i think that our eastern allies, the baltic states, estonia, latvia, lithuania, poland, romania, alltes that were formerly part of either the soviet union or part of the warsaw pact, are extremely nervous. they watch russia first invade georgia in 2008, then ukraine in 2014, and annexing crimea. they are very nervous. we have seen aggressive russian behavior against the nato border, with many exercises, so the response out of nato will be to move four battalions to that area, one in each of the three baltic states, and one in poland, from the u.s., the u.k., germany, and perhaps canada. we will learn more after the summit. those forces will be the means of deterrence against russia. you will see that financed out of the summit. laura: but will that just annoy russia, and also threaten whatever cooperation there is over syria? admiral stavridis: you know, this is always the dialogue we have to have. i always say, the annoying thing was russia's invasion of ukraine, and the annexation of crimea. that's kind of beyond annoying. i think nato is rightfully stepping up deterrents. but your

, we'll see if estonia has lived up to its obligations. no, you don't want to send that message to putin, gee, maybe i can invade estonia and the u.s. wouldn't come to their defense. that argues against ronald reagan and peace through strength and peace through unity. it gets back to, it's got to be change, people are not happy with the way the country is going, you look at the polls, right track, wrong track, by two to one people think we're on the wrong track. but they've got to have the feeling that he is safe and thoughtful and responsible change. >> it's going to be very interesting. >> it will be fascinating. >> it will be something tonight in the arena. chris, thanks so much, see you later this evening. >>> tune into "fox news sunday" this weekend when we'll be talking about hillary clinton's chief strategist, check your local listings for the time and place. >>> so the republican national convention is supposed to be donald trump's chance to get across his message. media coverage of this four-day event may have caused some of this

newt gingrich was asked about estonia and his response is, it is a suburb of st.sburg and he said i don't know that i want to risk nuclear war to support them. that is consistent with what trump has been saying but that is talking about in interest approach as opposed to this has trump explained where he stands on this? one other thing that is different that came out of this interview is that he basically said we are not interested in looking at the internal values of the countries we are talking to. turkey for example, sort of going after human rights internally and becoming more putin style, as long as they are providing support for the alliance that's what matters for us. that is a real the parts are from what we have seen from trump historically. charlie: here is the question i don't find answered. yes, this is nato and this is an agreement. is it like countries around the can weill begin to say depend on america if that is the mindset? say weat mean they might better look elsewhere for relationships? ian: if trump had come along 10 years ago this might be les

estonia is the most wired country on earth. estonia is essentially a cashless society. every transaction is done electronically, and the russians shut down their whole internet for the whole country for three weeks over a tiny political issue. essentially, the estonians offended russia by trying to move a statue of a patriotic russian soldier. awaywanted to move it from the city center into the garden, and the russians got angry. was that an act of war to shut down the entire estonian economy? to shut down the estonian power grid? to shut down the estonian banking industry? you could definitely call that an act of war. it was incredibly damaging. but if you are estonia, tiny estonia, population 3 million, do you really want to pick a fight with your russian neighbor, and what are you going to do in response? a cyber retaliation wouldn't work -- the russians are too good at ciber, and a new retaliation would come. so what did the estonians do? the apologize and put the statue back and waited for it to be over. was it an act of war? yes, probably. did nato define it as an

i was just in estonia.e thinking about it every day as they watch russian bombers off the coast of finland and so forth. and he said he wouldn't automatically come to their defense. he said he would take a look and see what their contribution to nato and to us had been. so, he was putting an economic test, whether they were spending enough, ahead of the article five commitment that all members of nato sign up to, that an attack on one is an attack on all. charlie: what's your response to this? ian: i think trump would respond to someone differently with the take. he said, "look, i want to maintain these commitments. i'm all about maintaining these commitments. but i've said i'm not going to allow these guys to be free riders." charlie: "free riders" is a term president obama used with jeff goldberg. ian: absolutely. mike pence was part of that group, frankly, until a week ago. and they disagree with absolutely everything here, but we can't dismiss the fact that will -- that the average american really does

