it was a display of allied unity, strength, and allied resolve.roof that nato's door remains open to countries in europe that share our values and that meet the high standards of our alliance. putin thought he could break us apart when this all started. he believed he could break us apart, weaken our resolve. instead he has been getting exactly what he did not want, he wanted the finland-ization of nato but he is getting the nato-ization of finland. finland and sweden are making a sacred commitment in the attack against one is an attack against all. article five of the washington treaty and the very core of our alliance and our allies committed and it is stronger than ever, that commitment. the only time the article five has been in was on 9/11 when the united states was attacked and all of our allies rallied to our side. the united states will never forget that and we will never fail in our pledge to defend every inch of nato. that is why together with our allies we are taking steps to strengthen our deterrence against any threats of aggression t

meanwhile, nato supreme allied commander in europe testified a few weeks ago that our allies need to spend more than 2% just to meet existing ground force requirements, which brings us back to sweden and finland. both countries are longtime nato defense partners and strong opponents of russian imperialism. both occupy important geography. they are also advanced economies with capable military, and i respect all of that. but their admission would also bring distinct challenges. sweden still isn't spending 2% of gdp on defense and doesn't plan to until 2028. finland announced a one-time defense spending boost, but it's not clear whether it will sustain the higher investment, the minimal needed for nato. now, some say we shouldn't worry about any of this some say finland and sweden can defend themselves ant won't require -- won't require anything from the united states or nato allies. if true, why join nato? the truth is both countries wants nato's help defending themselves. that's why they're applying for membership. fair enough. because so many nato allies spent years funding their mi

and the allied forces are hitting the positions of the apu and nationalists. well, the enemy answers. nevertheless, an active counter-battery fight is being carried out on our part. well , then our units are moving forward and driving the enemy further and further back. at the training grounds of the republic, work continues on combat coordination of units, while the infantry is working out the skills of fighting in an urban environment. tankers are training in target shooting in an open area. here, what is called stuffing their hands and reservists and those who already have combat experience. serviceman. soon, the newly formed units will go to the front line in order to strengthen the offensive capabilities of the allied forces alexander belibov. sergey eliseev alexey yaldina. andrei rudenko and oleg bondarenko news from the donetsk people's republic. in patriot park within the framework of the army forum, the first international anti-fascist congress was held, the participants discussed how to preserve the historical truth about the decisive contribution of

, but the allies need to step up. they can't just be allies from a distance. because if the status quo is changing, and you need your allies to call on what might happen, this is what he told us area. the political economy systems in taiwan over a differ from china. it is a consensus in taiwan that people want to preserve the ways of life's democracy, freedom in the events economy. however, china's annexation is looming because it is a sacred mission for them to unified ty, while therefore taiwan scour man is trying to strengthen the self defense capability for the us is very important because research shows that the height of, of it reassure people from partner countries it is also very important for the u as in ice to provide more economic and military resources to deter china from changing the status quo of freight. i'm a little bit cynical about these visitors coming to taiwan here, calling themselves that you are allies. but if china does more than just fly over the taiwanese strike, what will your allies be deal

with allies and partners. particularly the indo pacific, some countries in europe as well , start to see and react and respond and speak up. that is something we have all got to be able to do. >> hello. thank you for coming. my question was about whether you are able to speak to reports the air force is thinking about scrapping units charged with train, advise and assist and whether that is going to go through, or what the status is. >> i had a meeting on that dust a week or so ago. we had a conversation about, what does the budget program need to look like going forward? thinking about the way some of this developed, particularly work and the middle east with the iraqi air force and afghan air force. i gave them a bit of a task to come back to me, because i don't know that has to be the case in the future. there may be some aspects, depending on what country we are working with. the aspect of how many do you need to have, how many individuals do we have to have the expertise, and can they bring along experts,

that's to keep the victory over hitler by his allies.nd as you can see, well, it has just ended, the second world war has not yet begun, even the hostilities against japan in the rear east, and the british have already connected and began to develop, and operations against, uh, the armed forces of the red army and it is significant that she was focused largely on poland, since winston churchill was also for poland turned over most of all great britain in fact, and entered. the war of september 3, 1939 and for poland due to their allied obligations towards poland and the fact that in poland the forces that were allied with the british in many respects were defeated, which the british supported the army of the provinces and other resistance organizations and defeated those forces that supported the soviet union yes, wins was drawn, of course, it would have been bones in the throat, it was clear that it could be done, well, it was impossible just do it in regards. poland that is, it meant that the whole of eastern europe would have to be li

