mission to nato for secretary albright. she was, for so many of us, a real mentor as well as a friend, a supporter, an incredible counselor. i think we all miss her every single day, but we're also animated by her spirit, her determination, and in many ways animated by her vision of what the united states can be, should be, as well as what this alliance can be and should be. this would be her kind of night. she loved nato, and she made a huge contribution to it. almost exactly 25 years ago -- across the atlantic, at the truman library in missouri -- madeleine formally welcomed poland, the czech republic, and hungary into the alliance, and she quoted an old central european expression to mark the moment: hallelujah.

bandesh wolf, and how many of them were there, who overthrew the father, bush, clinton, baroso, albright morawiecki, sarkozy, chirac, obama, their name is legion, the demons are leaving, and lukashenko and putin are drinking tea with tack. and from here they threaten with adversary, but this is not a threat, but bart sings, following the great sergei alexandrovich, when the stupid enemies have already reached you, it’s so simple, well , listen again, if the holy army shouts, throw russia alive, i’ll say there’s no need for paradise. give me rodzin, give me rodzin, give me rodzin, give me rodzin, give me rodzin. how long has it been since you held a book in your hands and turned the page? behind the page, greedily tasting every word, of all manifestations of human creativity, the most amazing and worthy of attention are books, in books the thoughts of past times live on, the voices of people are heard clearly and distinctly, everything that is humanity. what has been done has been preserved, as if by magic, on the pages of books; by reading , a person relives centuries; reading brings gen

. >> including madeleine albright, exactly.ent donald trump. five months out before the election, how do you think this moment is testing our democracy? >> yeah, it's testing our democracy because there are two ways of looking at our elections. one is the way you did with the secretaries of state, which talk about the mechanics and the systems and what they're doing to make sure things are working, but the other is, which you also talked about, which is the faith and confidence in the system. almost as important as how you organize your early voting or how you count is, "do people believe that an election reflects an honest counting of the votes?" and right now, you have, as you showed in that poll, 35% of americans don't believe that. and that's, i think, the most critical question of our moment right now. >> yeah, i think you're absolutely right about that. amna, pick up on that point. and you also heard my conversation with the secretaries of state, talking about the fact that election workers, that they themselves felt thre

bush, clinton, borough, albright, wieck, kaczynski, morawiecki, sarkozy, chirac, obama, their name is and putin are drinking tea with taunts, and henceforth they are threatening an adversary, but this is not a threat, the abarth sings, after the great, sergei alexandrovich, when is it already up to you?

administrations immediately coming into power, not to mention the fact that his actual student madeline albrightégé, she herself was a representative of the czech republic, she is czech by nationality, she took the post of ambassador to the un under clinton, then. but also politically, you must act as we have prescribed, and there is no other option, yes, that’s all, you can look. can be shown quite specifically how the european union said that the european economy is the economy of the european union, and they are no one else’s, yes, they, it must develop according to our principles, our procedures, that’s all, due to natural reasons, mistakes that were made by soviet leaders, in general - due to the costs associated with existence ideological soviet project, this is an organization. began to crumble, especially since these states still had a slightly different, as they say, background, there is a capitalist, past, active, past associated with integration into european countries other european states and empires that existed there, which is why this identity began to blur at a certain point, th

, well, unlike albright, i think her career of course, it will end much faster if she leaves it, i hopemportantly of georgia, will they be able to defend their country, yes molik, well, this is a good question. there will be parliamentary presidential elections in the fall, and she herself has already announced that, yes, she is not going to run, but will, as it were , become the face of this western-centric, westernized part of georgia, which as a matter of fact, they go to rallies, and you need to understand that indeed, of course , in any case, the georgian dream wins these elections, yes, but those who are now speaking out, holding rallies, they have no real chance of winning in the elections, then there is no way they can come to power through legitimate means; in fact, i think that this escalation of the situation is, to some extent, also a gesture of desperation. in europe, it’s as if they will be blocked from entering there and sending money back, it’s also kind of an unpleasant story that ivanishvili does, yes, what the georgian dream does, sends his prime minister hayrakl kaba

