>> on this >> let me get my thanks to the atlantic council.nna for opening, to you for moderating. and for the council just commemorating the anniversary. and as we go forward to the summit, this summer, hosted by the united states. so what are some of the challenges and accomplishments? let's not take it for granted. in mentioned -- ian mentioned we were the first to sign the north atlantic treaty. what was the question about expansion and enlargement? there were many debates and discussions about it. by the way, if you asked me in my lifetime, what i have expected defend land or sweden to become members? no, i really wasn't sure that what happened in my own lifetime, and here we are. it's not just only the expansion of those core members, but also, if you look in terms of the number of the nato nonmembers across the globe, which is also a very significant attachment and investment to the very purpose of the alliance as you laid out. one was the whole question of enlargement itself, which has i think forward rather thoughtfully and strategica

the atlantic council did sponsor a letter, which was nonpartisan.licans, democrats, independents who came together and basically wrote in the letter how this summit provides the opportunity to formally and actively begin the accession process. i was one of the signatories. there were many others who were signatories to this. specifically, i think the summit has to highlight that issue. and in a way which isn't going back to bucharest. it moves from bucharest and certainly moves on from vilnius. the signal that it sends is an imperative one. you mentioned deterrence. that is crucial in terms of sending a signal about deterrence relative to ukraine and in its fight for its own sovereignty, it's virtual independence and freedom from russian aggression. on that one, definitely, i think there has to be clarity. u.s. leadership on this. and a way in which we move forward very directly. i know there are going to be challenges to this, of course there are. not all the countries are embracing this approach. but to me, between now and then, this is something

y view of the atlantic council. i'm pleased to serve as moderator for our fireside chat on the importance of supporting ukraine head of the washington summit. welcome back from your break here after headquarters. and just so you know, the ukrainian ambassador cannot only make policy suggestions, , was also made a very big policy change your atlantic council. she likes these caps. we are now going to offer all important people were on our panels, and maybe even know people on our panels, a cup from the atlantic council. so that's a great innovation. and thank you for that suggestion. and so the government of norway and ukraine will not walk away from this session empty-handed. this year's event comes during milestone year for the lines as new celebrants 75 years of collective defense. next week at atlantic council have our distinguished leadership awards. one of the awardees will be the romanian president. one will be gina raimondo, , the commerce secretary, the famous actress michelle yeoh from everywhere, everythin

provisions on euro-atlantic integration and accession were introduced into the military doctrine. continued by the third president of ukraine, viktor yushchenko. under him, ukraine requested to join the action plan to prepare for nato membership. but at the summit in bucharest that same year, this issue was postponed. germany and france. in july 2010, power changed in ukraine. the verkhovna rada, at the suggestion of the new president, viktor yanukovych, adopts a law on non-bloc status. from all government documents, as well as from the law on the fundamentals of domestic foreign policy, words about the desire for nato membership were removed. all that remains is the annual cooperation program with the alliance, the participation of ukrainian aviation in the transportation of goods in kosovo, afghanistan and iraq. after the coup d'etat in 2014 , ukraine returned to the course of rapprochement with nato. in september 2015, a new edition was published. it is confirmed by president vladimir zelensky, elected in april 2019. after the start of a special military operation, the alliance

alliance - the atlantic alliance, to give us anti-aircraft systems, to give us more weapons, althoughll, they themselves say that the post-war world has passed to the pre-war one, and this should be certain for them too... well, that's the point a huge mistake, because in the world already in martial law, they overslept the beginning of this martial law and they overslept, let me remind you of 2007, when putin actually very clearly spelled out all his plans, which he is going to implement. after 2007, i don't want to take up time now, you will remember how many events. happened, starting with the way british citizens were poisoned here by a strange coincidence of circumstances on the territory of great britain, how cyberattacks took place on certain countries, how russia interfered in elections in certain countries, all this happened, and it is part of a big global war, just nato until now... nato and certain representatives of the west until now, you know, it seems that they are sitting somewhere under the table and do not feel reality, that is, they do not understand that the war wa

