nato too is adapting to the new realities in eastern europe and the soviet union. and to changing attitudes in the west it is britain's prime concern. to ensure that the new europe is open and liberal and that it works in growing harmony with the united states and the other members of the atlantic community. all our history in this and earlier centuries. underlines the basic point that the best progress is made when europeans and americans act in concert. we must not allow ourselves to be enticed into a form of continental insularity. i believe this is a particularly important now at a time of major social and mental and economic changes in your continent. and in asia and africa we must make sure that those changes do not become convulsions. for the primary interest of our societies is not domination but stability. stability so that ordinary men and women everywhere can get on with our lives in confidence. our two countries have a special advantage in seeking to guide the process of change. cause of the rich ethnic and cultural diversity of both our societies. stabi

force to think that he already anticipated the other countries of eastern europe. now as we all know now. in 2004 and subsequently the other eastern countries eastern european countries joined nato. and that has provoked the russians by now to claim that baker broke his word. and they have used this one inch further east in their propaganda to say you can't can't trust americans they break their word. so finding that record of that meeting in february 1990 was critically important to understand what really happened. where the gaps i'll tell you what because i hope it's the subject of my next book. there was a very important meeting in february 1992 between president bush and boris yeltsin. was up at camp david. and the content of those meetings really establish the relationship between the united states and russia for the next 15 years. and those are the archives that i'm digging out. great. thank you very much. let's go. the questions but let me call and sorry for pronouncing yourself. could we call them her to? okay, we i think we'll go to. will go to the next. a

however, what is little-known is the situation in central and eastern europe behind the iron curtain was very different. under communism, there was strict censorship of all historical topics, particularly those to do with the second world war. this was history of the great patriotic war, and the holocaust, the persecution of jews were not considered to be suitable topics because all victims were victims of fascism. the fact that the jews were specifically targeted by the germans and murdered in a particular way was simply ignored by history. auschwitz was opened in 1947, but the original museum did not specifically focus on jewish victims. again, it was dems of fascism. it is almost unfathomable now. when i was working way back when on my doctoral thesis in east germany -- on east germany, it was astonishing that there was no consideration paid to the holocaust and the unique fate of the jews whatsoever. this was particularly egregious in eastern and central europe because by far the majority of jewish victims died in this part of the world. i am talking to you from warsaw at the mom

so in that context, you in eastern europe constantly warning about the dangers posed by vladimir putin partners in western europe. well, my partners in western europe have always... ..have also seen the attacks on their territory. let's not forget about salisbury and these other events that even happened in germany or czech republic. so they see that russia is, well, approaching different european countries, whether it's a cyber attack or something of a sort, but it is influencing their soil as well. i think when we talk about european unity, then these things we have to discuss through. and i'm listening very carefully in the european council what, you know, the western or the southern countries are telling me about the southern hemisphere and the problems arising there and what they see there, and i feel that they are also listening to what the baltics have to say about russia, because we have the experience there. but just very specifically, and yes or no, really, are you satisfied with the sanctions the eu has imposed on russia as a result of what russia has done, annexing crimea,

the so—called b9 conference with all the heads of state from the bucharest nine, central and eastern europebe able to deter the kremlin without a lot of us participation, but... but if i may say so, europe shows no sign of following america's lead in key ways. i'm thinking, for example, of economics. for example, the german government is not, it seems, willing to abandon its nord stream 2 shared pipeline project with russia. mrs merkel has been committed to that and won't let go of it. at the same time, if one switches to beijing, italy, for example, is already signed up to play a role as a partner in the belt and road project. you know, that is china's hugely important strategic effort to project power through economics. so europe isn't buying into america's assessment of these threats. well, again, i would disagree with your characterisation or generalisation of putting all of europe in the same box. you're right about germany. i'm very disappointed that berlin has put commercial ideas, or priorities, particularly with russia, but also with the chinese communist party, ahead of everything

and by the end of 1989, the soviet empire in eastern europe collapsed. in less than three years, the soviet union ceased to exist. putin has to face the same reality, and, unfortunately, there were many opportunities that the free world missed. one of them, i believe, was syria in 2013. president obama blinked and did not remove assad, syrian dictator assad, who used chemical weapons against his own people and, you know, crossed the redline imposed by the u.s. president. so that was a moment. and there were many other moments where american presidents and european allies could actually inflict a major defeat on putin. right now, ukraine could be this case. but unless putin suffers this kind of defeat inside the country, he has enough resources, both financial and political will, you know, to spill blood, because he has no allergy for blood. and that's why no opposition movement can succeed without regime being weakened in the eyes of masses. 100,000 people is not enough 200,000 -- not enough. 5 million will be enough. but for these people to join the pro

in eastern europe it is 4:00 p.m. about at the point of pre-conferences and agreements. would think in the next six hours we will have a lot more to talk about. lisa: this comes at such a delicate moment internationally and economically. the idea people are just starting to travel again. we are seeing president biden try to set a new agenda for the united states and prepare for his trip to the summit in europe. such a perilous moment in some ways. a crossroads for 70 different aspects of the global economy. this highlights them in one swoop. tom: no doubts we will have comments from the white house as they wake up at 9:00 washington time. markets are range bound, but then they are not. the vix in nicely with enthusiasm. s&p 500 up 23 point. jon called in from coventry, wanting to quote the dow. 4292 on the dow. a nice lift to the markets. on "balance of power" the cogent voice on the republican side, glenn hubbard with republican -- with columbia business school. stay with us on belarus. this is bloomberg on radio, on television. ♪ (announcer) back pain hurts, and it's f

