, a nato that is stronger militarily, economically and geographically in europe is a nato that needs to lean less on american power. we ought to welcome strong capable allies in europe who can free up the american military to focus more on the pacific theater. that's dubbably true -- doubly true when there is erickson and nokia that can help us beat china in the global technology race. others have objected that the majority of nato members are currently failing to pay their fair share toward our common defense. i agree here too. i'm tired of freeloading, grandstanding friends. how is that a criticism of sweden or finland. as i said, finland pays its fair share and sweden has chartered a clearer path their than many nato members. and both nations are doing so for a reason more durable than diplomatic sweet talk, perceived danger. some claim that expanding nato will provoke russian aggression, but the fact is nato expansion is the result, not the cause, of russian aggression. countries are banking on nato -- banking on nato's door because of russia's behavior. as i

nato. it was and is a watershed moment in the alliance and for the greater security and stability not only of europend the united states, but the world. today we take another important step toward bringing sweden and finland in nato. in a few minutes i will sign the u.s. ratification making the united states the 23rd ally to approve sweden and phillips membership to the most powerful alliance in the history of the world. i had just gotten off the phone with both the president and the prime minister. they send their best. i offer my congratulations on your numbers progress. together we committed to continue to remain vigilant against any threats to our shared security and to deter any confrontation and confront any aggression or threat of aggression that might come up. i urge the remaining allies to complete their own ratification process as quickly as possible. for more than seven decades, nato has been the foundation of america's security. not just in europe, but the basis of security around the world. it is how we have let the world together with those nations that share our vision and even more i

the same time he emphasized that russia failed to split western society, on the contrary, and nato, europebecame more united, and nato will even accept two new members. well, the most important thing is the end all of this should lead to the defeat of russia, this is a real possibility, said mr. levyts, but everything depends on the ukrainians themselves and the military footing with the west. and also, mr. president congratulated the ukrainians on independence day. what exactly did he say, let's hear it directly, dear ukrainian people. i congratulate you and your president on the day independence this year, this day is special because you are again fighting for your state and a free, democratic and prosperous nation of latvia and will continue to support you aspen in possible ways of efforts of the russian imperialism and its terrorism must be stopped once and for all. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. well, thank you very much to our friends from latvia. to overcome any obstacles that occur on their way, and in particular the obstacle that russia has created with its aggression, so

foundation for lasting peace and security and through more than seven decades, nato has proved the indispensable alliance committed to europehole, free, and at peace. today we see all too clearly that nato remains an indispensable reliance for the world of today and the world of tomorrow. our alliance is closer than ever. it is more united than ever and when finland and sweden bring the number of allies to 32, we will be stronger than ever. [applause] this will benefit all of our people. i will go over to that table and sign the ratification. communicating that it is important for membership of nato and thank you all for being here and i want to ask the ambassadors if they are willing to come up and stand with me while i sign. thank you. [applause] [applause] [applause] ♪ >> do you approve of the trump parade, mr. biden -- the trump raid, mr. biden? pres. biden: thank you all. [applause] >> at least six presidents recorded conversations while in office. here many of those conversations. >> the nixon tapes, they are part private conversations, part deliberations, and 100% unfiltered. >> the main thing is that it will pass, a

against this external aggression, and we clearly say that this is not in the interests of ukraine, nato, europe, and not in our interests if russian aggression against ukraine becomes even larger if this war goes beyond the borders of ukraine, spills over into europe or brings russia into conflict with nato and the united states it is nobody's business it is not necessary, but what is in our interests. this is to restore the territorial integrity of ukraine. that's it, riznyak. well, you see, if you and i didn't want to speed up the delivery of weapons or for the weapons to be more serious. and this, i think, you also hear it from your guests, from experts. you hear it on the air. but nevertheless , the united states is guided by just such a logic, they look at every step from the standpoint of whether it will help ukraine or gain an advantage at the front, or whether it will provoke russia to worsen the situation on the new death to the fact that this the war could take a new, much more dangerous turn. well, this is the logic of the american administration. that's why, for example, when the de

already go there, and in this sense, we then have to rely on ourselves to a greater extent, well, nato europeher we will not be left alone, but american support will of course be less if there really is some kind of confrontation in the asian region for them in october there should be a landlis here and if there is still a conflict between kataev and ivaniv, it is dangerous to talk about some kind of lend-lease for the taiwanese well, yes, the same, the same well, the problem is that i say that the taiwanese are already selling billions of us dollars of weapons and have sold and are selling and will sell, there is no such question that if taiwan is not protected yes , that is, here the question is what is the real question, to what extent? yes, to what extent will the united states participate in this conflict, that is, if it is a direct nuclear conflict, you understand, then hmm, that is, that will be all. that is, there will be no local conflict, you understand. there will not be limited because the americans and their wives, as a rule, no no, well, they are not limited to some kind of conf

