are promising to play a game of nuclear chicken and if russia decides to challenge us on behalf of estonia and on behalf of latvia i think that's part of the reason we have this robust nuclear forces to credibly extend deterrence to allies. where the allies come in those we have this big we are sharing arrangement at nato to strategic forces. we have 200 or so gravity bombs deployed on the territory of nato allies. other allies have dual capable aircraft so aircraft that delivers either nuclear or conventional weapon. if we got into a major war with russia and the policy in the cold war that the allies could deliver a nuclear weapon. it would increase the credibility of deterrence and make the russians understand it's not just your president who might decide to use nuclear weapons but maybe european allies have been independent ability to use a nuclear weapon but also sharing a component that nato allies are participating. that will likely continue going forward as the allied powers are in the early stages of acquiring nuclear-capable aircraft to replace the aging tornadoes and other thing

how can you get a country like estonia miles away from any external borders to take people in. that is the difficult persuading game. >> can we talk about a more compassionate and humane policy if the e.u. can't even reach deal? >> if she can't reach a deal in the next two weeks i think only thing that is really left is for her to try to forge an alliance between different like-minded states append try the solve the question of border protection an distribution. because otherwise it will be politically difficult. it is not clear what she wants to do the next two weeks because there are conflicting reports. >> we will see. gentlemen, thank you very much. u.s. president donald trump has responded to the political turmoil surrounding the migration issue in germany and europe with a tweet. he tweeted the people of germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous berlin coalition. crime in germany is way up. big mistake made all over europe allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture. but trump's twe

and, we saw that very clearly when russia attacked estonia through botnets in 2007. a second proposal is to enhance the effectiveness of the foreign agents restriction act, by given authorities though she suspected proposal is to enhance the agents to turn over records that show whether they are or are not acting on behalf of foreign interests. a proposal is to consider an altogether statute that specifically addresses this threat. although as you discussed in the earlier panel, these statutes provide a basis for prosecuting much of the russian misconduct we saw in 2016, congress should consider crafting a statute that specifically targets foreign interference in election activities, thereby highlighting both our severity of this threat and condemnation of such activity, as well as providing prosecutors a tool that can be directly and effectively used against these influence campaigns, which will become only more prevalent and insidious as our editors continue to hone their skills and use new technologies for subversive purposes. another proposal in the lessons learn

>> is there a specific focus area but they are more interested in potential actions like latvia, estonia, those areas or is there focused more towards syria? >> if you look at the new editions before ukraine is when the process started. it's one of six or seven divisions. most of them are located near the ukrainian border, south i pay less attention to what they are saying that what they are doing and putting things, so if you look at the ground forces, one would say that the focus is in the military district and alondistrict andalong the borded belarus. so it is a forecasted area of instability is what i would say that tells me in terms of other forces we haven't seen that kind of revision in terms of the navy or air force's. they are due to get quite a bit larger but that is across russia and not necessarily with one particular region and the baltics of course. i want to thank you for coming in and speaking into thin you were talking about how the best option in a war with nato would be a surprise attack. what would be the best way to force them into a long war where the advantages cou

for example, in estonia, despite a large russian ethnic population and near constant barrage of kremlin sponsored media, moscow's messaging is finding fewer footholds an it did 10 years ago, when russian influence caused riots in the center of the capital. this is probably because the estonian government is conducting proactive outreach to the russian population including russian language, educational, and media initiatives. similarly in ukraine, since 2014, there has been a growing demand for media literacy training. in response, american ngo trained 15,000 people in critical thinking, source evaluation, and emotional manipulation. the program measured a 29% increase in participant to double check the news they consume. while both countries battle with russian interference and they are far from finished, the long-term investments will be the future cornerstone of their democracies. solutions based responses to election interference are not a panacea. they must work in concert with structural measures, designed to protect our institutions. so far, they have been all but absent from our

lithuania, latvia, and estonia.spending by 20% last year, romania by 50%, according to the stockholm international peace institute. what do all these countries have in common? well, they're all pretty vulnerable to a giant provocator next door. russian provocations in and around the baltic sea are real and constant. the change for this region came when russia annexed crimea. that was a wake-up call for its neighbors, many of which had been cocooned in a post cold war calm. and its success in crimea and ukraine only emboldened russia. sweden and finland, neither of which enjoy the protection of nate membersh-- nato membership complained of russian incursions in their air space in recent years. nato says russian air traffic next to neighbors' air space has increased by close to 70%. in 2013, russia simulated a nuclear attack against sweden, according to nato, and russian fighter planes have lately been flying dangerously close to american aircraft in the region. and then there are the war games. in september, russia c

estonia, slow vac republic, finland are outliers in terms of how much paid maternity you get. do you know how much you gut get in the united states? not even on the chart. it is a zero. papua new guinea and somewhere else are the only countries that don't require maternity leave other than the united states. president trump called for paid maternity leave during after taking office in january. we still don't have any. we can get up to 12 weeks unpaid leave to care for a new child. this only actually applies to full-time workers at companies with 50 or more employees. lot and lot and lot and lots of americans have no claim to paid or unpaid leave. the family and work institute says 58% of companies do provide some form of paid leave for new moms. another key difference between the united states and other countries is child care. the oecd, the organization for economic cooperation and development. short form for developed countries says fems in member nations spend an average of 15% of their income on child care. here in the united states it's 25.6%, making this the second large

of 1944, olson is focused on a very hazardous plan to rescue refugees from latvia, lithuania and estonia by water. he would need, he wrote, quote: the most skillfully organized type of underground operations because the baltic countries are now virtually sealed to everything. he thought they might be able to rescue 5-700 racial, religious or political refugees from each country. the war ref i few gee board paid for this project directly out of funds from roosevelt, but they realized that such a large deposit in a swedish bank would be suspicious, and they wanted to avoid any impression that the u.s. was funding unregulated refugee arrivals in sweden. even the swedish jews, olson wrote, quote: are very interested in jewish relief and rescue operations so long as they don't involve bringing them to sweden. so john paley, who had been tasked with keeping money out of the hands of the enemy, decided to sneak olson's funds past the swedish government and people. and at his urging, at paley's urging, the staff at goodyear tire in their headquarters in akron, ohio, agreed if the board transferr

from your studies in other countries about russian disinformation, we have the estonia example, where it was diminished by a government outreach to its citizens. in ukraine, fake news was spread by russia. civil society groups launched factchecking. so in terms of equipping citizens to fight foreign election meddling, what approach has your research led you to believe might be effective in our country? >> it has to be a whole holistic approach, senator. and that's an excellent question, because it's not just about media literacy or teaching people to second-check sources. it's about critical thinking and engaging in discourse and debate, which i think, sadly, the social media has polarized us so much that we're not doing any more. so it's about building these critical thinking and also more stuff like that happening in our schools, but also for adults, as well. understanding of the system is integral to trust in government. >> okay. senator klobuchar. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. thank you, these are excellent witnesses, mr. chairman. i want to thank you. and i'm glad that th
