year to step up to have an ambitious, inclusive 25 european countries framework for the european defense unioneuropean defense fund from which on we are building capabilities we need to build up the structures, to have the forces that are deployable when a crisis hits. just to have the structures and procedures to be faster, to be able, if the political will is there, it's often there in europe, to act sufficiently. >> is the option to bring on a third party like the uk into the fold, as it relates to the european defense union, is that still on the table >> we want to have very good and strong relationship with the uk and security matters we will always be side by side where nato is concerned. this will always be collective defense. but also in a bilateral way we will have a strong relationship with the uk. they are very important for us >> we've been talking about the comments we got from french president macron as well as the german chancellor. you know, she soak about the ne spoke about the need of advance global stage >> we have aclear philosophy, we learned our lessons from the last cent

cooperation even maybe a defense union and securing for example the external borders against illegal migration into the european union ok so that's sus some of what they want and whether they disagree. it's hard to say because both try to hide any form of disagreement and you have to say that the germans so far don't really have an official government line quite simply because they don't have a new government yet so the real disagreements that come out when you talk about the meat and potatoes about the details about how to put something on the ground they have not emerged yet and they're clearly trying not to let them emerge either is just to give you an example french president my cross said listen we know that we might not necessarily have the same ways of getting places getting to the same to the goals that we have but what's important is that we have the same goal and he insisted on that they really had a show of unity as they have always had in the past months and try to dwell on that and not on the possible differences

we just created the european defense union to speak with one voice, mainly foreign affairs come to be a reliable partner and to foster this process of modernization that you have been talking here. andsecond point that i see i am talking about the power vacuum or the problems to predict the direction of the white house and different fields of politics. if i look at syria and iraq, it has been impressive that they were seeing a threat of daish, a coalition against terror, which is in 70 countries, about 30 around were active in the fight against daish and we were successful. they are very different, but we had one main goal, that was defeat them. we are not totally done. the ideology is still in the room but this was unifying. now in a second step, with having defeated mainly daish, the problem will be that we have not fallen back on these a small conflicts in whatever these in arent interests are fragmented iraq, but to keep them together, and to keep us together with one vision of peace and stability and prosperity, as you just pointed out. that brings me to the third point. yes, i h

is lost in some ways germany has always been in favor all developing european defense cooperation making the european union. effectively a player in the world security system. but if britain leaves. germany is going to have to decide how much of results it close into thatt. process financial and human and otherr moment rounds is clearly in the lead. if rick britain l leads out of the same time a call act on its own so as we sort libya in two thousand eleven. as we see even in mali now. france does need some support in britain is a on the a european country type look providing that civil that present. now and why ally st necessarily go in the same direction. draws a b burden hahave a lot i in common thi hahave hugee differencnces s wewell foror example even internallyly they approach e problem of multi culturalis. in very different ways. theyey're a actually c chooe tools european integrationon is different at leastt in principle. added goalss it britain leaves then they'ree gonna be in a very differen. interernational political situation previouslyy we could also sayy t that frane wawas on dubious terms wi

defense. chief, in hisin 1963 message on the state of the union, sums up our military position. >> this countryontinues to require the best defense the -- defense in the world. a defense that is suited to the 60's. this means a rising defense budget, for there is no substitute for adequate defense, and no bargain-basement way of achieving it. it means the expenditure of more than $15 billion this year on nuclear weapons systems alone. a sum which is about equal to the combined defense budget of our european allies. means improved air and missile defenses, improved civil defense. anti-guerrilla capacity. threats of massive retaliation may not deter piecemeal aggression and a line of destroyers in a quarantine. of menequipped division on the border may be more useful to our security than the modification of awesome weapons beyond all rational need. it makes little sense for us to ,ssail the harbors of communism to spend $50 billion a year to prevent its military advance, and then to begrudge spending, largely on american products, less than 1/10 of that amount, to help other nations strengthen th

today, both america and the soviet union have an opportunity to develop a defensive shield against ballistic missiles. a defensive shield that will threaten no one. for the sake of a safer pieceac, i am committed to pursuing the possibility that technology offers. the general secretary and i also anticipate continuing our talks about other issues of deep concern to our peoples. for example, the expansion of contact between our peoples and more information flowing across our borders. expanding contacts and information will require decisions about life at home that will have an impact on relations abroad. this is also true in the area of human rights. as you know, we americans are concerned about human rights, including freedoms of speech, press, worship, and travel. we will never forget that a wise man has said violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone, it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. silence is a form of falsehood. we will always speak out on behalf of human dignity. we americans are also concerned , as i know you are, about senseless conflict in a number o