i was in estonia. they are thinking about it every day when they watch the russian bomber rums-- runs and sub marines off finland and so forth. and he said that he wouldn't automatically come to their defense. he said he would take a look and see whether or not, what their contribution to nato and to us. he said, had been. so he was putting an economic test whether they were spending enough, ahead of the article five commitment that all members of nato sign up to when they have it an attack on one is an attack on all. >> rose: what is your response to this? >> well, i think that trump certainly would respond some what differently with the take. although the interview was t same, you know, he said look, i want to maintain these commitments. i'm all about maintaining these commitments. said it a bunch of times but said i'm not going to allow these guys to be free rider. >> rose: that was a term president obama used with jeff goldberg. >> absolutely. this is what is so interesting. the republican establis

you can't be sure if you were to invade estonia whether or not the united states would come to their support. ronald reagan always talked about peace through strength and it was the idea that if you are strong, if you are united that doesn't provoke war, that prevents war and the comments that donald trumpmade in that interview with the new york times by saying i'm not sure whether we would come to the aid of all the 28 members of nato , i think sends a very dangerous message to our enemies like latvia putin in the kremlin and i expect you're going to see them walk that back real quickly. jon: it certainly could appear in democratic hillary clinton came and advertising as well.chris wallace, fox news sunday, thank you. >> thank you so much john. melissa: we will ask our next guest how high when we look at what kind of a convention bump donald trump could get in the polls then, a deadly heat wave scorching parts of the country. will it impact you?our meteorologist is herenext area . you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26

more destruction of material there in the final months of the soviet regime than in lithuania and estonia, but you can find very useful materials in all three countries, foreign intelligence records of the soviet regime. then in russia, the foreign intelligence archive, which is in the outskirts of moscow -- it used to be in lubianka, in the main building in central moscow, but in 1974, it was moved out to yseniva, the whole foreign intelligence apparatus. it was still part of the kbg, the main directorate, but it was moved out there, and so was the archive. that archive has been inaccessible throughout the post-soviet period. i asked one time -- i was at a conference where the head of that archive took part, and i asked him when the archive might be at least partly accessible. he responded [ speaking foreign language ] which means never. so, i think that there is relatively little hope there would be some change to a democratic government in russia of having some access there. however, the good news is that there are a lot of copies of important records that you can find in archives that

yesterday, nato approved the deployment of multinational battalions to poland, lithuania, latvia, and estonia to deter russia, in light of russia's actions in ukraine. joining me now by skype, from warsaw, "washington post" brussels bureau chief michael birnbaum. michael, russia has been a huge topic at this summit. >> well, the decision taken here in warsaw over these past two days are really a huge change for nato's relationship both with its own -- most members. in poland as you mentioned and also with russia. they're planning to send a total of 4,000 troops to these countries that it were would aim to deter any sort of russian aggression. now, after russia in 2014 annex beed ukraine's peninsula and helped the conflict in eastern ukraine but russia has said nato's decisions right now are real security set. they have said they're very unhappy about it. they're planning to bolster their own military deployments to their west. >> megan: how about britain's decision to exit the eu? how's that affected the talks? >> isn't pulling out of nato. what leaders are saying publicly is that britain is

they want to make clear if there's any russian activity against estonia, that it's russia against nato reporter: the leaders did speak and agreed to work together against terrorists in syria. today, in fact, there are reports that 26 years after russia's only aircraft carrier entered service, it's now being deployed to assist in those efforts. cooperation, yes, but more like frenemies than friends. consider how russia views nato's creeping expansion eastward. since the fall of the old soviet union, the alliance has continued to move towards russia, with 12 new remembers. a provocation, so say the russians. by the way, bret, we learned today that washington will provide ukraine with another $23 million in assistance. of course, they've been dealing with russian aggression and the effects thereof, for quite some time. bret? >> kevin corke in warsaw. thank you. >>> a vote on gun control legislation in the wake of the orlando shooting has been delayed indefinitely. republican leaders postponed a vote today on an anti-terrorism package with the house speaker citing the need to get it right.
