james barnett from hudson institute, thank so - hudson institute, thank so much.bringing to an end a stand—off with a group of heavily armed men. the gunmen are suspected of carrying out an attack overnight, in which a policeman died. here's our balkans correspondent. the shooting appears to be over and the monastery is once again and the monastery is once again a place of quiet contemplation and pilgrimage but the mutual recriminations between serbia and kosovo have onlyjust begun. serbia's president alexander prcic has made a televised address to the nation. he described the killing of a kosovo police force officer as absolutely reprehensible, an event that could not be justified. however, he also made it clear that he thought the prime minister of kosovo bore ultimate responsibility for the shooting and the events which followed, after a campaign of provocations against the ethnic serb minority who live in north kosovo. the authorities in pristina unsurprisingly are having none of that. prime minister alban carty has minister alban ca rty has described minister

this month, the hudson institute addressed the top myths about usaid to ukraine revealing quote that every dollar in support of ukraine is authorized by congress and used for a specific purpose as of september 2023, u.s. has provided ukraine with $10121 billion. the vast majority of this funding never leaves the united states and instead supports american jobs. there has never been more accountability in place for u.s. foreign assistance with the u.s.-ukraine oversight interagency working group. more than 160 officials across 20 federal agencies are monitoring usaid to ukraine. according to the keel institute, ukraine aid tracker are more than double those of the united states. russia is china's junior partner, a defeated mush yeah means a weaker china. japan's foreign minister said, it cannot be separated from european security. war putin started this with rule of law imposing deems -- rule of gun with opposing the democracies with rule of law and death to israel, death to america. we should support the supplemental of peace through strength. and why not victory. i yield back. the s

s400, i would panic, writes a former american congressman adam kingsinger , an expert at the hudson instituteern warfare .

she told the hudson institute the taiwan was split and hadn't so far decided whether it went through the relationship with china or prefer to be on its own. there isn't much time for me to i wanted to make up his mind on that issue. is that why if you look at the public opinion surveys here in it's hi one, actually we see a consensus. the consensus here in taiwan is that we don't want to be ruled by china. the consensus here in taiwan is that we don't want to accept the one country to system model and putting, tie one as a part of china or taiwan to sick and hong kong. the consensus here in taiwan is that we want to maintain the status. quote, the status for the pie one is that one people is running, tie one itself. the tie one is the freedom is a free and democratic country. so maintaining the state as cool. it's already a consensus here in taiwan. so if you are backing the consensus, the way you say, why is your policy, you have interest hemorrhaging support in the way it is? you did very badly, and the last is local elections. you 195 out of 21 seats according to polling by the ti

bought the s400, i would panic, writes former us congressman adam kingsinger, an expert from the hudson institute, lukofi adds, turkey should think carefully about its use of the s400 in modern warfare, the new york times draws attention to the fact that the attack near yevpatoria took place after the armed forces of ukraine struck two russian ships in sevastopol, what has become of ukraine's most massive attacks and ukraine's boldest attacks on russia's infrastructure in occupied crimea, experts of the analytical center the atlantic council thinks that getting rid of the russian fleet in the black sea would be a great strategic advantage for ukraine and solve the problem with the export of grain . former minister of defense of ukraine andriy zagorodniuk believes that here kyiv can rely only on itself. challenge this not only diplomatically, but actually in a military way, and until this happens, russia understands that it can do whatever it wants and it will continue for now in an expert environment ukrainians are of the opinion that we should simply continue to destroy russian ships in the blac

this month the hudson institute addressed the myths about ukraine, revealing every dollar spent in supportf ukraine is authorized by congress and used for a specific purpose. the u.s. has provided ukraine with $101 billion. zero point 43% of america's gdp. the vast majority of this money never leaves the united states and supports american jobs. there has likely never been more accountability in place for u.s. foreign assistance with the u.s., ukraine and an agency working group. more than a hundred 60 officials are monitoring u.s. aid to ukraine according to the institute for the world economy. ukraine's total european commitments are more than double those of the united states. russia is china's junior partner. a defeat in russia means weaker china. japan's prime minister says the security of the indo pacific region cannot be separated from european security. vladimir putin started this conflict opposing democracies with rule of gun. democracies with rule of law, sharing their goal of death to israel, death to america. we should support this in the spirit of goldwater and ronald reagan,

and mike pence also spoke out in a speech at the hudson institute in washington. >> just days after the biden administration announced its secretive deal with iran including releasing operatives and paying tehran $6 billion, it was once again proven that it is no real surprise weakness a rouses evil. it is remarkable to think as we gather here today the biden administration just extended a visa for the president of iran. a man responsible for genocide. iranian president who just arrived in new york to speak at the united states. when i'm president, i won't give criminals like raisi a visa to set foot on american oil and we'll never pay ransom to terrorists or terrorist states. >>> now to the georgia election subversion case. a federal judge says he will decide soon on jeffrey clark's bid to move his case to federal court where he could encounter a more favor only jury pool. but we're told the judge appeared skeptical and was advisably annoyed in the hearing. clark is one of the ex-president's 18 co-defendants indicted for allegedly trying to overturn the state's 2020 results. two expert

i will go to hudson institute senior fellow rebecca heinrich. so many questions i am sure our allies and our enemies have about our future but what do you think they think is the biggest problem in dealing with the united states right now? >> it is that there isn't a coherent strategy. very difficult to know what the united states prioritizes. the united states is in the beginning of along cold war. the other side of the equation is china, russia, north korea and iran collaborating with other countries so the united states doesn't just need to show allies and partners an alternative vision where the united states is the strongest power, we need to be boxing out these other countries so president biden's absence at the conference is a big deal sending kamala harris is a terrible second-best, no one thinks you will get deliverables to the united states. david: it is a problem for the us particularly with our dealings with saudi arabia hanging in the balance but the elephant in the room is the absence of one of the elephants in the world and that i