the weapons will already go there and in this sense, we should count on a greater extent, well, nato europel most likely not leave us, but american support will of course be less if there really is some kind of confrontation in the asian region, we are waiting for them in october, there should be a land forest here, uh, don't forget, and if there is the conflict is still between the chinese, but it is dangerous for an ivanivite about some kind of lend-less for the taiwanese. well, the same, the same. well, the problem is that i say that the taiwanese are already selling billions of us dollars in weapons and have sold and are selling and will continue to sell there is no such question as to whether taiwan would not be protected, yes, that is, here the question is that, uh, the question is really to what extent yes, to what extent will the united states participate in this conflict, that is, if it is a direct nuclear conflict, do you understand? well, then that's all it will be. that is, there will not be a local conflict , you understand, it will not be limited because the americans and thei

in 2014 begins and winter approaches, energy supplies will have more of a political impact on europe and nato relations with russia putin will use energy weapons to weaken the coalition putin is being helped in this high inflation and political instability back west politics in the usa and italy is controversial in the united kingdom for the fourth prime minister, the previous three were effectively removed from office urgent the question is how long the consensus and agreement with the west on support for ukraine will last. especially if the war escalates or shows signs of permanent, stagnation, the only reasonable outcome is negotiations, which should perhaps begin with a forced ceasefire zelensky must understand that a cessation of the war is necessary if ukraine wants to survive, as an independent state? well, you can, of course, consider that this point of view is a

but e nato is still nato in europe, the threat of a military conflict was some kind of reaction. , as always, the forces for kosoy, which are made up of nato contingents, are reacting, reacting, reacting. uh, very formal. yes , they are present with everything, but uh, in this case, as before, in this case, in general, they, uh, you can say, are serving a number. we have long paid attention to the fact that these forces, which were created on the basis of or within the framework of the resolution of the un security councils, must fully fulfill their mandate, of course, this is under all sorts of explanations that the situation has changed, what kosovo they say became an independent state, since nato members well, the majority recognize kosovo and so on, therefore, the tasks of the forces seem to be changing. for kosovo, although no one changed their mandates, uh, there was a major agreement on under the activities of or under the guise of the activities of the forces for kosovo uh, the americans created uh, strengthened their base, equipped their base in outer space. this is all t

the west seeks to spread its bloc system there, by analogy with nato in europe, and it is possible that in the near future the bite will join the association new partners. in the global dimension, the emergence of a nuclear fleet in australia will give other states a reason to start developing similar weapons. pandora's box will be opened. the global nuclear arms race will resume. will be brought to this region technical word. for this, it is already being laid by the active promotion of aviation technology . american production, participation of nuclear and non-nuclear states in joint exercises on the use of nuclear weapons. it is contrary to the obligations under the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. the transfer of the practice of nuclear training from europe will explode although it can be assumed that this is precisely the goal it sets for itself, the united states of america now has the latest data on how the special operation to protect the donbass is going in the solidarity area counterbattery hit two platoons of multiple launch rocket systems grad of our air d

, a nato that is stronger militarily, economically and geographically in europes a nato that needs to lean less on american power. we ought to welcome strong capable allies in europe who can free up the american military to focus more on the pacific theater. that's dubbably true -- doubly true when there is erickson and nokia that can help us beat china in the global technology race. others have objected that the majority of nato members are currently failing to pay their fair share toward our common defense. i agree here too. i'm tired of freeloading, grandstanding friends. how is that a criticism of sweden or finland. as i said, finland pays its fair share and sweden has chartered a clearer path their than many nato members. and both nations are doing so for a reason more durable than diplomatic sweet talk, perceived danger. some claim that expanding nato will provoke russian aggression, but the fact is nato expansion is the result, not the cause, of russian aggression. countries are banking on nato -- banking on nato's door because of russia's behavior. as i m

europe as well. i worked quite extensively with nato in europe as well.— in europe as well. i did, yes.easure to be with _ in europe as well. i did, yes. it is a pleasure to be with you. - in europe as well. i did, yes. it is a pleasure to be with you. the i in europe as well. i did, yes. it is. a pleasure to be with you. the last three years of my career were in germany, so it was an interesting end to a long career. did germany, so it was an interesting end to a long career.— germany, so it was an interesting end to a long career. did you ever envisaae end to a long career. did you ever envisage a — end to a long career. did you ever envisage a situation _ end to a long career. did you ever envisage a situation like - end to a long career. did you ever envisage a situation like this, i end to a long career. did you ever envisage a situation like this, in l envisage a situation like this, in which russia would attempt to regain territory that had been lost when the soviet union broke up? you know, uuite the soviet union broke up? you know, quite frankly — the soviet union broke up? you

