the number of conflicts in the world went down by percent heathy percent so we live in a much better world today but the nature of conflict has changed there are fewer casualties is that at the same time it's more difficult to deal with you know we didn't have suicide bombings during the cold war we have that now so it's created a new threat so our armed forces have got to be modernized they need to be more flexible they need to be more maneuverable they need to go a long distances here they have to be highly skilled and they have to use the most technologically advanced equipment but instead of both it's both a nato and russia we're investing in the equipment of the cold war huge time is big for missions you know the wrong type of people will we stick taxpayers money on the wrong weapons we're fated the last war not the next conflict so we've got to adapt nato has to adapt russia has to adapt in order to be able to confront those new

challenges of the threats to our security i talking about more modern weapons versus that's when guerilla war talk mughal the warfare they're not using very highly advanced weapons themselves whether they are more primitive than a suicide bomber an individual who strap some explosive device to to themselves and blows themselves up themselves up as well as others of the company or this is you know this is all this new it has happened in the past but never on this on this scale so we we've got to be innovative in the we we think about these things as a political side to this. a military side of this so that means adaptation innovation cooperation and it means cooperation and among all of those these people are going to be affected by modern warfare and too much of a tie at the present moment take it out. worth son took three it's ancient

ghosts of ancient conflicts and people here talking about nato and some common you know possible need to act fantasy he is a fantasy and we have people in the way still see russia. russia russia wants to rule the world look at what catherine the great said you know i can only secure my thirty years by expanding catherine the good his big court is today more fun to see and hear if you go to talk to people in the streets they say we're worried about migration we're worried the bird was the piracy on the high seas we're worried about our jobs our pensions because of economic instability we've got to focus where people work with and start working together to deal with these problems well it's interesting that you bring up the different problems of your sense of who is nato's enemy because international terrorism first doesn't sound

very convincing as you rightly brought up there are other issues that people are concerned with so who is nato's enemy vader's enemy is instability that's what will tell of this it's the people who are on the insurgents it's it's all of that secular the same with russia's enemy is you we're not talking about nature being russia's enemy or russia being neither is anybody the fact is that we've got to deal with these problems for example suddenly in the indian ocean the ships every country of being attacked by somali pirates in small boat. so what happens to that what is the response to it is that it is a multinational three hundred need to control because nato has the machinery to do that with russian ships traineeships another of to take to the ceiling of the ships that are there against these pirates from a field this is what is the other big problem we've got peace these fragile and feel. states where government basically doesn't exist and it spills over refugees

it spills over in terms of child builds economic instability these are the enemies who are going to do what they're not be all creative it is this is not seen charity or appearing on japan or even you know the soviet union or need to study this it's much more disparate but it requires us to be imaginative and her thinking you know is the pilots the. international criminals the traffickers think globally. the ball girls don't matter to their top they ignore borders but we have trouble with the border so we've got to start thinking as innovative with and and was allegedly because these people do if we're going to keep people say now you mention your corporation with china with regard to the somali pirates out china is growing konami power and they also know that they have the biggest military two point

twenty five million strong is a reason to be a series of china one zero because china's facing the same problems you know when the piracy came up it was traineeships as well and china decided it was going to be engaged you know so we start thinking of cherry guys and the enemy rather than as an hour against these forces of dissolved you and then we did another called war while else would we want to do that here the neighbor of china it's north korea north korea's got nuclear weapons and it's a crazy steers clear crazy people run it so as a threat to china it's much closer to china than it is to or to new york city so you know we need to engage all the different parties here in this nor make artificial distinction right so more cooperation rather than points of contention with china at this point here you know i really. the greatest and most successful

defense ryans of the world has ever know native. and it has been it has been useful but it had survived and thrived because it wasn't just a military organization it was an alliance of values a belief in democracy a belief in people choosing their own government of freedom before the law of good neighborly relations good internal relations all of these things these are values this kid you need to together know russia share of these fall but show needs to be part of that community of values so that we know what will defend that's what that's what to do these conflicts and what today's world is about it's defending the all the states against this order of world and bringing stability to these parts of the world is one of the country that sort of creating a bit of instability in that at least in the minds of western countries would be iran now to two years ago at the pentagon has has been reportedly developing plans

of attacking iran how realistic is that what i think everyone goes in option planning from the lowest to highest but you know that's that's not true because iran is not a normal country seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and iran is a country whose president already said it wants to wipe one of its neighbors off the mound so you can't talk about iran in terms of just a country developing and you could tell it's a danger to its neighbors and indeed as it develops long range missiles to a much wider and wider area and frankly when i go to moscow i find people more school even more kids than the americans about the nuclear iran because iran and terrified of the missile sites they're much course. to the russian border

now they are actually to the american border so the rhetoric may be different but we have all got a common interest in helping the people of iran to escape the states protected to ship the star and to stop iran being a menace in the most volatile region of the world now here we're analyzing a country with at analyzing there a leader of the same way that possibly here we've done with iraq in the past so we should have a right to think that was a mistake because there were no weapons of mass destruction found out to date but we know that no we didn't know that then. so why is our is was after the other but iran and iraq have not the same iraq was a dictatorship of the most vicious and a horrible it was a country that is attacked one of its neighbors iran and used chemical and biological weapons it is a country that invaded another neighboring country kuwait and reaped and pillaged

today and there is a country that used chemical weapons against its own people in the kurdish area certainly it's a country that dreamed the marchioness where the arabs the shia arabs had lived for many years and was involved in genocidal attacks it was it had a track record of threatening its neighbors and the wider region and we therefore believed and i had good reason to believe even if the intelligence was faulty it was up to something and it was only a matter of time before he would again threaten his neighbors and state the region iran has no more a fundamental or stupid issue we've seen for the recent demonstrations that the people the people of iran want to be free they're able to demonstrate you are they have been ruthlessly repressed at the moment but you know this is more a monolith country and i think we need to be more sympathetic to the new cornish decent peace loving people. and iran and encourage them to stand up to those who

would drop press them and seek to destabilize the region and that would mean leadership. leadership huge importance of the world today i'm not a leader of any war i'm going to such a job. but the people who must carry on the torch of leadership of the world and the hundred. people. and. we need to fight then you too to be able to deal with these kids if we go. preoccupied with the ghosts of the past then we've missed the opportunity of doing something good and we take our people into danger because we've taken. the real alright thank you very much for your time pleasure.