when the allies arrived. the second in command of the french resistance find enemy lines on the most important day ofthe 20th century you haven't heard her name . she was second parachute paratrooper, second female paratrooper ever and very first paratrooper, her name is andrce borrel and she was 22when she parachuted into france . the first female combat paratrooper. andre was completely different where lease is this colonial high-class upper-class, educated parisian, andre leaves school at 14 to meet with a girl at a bakery. but when hitler marched into paris, she marched out. with 16 million other frenchmen she walked south of the demarcation line into france. and volunteered to become a member of the red cross. shetrained as a nurse and while working there she joined the underground . she became part of the underground railroad where she helped get 65 allied airmen of france back to england so that they could continue bombing hitler. g 65 is a high number. the entire underground railroad over the course o

when the allies arrive at 6:00 a.m. june 6, 1944 normandy is isolated.ou cannot get there from anywhere else in france. nineteen or 50 cuts roads in maine bridges all over france set hitler wants to get his reinforcements to the beaches he can't. d-day was not a given. it was never obvious d-day was going to work. having time for the allies to get their foothold, for them to get their supplies on the ground, every moment every battle or change the equation of that victory. it took hitler three weeks for his tank divisions to reinforce the beaches. those were critical three weeks and it all happen because the french resistance but it all happened because the pellets formed the french resistance. they were able to arm because that women were part of thatrt plan. you don't know about it because men history. until now. so with that in mind this was a very fun book to write. not only was it a great meaty story there's no one or worse on earth than a nazi. there is no better story than her was not know about. it was fun and lots of other respects for it is fun

al shabaab is allied to al-oaeda, — group? al shabaab is allied to al-qaeda, and _ group?ied to al-qaeda, and they _ group? al shabaab is allied to al-qaeda, and they have - group? al shabaab is allied to| al-qaeda, and they have been carrying out attacks inside somalia and across the eastern horn of africa. they are believed to be the strongest militant group allied to the al-qaeda group. they control much of central and southern somalia. they have carried out attacks even recentlyjust along the border with somalia and ethiopia. this government initiative, the new president, i would say this was one of his top priorities dealing with this militant group, but this shows this militant group, but this shows this attack shows the strength, the capabilities of the al—shabab group that it will take quite a lot to deal with it, because this insurgency has been going on for the last 15 years, and that is why perhaps the president has asked the international community for support international community for support in dealing with it, notjust tackling them within somalia territory

if allies from other directions help us.ull-fledged surroundings of the next boiler. well, this is a prospect, not yet today, so we are striving for this assault groups. when moving forward the counter-battery fight helps in order to beat the enemy in the area of ​​​​solidarity, the allied forces use reconnaissance strike systems, which make it possible to destroy the personnel of the fortification tanks and other armored vehicles of the formation of the kiev regime with conventional artillery. ammunition works, as a rule, one calculation and one gun, however, the gun has to be pulled directly to the front edge. here's how it works. here is the vaunted british m77 howitzer in the frame. the scouts found their target 155-millimeter gun of the western production by the soviet howitzer hyacin, b. the time from the moment of detection of the target to the impact is minimal. the scouts work side by side, both to the artillery. it is literally nearby. the more reconnaissance and strike complexes at the forefront, the higher the pa

china does not really have any allies. that model for china has not been tested yet.however, we are seeing the chinese move into areas of hard power that were of global just a few years ago when i worked in the white house which was 2005-2007, our reigning assumption was the chinese had no interest in anything to do with a hard power contest with the middle east because that would put them on opposite sides of conflict and they wanted to be ok with everybody. all they want to do is extract resources and trade with the countries of their region. they do not want to be mired with conflicts. increasingly, we are seeing them get into the hard power arena quietly, not in the form the soviet union did in 1956. the option is not there yet as a kind of clear-cut path. but, we are getting a lot closer. i wonder, if you can explain to us, how you think the saudi elite is thinking about that? in particular, with respect to the hard power threat that iran represents to the kingdom. mohammed: i think that is an excellent question. i think your characterization when you are in the

she was really not an ally of general de gaulle.he would not work for the free french for most of the work. she insisted on working only for the british and with the british. de gaulle is famous for once having had said, however is not forming is against me. he considered alliance to be, if not an enemy, he certainly was not happy at all that it was independent in terms of its operations. for that reason, after the reason de gaulle and the free french basically created the image of the resistance, at least for the first several decades after the war. the people they considered to be resistance heroes were the people that went down, at least in the early history, as resistance heroes. marie-madeleine fourcade was not one of them. in november 1940, de gaulle crated an organization, an elite group of those whom he and his friend -- free french move it considered heroes in the struggle of liberation during world war ii. by the end of the world, only 1038 persons were worthy of the honor. of that number, 1038, 1032 were men. we come to t

