Marco: Putin Trying to Replace U.S.

so let's bring in Republican presidential candidate senator Marco Rubio he clearly predicted this current situation that we're seeing on hold in Syria just

weeks ago senator good morning good to have you with for more so you just heard Peter do see are giving us the update on what is going on the ground and the white house's claiming that

anyone that we have trained that has been hit on the ground on the part but in the given your background or what what's your take on that's

absurd that's absurd Vladimir Putin is deliberately targeting all the non isis rebels the more moderate they are the more he's going to target them and here's why if

he can wipe out all the non isis elements on theory then they can turn to the world and say okay guys here's your choice isis

at that point he'll be able to force the world to support the site you know for the past couple of years we've heard about the refugee crisis we've heard about the need to be moderate

rebels in Syria the white house's talked about you know efforts to help them into it and a myriad of ways you know whether it's eight or weapons are over

the past several years and it appears about a report and size of the situation as you accurately set debate

and the house debate much reason to be look at the situations that you know this isn't really doing anything here there's no reason for me not to grant and defend Assad and

fact if you look at that region for example this is going to sound absurd to your viewers but in the region there are a lot of people who believe the United States actually supporting created

isis scarcely theory it's absurd it's taken root in the minds of a lot of people in one of the reasons why is because they know what American airpower looks they

saw during the war in Iraq and they're saying what you're doing now is not real American air power so that's why it's important not just to do

a better job of targeting isis for purposes of defeating the but also winning the confidence of the people on the ground that we're trying to work and

this president and this administration have been quite frankly incompetent I want to play that bit of sound from the debate that I'm an

understanding of exactly what it is Russia and Putin are doing and it's pretty straightforward he wants to reposition Russia once again as a geopolitical worse

it was going to see in the next few the Russians will begin the firefly combat missions in that region not just targeting ice but

in order to prop how did you know that that was a because they were positioning Erath and Syria and there's no reason to have combat aircraft in Syria except the conductors attack second

it's because it puts you could clearly see that it was part of a broader pattern on behalf of Russia %HESITATION number one to be against anything or for but

the world they can't do that I cannot because the Russian economy is smaller than it please so you have to do military this is one more step and yes

know it is in small numbers these days and the CIA people that have been trained there in small numbers as well when

they're looking up into the sky and they got Russian bombers coming in at the and they're saying where is the United States so are we going to step it up to defend them and what position of Afghanistan are we then at war with with rush well

first of all the reason why the non is rebels are smaller numbers and why this whole program of arming and equipping them is going to disasters because the administration took to by

the time they got around to doing it a lot of people are either dead or had been forced into exile what we should be doing is what I've been calling for for me an

area that's protected both on the ground and from the air and from that spot is where these rebel group and the that will take on isis and Assad can help organize

how's it can also be or where refugees can go to instead of having to make the dangerous journey into Europe or alternately to the United States as well ok