union was the new idea and union was supported for host of reasons some of them having to do with national defense against european powers. the union and states being necessary to that. jefferson thought in terms of empire. so i believe the american nationstate was constructed afterwards from all these conflicts are developed in the 19th and 20th century's. how do we get back to a madisonian kind of system? i have no idea because madison never envisioned a huge government. many things we are talking about, huge administrative state, financial power of the national government, none of these things were implied in the 19th century. if you were to ask the foundation, the pillar of the administrative system we have today, what is the one thing that makes it run? there are a lot of things but probably the one thing that is very fundamental is the fact the united states dollar is the reserve currency for the entire world. is that means the national governments can borrow money to infinity because it can print the dollar to pay the debts, all these other countries have to earn their reserves, they can't

defense exactly. at times when populists recently regularly challenge the idea of the european union of course we've heard a number of economic. arguments you know economic benefits of the european union but veronica really focused here on an older idea of the european union and why it is good and that is the idea that it ensures peace and now if you didn't go back as far as into history you didn't have to go back as far into the history of the second world war for instance the foes between germany and france the arch enemies were no working together as allies but he has a more recent example in his own country how do you help to overcome the northern island conflict and here's his example let's listen to what he had to say today there is a peace bridge crossing the river foyle bringing together the divided communities in john's native city of derry in northern ireland a great ship the european union helped to build. defriended hard to imagine the good friday agreement being made with as our shared membership of the european union and its single market and in our land we are now having to contemplate our

forwarding this new defense cooperation and also looking more and the challenges of migration we know there are still differences of opinion and differences of approach within the union on this but we'll continue to work on this so in defense of a migration on the chancellor's mind it is not clear that where else is she looking at more activity from europe where she also talks about a common foreign policy she said how important it is in this globalized world that europe speaks with one voice and she mentioned particularly for instance when the audience is china you know a big power still rising power europe needs to make clear what it wants so those are the kind of things she talks about renewing europe's economy as i mentioned the digital economy and something the president called to has talked about a whole range of ideas from the chancellor nothing new i think but the way she drew all the lines together. particularly in the context of security policy talking about how important it is for europe to get the african economies moving and to to promote any positive signals that there are there she drew it all together and that's important max hoffman buckle is this th

defense. commander-in-chief in his 1963 message on the state of the union sums up our military position. >> this country therefore continues to require the best defense in the world. a defense which is suited to the 60's. this means arising defense budget. there is no substitute for adequate defense. it means the expenditure of more than $15 billion this year on nuclear weapons systems alone. it's about equal to the defined can -- defense budget of our european allies. it also means improved air and missile defense, improved civil defense, the strengthened anti-guerrilla capacity, and of prime importance, powerful and flexible nonnuclear forces. threats of massive retaliation may not deter aggression and lab destroyers for division of well-equipped men on the border may be more useful to her real security than the qualification of weapons beyond the. rational need. >> all of our video is archived. /history.w.c-span.org seriesan's history landmark cases returns next month with a look at 12 music -- supreme court cases. each week historians join us to discuss constitutional issues and stories behi

done now quite a number of african countries don't see don't appear to see the african union as the first line of defense for instance that african countries the first deal with france before they talk about africa or the african countries why do we have that because the strength of the african union is not as it should be i mean it can be so that we have a fricken solutions to african problems at every point in time that is not to say we are so let us nor country under the sun today can. stand on its own we need to do business was our continents of the world however do we know that we should be able to do it with respect we big need to be able to speak where we are to speak not because we are to live and i've done a lot i'm free man is going to get it done that and this moving moving it on a little bit we're looking at present paul kagame of course he'll ever wonder out of genocide. is he the right man for the job i've been with he's been called a village chief trying to use a village style method in the city and that this doesn't wash that people are unhappy that he hasn't been console seven nuff with

by forging this new defense cooperation and also looking more and the challenges of migration we know there are still differences of opinion and differences of approach within the union on this but we'll continue to work on this. it's all about working together so not just defense and migration but many other areas as well yeah i mean is she talked about this idea of a deepened european security policy common security policy but she immediately went on to say that that would include common development policy and i think she's thinking there as she also said in particular of africa the importance for europe of having good relations with its major neighbor a continent and doing what it can to stabilize countries there to improve the economy is there she said that migration is of course destabilizing in europe all of these things are things that we know but the way that angle americal drew it together here she really had a focus on africa in this speech because she said you know europe of course has its colonial history in africa that's a responsibility that lies on european shoulders to find good solutions but also there's a self interest there as well because we've go

