isn't russia has not been a nation-state, for them it is a quest for identity.not only economy, oil, gas, pipelines or something else, it's very much part of their identity crisis, at only economic crisis. that's why because there was never russia that would fit into the existing borders and this is the country that has a problem with notion of borders, it's very problematic for georgia and other neighbors, that's still the process of the new russian identity. >> let me though that to kathryn stoner. are every day russians willing to remain poor compared to their western european brothers and sisters in order to live out this grand vision of something else that hasn't gotten here yet? >> i'm think the short answer is no, they're not. i would just want to point out just to give perspective. russia was growing rapidly between 200 2000 and 2008 gdp year on year. well, isn't that the sell of natural resources and october tracting industries. it's not on the basis of productive capacity. >> right, exactly. that's the problem is that in those rich times they didn't di

threats are no longer relegated to nation states. not nation state actors have the potential to exert a disproportionate force via cyber and other weapons of mass destruction platforms. in terms of one of these megatrends, and i am going to just talk to, like i said, two of them, the first estimate population. as this craft builds up, it goes from 1800 to 2015 s. so it gives you a little bit of perspective back a couple of hundred years in texas 2015. and to put it into perspective of the discussion in place today, world war two and pearl harbor, 1950 was the first global census ever taken, first time that the world was never counted. 2010 was the second time. the way i would describe it is, the world is at a crossroads, definitely today and in the future. you see it is an expensive change really of the last 50, 60 years. in 2008 here to percent of the world's population became urbanized. by 2015 there will be -- it is estimated that there will be 10 billion people on the planet, over three times as many as was counted in 1950. in a

tech tonic plates have shifted and the states like yemen and maybe like libya, it may not be one nation state anymore. they could splinter and that's possible in afghanistan and iraq. >> that's the british government. >> that's right. >> the most important thing of all the things in the united states, we were not. >> we should learn it's much easier to build them down than build up in government. >> you have spent a lot of time and had this interview that to me resonates. he almost admitted he would be the last monarch. a lot stronger and benevolent. i never know what to say he is. >> a strong man. >> he survived through this. what is the lesson that others can get from him to say -- what should be the leaders of the gulf states. what lesson should they take? >> he's done a couple of clever things and weirdly the situation helped him in the following sense. the people of jordan, many are unhappy with him and the way things are in jordan. look at syria and say god forbid. we will keep ourselves together here and not go with the streets in the same way. he has a lighter touch than a lot of the

communities are living in the cultures that had to do with pluralism and they are living with the nation states that need to secure the fidelity and the faithfulness of their citizens to the government first and foremost. that is the key element of the nationalism is that the nation comes first. so we have that in this country where if there is a war, somebody can't just say i don't want to go because it's against my religious beliefs. you have to demonstrate through a quite utile process that you are part of a religious tradition that has issued all violence no matter what because the nation has to assure that has citizens that will ultimately support it, and so i think that might be one reason for this kind of emphasis on persecution. also there is nothing that helps to define the insiders rather than outsiders and so just as the united states has its own history which the forefront on the particular episodes like the revolution in which there's a rejection of the british even as there is an acceptance that much of the federal culture came from britain, so many religious communities undoubted

, because a nation state is a kind of political artifice. it pulls diverse peoples together. and so you need an account of history that explains that you're actually all the same kind of person or that your different natures have been blended through experience. so what -- >> we the people? >> we the people. and the united states is a settler state. and this begins with colonial outposts in the wilderness. and our origin has a story then, has to be how did we go from being these small outposts to being the mightiest nation on planet earth? well, we did it by pushing the boundaries of the settlement out into indian country. we did it by ultimately fighting wars against native americans, driving them out, displacing them, exterminating them in some cases. and in the process of pushing our boundaries out, we acquired certain heroic virtues -- an ability to fight cleverly both as individuals and cooperatively, and a connection with nature which is particularly critical. as a country really develops you get a nd of american exceptionalist notion

that we challenge the idea of the nation's state? can you have a nation without shared religious values? >> guest: the challenge is to have a nation that allows for citizens to have certain freedom while at the same time not to rub against one another that will cause conflict. if my definition of what i share do involves something that and raise my neighbor -- and noise my neighbors they and if my prayer is noisy at certain times of the week is my neighbor allowed to stop me? lear is no right or wrong answer there has to be a deliberation to how that works. we have made this a very pluralistic society to have a former secular in many parts of the country where they try not to do so deliberately promote their religious identity in public they may have a bumper sticker or a crescent moon or the star of david but they play it down so nobody is in each other's face. but if you have a religious group whose mandate is followers should go door-to-door? some people find that to be offensive. they don't want people to come to their door to ta

and has allowed nation states, russia, china and others to allow them to collect information to keep america safe. >> snowden's legal adviser appeared on "meet the press." >> there are lots of time that society moves forward rather than backwards. for now, he doesn't believe and i don't believe that the cost of his life of conscience so should be a life behind bars. >>> police in phoenix say during a bank robbery attempt saturday the suspect mario garnett was shot and killed by a detective. he's believed to be the same man that allegedly robbed a bank in atlanta and shot and killed an officer in tupelo, mississippi. >>> they're getting ready in new york's times square. the amazing spider-man who was the official superhero on new year's eve helped test out that confetti. the paper was sent flying from the marquee of the hard rock cafe. and for the first time, a supreme court justice, sonia sotomayor, a new york native will be in charge of pressing that button that drops the sparkling ball to ring in the new year. >>> a rare shark sighting to tell you about in minnesota. a snow shark,

easier intelligence mission because russia is a very large of the soviet union was a very large nation state within embassies and armaments and the rest whereas today's threats are stateless international terrorists they are political writers of weapons of mass destruction so the intelligence job is a little bit harder here today in the post cold war era than arguably it might have been in the cold war absolutely mr allen this is a good point but you just mentioned russia and russia is also a target for international terrorism so is france so is germany but all those countries combined don't spend as much on intelligence gathering intelligence spending as the united states alone well i i don't know exactly how much russia spins on their intelligence it's based on history i imagine it's very very high russia is of course got an aggressive intelligence service that operates all over the globe the way we define intelligence here in the united states is not just the activities of the central intelligence agency it's also the support we give to our soldiers who are were engaged in iraq and also e
