The McLaughlin Group (12.05)

FULL EPISODE
My time linked comments:
Why ISIS strong/how can be defeated (degrade credibility, mobilize Sunni resistance)
Short exchange with Pat on why ISIS has support around the world
San Bernardino terrorist attack= major hit to President Obama's counter-terrorism strategy
Why the US SOF deployment to Iraq is also important + intended as signal to Iran
US must influence Turkey and ensure Russia is deterred against incursions into Turkey (continues in exchange with Pat concerning Russian strategy in Syria)
US must ensure that NATO is a credible defense alliance
Re-taking Ramadi is very tough but important (see my article on topic)
PREDICTION: Markets expect Fed Reserve interest rate rise. Don't expect major movement

FOREIGN POLICY/NATIONAL SECURITY –While I occasionally write on domestic policy, my passion and primary focus is on foreign policy/national security. I write on a range of subjects, focusing on China, Russia, India, North Korea, the Middle East (in particular Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Terrorism-related concerns). I also write on the broader question of international order.
