one of the things that indicates is a difference in how the united states navy and how the united states army approached some of these things. in the navy there is a clear and deliberate sense of leaving room for the emergence and adaptation of new approaches and new techniques. it is clear from records of the time that they feel the united states army does not have the same kind of mindset and i think some of that had to hit home for the united states army through its fighting, both in the south pacific and north africa where some of their assumptions about prewar approaches proved to be flawed. doesn't mean the approaches of the united states navy didn't prove to be, but there was a deliberate sense we need to allow room to learn. because we will not get it right the first time. >> on the ground floor to the back, your left. >> there is an old saying that goes something like a nation prepares for the next war by preparing to fight the last war or something. it sounds like you don't think that applies to what the navy did in world war ii. what do you think about that? trent: that is a g

the united states was terribly unprepared to go to war. in may of 1916 congress under intense pressure from the white house passed the first measure to put the country in a state of preparedness should it become necessary to enter the war. at the suggestion of secretary of war, baker, congress authorized the creation of national defense but although it had an implied mandate of helping to mobilize the private sector for war production, no one knew what it could or should do. it had little authority, the army and navy sorted the shield between them and politics but the bill passed envisioned something vaguer and when the budget of $10,000, as far as congress was concerned the counsel would play a minor advisory role. a friend wondered if there were constitutional issues during the war. i assured her there were and promised to talk about some of them tonight. here it is. here is a short list of questions that came up in the war. military constriction. although both the union and confederacy had resorted to drafts there had not been popular a

states and therefore the united states does not need to have this ridiculously large budget and. are not in control of american politics i'm afraid but always try to with this book what are the chances of this book being. received well in the current amount american political environment what are your chances of discussing this book of on any of the american networks be it or and to trump very low. base they gets the the the perspective not only of trump but also the whole american political establishment and democrats as well as republicans so it's it's it's an outlier but you know for as you know for years i've been saying that al qaeda does not present very much of a threat to the united states they've been listened to they've been talked with and nothing changes now the americans have rather unique security expectations when you compare them to other countries even western countries i mean you guys insist on absolute security not only domestically but also on their ability to influence security pretty much around the world when you have such a it's an expansive security. auct

the united states i don't see what the united states gets out of it actually i see only net negatives about its relationship though you wouldn't know that from the mainstream media which of course you're always i mean i've said often on this program in american mainstream media they say as little as possible about israel and don't say anything at all about saudi arabia alex i did i just don't see that it is. it's a mutually beneficial relationship even though i think its depth detrimental to israel itself go ahead alex yeah i think that's why they're going to try to shut down market because they don't want to have the discussion of the narrative is that it's that it's america's most trusted ally no one ever goes beyond that to question why it is or why it is it and i want to make a point that i was very very disappointed with how palosi positioned this whole thing because at the end the day her statement was full of maher she's she's you know emigrates she doesn't speak english very well she doesn't understand the language very well i found it instead of you know putting up the debate

states it looks like the united states and outside countries are calling this a coup and not the opposition and their random guy that has been picked from the outside michael i mean can you reflect upon the all of the regime change all of the meddling that latin south americans experience from the united states for a very very long time why do they keep doing it that means it's road record is pretty deplorable and then you have someone like elliott abrams you know plucked out. obscurity as it were considering his record during the iran contra scandal during the reagan administration me what kind of signal is that sending to the entire region that the henchman is back on the job go ahead michael well i mean peter you and i don't always agree one hundred percent but are you very rarely agree that the united states does not. actually agree about how to type but a but but i but i take i take the broad spirit of what you're saying which is the united states is not in a position politically historically to lead some kind of a strong armed effort here by itself we need to work with the lima group

number of legislators congressmen in the united states are. complaining expressing concern related to labor but i really think this is a misunderstanding because the labor chapter is extremely powerful the little chapter is very strong very best practice what they want is not. provisions but trade provisions to. inforce the labor commitments so it's a question of believing that mexico will do what mexico has committed but they don't understand that in mexico the top priority of the new center left government is to work for the workers so i think good communication will go a long way to. that our objective in their objective are very much in line i think communication would be part of this we have to understand what they want to say and agree respectfully deal with it reopening that the treaty is very complicated it will be upon the moanin for everybody but i don't think it is necessary we need to understand each other and to see what they want and we want the same. more of this bilateral deal between united states and mexico was forged last su

sanctions have had a serious effect on the economy the united nations formally condemned the united states sanctions on a wheel they called on all member states to break them and even discuss the reparations that the united states should pay to venezuela one american special un rapporteur or described the sanctions as a kin to a medieval siege and even to clear trumped guilty of possible crimes against humanity now the fact that the resistance media presents itself as this fact checking base that will stand up to trump is frankly ludicrous were when you look at foreign policy because not only are they not nor where they're not even know where they're standing shoulder to shoulder trying to produce a regime change in venezuela absolutely let's go back to our kids here i'm really glad that alan brought up the un's position here because again western audiences are not told that the saying sions that the united states have put imposed upon venezuela are illegal under international law they have never explained how international law plays into this be the way they talk about restoring democracy

the united states cannot be the policeman of the world. having said that, we also have to pick the places where american interest are very important, and when they are important, we need to step up aggressively and we need to do something about it. i think the united states should continue to promote our values, to promote our shared vision for prosperity, and for human rights all over the world. >> thank you very much. all americans are grateful that this man is the new chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. thank you, chairman jim risch. >> thank you.

the united states. has a budget that's about five and a half times larger than china it needs conflicts all the time in order to justify that kind of spending china as it improves on its economy and grows stronger and bigger they need a military that can project power conflicts will continue china sees that inevitably it will have. it will have run ins with the united states. in areas in different areas of the world and it wants to improve on its military i think certainly the united states is watching china's economic and military rise as a launch economy but you know terms of g.d.p. . percentage of g.d.p. it remains. so the one point zero it was. the percentage is lower than in the looks on the china sea a more complex security situation. including the zealots on a sea including uncertainties over the korean peninsula i think the chinese me is really if this is it is. all exerting military coercion over other countries it certainly has. a kind of. patience over other countries these are the habit of m
