russia's economic influence in latin america is smaller than china's. at its intentions are much more pernicious. russia's propaganda machine has been active in latin america, with efforts to raise doubts about the democratic process, and to sow discord in the region. russia's state-controlled language spanish television station breads misinformation throughout the year region. and seeks to undermine u.s. influence in the region. russia is used cyber tax to attack democratic institutions. csis reported that there have been 50,000 cyber attacks against columbia's national voter registry during that 2018 legislate elections. we have also seen russia covertly deploy crime and paramilitary groups to latin , using these forces to advance their strategic interests abroad, without having to admit that they have deployed any military personnel to assist the country. russia's intervention in venezuela has propped up the disastrous maduro regime and helped deny transition to the interim president guaido. this fits a pattern of increasingly aggressive russian seeki

it's clear that russia and china have increased their influence in the south comm ar.personnel . russia's supintervention in venezuela has propped up the maduro regime and helped deny transition to the interim president guaido. this fits a pattern of increasingly aggressive russian seeking to use all of the tools in its play book to undermine the appeal of the democratic process and keep russian aligned regimes in power. while russia and chinese influence in latin america is destabilizing to the region, i think it's also important to spend a few minutes on the most pressing threat to democracy in the western hemisphere. and that is kruchgcorruption. corruption is the root cause of mass migration, instability and impugn in latin america and the trafficking of narcotics to our country. no amount of security assistance dollars to latin america will be helpful. president trump's stated rationale to punish these countries for the migrant crisis is ill considered and totally counter productive to reducing forced migration numbers. ultimately it undermines our national security in the re

the national defense strategy makes it clear that strategic competition with china and russia not terrorism is now our primary national security concern, china and russia have passed us in key areas and are catching up with others. i will outline some of these areas, that's something that most americans are not aware of and it's one that we have to be aware of and have to communicate that to the public. years of budget cuts have left our military that will take us years to fix. general milley, you have been nominated to be the principal military adviser to the president and national security council, secretary of defense and so congress. the chairman plays a unique and influential role, the national security policy and so the chairman has an outsized impact on the state of civil/military relations. appropriate civil/military relations are essential for a healthy democracy. we look forward to your views on this critical subject. the committee believes that the 2018 national defense strategy and the recommendations made by the national defense strategy commission provide a solid foundation fo

a lot of things change after 2014 after snowden where all of the other players like china russia realize that they have to finger of also over nature of the data and the computing so of course china has their own googles muzzles and they own microsoft exactly the same they centralize access to information services and whores. thank you very much . yesterday was the hottest day in germany since records began for the 1st time in history the 42 degrees celsius mark was broken it's exhausting for many of us here but a real problem for many famous for them it's another year of struggling with drought in the eastern state of brandenburg the situation is specially done. it's hot and dry here in eastern brandenburg and it has been for weeks the farmers now know harvesting as fast as they can before their crops are ruined they've been at it for more than 12 hours. right now don we have to start early and work as long as possible into the evenings. theme of advanced office a farmer and he isn't pleased this year like last year he estimates his right harvest will be far below average due to the lon

. >> particularly given the new threats that we are seeing today, from iran, to china, russia, and beyond. i mean would you say these are some of the most significant threats the country has ever faced. >> maybe not ever, but certainly very significant, the iranians are acting out as they have since 1979 various destructive ways across middle east we immediate responses to actions directly or surrogates as president directed i think he is doing the right thing. >> where specifically would you see opportunities to cut back not of including defense obviously. >> it is hard to do that with this particular house. they mefr metnever met a spendig

russian officials have privately expressed regret for flying into south korean airspace on tuesday russia and china carried out their fast joint patrol south korea says the planes crossed into its territory and the military fired warning shots in response russia has previously said the plane's freeway the neutral waters meanwhile china's defense ministry maintains that the aircraft did not enter the territorial airspace of any other country had made the announcement during the unveiling of its strategic priorities the ministry went on to highlight the issue of taiwan and blames the u.s. japan and a strange increasing tension in the region if you denmark the netherlands and france are backing britain's proposal for a european led naval mission to ensure safe shipping through the strait of hormuz that's where iran seized a u.k. flag oil tanker on friday but iran's deputy foreign minister says it will secure the strait and not allow any disturbance to shipping. venezuela's opposition controlled national assembly has voted to rejoin a regional defense treaty adding more pressure on the government of pr

the national defense strategy except clear strategic competition with china and russia, not terrorism, is now a primary national security concern. china and russia have passed us in key areas and are catching up with others that will outline some of the areas most americans are not aware of it's one we have to be aware of and communicate that to you been nominated to be the principal military advisor to the president, the national security council, the secretary defense and congress. the chairman has an off-site impact on the state of civil military relations. we look forward to your views and the committee believes that 2018 national defense strategy and recommendations made by the national defense strategy mission to the wide array of global threats and trade offs between the strategic priorities for example how do we sustain focus on the most important theaters, not just the ones that are the most recently in the headlines. our civilian leaders have to decide the answers to the questions and the chairman's best military advice is critical input into decisions. the committee looks f

