are you ready to launch a nuclear war over latvia?t do you think of sending your kids to defend the territorial integrity of estonia. our foreign policy establishment thinks it's well worth it in fact, under our current rules of membership in nato. all of this might merit a national debate. at some point when we are ready 28 years in. no, the left isn't in to national debates anymore. they are in to screaming and threats and criminal investigation and other forms of coercion. they like things the way they are in this country. they are benefiting hugely from the status quo and they don't like being challenged. they consider asking difficult questions a criminal act. just this morning, in fact, the most famous former federal prosecutor in the country explained this view on twitter he said this, quote: if true, trump should immediately and publicly state his apparent wish to withdraw from nato so he can be promptly impeached, convicted and removed from office. unquote. in other words, talking about leaving nato isn't simply unwise, accor

the new york times reports on the soviet—era secrets that have been raising eyebrows across latvia.eased this year. but many of the alleged agents claim to have been set up. the front page of the japan times looks at the possibility of a merger between renault and nissan. the paper says paris has been pushing the deal. but nissan is believed to want to reduce the influence of their french partner. and singapore might be known for sun rather then snow but they're apparently taking a closer look at the arctic. that's according to the straits times. shipping lanes and climate change are two issues both places share, despite the distance. now, babita, what stories are sparking discussions online? well, sharanjit — take a look a this tweet that has prompted a fiery response. british mum hannah summers revealed that her four—year—old daughter esme wished she were a boy so she could be a firefighter. when hannah said girls can be firefighters too but her daugther replied that "in books they are all boys and i don't want to be the only girl". hannah put it on twitter asking what to do and t

army poland and the british army jump into poland and latvia and any historian can look at that to draw a parallel between that and the operations of what advice would you offer to the multinational planners looking at those operations moving forward? . >> them a lesson is an interesting point that you make is the idea of dropping airborne forces well in advance of the main bulk of the troops was risky. general bradley was horrified that when people suggested remedy to do parachute forces as well for operation cobra. and with that strategy as part of the ground forces are concerned. so now i can understand if the situation of the baltic that they do need to have that tripwire and those airborne forces to drop is one way to provide that the we have learned through pretty dangerous area that shall we say russian forces are stronger on the ground than their air force i had to be at the ministry of defense as you are well aware the great operation from what was just taking place. and the swedes and the finns very briefly escaped russian reprisal to take part in the exercise but one certainl

in the 1990s our leaders decided it would be a wise idea to promise countries like latvia and estonia that we would use nuclear weapons to protect them if they ever had a problem with russia. why did we do that? well, who knows? the details are lost to history. >> ambassador, start wherever you wish there. >> first i'm going to send tucker a copy of my book. second, i'm going to remind him that it was george w. bush, republican president george w. bush that expanded nato to those countries, and that argument was very simple. we want to see peace and security and prosperity in europe free and whole. and we have benefited tremendously from that peace. people are forgetting that peace is the absence of war. we know what europe looks like without nato. and secondly, i just have to say, very concretely, some of those countries, estonia, for instance, lives have been lost. estonians have died fighting next to american soldiers. and they died not because they were attacked. they died because we were attacked on september 11th. and so for him to flippantly say, well, why do we have it? you kn

any kind of crime related to his dealings with julian assange or the russians or vladimir putin or latvian bloggers or whatever part of your fever dream you are talking about. i mean, like -- >> -- no. >> tucker: he was charged with lying. what would be the crime i've been asking for two years i have never gotten an answer. >> lying with obstruction of justice and witness tampering. not just lying. let's be clear here. the special counsel is still building a case. are people going to lie to the special counsel to obstruct justice. >> tucker: again, you just accused stone of a crime which he has not accused or charged by the prosecutors to the extent of the indictment. >> no he was charged with obstruction of justice and witness tampering. i'm going to waited to see what the evidence is. i don't wish anyone ill will. >> we'll be waiting. i will probably be in prison by then. >> scandals in his life. >> tucker: people with scansscandalous pasts are guilt. we know that. he will do anything to win. >> tucker: he is a bad guy. is he immoral. all right. thank you so much. well, the president ha

army, poland and british army jumped into poland, lithuania and latvia. and any historian can rook at that and try -- can look at that and kind of draw a parallel between that and the operation market garden. my question is what kind of advice would you offer to multi-national planners as they look at those kinds of operations moving forward? >> well, i think that the main lesson coming out of market garden -- interesting point you make -- is that the idea of dropping parachutes or airborne forces well in advance of the main bulk of ground troops is, was risky, to put it mildly. general bradley, who was horrified by the whole idea of market garden as he'd been horrified when people had suggested in normandy that they should do paratroop forces well forward of operation cobra. he knew perfectly well that affects your end tactics as far as the ground force is concerned and also puts the airborne force at risk. so there was the double reason not to do it. now, i can understand in the present situation of the baltics and threats there that one needs to have a

if estonia or latvia is joining nato, it is a choice for them.ereign decision by an independent nation to choose their own path. norway is a neighbor of russia. in 1949 -- tom: far away from the tradition of the baltic sea. jonathan: i love the geography with you. , we are not going to africa or asia. tom: look at the tumult in turkey and the last 24 months. how do we get turkey back to the europeans fear? >> they are an important ally. -- european sphere. isil, they control a territory as big as the u.k.. we have been able to take away that territory from them, not least because turkey as a nato ally has contributed to that fight. treaty andhe nuclear the risk the united states leaves it? >> the challenge, the threat now is that russia is violating the treaty. intermediate range weapons are banned. russia has developed and deployed new missiles, mobile, hard to detect, short warning times, meeting they decrease the level of potential use of nuclear weapons. they are extremely dangerous. recall on russia to come back in compliance with this treat

where is terminal value for latvia,the philippines, and on and on?to squeeze down here like all the major economies? sarah: i think if you're talking about the medium-term, you have to be pretty optimistic at the moment. countries like brazil have been through a squeeze. low commodity prices is not positive. the question is how far the new administration can make a difference in terms of reform. would perhaps shouldn't be too pessimistic about the. their work of the constraints that there were opportunities there as well for both scenarios. the question for the philippines, a country which is in a great position in terms of really leveraging on the asia growth story. again, in the current situation where you have such growth in china, that is not the for countries like the philippines and brazil. i think we would be cautious about the two cautious on china. beijing has been pretty successful in stimulating growth when it is required. they are already making moves to upset some of the trade measures. tom: we saw that this morning. the fact here is tha