union. her only defense was oops, i did it again. >> so your argument seems to be look what you made me do. [laughter] >> but, miss stetson he did identify himself as sebastian. and as groucho marx said, who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes? >> but i think that gets back to the rose point. the idea that he identifies himself as sebastian only put her on notice that this person that she loves also went by the name sebastian. it's kind of a potato potato thing. >> i prefer tomato tomato. >> my mistake i will correct the record. the issue here is not that she was marrying someone with a different name. this is not the marilyn monroe situation. this is the bart simpson situation. that is the very different situation. >> isn't our standard much higher than that. you can't go around giving annulments like oprah's favorite things. you get an annulment and you get an annulment. [applause] [laughter] >> that's a fair point. i will promise that i won't be here again asking for another annulment on behalf of anyone else for a very long time am i hope. but let me make one other point. th

deals in areas like trade in the economy and not allowed to under european union rules you can do deals in areas like defense and security areas over which brussels as far less control of individual members policies so this really is looking to the future really about relations post. nic i lost you there but i think i make out the question is this really about relations between britain and other nations post drags it well yes essentially it is the suspicion is that is that this meeting is as much about defense as it is about diplomacy because as trade talks with the e.u. begin now the most difficult phase of negotiations britain knows that in order to maintain relevance not just in those negotiations but also afterwards is going to have closer ties with key members france of course the upcoming power in the european union politically and further afield so there is perhaps a sort of diplomatic template being created here between britain and the e.u. leaders we may well see this sort of process repeated in the future. press conferences between. the. financial lifelines of being threatened. and. we visit virtua

nato alliance is not a defensive alliance it's an office of alliance that's headed by the united states and which so many more countries now belong to since the fall of the soviet union but turkey despite that expansion continues to occupy a very important place in nato and so again here we have what appears to be a somewhat intractable contradiction between the u.s. interest in syria and the u.s. interest in nato and so this is something that they're trying to find a way out of but it's very difficult given the fact that it was the united states along with turkey saudi arabia france britain which caused the destabilization of syria and led to the present circumstances. conflicts between turkey and kurdish forces in northern syria has caused global loam and triggered mass protests in

hundred billion dollar defense budget which is actually one point one trillion if you break it down so these are all important noises for the president to make the state of the union to sort of shore up support from the defense bloc as it were to chinese it does ring a bit cold war ish to russia however we're beyond cold in terms of the cold war the rhetoric is much more aggressive much more recent for us the agenda is much more pernicious and it's become a centerpiece of u.s. partisan politics the whole russia gate issue. the russian hacking group fund see baz is claiming that the canadian olympic committee positive doping test of its national poll champion prior to the rio olympics early my colleague discussed the details with. well it looks like an eyebrow raising e-mail exchange supposedly between the people from the canadian olympic committee and also their national body that is responsible for sports ethics some pretty disappointing tactics in there it looked like attempts to play down an anti-doping rule violation and some corkey damage control around the summer olympics in rio and here's the athlete at the center of this what can you tell us about him well

strengthening europe in areas like cooperation on security and defense that's already moving forward that is a real step forward for the european union and then on a number of other issues as well and i think that's another reason why that e.q. plank in that position paper is so important as a good point to answer you to the board economic forum starts in davos this week we know that miracle and mccrone both will speak on wednesday. that plane the talking about will be presented there and we know that donald trump at least for the moment is still planning to go even though the government doesn't have any money. and he's speaking on friday so if there is any type of clash we're going to see it in the snow we alps this week when a crane is always thank you very much always a pleasure here the big table with you thank you i want to move on now to other news that we're going to the clash between kurds and turks turkish backed fighters have reportedly entered the northwestern syrian town of afrin the attacks are part of an offensive on kurdish militias that is calling operation all of branch turkey's military says that it has so far struc

and she also talked a lot about the need of the european union to work together in terms of policy especially she talked about foreign policy defense policy finances that absolutely she really works across the whole agenda talking about continuing the banking union the capital market union having the right response of course to brics it which you mentioned a couple of times regretting breaks it saying of course that europe will not compromise on its key principle of freedom of movement but as you say she got to she was much more sort of global in statesman like even than that talking about how important it is for the for the e.u. to have a common foreign policy to be able to send a common united message to countries like china she said specifically how important it is in this globalized world and she even reached a certain statesman like tone i would say that's a little bit unusual for she she said we remember the roman empire and the great wall of china you know even in those days it was important for lauds multinational or global blocs to have good relations with the rest of the world because the other way you end up with isolati

