big issue for the alliance, the alliance's relationship with russia. this isn't to say russia has a veto on membership, but there is a significant number of allies that believe the priority should be getting nato's relationship with russia right with a balance between deterrence and dialogue before adding more members. we are missing the third criteria, consensus. worse than the current situation where georgia is not a member is the situation where the alliance launches into this effort towards membership but is unable to reach consensus. and therefore makes very public the divide within the alliance. i think we are in a time of consolidation among the 30 current members while we work out nato's relationship with russia. that would move us well into the other two questions. extendingch is membership to mexico. when i had the discussion with i was like that one seems a bit further to me then georgia. i would like to bring in ambassador pierce. this was very much directed towards bringing in the population of the united states to feel that nato is doing

who's been ncovering the alliance -- jourl who's been covering the alliance for 14 years, and most of what i do is hound them for new ideas to you about, so i'm very grateful to the atlantic council to come up with some of those ideas from the outside. and i'm also grateful to be able to be hosting this series which i hope you will check out nato 20 20, we're going to have an episode for each idea. and asch chris mentioned, we're going to be hearing from six of those young authors today to be joined byyo a panel of luminari. joining me here is ambassador dame karen pierce, british ambassador to the united states and author of one of our, one of our ias herself, modernize the kit and the message. the assistant secretary general for public diplomacy at nato, ambassador doug luke who used to be here in brussels serving as the u.s.word to nato, he is now a senior fellow at the harvard senior center and board director at the atlantic council and the director of transatlantic defense and security at the center of free european policy analysis. and very grateful to all of you for joining us

the people came out with its own proposal for a global alliance. this has opened democratic societies and market economies. the eu and the u.s. agree on the strategic challenges presented by china's growing assertiveness, even if we don't always agree on the best way to address this. and this encompasses everything from climate to our differences on primacy and big tech. we do believe this could be as important as the end of world war i and world war ii in terms of shaping the global future together with partners allies. the atlantic council ease in the forefront of thinking of the values that should guide democracies in the 21st century. in 2019, the atlantic council had at nonpartisan cochaired by hadley andsteve madeleine albright and released seven core principles to guide nations that could be the basis of such a charter. we will conclude today's events with a panel on global risks, looking ahead to the challenges and opportunities facing the biden administration, as well as u.s. allies and partners abroad. this week, the atlantic council scop

teri schultz reports that may have helped the alliance.porter: nato trains for defending itself and plenty of hostile environments. but trump's politics presented a new challenge for the alliance, attacks from within. >> germany as a captive of russia. reporter: trump set the tone on his first visit to headquarters on nato. pushkin to -- push came to shove immediately in more ways than one. >> he prepared remarks prepared by his staff. he was supposed to recommit to nato's article five mutual defense calls. and he deliberately avoided doing that. reporter: at what was meant to be some reflection, trump focused on spending. >> many of these nations all massive amounts of money from past years. not paying in those past years. >> he sent aignal which even though he laterid say the magic words after a lot of coaching and coaxing, that signal was out there. reporter: those magic words, all for one and one for all, nato's bedrock, but hard for trump to say. the one he tends to focus on is himself. >> because of may, they have raised about $40 bi

no formal alliances. but then in the '30s when the depression hits and roosevelt -- we cannot -- just have to look inward right now. so they -- roosevelter to pea to the london economic conference, an attempt for an internationalist approach to the depression, and so really up until i would say the fall of france, in 1940, when people really began to worry in the administration. we're just out of it for those ten years. s to that sound right? >> yes. i think you're spot on in the sense that the '20s, the u.s. practiced what i call in the book borrowing a term from an historian, christopher knick koles, isolationist internationalism in the sense that the u.s. was internationalists bus it continued to be involved commercially, continued to essentially conduct diplomacy through wall street. wall street was in europe and in east asia, trying basically to run the world through investment and trade. the other thing that occurred in the 1920s there was a new multilateralism and naval arms control that interestin