not only is russia on the move in eastern europe, russia is attacking america's pipelines. and what is president biden doing? he's making it easier for russia to send us gasoline, to be more reliant on russia and middle eastern oil because he shut off the spigots. it's not only the keystone pipeline he shut down. he also canceled leases and permits on drilling in federal land, making americans less energy secure. that means families are pay manager money at the pump. when you see lines at the pump, that's something people haven't seen, like our leader said, since the 1970's. this is because of president biden's failed leadership. where is he on these problems? why has not president biden nor vice president harris gone to the border? the border crisis has been created by president biden's failed policy. we had a secure border when he took the oath of office and he quickly unraveled those agreements, including really good negotiated agreements with mexico and the northern triangle countries, that had president biden creating the border crisis and he wants to blame it on other

mondale on eastern europe. do you accept the conventional diplomatic wisdom that eastern europe is a soviet's sphere influence of influence and what could a mondale administration do to help the people of eastern europe achieve the human rights guaranteed to them as a result of the helsinki accords? >> i think the essential strategy of the united states ought not accept any soviet control over eastern europe. we ought to deal with each of these countries separately. we ought to pursue strategies with each of them, economic and the rest, that help them pull away from their dependence upon the soviet union. where the soviet union has acted irresponsibly as they have in many of those countries, especially recently in poland, i believe we ought to insist that western credits extended to the soviet union bear the market rate. make the soviets pay for their irresponsibility. that is a very important objective to make certain that we continue to look forward to progress toward greater independence by these nations and

of occupying and colonizing eastern europe. they focused on these three highly documented cases, and things blew up, in ways that the organizers never expected. it was finally shown in 33 cities. in one place it was firebombed. and in another place there were huge demonstrations carrying signs saying my grandfather was a hero and not a terrorist, and then there were counter demonstrations. in the end, there was a consensus that this was a very important piece of national understanding, that you could not divide the terror into a few bad apples and the rest of the country. that the army was a terrorist organization. michele: i want to talk a little bit about what we would see today when we visit germany. dr. neiman: this is an interesting point that i want to add. the person who organized and funded that exhibit is a friend of mine. his father was not actually a member of the nazi party but he was an old friend of hammond who had a monopoly on the cigarette industry in the third right -- third right -- third reich. through this

emily: so talk to us a little bit about attribution, this group, the dark side, out of eastern europewhat do we know about them and why they might do something like this? william: these groups are primarily financially motivated. there is a blurred line between these criminal groups in eastern europe and russia and intelligence services, just because they are always cooperating together. the cybersecurity forces will say they sometimes do collaborate. they are relatively new group on the scene, but i think everyone acknowledges that they're able to go after -- there ransomware is comparable to that of other groups. emily: the government meantime is still dealing with the follow-up from solarwinds and the microsoft exchange hack. and now this. what can the white house do at this point? william: that's a great question, because i think the government could invest more in cybersecurity, but they find it really hard to deter groups like this. even if you manage to deter groups like this and you have cybersecurity, nothing is on hackable, it just doesn't exist. -- unhackable. even with the

billion for chipita to me, this looks like a high growth european snacking company, but it's about eastern europenk needed help. you seem to have found a way to be able to help that country and also do well in those portions of europe that are underserved. >> yes, yes. it goes both ways, in fact this is a company that very strong in eastern central europe, 40 years old good growth. they're in bakery products and in pastries, cakes and pastries. so we can build on that because we are biscuits and chocolate players. and so we can use their distribution and their presence to build our distribution, but we also can bring our brands to their products, on the other hand, they have done really well and the range of products that they have has potential in the rest of the world. particularly in emerging markets. not only are we trying to build our presence on their presence in central and eastern europe, we're going to bring their prun products to the rest of the world. it's a real win-win. >> a lot of people felt that snacking was something that really was a covid-19 stay at home thing i am beginning to

hunter has gotten so much money out of eastern europe and russia all these years. it looks like joe might be under the influence of the russians. maybe we should be investigating joe biden. host: can you explain what the wilson center is? guest: the institute is the program within the wilson center, devoted to the space. we host scholars and conduct meetings and basically inform people about what is going on in the eurasia regions. specifically devoted to the space. host: how tough or not tough has the biden administration been when it comes to russia? guest: they have had mixed signals. they have imposed sanctions in light of the dead and in light of other actions by russia. the first event was to the ukraine. he emphasized the importance of defending the integrity of the ukraine. the second is towards russia, but it is not really, in any way abandoning ukraine. it is trying to find a means of dialogue between russia and the u.s. host: good morning. caller: good morning. recently released documents from the national archives confirm the fact that 99 -- gorbachev w

this group, the dark, out of eastern europe.hat we know about them and why they might do something like this? >> these groups are primarily financially motivated. there is a blurred line between criminal groups in eastern europe and russia, and intelligence services there. just because that is true does not mean they are always cooperating together but cyber security forces say they sometimes do collaborate. and they are a relatively new group on the scene, but everyone acknowledges they are advanced. they are able to go after big game, if you will. and there ransomware is comparable to that of other groups. emily: the government is still dealing with the fallout from solar wind and the microsoft exchange hack, and now this. what can the white house to at this point? >> that is a great question. i think the government could invest more in cybersecurity. but they found it hard to deter groups like this. even if you manage to deter groups like this and improve cybersecurity, a lot of cybersecurity is nothing is unhappy goal -- not