what they were doing was crucial for the allied cause. much more so than the work of a number of other resistance groups and before i go any further, i want to explain that there were basically three different kinds of resistanceactivities in france . one was the kind you hear about the most common groups which specialized in sabotage andother forms of open rebellion against the nazis . those are the people that the british , special operations executives worked with. the second strand of french resistance ncactivity is has also received considerable attention in books and films. but as exciting and dramatic as their stories are, neither of them played a criticalrole in winning the war . saboteurs and other resistance fighters were certainly importantafter d-day but they did little to obstruct the germans before then . escape networks did harrowing work in smuggling out shot down allied airmen and other servicemen back to freedom but their contributions to history were small. by contrast the third strand lyof activity, espionage was vital

it's not ally's law in california. there's no ally's law. law is they need to give up the dashcam unless it embarrass a criminal investigation. according to ally and the judge, the investigation is over, because they're going to settle is august 23rd. that excuse doesn't fly either, right? >> why wouldn't chp, california highway patrol, after getting the go-ahead from the da, they can release it, why would they still-hide the footage? it stinks? because he handed them a donation card that says i'm a big donor, and can be a bigger donor if this shakes out the way i want? >> absolutely. he donated to this charitable contribution to the chp. if i get pulled over, i'm not thinking where's my 1199 card? i'm thinking, is my daughter okay in the card. here it is. >> jesse: here's my donor card. >> exactly. this is unprecedented in california and in any state, where you have type of damage to a vehicle, too. right? the more we learn, somebody could have been killed. this is not a minuscule matter. somebody could have been killed, and the da, combine

truly allied cooperation of the international army, solidary police, which we act together on the main of the global regional trip to the army 22 hundreds of samples of military equipment, as always there are new bmp-3s with the latest combat module. titmouse 360° view, aimed shooting. any time of the day automated fire remote control. this is now one of the main robotic equipment in the russian military-industrial complex. russia sincerely values ​​historically strong, friendly, truly trusting ties with the states of latin america, asia, africa, and is ready to offer its allies and partners the most modern types of weapons from small arms to armored vehicles and artillery of combat aviation and unmanned aerial vehicles in everything . world they are valued among military professionals. for reliability, quality and most importantly, high. practical efficiency. all were used more than once in real combat operations. of particular interest are promising models and systems that are future-oriented and will determine the future of the armed forces. we are talking about high-precision weapo

i will give you an example of another ally, the french. we did not have a carrier in the middle east. the french carrier filled in for the u.s. carrier under the tactical control of the fifth fleet commander in bahrain. think about of the power of that we can have another ally or partner fill in for you when you have other priorities in the western pacific, mediterranean, red sea. we have other allies and partners that are significant as well the specific. the japanese, south koreans, i mentioned the australians. new zealand, of course, singapore is key for. us in terms of access. . there are a number of. allies and partners that we work with on a daily basis. india, i've spent more time on a trip to india than i have in any other country. i consider them to be a strategic partner for us in the future. the indian ocean battle space is becoming increasingly important to us and quite friendly the fact that india and china currently have a bit of a skirmish along their border -- i think it is strategically importance with respect to india tha

she was really not an ally of the general.he would not work for him in the free french for most of the war. she insisted on working onlyin r the british -- with the britisho whoever is not for me is against me. and so he considered alliance to be not an enemy, certainly was not happyll at all that it was independent in terms of its operations. and for that reason, after the war and the free french basically created the image of the resistance, at least for the first several decades after the war. the people they considered to be resistance here is whereer the people that went down to the early history as resistance heroes and marie madalyn was not one of them. in november 1940 degaulle great organization and elite group of those whom he and his free french movement considered heroes of the struggle for front liberation during world war ii. by the end of the world 1038 persons thought to be worthy of the honor. of that number, 1038 -- 1032 were men pizza becomes the third and most important reason i think she is notat that well

