we could immediately launch a diplomatic effort throughout all of eastern europe, get all of the westerndiplomats from europe, australia, united states, all together to really come up with a plan. s last thing i would do is surge funding for the info war. we are losing an information war to the russians throughout all of eastern europe. that cannot happen. we can win this argument. capitalism, free markets, human rights, that's an easy win for us. >> so then if you maybe not necessarily put your money where your mouth is, if the president puts his hen where his mouth is, what should he do? >> there is a lot of things he can too individually and a loft things he can ask congress to do. >> we'll leave it that 'cause it is complicated. that is it for us. i'm glad to have you here on the set. before you go, i got to toss to "the five." do you think the ukrainian president is a bonafide foe against putin? >> i think yes, he is trying to be. but he's got some challenges. >> okay. good to see you. thank you. >> i'm arthel neville. stick around. "the five" is up next. i'll be back on in an hour

with ensuing events such as the fall of the berlin wall, the breakup of the soviet empire and eastern europe, the breakup of the soviet union itself. something commentators did not even anticipate. such as the fall of the berlin wall, the breakup of the soviet empire and eastern not only the gulf war, but further difficulties in the middle east vis-À-vis ethnic cleansing. speaking of ethnic cleansing, we have the beginning of the tragedy that was post-cold war yugoslavia. looking at these events, it is astounding to think that all of them occurred within the same 4 years. i would make the argument that more accord -- more occurred during president bush's tenure in u.s. office then faced any other president in u.s. history, with the exception of maybe fdr during the height of world war ii. during each of these events, president bush and his staff adopted what i like to call hippocratic democracy. that is, first, do no harm. a world was, to their minds, going in the proper direction. democracy was on the rise. markets were on the rise. the soviet union and communism were clearly on the decline

and in eastern europe smoldering wreckage of a boeing 777 with possibly 23 americans and more than 200 others potentially on board. they were all murdered according to the reports. welcome to "the kelly file" everyone. i'm megyn kelly on a dark eching. we start with a question of who may have possibly killed those americans and what we are going to do about it. we have had a lot of news breaking in just the last hour. we're going to get to all of it. here's what we now know about this passenger jet shot down over ukraine. around 1:00 p.m. local time malaysian airlines flight 17 departed amsterdam en route to kuala lumpur, malaysia. but at over 30,000 feet while flying over eastern ukraine the plane dropped off of radar and crashed. keep your eyes on the horizon of the amateur video over toward the left. the explosion right there, is reportedly the impact of the plane. a massive plume of black smoke rises from the crash site. eyewitnesses say the debris field stretches for nearly ten miles. the scene there was horrific. human bodies littering the burning wreckage. tonight senior intel s

distin eastern parts of europe would still be construed of corruption was actually a law but what is actually sitting in the state so that's one thing is lobbying united states is something that is legal and is completely transparent and out of the shadow but a lobbying in that foreign minister and european countries or western european countries will be considered as corruption nowadays. yeah that's exactly the point you see lobbying by itself it's not corruption not the difference between lobbying can corruption sort of simply if you lobby you have to convince somebody read the power of the argument if you're corrupting somebody you you convince him or her we depart of the money so and if you make it transparent it is in the states cities soon some other countries this in europe or support and has a very good lobbying courageously then of course it is much more difficult to use lobbying reform of corruption countries which don't want to do it basically lobbying is still happening but this happening in show it involves a lot of corruption to cascade something have you or your collea

from eastern europe where you understand the corruption corruption is in some ways part of the political culture what are the most alarming examples of correction on the continent that you personally have come across. one of the most alarming form of corruption is when politicians. winning the elections they think that the state initially has become their reward for their election with other words they take the. winning the election they take it as winning that separation of the treasures which are there in a source so many countries already that. the highest level of politicians were simply destroying the countries for their personal needs because they thought they have right to do it they thought they have right to put all their political allies on important porton positions not only to give them jobs but also to be sure that those political political allies will serve us into media as in those. grabbing the wealth of the countries. in instilling the richness of all the country's wealth for instance in the united states corruption is practically legalized in the sense that it is called

say video large brenda's creating more corruption problems when the new member states like from eastern europe join for example but there are more relaxed assets it towards corruption is that a big problem as a whole. well i think the problem is somewhere else you see when countries are exceeding to the opinion in european union is imposing a lot of pressure on them to fight corruption effective fight against corruption is even political criteria for countries to join deal it means it is non-negotiable they have to do it what happens afterwards is the problem you see all the countries you know which were joined the e.u. were depicted there and the corruption in force on the day of the accession the next day european union it was not pushing pressing them they started to become very lenient on the fight against corruption and we saw cases like you see my own country we also we saw cases slow bulgaria romania were just a year or two after the session the situation much worse then before the accession process so it is obvious that there was no genuine political will in those countries to fight co

