vladimir putin's army was able to reach latvia and estonia's capitals in less than three days.ato's infantry couldn't retreat for the most part. it was destroyed by the russian attacks. why the dramatic defeat for the most powerful military alliance on earth? rand says russia has far more firepower and manpower in the region. in the 1980s there were 300,000 u.s. army soldiers in europe. today there's 30,000. russia has 22 according to rand, while nato has 12 baltic ba it. talions. russia has vamped up their military maneuvers to a point unheard of since the cold war. what does nato need to do to face down this renewed russian threat? the obama administration's budget proposal this week would add one brigade for europe that rotates in from the united states, bringing the total to three brigades. rand says there needs to be more forces to prevent a quick takeover of the baltics. as rand points out, president obama made a solemn promise to baltic nations in 2014. >> we'll be here for estonia. we will be here for latvia. we will be here for lithuania. you lost your independence onc

military forces into nato member states including estonia, latvia, and lithuania.s this a prudent or a provocative move by president obama? pat buchanan? pat: john, the question is who started cold war ii? i think we kid. the soviets wanted to be friends and allies of the united states so we moved nato right into the baltic republics. three of which were part of the soviet union. putin is reacting to that. he's got a significant military build-up and now we're reacting to that. my view is -- i'm not against, frankly, a next president trying a real reset that respects russian national interests, they respect ours and we get away with this face-off. for heaven's sakes, any kind of war over estonia would be the end of estonia and a disaster that every great president of the cold war avoided. eleanor: first of all, the expansion of nato happened under bill clinton and was approved of by his secretary successors, including republican president george w. bush. so there is not a -- of obama. when obama took office he dealt very well with president medvedev and we had a fe

and then we went to estonia and latvia. there is great concern, why won't the united states stand behind them? especially in border states. they are concerned. we have concerned. we have to let them know and let the world no we are the strongest military in the world. i am wondering if there are strategies we might consider. you need to get them around these countries. putting troops on the border that is your call. we need to show we are strong and will not tolerate the aggression of russia and especially with our allies. >> i will start 1st. the reason we are quadrupling is precisely for the reason you say, to signal the determination of the united states and nato to defend nato territory. we do that with activity sets the permanent presence, exercises and so forth and russia should know that what they see in europe on a daily basis is not what we used to defend europe. we have plans to do that, the defense of nato territory and we would do it with the full weight of the united states as has always been the case. it will

we need to be doing military exercises if not only estonia but latvia and lithuania.y the saber rattling. i think we ought to put in our missile defense system. i think we ought to give ukraine offensive weapons and i think we ought to fight them on the economic basis because putin is a one-horse country, oil and energy. and we ought to fight them on that level. we ought to be helping in terms of the technology for fracking keeping the price low, quite frankly, because that's what's keeping him contained. so, yes, i'd absolutely would go in if he attacked, i think article 5 of nato, we would definitely protect all of our allies. >> gentlemen, you've all said that the iran nuclear deal is a bad one. senator rubio, you're among the candidates who've said you would tear it up on day one. but as you know, iran has already received tens of millions of dollars, tens of billions of dollars in this deal and has quickly reestablished ties economically with europe. the major concessions, in other words, are up front in this deal. so should you win by the time you take office, t