valentin, when the moment will come, when the moment will come, when the north atlantic alliance andour western allies will say, listen, russia must be defeated, no need, as they say, no need to support ukraine. so that it is not defeated, that is, not to say that ukraine can or cannot be defeated, but that we must destroy putin's russia, because it threatens not only ukraine, but the whole world. mr. serhiy, let's decipher, let's decipher stoltenberg's words. in fact, the nato secretary general says absolutely in the top ten, right? the only thing behind it, yes, well, let's go in order, yes, in order, first, he says about e. a possible rapid offensive, this rapid offensive, which could really happen at the end of may, early june, it depends on the results china's negotiations with the french, with the germans, this is such a situation, but maybe, maybe, but it will not be ready, i am absolutely convinced that the personnel and equipment will be completely empty, or rather, will not be completely ready for implementation. a successful strategic offensive operation, but russia is blu

the discussion was hosted by the atlantic council. >> good morning and welcome to the atlantic council for today's event, a back to business birthday, priorities for the nato summit in washington. the north atlantic alliance turned 75 in april and there is much to celebrate. the alliance is larger and more united than ever before. addition of finland and sweden, the adoption of a new defense plan and after decades, allies have ramped up defense spending in support of ukraine and in recognition of the mounting russian threat. these causes for celebration, however, are juxtaposed with a deteriorating security environment including russia's illegal war of aggression against ukraine and a collection of unfinished business from last year' summit. so securing the future of the most successful alliance will require this year's summit to be one of implementation. in july nato will be expected to take action for the underequipped industrial base , reinforce the eastern flank and demonstration of plans for , new challenges including respond the area responsibility. how will these issues feature

from the atlantic council. as the united states and europe works towards a more common approach to their shared interests in the indo-pacific, you would think a strategy should have multiple elements, an economic dimension, ecological dimension and perhaps a military dimension. what do you envision that military dimension including? and is there a role for it in nato, particularly in light of the fact that many of our european allies actually contribute forces and have a very active presence in the indo-pacific. it may not be huge, but it is there. so it makes imminent sense to me as part of a comprehensive strategy towards our interests in the indo-pacific, there are to be a more robust military dimension. nato would be the natural home for it. maybe we ought to be thinking more aggressively, more ambitiously when it comes down to leveraging the capabilities needed can bring to the region in terms of military exercises and such. panelist: it's almost like he is reading my talking points from a couple of years

[dramatic music] the titanic was considered unsinkable because it had these watertight compartments sort of, like, an ice cube tray. you fill one cube compartment in an ice cube tray, it doesn't flow into the next one until it rises high enough. oren liebermann: the titanic was built with 16 watertight compartments. this was revolutionary for its day. so everyone believed that this was one of the safest ships ever built. don lynch: you have the largest ship in the world. it's on its maiden voyage. i seem to recall that it was 883 feet long. don lynch: which is like three football fields, which was enormous. tim maltin: she was several stories high. she had 11 decks in total. don lynch: i believe it w

mr morison argues that the north atlantic pact is a defensive pact, that it does not pursue goals ofion. that, on the contrary, it is directed against aggression, if this is true, then why did the initiators of this pact not invite the soviet union to take part in this pact, why did they isolate themselves from the soviet union, why did they conclude it behind their backs in secret from the ussr? hasn’t the ussr proven that it knows how and wants to fight against aggression, for example, against hitler’s and japanese aggression. the image of an enemy was vital to the west and the soviet union was ideal. for conducting negotiations with the ussr. pawn the foundations of the military bloc did not hesitate to invite professionals, that is, former wehrmacht generals. erich vonmannstein, who commanded the nazi group in crimea and was sentenced to 17 years in prison in nurmerg, became an adviser to the german chancellor on defense. the list of other fascists in nato service is quite long; having fought first on the eastern front, they later occupied key positions in the alliance in differe

the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance, jens stoltenberg, said this in an interview withish television. according to him, the provision of military aid for ukraine's fight against russian aggression should not only continue, but no. mr. stoltenberg believes that this activity should be strengthened, then a short quote from him and pass it on more, especially air defense systems. this is the end of the quote, but nato member countries will not and are not even going to send their military personnel to ukraine to participate in hostilities, says mr. secretary general. if the united states of america renounces its. obligations, it will have very serious consequences and impact on global security, according to the results of a two-day meeting with colleagues from nato member states in brussels, said united states secretary of state anthony blinken. for him words, everyone in the north atlantic alliance hopes that in the near future the house of representatives of the american congress will finally pass a bill on the allocation of additional aid to ukraine for... more than 60