talking about how the east will react to what happened in eastern europe. and thank you for thearticle. we appreciate it very much. >> and as jerry was saying, the world and malaysian in particular, the second airline disaster that the count rope faced this year and the brazen shot down and coming down on the heels in march. that story is not found. and malaysian is mourning what happened. and the country is demanding an investigation and here is the country's transport minister. all of these in ukraine indicated that malaysian flight 17 was shot down. it will be international law and against human dignity. the nation condemns any such action in the strongest possibly terms and calls for those responsible to be swiftly brought to justice. that is a shocking shoot down. and how does this tragedy change the international relations with russia. moscow and/beijing have been joined in the hips and does that change that or strength ten? >> they have seen putin getting away with something, murder of 300 people. you almost have stalin and ma o reincarnated and chin

are you noticing any impact on your business in eastern europe?g impact on the ground in terms of the products that consumers are confident enough to buy? >> given that we operated over 100 countries around the world, we feel and we are impacted by geopolitical turmoil. so whether that is in eastern europe or in the middle east or venezuela or thailand. we are in all those countries. we have got people on the ground and our businesses impacted. i would say, yes we are impacted by when there is turmoil, particularly in war like conditions. is our business in the ukraine impacted? yes. ukraine is not a big enough market to move the company, but it does get impacted when you have this kind of turmoil. of course, if they can do for her to defer purchases, when things are uncertain, it happens, yes. >> when we spoke to a month ago, you were talking about how you thought the eurozone was out of recession. when you see things heading from here -- where do you see things heading from here? seeingr if you are anything in the numbers that would give us clue

by the way, it was not a missile base in eastern europe. but nonetheless, it was taken away and that was very controversial, i understand that. but the reality is, there are complex geopolitical issues going on around the world that were not there during the cold war. that's something that any country, particularly the united states, is going to have to deal with in a multi-faceted way in 20, 30 different areas of the world. i don't know how you do that with -- we've spent as much money as we can in the military on intelligence, what more can we do. >> i agree with everything but the last part. we spend as much money as we can on intelligence in the military. a ton more. we can spend a lot more. we could be a lot smarter, and we can win any war through our technology and intel. i think that's probably, in my opinion -- >> anyone else alarmed by the 9/11 commission report? they haven't done a report in a decade and their first one is basically all the lessons we've learned, you've forgotten. >> it is the product of a short attention span. th

russian troops may enter ukraine in the east nato troops which are being mobilized as we talk in eastern europe would enter perhaps western ukraine across the polish border and then the power of russia and the united states will be eyeball to eyeball and that is the cuban missile crisis and you can remember how close we came to war then so i wouldn't say it's unthinkable i think it's a blip atory on us today the think about that horrible prospect so we can get our leaders and by the way russia could help here too but it's being driven by moscow by washington now to pull back before it's too late ok john you know it's interesting it this is two thousand and fourteen but in one thousand nine hundred fourteen the major powers trip themselves into a war this is what stephen's talking about right now well i think that one thousand nine hundred fourteen was fundamentally different in that imperial germany was a remarkably powerful country and i believe it was bent on dominating europe and i believe it was prince will be responsible for the july crisis and world war one. today we're dealing with a rus

baffled that the russians don't understand that our motives are good and that what we're doing in eastern europe is all designed to create peace and stability of course for other countries around the world this is not the way they see things and it's not only true of the russians it's true of the chinese as well all you have to do is follow president obama's travels through asia which are taking place. right now to understand just how complicated this situation is in asia with regard to chinese american relations so we have problems all over the world because other people don't. see things the way we do if that's stephen you know this is exactly where i want to go it's very interesting to me is that the u.s. government and its allies just cannot conceive of another party's perspective russia's perspective on what's going on in the world is never given any air time in the mainstream media at all i mean people i. we on cross talk of been doing. ukraine related topics for months now and we come across people that are just baffled they've never heard of victoria nuland they've never heard about snip

they are clearly on a path to assert themselves differently not just in the eastern europe at europe in the main and toward the united states. that me repeat. they are clearly on a path to assert themselves differently, not just in eastern europe, but europe in the main and towards the united states. that's the chairman of the joint chiefs. >> we have dialogues and formal structures at nato. he was the national security advisor to boris yeltsin who politicalst-soviet issues and putin rejects that. i think general dempsey is correct that he has neglected integration and he does not seem interested. to useconscious decision military force inside another sovereign nation to achieve its object is. they're clearly on a path to assert themselves differently. >> both of the statements are absolutely true. it really cannot be denied. ukraine has seen crimea go to russia. it was a russian covert military he got away with it. but theybeen accepted did obviously undertake a mission in ukraine and separate crimea. >> ♪ ♪ -- >> they're trying to run an operation to destabilize this to keep it fro