we do that best with global alliances, not going alone. and i really believe that this is not a bipartisan politics. we should do it with republicans and with muscularity and determination to confront russia and china and rogue nations everywhere we find them. >> laura: when you say to confront russia and china, russia's economy -- last time i checked it's about the size of france? china has a larger a standing army than ours. china is poised to overtake the u.s. economy, no doubt about it. but in russia and china in the same plane -- that seems outdated. >> i don't think so. they have a military alliance. >> laura: right, which is why we needed a stronger relationship than russia. >> they are building alliances against us which we must confront. forget obama. >> laura: still waiting for that the russian reset. >> look -- >> laura: we have to roll, but i love your feed. "the ingraham angle" has breaking news on all that next. ♪ >> laura: have you seen this list so far? the list of top nominees is already the who's who of establishment retr

the prokt was financed out of the alliance for progress operation. mrs. kennedy visited a group of young children at a school. in keeping with the holiday season they exchanged gifts. when mrs. kennedy was about to leave, all protocol was abandoned. >> palm beach, florida, where president kennedy's father laid seriously ill of after a stroke. while his condition was critical for some days, he showed improvement as the president's first year ended. the president returned to washington in jan. it is a second state of the union message. he spoke of conditions at home and outlying the nation's goals abroad. >> a peaceful world community with free and independent states. some may change forms and way that's we would not choose ourselves, but it is not for us that they are choosing. we can welcome diversity that the communist cannot. we offer a world of choice. and it shows clearly that freedom, not coercion, is the way of the future. at times our goal has been endangered by crisis. the moral and physical strength of the united states, the united strength of th

there has been a lot of things going on and it does put the alliance in jeopardy, so it is importanten joe biden comes in, that these sanctions will get the turks back to the table and maybe move away from buying russian equipment. >> you could use these particular sanctions as leverage against turkey but many are concerned that this is something that could have far-reaching consequences to the point that it could even affect the nato alliance itself. >> you are this is where i -- you are right. this is where i differ from my colleague. there is a direct affect on the institutions, the actors targeted explicitly under the sanction, then you have a deterrence effect. all the other actors in that business, in this particular case, the different sector will be deterred from doing business with their turkish counterparts for fear of having primary or secondary effects of the u.s. sanctions. we should not underestimate the weight of the sanctions and the fact that they have been written by the congress. this is not an executive order which can be changed with one pen, this has been voted

this has been our issue in the korea alliance in the past four years. one of the first things is to get those things done. i think there were good negotiations that took place. as you put it in the past, mark, it is low hanging fruit, and we should get those done so we can send the signal that we are ready to focus more on the bigger strategic issues. on the india-china relationship, that is one i am quite worried about. that is a relationship where there aren't really strong established patterns of cooperation, established patterns of interaction, not cooperation -- just interaction in terms of dispute resolutions. no institutions through which to filter some of these conflicts. it is like the west combination of things, i mean, the chinese see the indians as a proxy for us. pakistan sees us as a proxy for china. a bad situation. that is where we have to focus quite a bit of attention for us to prevent miscalculations or unintended practices. mark: i will always look out for low hanging fruit my kids love apples and grapes so i get what i can. you.over

more to participate do more in terms of spending another effort to to pull their weight and our alliance structure that the nato allies agreed to spend 2 percent of gross domestic product on the fence by 2024 many of them are close to it and aren't going to make it i think that's a real problem and i think it hurts in the domestic american circles when we can say our allies really are carrying their fair share of the bird but i see this as a problem in having a weakening effect on the alliance which i would like to see stronger as trump in this totally transactional way of his i think would would not shed a tear if nato disappeared if you told forces out of south career japan and just generally reduced america's presence in the world now thank goodness we're not going to find out whether my fears are correct here he did lose the election that is to me as clear as can be and we will have i been ministration which is which doesn't make me happy either but at least we're not going to risk further damage to the alliance structures around the world that we have because it trumps. look i know

last ditch efforts to pass the budget had failed there was no way forward for the fragile reeling alliance. of unfortunately we were unable to find enough common ground to prevent another round of elections and enable the 23rd can assert and its members to exercise the mandate given to us we are all going to face a difficult and looking campaign and i call on each and every one of us and each and every israeli citizen to refrain from exacerbating tensions prime minister benjamin netanyahu his popularity has sank over the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic he's also facing a corruption case which fuel divisions with netanyahu his coalition partner as well as within his party a faction recently breakaway but if it's an inconvenient time for the governing coalition to collapse netanyahu didn't show it and we are against elections the wrong decision by the party but if an election is forced upon us i promise you that we will vent analysts say prime minister netanyahu may be confident as the political landscape has changed in the past 3 years he is certainly very weak much weaker