the other thing is they're in a lifeboat in the north atlantic. you can hardly imagine how scary that would be in the dark with thousands of people screaming for help. and what they did believe is they would be immediately swamped. one lifeboat perhaps heroically rowed back towards the wreck to see if there were any survivors. the famous event is lifeboat number 14 commanded by fifth officer lowe, he went back to the scene of the sinking after it quieted down. they were amongst all kinds of bodies by the time they got there. one of the crewmen said he just couldn't look over the side of the lifeboat because he just thought he'd break down. very sadly, about 1,500 people drowned in the titanic disaster. all that remained of the majestic rms titanic was a handful of lifeboats and some survivors clinging to life. even on board the lifeboats, there was still danger. the sea started to pick up as they were floating around for hours. it wouldn't have taken a whole lot to swamp the 16 wooden lifeboats. it was very, very cold in the lifeboats. they had no

that, according to non-russian, western experts, over the 75 years of the existence of the north atlanticcarried out, at a minimum, according to the most conservative estimates, 22 dozen military operations abroad, that called, beyond its own responsibility, none of these operations were defensive, nato is the only bloc that consistently, the only one in the history of mankind that consistently goes beyond its borders beyond its own competence, we see that recently nato secretaries general have made statements, including that they bear some special responsibility, say, for the climate agenda, that they must ensure their presence in the arctic the same, in antarctica, i don’t know where else, so to say that it is north atlantic, that it is defensive, well, it is absolutely not necessary, when 25 years ago, this whole story was just beginning, you said that it was somehow not marked for us i don’t agree with you about any other decisive events other than the plane’s own turn, yes, indeed, at that time russia was not yet strong enough to respond militarily to what was happening, well, there

if we look out in the atlantic, this is where we've got high pressure at the moment.er tonight and into tomorrow. but ahead of that, we've still got these north to north—westerly winds. they are feeding in this colder air and a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of which could be heavy, had some threatening clouds already. we're going to find some heavier showers pushing into the south east of england later on in the day. these are the temperatures. so we're still below average. could make double figures, though, across the central belt, and i4 perhaps in south wales. but there will be some heavier showers as we head towards the end of the afternoon. those in the south east will move away. we'll see another band of showers pushing across northern england and wales and some further wintry showers overnight in northern scotland. but there will be some clearer skies around it as well and the winds will continue to ease down a bit, too. so it is going to be quite chilly out there with a frost more likely across the northern half of the uk. heading into tomorrow, this i

the traffic across the north atlantic was incredible. the immigration rush was on. about 2 million people a year were crossing ocean and there was an enormous duel going, a mortal duel because shipbuilding is a very fragile industry. they build ships when they when businesses good and then they build too many ships and business goes bad. kind of like what? just happened in our own economy. anyway, peary negotiated a deal with jp morgan to sell the white star line, of which he was a shareholder and convinces bruce ismay, who was the president of the white star line, that this was a good idea. ismay is the reprehensible character who we all know got in the lifeboat and left titanic. he was the one with the mustache and looking very furtive as he got into the last lifeboat leaving the ship. bruce's may was the son, the founder of white star. he was often mistaken for arrogance, but he was really very shy. he was timid. he wasn't forceful. imperial was able to control him. so in 1907, they realized they have to build bigger ships to compete with cunard. and they decided

but on collective fans, nato is and must remain euro-atlantic centric.it cannot by its makeup and its complexity, take on collective defense role in the indo-pacifi indo-pacific. it simply would not work. and the way the address china is about china coming to europe as stoltenberg said, and working the multilateral framework with these key u.s. allies in the region. i think this is a future for nato in the indo-pacific. an american colleague of mine said both russia and china are headline news, but russia is above the fold. i didn't quite catch the private market question come so maybe we can discuss this in the break. on nuclear issues, i think we've seen the future, and that is allies will want to play out conventional defense in a way that is bigger than during the cold war. and it's true that during the cold war the europeans wanted to accelerate escalation to get the u.s. involved. the u.s. sought to delay escalation beyond the conventional, so to not be involving nuclear weapon level. that was then. now, nato is at the point where they're really bu
