>> i think that the reinforcement of the baltic patrols and putting more forces into the baltic states is important. i think figuring out how to forward deploy more nato forces into places like poland and the baltic states are important. but i think the real leverage is economic in terms of the russians and in terms of sending the message that these kinds of actions that putin has taken will ultimately weaken russia, not strengthen it. and there i think so far that the economic actions that have been taken have been very weak. the problem is, it's very difficult for the united states to impose economic another international hot spot, iran, which never really cools down. there are fights on capitol hill about rounds of sanctions and the president asking lawmakers to wait until there's more time for this particular strategy to play out. president obama himself said earlier this year he thinks there's only a 50/50 chance we actually get a binding, valid good agreement on iran's nuclear program. how do you see it? >> i think he may be optimistic at that. i have two worries. the first is th

and i have been here in the baltic countries, and i can tell you they are very very nervous.en though they are members of nato, which, according to article 5, means an attack on all -- on one is an attack on all. i would get them the weapons. i would restart our missile defense systems. i would get them economic assistance. i would make sure that we take -- have military exercises, including some semi permanent military forces stationed in the baltic countries. there is a number of steps most powerful nation in the world. i would have tough enforceable sanctions. and that means the europeans will not join us but they must follow us and i would have a president of the united states that tells the american people what's at stake here. this is a blatant takeover of a country by vladimir putin and the old rugs style and he lies through his teeth as you know. >> yeah. when you say you would station troops, western troops in some of the countries that border russia, where would those troops come from? >> i think they would do joint exercises. when i say station, i don't mean statio

comes as nato holds the drills in eastern europe with the us sending more troops to poland and the baltic states. white says his response to the situation in ukraine russian parents as ali is about winter forcing it to pull its own military exercises near the border with ukraine. i see this cough is ahead of the foreign relations said kami in russia's parliament told our team why it's not one scale as presenting a threat here with babies being said that those russian prosecuting its threats. russia has been the same distress in the united states russia has long been building in those realize that we've come to the american borders. unlike the united states. that was supporting the expansion quotes rule those near us off to russia. he's not sending russian troops to any country. bordering on the united states unlike the united states while sitting on the greens and pilots to pull into the baltic republics and snow russia does not possess in the three lines like me to princess and the soul own party. just want to express the hope that the use of reason will prevail all in bringing healing a

with the hostility of the united states and require the countermeasures and said ask yourself if the baltic states had not been taken into dado and putin decided i don't need craig b. i think that answers itself also. there is no doubt the american post cold war order was ambitious. americans just to start with thought despite the instincts of most european governments they did it for reasons that i mentioned earlier. if he left the question open , instability is the inevitable basalts and threats to the peace. so the ambitious concept of what president obama it today quoted the first president bush called europe's holding and free. that was a concept you could reconcile interest to create a stable order to everyone's interest. that has been very broadly supported quite a successful project but it has its detractors say in president putin has touted himself the past several of the order. it is hard to articulate all the elements and they have a mystical quality but i think it is a challenge tuesday ambition of the order event in that respect you are right to. an attempt to get to in order t

countries should not be afraid because russia will of course never go into the baltic to cost them a member of nato and downfall it would stop. suspending the show from the my mind is pandering to domestic lobbies and extremist opinion within the united states and other it is to my mind not see it as diplomacy you cannot afford not to talk to a country like russia. rules and if it doesn't you can jump in anytime you want. public enemy is one of the most successful hip hop groups of all time the rap collective introduce an entirely new musical genre to the world that incorporate a politically charged and socially conscious lyrics an anti-establishment message and a philosophy that question authority and perhaps no member of the group and bodies this notion of more than a front man chuck chuck has consistently ranked as one of the top and c's analysts of all time and has taken public enemies dr nearly one hundred countries around the world of the course of over ninety global tours and just this past year public enemy was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame all chuck's a hard m

as well as plans within nato to counter russian aggression and reassure our central european and balticies. i also look forward to hearing from ms. friedt about the status of existing arms and existing control agreements between the united states and russia. while further arms control reductions seem unlikely in the current environment, i'm relieved that the united states and russia have continued to implement the new start agreement, included by exchanging notifications and conducting onsite inspections -- inspections. these exchanges provide much-needed stability and prohibit blingt -- predictability at a time of increasing mistrust and uncertainty. i also support the administration's efforts to work through i.n.f. treaties compliance review mechanisms to address concerns that russian activities may be inconsistent with its treaty obligations. i strongly support the administration's decisions to cut off defense cooperation with russia. i've consistently called on our european allies to follow suit and to exercise similar scrutiny with respect to defense exports to russia. however, we'

is building up to watch for russian plains which for years have flown in baltic air space unannounced testing and probing. fears are worsening. action in ukraine remind leaders in countries remind them how their nations were once themselves annexed by the kremlin. >> on wednesday american fighter pilots handed over to polish and british airmen and women, all part of a standard rotation but one bigger than ever before. the baltic countries, estonia, latvia and lithuania don't have their own aircraft, so they've had to rely on alliance members. >> n.a.t.o. partners wanted in a visible way to contribute to the integrity of the air space and along the way reassure an ally to let them know that n.a.t.o. is strong. n.a.t.o. is ready, and n.a.t.o. is committed to collective security. >> n.a.t.o. says it is watching. a boost of presence is likely also a warning with more jets taking to the air, armed and ready for action just in case. nick schifrin, the air force base lithuania. >> sanctions imposed by russia by the u.s. and european union because of ukraine are meant to target those close to

russians show no sign of pulling back the troops from the borders and the troops sent to poland and the baltics will stay until the end of the year. more could follow. >> and jennifer, thank you. >> so america's military presence. 67 this happened troops are stationed in 37 countries and half of them in the country of germany. 11,000 in italy and great prit brit 9,000. we'll look at the all of this with ambassador john bolton in the later part of the hour. in the meantime we have a new report. your tax dollars pay be the bonus for irs worker ares that did not play their taxes. it appears to create a conflict with the irs' charge of insuring the integrity of the tax administration. eric make sense of this. it doesn't add up. >> i am wondering why they give bonuses anyway. what for? not giving tea party the status. it boggles my mind. >> they had 1100;. o the employees received bonus. >> it is creating a system. we saw it with government, where people who work for government and whose work is tied to the government live in a different world than the rest of us. people who are tied to the governme

say -- maybe we should not have extended security guarantees to poland, romania, bulgaria and the baltic states. but i think it shows we had to extend that guarantee, because we reject and continue to reject, have rejected the notion of a sphere of influence built on the backs of the people who deserve freedom -- freedom that we always supported and that we believe is as vital today as it was then. and let's be clear -- the current crisis born in the enlargment of nato and the eu 15 yeras ago has nothing to do with -- 15 years ago has nothing to do with the enlargement of nato. it was born in the kremlin. it was born in putin's mind. it has nothing to do with the fact that we expanded nato. and here's another debate we don't hear much about anymore -- and i don't know how many conferences over 40 years i've attended about nato. so no longer is there a debate about is nato still relevant? i stand before you as a proud atlanticist like most of you, if not all of you, my entire career, and a firm believer that nato and the trans-atlantic relationship have never been more relevant than they