explosive interview from top presidential adviser steven miller appearing on save the union and gave a fiery defense of the president of the united states and blasting former trump strategist steve bannon. here's a quick snippet of that interview. >> it's tragic and unfortunate that steve would make these grotesque comments and so vindictive and the white house staff is deeply disappointed in his comments which were grotesque. >> let's discuss this with my panel. a cnn commentator jack kingston as a commentator and senior adviser to the trump campaign and a cnn historian and director of the nixon presidential library. you first. your reaction to this grew and steven miller and his descriptions of a tell all book and steve bannon's behavior is stepable. >> looking at his demeanor, it was disturbing to watch. to me it was almost like a tyrant's result. this guy is the last person that should be out in front of cameras trying to convince the american people that the white house is stable and the president of the united states is competent and a book like this is supposedly fiction. he is not a credible

so these are all important noises for the president to make the state of the union to sort of shore up support from the defense bloc as it were. that china has already responded to transfer moch saying they reflect cold war thinking would you agree that the president's address was quite aggressive. i think from a chinese to that perspective yes it does ring a bit cold war ish to russia however we're beyond cold in terms of the cold war the rhetoric is much more aggressive much more pursuit for us the agenda is much more pernicious even when the cold war was happening between the u.s. and the soviet union and it's become a centerpiece of u.s. partisan politics the whole russia gate issue unsurprisingly chuck used his address to promote his america first message once again saying the u.s. should maintain its troops overseas to fight terrorists is not quite a shift from his presidential campaign promise that america would no longer be the policeman of the world. yes it might appear to be but this president has made a number of departures. all of his campaign promises more or less in terms of foreign policy in ter

when the soviet union was showing very significant great significant rights of economic growth and the mainstream foreign policy journals were very much kind of writing these defensive narratives to try and explain away why the demonized system was apparently doing so well the propaganda story about communism in the soviet union and russia is a very narrow and misleading one compared to the complex reality that the marks among others did a very good job of explaining in complex and important ways i think one needs to distinguish between the propaganda and the historical reality. or still to come here analogy international law strike by french prison workers turns violent more on that after the break. out all move along what has. gone. on over this that i don't know why the show would be so there are rather just you know the crowds are the foil for a dinner together that. i'm going to let slip out of my next question any question and keep an eye on what i used to lose a child is a tough call that it had. no effect on. then i'm all in funny little bottle it. in my mind and then tell everyone i had enough for. me. to get this whole full place choice to a gun the i'm he

union. the second perspective is more along the line of frank's, often called the defense of realism, which is the idea that, well, you have to be moderate and cautious in power politics because you might scare the other or revoke their emotions and make them upset or humiliated or angry at you. so the idea is cautioned. don't go into power vacuums because you might create a security dilemma spiral. then there is a third perspective which is that, well, yes, power perspectives are right, but you have to worry about future power if you are in decline or if there is a problem of seeing the rise of, say, stalin in 1945. truman is forced by the , toation, just as fdr was surround the other with your power to make sure they can't grow to contain their growth. that might start a spiral, yes, a security dilemma spiral, but it is tragically inevitable. you can't do much about it. i just wonder how this jobs with the two perspectives that you presented, especially with the role of emotion in the second one, which is that you can spark -- theer. emotions other's emotions. frank: you really have to ge

the concession we got was a vote before the state of the union, not just on the number, but on a defense cap. we're up against the bca caps from the 2011 budget control act, otherwise known as sequestration in some cases. so you would look at the ability to break the defense caps and do what we allegedly agree on already. we agree on defense, so let's get that on the floor and move forward, and then continue to negotiate on things we don't agree on. >> that's the long-term outlook you have for defense spending for military spending. some people including the president are saying that a shutdown will have an immediate impact on the troops. it would hurt the troopsight away. you, sir, yesterday morning, on new day, said that was not a particular concern of yours. let's listen. >> it is up to the administration to determine how -- what is essential. and i have confidence that mick mulvaney at omb and president trump would prioritize funding our troops. >> so despite what the president says, congressman, do you want to assuage the fears of maybe men and women in the military, you think they'

when when the soviet union was showing very significant great significant rates of economic growth the mainstream foreign policy journals were very much kind of writing these defensive narratives to try and explain away why the demonized system was apparently doing so well i think one needs to distinguish between the propaganda and the historical realities. twitter has started sending emails to those who might have followed it retreated or lying to suspected russian propaganda accounts during the u.s. presidential campaign twitter estimates almost seven hundred thousand users fall into that category where its message to those uses the social media platform urge them to learn more about the nature of the russian propaganda effort one of those contacted by twitter is political comedian tim young and he told us that liking or retreating shouldn't be considered as propaganda. well i thought it was very interesting getting a letter from twitter because. i never recalled re tweeting or liking something that i would have viewed as russian propaganda to have donald trump elected or or manipulate the election is a propaganda tool if you agree with what you're liking or re tw