well during his 4 years at the white house donald trump has undone deals and splintered alliances like no other u.s. president before him when trump finally does leave the white house joe biden says he wants to redefine the u.s. position on many issues from the paris climate accord to its place at the u.n. washington's tone towards nato also shifted dramatically under the trumpet ministration but as teri schultz finds out that may have actually helped the alliance. nato trains for defending itself in plenty of hostile environments the president trumps politics sometimes presented a new challenge for the alliance attacks from within germany is a calculus for trying to set the tone for his relationship with nato on his 1st visit to headquarters push came to shove immediately in more ways than one. in his remarks. he was supposed to recommit. and he deliberately avoided doing at what was meant to be a somber reflection on solidarity with memorials to $911.00 and the berlin wall trump focused on allies low defense spending many of these nations oh massive amounts of money from past years a

of those alliances. interactions in the key institutions of matter to the welfare of the american people. and in general, disengagement from the world. and all the makes it harder, grow government to protect the american people. to defend our people in a warmer threats are constantly evolving. their adversaries are constantly adapting. and rebuilding the full set of our instruments of foreign policy and national security is a key challenge is a vice president elect harris and i will face upon taken office freighted starting with our diplomacy. today, we heard from the leaders of the state in usc review teams, about the critical early investments that we will need to make in our diplomacy. in our development efforts in a rebuilding of our alliances. to close the ranks of our partners, the full benefits of our shared strengths to the market people. we consider that most of daunting tracks of our time, we know the meeting them it requires american engagement and leadership. but also, none of them can be sol

it they just just forwards the force the alliance alliance with with massasoit. massasoit's and and bradford determines that. bradford determines that they need to go visit massasoit in his home in pocan oaken. so he sends out a delegation including edward wins low will be will become massasoit's best friend among the pilgrims and stephen hopkins, a stranger who appears to be in jamestown prior to boarding the mayflower. he had some experience with the native americans. by this time squanto is still alive and he goes with him walking the hard pack native trails, at that crisscross new england at this point. 45 minute walk from plymouth the pocan oaken. they head out walking, these trails, they just left the settlement when they come across a group of native americans who have been collecting harbor a lobsters in plymouth harbor. they begin to talk. as they conversed with their new companions, the englishman learned that to walk across the land in southern new england was to travel in time. all along this narrow trail were secular foot deep holes in the ground tha

and nato and the alliance will benefit from our potential membership. my question to you is that membership is not that easy to -- it's not based on quantitytive measures. it's also a political decision. how do we deal with this need for a political, brave decision? >> thank you, thank you a lot. and first of all, let me express our apologies for not having today the deputy prime minister. she was really looking forward to this event. but unfortunately, due to some present situations, she had to be at one very important meeting. we are very sorry for this, but i am very grateful to all of you, to all the experts, especially to the german marshall fund for organizing this event. and especially we are grateful to experts who provide their recommendations and very solid analysis of ukraine and georgia contribution to the atlantic security. and their role in the euro atlantic security architecture. so it's very important for us, for the government, and i hope that nato and reflection group also will take into account their recommendations. i know that the u

they've just forged the alliance with massasoit. and bradford determines that they need to go visit massasoit in his home in pokanoke. so he sends out a delegation including edward winslow, who had become massasoit's best friend, and steven hopkins, who appears to have been in jamestown prior to boarding the mayflower and had experience with the native americans. squanto is still alive and he goes with them walking the hard-packed native trails that criss-crossed new england at this time. it's about a 45-mile walk and they head out. they head out. there's no horses yet, so they're walking these trails and they've just left the settlement when they come across a group of native americans who have been collecting lobsters in plymouth harbor and they begin to talk. they learn that to walk across the land in southern new england was to travel in time. all along this narrow, hard-packed trail were circular foot deep holes in the ground that had been dug where any remarkable act had occurred. it was each person's responsibility to maintai

it plays in maintaining stability and deterring aggression and defending and supporting critical alliances around the world, including in the asia pacific, in europe, and around the world. i fervently believe that, as you have had said before, sir, that america is strongest when it works with its allies. over the years, i have worked hand in hand with our diplomatic colleagues and partners around the globe, and witnessed firsthand what we're able to accomplish together. so, if confirmed, i look forward to resuming this important work. my career has taught me something else equally fundamental to who we are as a nation. when i concluded my military service four years ago, i hung up my uniform for the last time and went from being general lloyd austin to lloyd austin. it is an important distinction and one that i make with utmost seriousness and sincerity. so i come to this new role as a civilian leader, with military experience to be sure, but also with a deep appreciation and reverence for the prevailing wisdom of civilian control of our military. i recognize that being a member of the pre