as the allies tacitly accepted the wall. over the years, it was strengthened and came to symbolize what looked to be germany's eternal division. a situation that lasted for 28 years until peaceful demonstrations led to the collapse of the communist system on november 9th, 1989. ah . next stop checkpoint charlie the most famous border crossing here. i mean, susanna mueller of the berlin wall memorial don't. can anybody this page or you can see how huge this quadrant crossing was? it stretched over 2 locks on, had various truck and station asked here yet the allies guard house always retained its provisional form, light, frame construction made from lord or later, a metal container. lots of symbolism and lots of irony. the only thing remaining here to day is a replica of this provisional allied control booth. the g d r is massive. border complex as long gotten had lined lin checkpoint charlie, so famous wine has everybody who comes to berlin heard of it. they love written com, the fake one chinese, like charlie became famous d

they want them, they can get them from some of their allies. it is a concern about terrorist groups and nations using drones against america. host: color from indiana, independent line. caller: thank you very much c-span and i must offer my apologies right off the bat. i am not certain of the topic that you guys are discussing here appeared i just woke up and die wanted to make a comment about the unfortunate visit to taiwan by nancy pelosi. one of the greatest environmental commentators and authors of our lives warned the u.n. security council last year that climate change is a very great threat. he is also remarked that it's a problem that is so vague, is going to require transnational cooperation which we have never seen. those two players won't beat the united states and china. instead of ramping up the tensions and ignoring the one principle, we should be opening scientific technical dialogue so we can unite our strengths and deal with this problem. thank you, and think you c-span. guest: he makes an important point about climate change an

-- full-negligented nato allies.e'll be 22nd, but in record time. everybody knows here, i described this place as a crock pot, it takes a long time to cook something in the u.s. senate. for us to do this, in less than a month, is absolutely extraordinary, and i hope that the people of sweden and finland recognize that that is because the united states senate has full confidence in them. we welcome them readily, and we look forward to their accession, and this step in ratifying the treaty is a great step. madam president, i encourage all of my members to consider voting for finland and sweden. the last thing i'll leave you with, is that there are some here who say we can't really worry about russia. we have to worry about china. we have to worry about both. and nato is worried about both. if you look at the strategic concept out of madrid, you should also recognize there were four countries from indo pacom at a nato sum. they recognize we have to look at china and recognize the threat, but also that we have an immedia

-- a nato ally.t seems to be allowing some very mutual convenience at the moment. >> in istanbul, i want to get your take on turkeys response to the war in ukraine, kind of generally. because as we have said, it has been telling this line or managing this sort of balancing act. >> yes, perhaps the best way to describe, to summarize turkey's position is to state that turkey is being pro ukraine without being anti-russia. what we are seeing is a difficult balancing act. but the way that turkey has so far i think successfully steered its policy in this direction, it was -- they've already alluded to it, turkey has continued to supply drones to ukraine, which have in vital on the battlefield. politically, turkey has been critical of russian aggressiveness. turkey has not recognize the annexation of crimea, so on those political grounds, military keeps on the same page as nato allies. it is caused turkeys strength to be a message of russian warships. at the same time, turkey is the only nato ally not to h

what do you see as the final outcome of putin's war and how can allies change putin's calculus?> we are looking at a longer war and we must look at vladimir putin and russia as what it is. it is a threat to peace and this book -- stability to europe. what he has done in 2014 and now is breaking all the rules we tried to establish is -- and we must stand stronger together within nato and the european union, and other alliances. he must not succeed. that is why denmark is involved in the bark -- all 60 area -- baltic sea area. the countries that have the most soldiers -- in the baltic sea nations. i really think there is only one action to the putin, what we are seeing again and that is unity. a shock answer and i think there -- a strong answer and if we want to defend our values, this is the way? >> to be devils advocate, you said that putin was calculated. perhaps he didn't take heed -- as what was attended -- intended initially but russia has capital best captured portions of the country -- russia has captured portions of the country. some people have said that is a success and

the allied powers signed the potsdam agreement. in it, they split germany into for occupation zones. yet soon, differences emerged between the allies. the british, french, in american sounds, became democratic. while the soviet zone turned into a separate state, east germany the german capital for land was also divided into sectors and lay like an island in the middle of east german territory. but as to many of its citizens were plain to west berlin, east germany decided to strengthen its borders. on august, 13th, 1961. construction of the berlin wall began. it was designed to keep east germans from leaving their country. yet it was the west berliners who found themselves walled in on all sides. but the allies demonstrated their solidarity, including then you as president, john f. kennedy and the world of freedom. the broadest bones did h. b, i'm dealing ah, though it remained a symbolic gesture as the allies tacitly accepted the wall. over the years it was strengthened and came to symbolize what looked to be germany's eternal divi