in fact, i'm returning the first of this week to hudson institute where about five years ago i gave thatpeech. i mean, look, we sent a message to china after years of trade abuses and intellectual property theft, and military provocations in the asia pacific, let alone, human rights abusers against christian pastors in china that enough was enough. we put their 250 billion on terrorists and china and while the biden administration has not know done those yet, to be honest with you, we should have been increasing the pressure as we see more aggressive behavior by china, but if i'm president of the united states we're going to meet this moment with american strength. we'll limit china's excess about the economy and live by the rules of the road of international trade. i believe we can eclipse the chinese, navy and the asia pacific because ultimately peace and prosperity comes through strength. >> another big foreign policy challenge for the next president, whoever it is, has to do with ukraine and russia. i want to play a clip from your former boss, from an interview. this is how he said h

. >>> for more on the president's trip, i'm joined by senior fellow at hudson institute rebeccah heinrichs thank you. good to be here. mike: so president biden said something earlier today that caught my ear. let's play it. >> the only existential threat humanity faces, even more frightening than a nuclear war, is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next 20 -- 10 years. mike: what's your analysis? >> it's a very frightening thing for the president to make that kind of comparison. of course, it's not true. chinese aggression in the south china sea is a very serious matter. china is in the midst of a strategic nuke -- nuclear breakout, so is russia, while they're both trying to redraw national borders, considering invading another country in the case of china in taiwan, russia is, in fact, doing it. so for the president to compare that against global warming or environmentalism, i think, is a serious problem. mike: there's this unholy alliance, it seems, between china, russia and if now north korea getting into the mix. what about all that? >> yeah, we really are in the beginning o

maria: you made important comments yesterday at the hudson institute.si and a failure of the police and oversight on january 6th? >> one of the many failures of the january 6th committee was they didn't look deeply at both the intelligence and preparation failures that took place. look, the speaker of the house is responsible for the security of the capitol. that's a fact. maria: and didn't they just say they don't know how many informants were in the crowd? they don't know how many informants were in the crowd. really? >> i was in the building that day. i stayed in my post. so did my team. my wife, my daughter were with me. i really believe that while the president's words were reckless that day, i don't think we have our answers yet about the intelligence failures and the lack of preparation and why the capitol police was not given the back stop they needed to secure the -- maria: thank you for taking that on. i want to get tour comments on china. this is probably the most important issue that you're going to be dealing with should you get back in the

joining us is miles you, sina -- senior fellow at the hudson institute.o. president xi, for the first time since taking over the lead position, he will not be attending the g20. what you make of that as a shift in his approach to geopolitics? is it a shift? miles: it is a very subtle message. the g20 will be hosted by india, which is a core member of the brcis. china has placed a lot of hope on brics is a coalition against g7 and the western free market system. the g7, brics just had a summit in south africa and vladimir putin could not go because he was wanted by the criminal justice system. i think xi jinping will give vladimir putin some kind of consolation award. you cannot go to south africa and i am not going to india. this also indicates there is internal strife for leadership within brics. there is a clash of ambitions. dani: does it not make relations with india more complicated? he is supporting bricks. bodie was at the -- modi was at the brics summit but the g20 will be in delhi. does that not complicate relationships? miles: people have spent

influence will influence his position, but already the head of the center for defense concepts hudson institutet’s all to blame, the outdated structure of the armed forces is needed. money on the market so that it moves on ksenia nekrasova tried to understand if the final communion of the twenty, even in the absence of putin, accepted it in such a way that it is called a failure of the west. how and who will further raise the temperature in the battle for influence in two oceans. over a hundred thousand police officers special forces, sappers, fighter jets along the entire perimeter of the area where the g20 meeting took place, unprecedented security measures based on national characteristics have been installed, and cardboard models of langur primates have been installed along the roads to scare away the monkeys that inhabit them so that they do not interfere with traffic and g20 guests. security issues have become the main ones and on the agenda itself this, but if western countries tried to lead them exclusively to the ukrainian conflict, the host of the meeting, india immediately declared t

representatives of the mainstream of american foreign policy, walter russell, who works at the hudson institutee current american strategy. such a war is beneficial for russia; moscow has more people, resources, and also more territory than ukraine. if you are waging a war of attrition, you are forced to constantly throw your forces into well-fortified and well- defended positions. you will exhaust your reserves faster than your opponent. ukraine has another weak point. she depends on western help for public opinion, which is fickle as president biden frets about every shipment, fearing that sending too many weapons of the wrong type will trigger an escalation. from russia and create the threat of nuclear war. he provides sufficient support to keep ukraine afloat. although it does not give what kiev really needs to the president. this may seem rational and even befitting a statesman. however, such an approach is difficult to sell in american politics if us citizens come to the conclusion that the biden strategy in ukraine will lead to what political scientist max abrams called forever war, nati

country at this time took the form not of any institutional of the national government, as was the case with britain and its monopoly company, the hudson's bay company, but rather american interest in the oregon country in this era took the form of individual individual americans who had migrated to the region. as we've discussed previous classes, the mountain men such as jedediah smith, these are fur trappers from the rocky mountains. began to filter into oregon in the late 1820s, and then the 1830s, as we missionaries american missionaries begin to enter the region. henry and eliza spalding, marcus and narcissa whitman. here you see marcus whitman in a in an image. marcus whitman arriving on the great divide, basically cresting rocky mountains and beginning entrance into the oregon country on the 4th of july, 1836. and these missionaries, of course, were arriving, the oregon country, in an attempt to convert indians janus peoples to christianity. but also to proselytize to the increasing numbers of of settlers american settlers who were arriving in oregon. that said, however the american presence in oregon was fairly limited initially