, and he would forge an alliance. there were other factors at work. member squanto? squanto, heed about was still a generous interpreter who took the pilgrims by the hand and top and taught them how to plant corn. turns out he had an agenda of his own from the very beginning. squanto was born right here in plymouth harbor, known as patuxent to the native americans. just a few years before the arrival of the pilgrims, he was abducted biting was explored, made his way back to europe, and will eventually end up in london, where he learned the english language. it would return to his native home as the interpreter of yet another english explorer and find patuxent empty of people and at some point, he began to see this as a possible opportunity. squanto had envisioned to become the next because he realized that if ever there should be a significant english settlement in this area, he would be in a unique position. -- what tell nasa s he wanted them to think the english were saying, and he could tell the indians what he wan

we need to be building alliances, not breaking them apart.tration is wanting to rekindle western resolve, reenergise an international alliance and take on our adversaries, like russia and china, and here we are actually arguing with a close military european ally. the eu has sent its own message in the final hours of the talks, with leaders rejecting boris johnson's attempts to meet them individually, a public show that they are sticking together as one. the uk has already left the eu. the next few hours will decide exactly what happens next. helen catt, bbc news. let's talk to lord bilimoria, president of the confederation of british industry, an independent life peer in the house of lords. good to speak to you again. thank you for being with us. in the light of the different announcements that we re of the different announcements that were made last week about trade involving northern ireland, will much change for british companies on the ist of january, even much change for british companies on the ist ofjanuary, even if much change for br

alliances in the region. i'm a soldier in the foreign policy program at brookings and i have the pleasure of introducing today's keynote speaker who we aree so honored o have with us, senator tammy duckworth. senator duckworth probably needs no introduction to most of you watching. she is an iraq war veteran, a purple heart recipient, former assistant secretary of the u.s. department of veterans affairs and napa yes, senator for the state of illinois. for both of us working in our security, certainly for those of us who are women in national security, when you think about people who are breaking down barriers ahead of you, store duckworth is the top of the list when the first handful of women in the army to fly combat missions during operation iraqi freedom cup first u.s. senator to give birth while in office, and particularly relevant to today's event the first's member of congress was born in thailand and the first asian-american who was elected to congress from the state of illinois. in addition to the wor

there's no doubt about the shock not this is not good for the nato alliance but the conflict between you not and states and turkey has been grueling or a while the trumpet ministration was very upset when we partnered with the turkish group called the wife teaches to drive isis i don't rock and out and out of syria and then the turks equated the wind p.g. took a peek at k. which is a terrorist group trying to overthrow the government and so it has made it more difficult for those people who are willing to fight and die to do the job defeat isis similarly in libya after nato went in to get rid of gadhafi and would put in another government the turks backed general haifa and you know his attempt to well undermined the u.n. and nato recognized the government the charts also glenny and chart to show american pastor for an attempted coup against up there to whine when he had no role at all so there's been a lot of things going on and it does put the alliance in jeopardy so it's important i hope that what biden said that the sanctions will get the turks back to the table and maybe who what

so when that invasion comes, it's an important moment in the alliance.nd churchill sends messages to stalin about the landings that they got established and about the beachhead developing. it's several days before stalin replies and i think churchill began to get anxious. stalin was kind of checking what reports he got. and then he gets this message. i have also your message of the 10th of june. i thank you for the information. as is evident, the landings conceived on a grandiose scale have succeeded completely. my colleagues and i cannot but admit that the history of welfare knows no other undertaking from this, from the point of view of a -- its scale, it's conception and it's mastererly execution. as is well known, knnapoleon failed. he boasted for two years that he would affect a landing -- a crossing on of the channel was unable to make up his mind even to hint at attempting to carry out his threat. only our allies have succeeded in realizing with honor this grandiose plan of the forcing of the channel. history will record this deed as an achievemen