i don't say that to date you in any way, but you look great. >> including mad lit albright. >> exactlyu have just written a book about former president donald trump five months out before the election. how much do you think this moment is testing our democracy? >> there are two ways of looking at our elections. one is the way you did with the secretary of state, which is you talk about the mechanics and the systems and what they're doing to make sure things are working. the other thing you talk about is the faith and confidence in the system, almost as important as how you organize your early voting or how you count is do people believe in the election reflects an honest counting of votes? what you show is 35% of americans don't believe that. that's the most critical question of the moment right now. >> you're absolutely right. anna, pick up on that. you say election workers, they themselves felt threatened back in 2020, felt real fear for their families in this part of erosion and faith. >> absolutely. we know federal and state elected officials have faced an increase in threats. wome

force of lobbyists in the united states, including from among them. his actual student madeline albrightative of the czech republic, she is also a czech nationality, she took the position of un ambassador under clinton, then secretary of state, becoming one of the most influential and active comrades of the new leader; they were certainly actively influenced by ethnic lobbyists, as, in principle, by lobbyists of the military-industrial complex, for whom the involvement of these countries in nato was beneficial from a financial point of view. to other european states and empires that existed there, which is why this identity began to blur at a certain point. the question is not only about the organization of the warsaw pact, but in general about system of socialist countries, what was called a new type of international relations, it really was a new type. but he had weak material resources, and this affected the relationship; in addition, let’s say, we also had economic integration within the framework of the economic integration council, but the mechanisms of this integration also turned

alliance's 50th anniversary, a daughter of prague, my friend, predecessor, and mentor madeleine albrighteminded us " when we stand together, no force on earth is more powerful than our solidarity on behalf of freedom." that conviction was reinforced for me today but what i heard from all of our allies and i can tell you it will be further reinforced when we come together in washington. that is the truth of the last 75 years and i want to make sure it is true for the next 75. for the first question we will go to reuters. reporter: good afternoon, mr. secretary. i have two questions. one on ukraine and one on gaza. the biden ukraine to strike targets inside russia to defend kharkiv. do you leave the door open for this decision to be expanded to other cities and targets that are deeper inside russia? since it took the biden administration a while to make this decision, i am wondering, do you think you were too cautious or was their assessment on the possibility of vladimir putin using tactical nuclear weapons been shifted? you want to set of humanitarian aid going into gaza dropped by two t

civilians gathered in the center of the city of i'm to start in northern india, seeing these as albright defiance. general reginald dyer gave the order to open fire on the on arms people's barbaric execution claimed the lives of at least $379.00 indians. including 40 children, the youngest of who was 6 weeks old. the indian national congress considered the official figures to be underestimated and announced the death of more than $1000.00 civilians. the well known greatest newspaper, the morning post called dyre, the man who saved india gave him a sword and 26000 pounds sterling as a token of gratitude for the massive.

the kissinger um, you know, madeline albright, i mean, well, whoever gets in that position does exactly what this guy is doing. why is that? a steve part of the job, i guess they're, they're trying to make sure that they're promoting whatever agenda that they're facing as even if it's, if it's nonsense, i think it's particularly ironic that she's leading the fight to pause weapons. there is real because of collateral damage and does up but sending weapons to ukraine that are killing innocent men, women and children ins on that's getting very awful and done bad. they don't see any connection between weapons being used in that context and delay weapons to israel. and then the idea that we are withholding intelligence information from is real so that they could target the boss leaders as, as, as our greatest ally, as joe biden says, nothing disguised as is, as was pointed out, is ever true to find if i want to know how much he got in his tip, jarvis land, and i don't think he don't good enough to cover a bigger box. and he was narrow in that moment. i love that video. i showed it earlier t
