there was one thing that we have not discussed on is the middle east other than kuwait. jim baker and george bush were on the cusp there is a chapter by dennis ross has been advisor five or six u.s. presidents on george bush and the middle east. one of the things he most regrets and jim baker said it before if we would've had a second term, we were on the edge of orchestrating that field. the middle east would be very different right now if you would have had a second term. the things that have not resolved now it's still been resolved but who knows we cannot tell. >> i have another question hear from zack who is a recent grad skidmore college. in the last few years of the soviet union the power struggle between yeltsin and gorbachev seem to define much of the politics. they took steps to remain actively neutral and the only one call directly after the signing did bush take a position, a stance. why do you think bush remains neutral for so long? does that get back to the notion of trying not to interfere too much or impose his will but to respect institutions? i think bu

my question here is because of , the buildup in kuwait, is that because the saudi's and iranians are starting to talk daca -- to talk? guest: i think there are a number of reasons they are starting to talk. i don't gets necessarily need of elements inchoate, which i'm not quite familiar with what you are discussing. is it the broader recognition by both that they have security disagreements and they've got some common security concerns that they need to talk about directly? i think one of the main driving factors is the ongoing war in yemen, which is the iranians of supporting one side and the saudi's supporting the other side. host: a recent opinion in "the hill" by john bolton was headlined, biden to announce the iranian nuclear deal is dead?" it underscores a crucial point. the iaea is simply not capable of verifying compliance without agreements such as the , proliferation treaty or other arms-control agreements without all parties involved. what are your thoughts? guest: i disagree with josh walton on many -- john bolton on many occasions. the situation we have today, i think wh