say in this program here it's pushing europe to be closer to russia this is a net feel for the united states if they wanted to take on china and russia and the european union all at the same time and strong said bolton we want to fight wars all simultaneously all over the world ok that's a losing proposition yeah but you know also. in 2014 when the u.s. was able to put pressure and come in syrup. but that was by their own words by the way to twist europe's arm in order to accept sanctions on russia this was under the obama administration which was more measured now since then what has happened while americans are pushing their principle trying to twist their arm again to go against a trade war against the chinese they're pushing them to target the iranians to break the treaty they also help trying to get aboard with the venezuela which hasn't really panned out to a rival so and also now of course putting sanctions against european some self or at least racing tires so it is so. it's all this new frontline so i think for their peons to keep all keep open the front line against the russia you know in unity with united states

including russia, china, and iran. this is chaired by senator jim inhofe of oklahoma. >> good morning. thank you for being here, also extending a welcome to your family and want to invite you to introduce anyone at the time that you are recognized for an opening statement. have our eight boring questions that are required so if you would please audibly respond to them so that we can have them in the record. have you adhered to the regulations governing interests? >> yes, senator. >> will you ensure that your staff complies and including questions for the record and hearings? >> yes. >> will you cooperate and providing response to congressional requests? >> yes. >> will those witnesses be redacted for reprisal? >> yes. >> do you justify upon the request before the committee? >> yes. to theou agree constituting committee or to consult with the committee regarding the basis of any good faith delay or denial and providing such documents? >> yes, senator. have you assumed any duties or undertaken any actions which would app

door so where to russia and china fit in this. well russia and china have been huge the 4 supporters of iran they says that the sanctions that have imposed imposed on iran by the united states government are not legitimate and they don't recognize them the chinese who are the number one buyer of iranian oil on the international market they said they're not going to abide by these sanctions by the u.s. to stop buying iranian oil they are behind the iranians and they continue to do business with them also the russians have said that these sanctions are not legitimate they don't recognize them the russian foreign ministry has said that they are behind the iranians and they will do everything they can to support the iranian economy so those 2 signatories have been behind iran and they are standing in the they are not abiding by these u.s. sanctions they're not as hesitant to deal with iran when it comes to the country's economy and this nuclear deal for them is as it was 4 years ago there are sticking to their end of the deal and they'

china and russia have caught up in key areas and are catching up in other areas. the national defense strategy, which is the document we have used and had a hearing on, and everyone agrees it is a bipartisan document, one that should be used and has been used for that purpose. president trump has supported a new national defense strategy with his defense budget putting us to a path to repair readiness and restore our military advantage. hard work remains. most importantly, we need a budget agreement. if we do not get a budget agreement to deal with fiscal year 2020 that includes the growth on the top line, we will squander the progress we have made in fiscal years 2018 and 2019. we all know our top line in the first of this new administration was some $100 billion. after that, fiscal year 2019, $700 billion. after that, fiscal year 2019, $716 billion. this bill, we are at $750 billion. we want to avoid the commission report that said "unpredictable and delayed funding increase to the national defense security in place." -- in jeopardy. " this isn't only about mone

sanctions russia and china already have their own alternative payment systems and they are working on developing ruble and u.n. financial instruments too and then in a similar development the u. has created a settlement platform called in stakes to allow firms to continue trading with iran by passing u.s. sanctions the u.s. has expressed its concern over the move by christmas is a professor of political economy he told us this initiative might go further if the u.s. continues its sanctions policy. well it's only at the very beginning and we're talking only about 2 countries they're fairly large countries it could be a significant amount of the trade in non-dollar currencies or in crime you know are still the global currency i think it will be a fight with the brics whether the u.s. will stand by and do nothing if the brics join the you know the china russia payment system won't be using to do it the u.s. is not going to stand by and let this the centerpiece of its global economic empire . slip from its fingers it will take counteraction overtly and covertly here to discourage it you k

want to stay right where senator jones was looking at, i call the new axis of evil, which is russia and china and iran and north korea. and when we talk about russia and china, they are putting quite an emphasis on their strategic and non-nuclear weapons, one of which is cyber. and i want to encourage you as you take on a on the new role, end this perception that they are going to have the opportunity to be a player in this great power competition. i think you're exactly right to say this is a strategy that is in need of talking this out and developing a strategy and having a game plan for how we move forward there. i thank you for your emphasis on that. i want to talk for just a moment about republic of korea. and have you comment a little about the value that relationsh relationship, the importance of our joint exercises as we look at that region and readiness of forces. also a little about the negotiation of the new special measures agreement in 2020 and the importance that has to us. >> when i look at the republic of korea, i see one of the most important allies. we have a liaison from re

