also warning that this will be the last time until the deal is strengthened a bit sanctions will be added on iranian entities for their alleged support of terrorist groups now this comes after his N