these were things that were warunicated during the cold into eastern europe very effectively. how do we know the difference between what would happen to societies that did not hear this message, because we have yugoslavia as an example. made in the was united states never to broadcasting yugoslavia, and i are member a young croatian journalist, younger than anyone here at this table, who said to me, all we had to listen to was the hate radio coming from the serbs, the hate radio coming the hate radio, coming from some of the bosnian stations, and he said if we could have ever heard what was broadcast in czechoslovakia -- in czechoslovakia, at partition occurred, first they got their independence come in and they partition the country without the loss of one life, and he avel i listened to vaclav h talk about what he learned in these broadcast. i never learned in the of that. all i learned was hate. so at a time when russia is really ramping up -- for those of you that are listening to the conspiratorial series that come a time whenys, at china is also really spinning informati

allow the export of american natural gas and petroleum which you can't do now to countries in eastern europee nato countries that recently joined, europe, lng terminals that would not make europe and eastern europe so dependent on russian natural gas. secondly, i would put some of our missile systems in poland, get that going again. and i think the community in europe would welcome that. but third, i think the united nations, i was u.n. ambassador. i think this has got to be a forum on this issue that just happened. this tragedy of unspeakable proportions. the issue of public opinion, condemnation of what has happened. and again, we have to get the facts. some credible entity has to say this is what happened. and that hasn't happened yet. >> well, it's a challenge. it's obviously very hard to get to the crash site, as our correspondent has shown us. stand by, everyone, please, because we have more questions for you. could this escalate? and what can nato do as governor richardson was just talking about. we'll explore that more when we come right back. really... so our business can be on at&t

baker says the people are marching just like they are in eastern europe. into great detail to show they were not. yes, they were marching and carrying banners saying freedom and democracy. both eastern europeans and chinese protesters were smart enough to put the signs in english to be read by an international argument. that i argued the chinese students had a very different conception of what freedom meant and what change they wanted to bring about. that nuance was not seen by the administration, which is in impacting their worldview. i would argue no matter the perception of what the chinese are testers were doing, i think the bush administration have adopted the same approach to china, which was to say yes, it is horrible and horrific, but the stream of history is still moving forward, so let's make sure we do not cut china off as opposed to bringing it in. this is something i want to explore. i am glad you brought my attention to that. one other point i will make and then leave it open to discussion question of what is the domestic scene and how is tha

about what is going on across much of europe today where we are seeing some storm in the west, but also in the east where a cold front really blew through eastern portions of europe. now moving into western russia, bringing in some heavy rain, strong thunderstorms with this. even a tornado reported down towards the balkan peninsula in croatia, bosnia, you saw large hail coming out of this storm system. i do want to show you video out of poland this past weekend and really into monday where you saw heavy rain. just bringing in some unfavorable conditions. actually very unideal weather. heavy rain and these temperatures around 18 degrees. definitely ruining plans for many families out here waiting to go on vacation in nearby mountains and waterways in poland. the weather is forcing these people to really reconsider traveling out and about there into the low countries and extending off there into eastern europe. take a look at the forecast. it's still going to be rather wet and drizzly over the next several days and temperatures below normal. that cold front pushing through. and your temperatures while still into the mid-20s out here, partly cloud

he shared the vision of a more liberal, more reformed soviet union, more reformed eastern europe. >> when the uprisings began in soviet satellite states in europe. he refused them to step in and said no, this is not what we're going to do. >> he wanted to negotiate. he believed divided nations could not be divided for a long period of time. maybe from personal experience in georgia that repression doesn't work. he himself had a history of being in the security services, interior minister at one stage. he did know what soviet repressing was. he didn't want to accept it. therefore he was certainly represented in a liberal wing. a lot of change that happened in the soviet union and ultimately one can argue the demise of the soviet union was because of that liberal attitude he shared. >> then if you want to call it his prize for being so key a figure, he became president of the newly independent georgia swept in with 70% of the vote. that was eroded. >> that was eroded for a, the collapse of the economy which was evident in all areas. it hit georgia hard. georgia was in a privileged posit

this is much broader in my view than turmoil in eastern europe -- in eastern ukraine. it is about the whole post-cold war order and how putin is seeking to reverse what has been pretty much established policy and pursuit of foreign policy in europe since the end of the cold war. >> do you have a view of what president obama's strategy is long-term? >> i do not have a clear sense of strategy on the part of the west at all. i think i certainly applaud the administration's application of sanctions, but what i was just describing in terms of the need for a broader, longer-term strategy to counter putin does require the involvement and the full cooperation of the europeans and frankly, i have not seen their willingness to step up to the plate to the extent, for example, that president obama has. the willingness of france to continue to go forward with the sale of these two warships to russia in light of what has been going on in recent weeks and months, to me is outrageous. and it clearly suggests to the russians that they have a lot of running room in europe. >> has it chan