now russia and china meanwhile have agreed to increase trade in their own national currencies reducing their reliance on the u.s. dollar currently only 10 percent of trade between the 2 countries is conducted in roubles and un but under a new deal that figure will rise to 50 percent the russian president raised the issue at a meeting between the 5 brics nations during the g 20 summit. the joint work between the brics countries and shifting to trade using our own national currencies is moving along well or to cut their use of global currencies like the dollar and the euro russia and china will have to avoid swith which is the world's largest payment system it is used 511000 financial institutions in $600.00 countries and is heavily reliant on the dollar swift claims to be politically neutral but has repeatedly blocked access to russian and chinese banks due to u.s. sanctions well russia and china already have their own alternative payment systems and they are working on developing ruble in un financial instruments too and in a similar development the u. has created a settlement platform

i am concerned about china, russia, concerned about what's going on in iran, strait of hormuz. just some of the things that keep us thinking about what's going on, look at china. the rapidly growing navy china has at a rate if continued will put them over 400 surface ships and 100 submarines in the next 15 years. would you say that's an offense on defensive play for them? >> that's an offensive play, sir. >> an offensive play. we know with the offensive play in the south china sea and pacific, they're looking further than before what we've seen with intentions what may be on the one belt, one road. >> yes, sir. >> we're on the same path on that. we're also very much concerned about what's going on with russia. we're seeing now that russia has resurgence in the north atlantic, arctic area. i came back from the arctic, going through all our arctic nations, seeing what's going on there, russia seems to be downsizing the surface combatants, retiring aircraft carrier, cold water destroyers, but rapidly expanding the submarine force. they're now producing the largest nuclear submarine

namely, china, russia, iran, north korea, and syria. this will cover threats from acquisitions, importation, transfers, or use of communications technology by any person subject to the jurisdiction of the united states that involved technology designed, developed, or controlled by a foreign adversary. as globalization continues to shape the world we live in, it is increasingly important that the united states prioritizes the security of our cyber networks and infrastructure. today, china controls over 60% of the 5g networks in the world. in 201, the house permanent select committee on intelligence deemed telecommunications companies huawei and z.t.e. national security threats. seven years later, the companies continue to harm u.s. cyber security interests. should the u.s. continue to let these companies and others like them continue to proliferate our networks, we are putting our security of our citizens at risk in our national security. we must continue to our maximum press company on these malicious companies until we can ensure that

russian officials have private expressed regret for flying into south korean as space on tuesday russia and china carried out their fast joint patrol south korea says the planes crossed into its territory but russia had publicly denied the allegation or china's defense ministry is also maintaining that the aircraft did not enter the territorial as space of any of the country and made the announcement during the unveiling of its strategic priorities. as in beijing. there was no reaction on tuesday when this incident allegedly occurred with russian and chinese jets violating south korean airspace but failing their latest white paper on defense in beijing on wednesday morning the chinese defense ministry did respond to a question about this the spokesman saying that they strictly observed international law referring specifically to this incident saying the exercises with russia do not target any 3rd party and these joint patrols between china and russia in the area will continue remembering this was the 1st time that this had taken place between the chinese and russian air forces the fact that they

china. a lot about russia. i'm concerned, and i'm seeing signs of connections between china and russia. cooperation. is this a concern and do you see this as a sort of national strategy 2.0 dealing with a combined adversary. >> in some places they are coordinating. in some places they are cooperating. in other places it's just a bunch of interests, and interestingly in some places they are competing. i know we have talked about the arctic. >> i'm surprised you talked about the arctic. but go ahead. >> shocking. >> it is shocking. that's one area -- >> did you quote billy mitchel? i'm sorry. go ahead. >> not yet. >> fahrenbach. the arctic is one place where russia does not want china. >> china recently declared itself a near arctic nation. >> i guess 900 miles constitutes near. >> right. on the same planet. but this is a concern, is it not, of linking between the two? >> yes, sir, i mean, absolutely. absolutely. that's why we need to work carefully with our allies and partners in the context of the arctic, we have great allies and partners, arctic counsel who can help us in that regard e

this movement across the world you mentioned the various policies that have been adopted by russia and china we know that russia has created its own internal payment system that is become very popular within that country and then we're also seeing a number of central banks purchasing gold which is internationally stable real money as opposed to the currencies created by all of these central banks so it's just a natural reflex to avoid the billy club and to be independent to create independence for themselves and for their own economies. now if more countries follow suit and ditch the greenback what kind of effect will that have on the u.s. economy well i think it could have a very negative effect on the u.s. economy and i think a lot of people don't understand this the dollar is already in a precarious situation because the u.s. central bank has been essentially printing money for over a decade in response to the economic crisis of 2008 and this is created all kinds of economic bubble so we see the stock market rising we see asset bubbles inflating just like it did before the 2008 crash so t
