RT Correspondent Anya Parampil talks with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh about his latest bombshell piece in the London Review of Books. The article, titled “Military to Military” alleges, based on sources within the military, that the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Defense Intelligence Agency advised President Obama against an “Assad must go” policy back in 2013, fearing if Assad fell the country would plunge into utter chaos or into the hands of extremists. When the Obama Administration seemed to ignore the advice, according to Hersh’s sources the Joint Chiefs began sharing intelligence with Russia, Germany, and Israel with the understanding it would be sent to the Assad regime and aide its fight against ISIS and other extremists groups. In the interview, Hersh discusses the implications of his story, the US’s relationship with Turkey, and why the mainstream media is quick to attack him.<br /><br />RT LIVE http://rt.com/on-air<br /><br />Subscribe to RT! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=RussiaToday<br /><br />Like us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/RTnews<br />Follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/RT_com<br />Follow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/rt<br />Follow us on Google+ http://plus.google.com/+RT<br />Listen to us on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/rttv<br /><br />RT (Russia Today) is a global news network broadcasting from Moscow and Washington studios.
