and that is why the combat voters voted in a nationalist populist government with the ca q. and right now as the premier missile a go out and sell says they're getting exactly what they voted for. well the problem is whenever you're prevented from doing something that you feel that you should have the right to do or that something that's so important to you on a very fundamental level like as some people as many muslims say about their religion you are really setting it up for a lot of clout i think both demonstrations and likely physical clashes because people believe that their existence is on the life and they feel that they are justified to use any means necessary to fight for what they feel is their right so if anybody feels that their rights are being taken away from them then we can expect there to be as i said i think physical bunches and it's going to all be under the rubric or the guise of islamophobia they're going to say it's

peterson and his community patriotic as actions to block these prominent commentators was the final straw doesn't look like moving to an alternative provider an alternative commercial product provider that's out of our bailiwick out of our control is going to be viable critics argue that an anti censorship platform could in practice turn into a safe place for extremists and the person who most publicly to test the platform is somebody who's not only joked about raping somebody but then doubled down on it saying well if i was junk enough maybe i would you know this is this man is very dangerous because i mean he's interested in much overlap with mine and i mean to student of you and many others that you and pizza is interested in but because he has that learning and speak some sense this is a good american but very to support the creation of peterson's think spot say that western society need somewhere to exchange ideas without fair of reprisals and

1:13 am
across the pond suddenly became news for germany when the american president pledged to send his polish counterpart more u.s. troops from the neighborhood where you have 52000 troops in germany. germany is not living up to what they're supposed to be doing with respect to later as poland is after you graduate you thank you very much strategically 1000 soldiers less than germany and a 1000 more in poland makes new big difference so what was the motive i think there are several aims to what trump is doing one of them i think has to do with putting pressure on germany so he wants to play the polish card against the germans trappist trying to put more pressure on germany that germany is paying more for the military budget reckon 2014 all nato member states promise to meet the guideline of spending 2 percent of their g.d.p. on defense within a decade half way to that deadline it's clear berlin will likely fail and that's
1:14 am
driving washington not it's not yet clear when or how the american troops stationed here in germany will relocate to poland but trump's mere hint about them crossing the border was enough to put berlin on high alert and that was the purpose and the work we heard from heart is usually on opposing sides of the political spectrum. for germany's own sake we need to finally in a significant and permanent way that reflects our global commitments increase defense spending. making sure the military is ready for the future is a question of solidarity with our e.u. and nato partners it's hard to say where they don't go further than words the recent poll suggests that the german public is deeply divided over a defense spending increase but it seems donald trump threats backed by steps like they want to really kate u.s. troops from here to poland leave little choice some welcome this pressure after

older lynn made these commitments before trying became president this has nothing to do with the american presidents but with our responsibilities to our soldiers and to europe and credible burden sharing but others disagree they see or germany will see its biggest military budgets rise since the cold war by more than 5000000000 euros that's according to uncle merkel but even that falls short of what nato and trump want somehow he's changed that for make america great again to make nato great again that we're going to make the europeans pay more for their defense what they never what they never point out of course is defense against whom they say nato is not directed against russia although everybody knows that nato is directed against russia even though i don't think anybody honestly believes there is a russian territorial threat to any of these countries every new member states is

a pad of the holy war machine to represent and we have to overcome these war machine because these war machine all these dinos out is out of history what we need is to reduce the troops at the border to russia to bring the troops home the old slogan of the peace movement is actually an adequate but defense spending is not the only bone of contention between washington and berlin and just one of many aspects that separate poland from germany. result of blows and contracts for one tariffs and sanctions for the other and