the collective west seeks to extend its bloc system to the asia-pacific region by analogy with nato in europe for this purpose aggressive military-political alliances are being formed. such as the auction and others, it is obvious that it is possible to overcome the threats and risks in the military-political military-political sphere to reduce tension in the world, to increase the level of trust between countries and ensure their sustainable development only by radically strengthening systems of the modern multi-dimensional world. i repeat again the era of the unipolar order is becoming a thing of the past, no matter how the beneficiaries of the current globalist model cling to the usual state of affairs, it is doomed. geopolitical changes on a historical scale are going in a completely different direction, and your conference, which brought together representatives from many countries who want to discuss issues in the field of security on an equal footing, to conduct a dialogue that takes into account interests of all parties without exception. let me emphasize that a multipolar world built

values ​​there. democratic values ​​in relation to the security of ukraine today actually defends nato and europetern flank of nato and the european union, from the russian military threat , so i think that it was not by chance that we were given the status of a candidate precisely because of these merits of ukraine, which are the most difficult to fulfill like us we see now because we really pay for this european integration with blood and great sacrifices, so in this sense, i think that if we don't even do something , we should be credited with it in advance, even though of course, ukraine is fully determined to fulfill all the criteria, all the cooperation criteria, to become a member of the european union and, accordingly, nato, and in this sense, i think that the constitution was correctly introduced into the constitution. this direction is a member of the european union because this is our foreign policy course and in this case this provision serves as a safeguard so that no one deviates from this course of european euro-atlantic integration . of european integration, let's now give somethi

why is it so important for america to nato to europe for all these world political and financial playershat ukraine does not lose american intelligence works for ukraine, they are investing all their incredible resources with all their space in this war and the whole world secretly knows about it, how america is investing, imagine what will happen if russia beats ukraine ukraine is 35 million people endless human resources colossal combat experience of the ukrainian army expelled, however, to fan-made models, who built the best fortifications in the world under the guidance of nato specialists in the donbass and fired officers on the three lines of defense. highly motivated in general. the highest motivation of society, faith in the idea and willingness to die for it, all the conversations that i had with these azov people were difficult for me to understand. because they always told me that they would very much like to. sorry for that expression. find russian dogs, jewish africans, first of all , jews, in order to burn them, let me explain, this means in fact they wanted to use the tort

s. territory. se nato should stop developing its military infrastructure in europe. with the aim of preventing another pernicious nuclear arms race, russia has unilaterally undertaken the commitment not to be the 1st to deploy systems covered by the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty and regions where such u. s. made systems are not deployed. we call on the united states and its allies to undertake similar commitments. russia is not the only country concern about us nuclear proliferation. beijing has also called on washington to reduce its appointments and returned to dialogue on arms control issues. china accuses the u. s. of posing a threat to international peace and security with its diverse nuclear arsenal. may the united states should withdraw all its nuclear weapons from europe and refrain from deploying nuclear weapons in any other region. any attempt to replicate nato's nucular sharing model in the asia pacific region would undermine regional strategic balance and stability, and would be firmly opposed by the countries in the region. and when necessary,

say there was a kind of a 56 years in the ninety's, but soon the west began to expand through nato in europe. and then of course, we know what's, what's happened in the middle east, so forth. in the last 2025 years, the u. s. has been very expansionary, particularly, you know, in europe and now you know, so i believe that the cold war didn't, and it was a temporary hiders and ended intensified in the course. it's intensifying even further. so i would agree with that proposition, the cold war never really ended. and in the last 2025 years, it's been getting progressively worse. dr. jack ross, my professor economics and politics us and mary's college of california. many thanks for joining us. aeronautics international. we appreciate your insight, my blue, o mean time back at home, go to watch off for implemented a spread of domestic social political in economic reforms, including the complete democratization of soviet policies and an intended boost for the economy. of course, no discussion of soviet policies will be complete without mentioning glass and often perestroika. glass north was the t

and he underestimated the resilience of the g. 7 of nato of europe, of all of the countries that stand together against this illegal, unthinkable invasion. we will demonstrate through our solidarity through our response, through our support for ukraine, that putin will not profit from this mistake. next question. we won't get so good morning with a question for both. if you can you crane or felt betrayed on the sending the turbine into germany. what do you say to you say that your privilege, the candidate german relationship then rather than that with the crane and for ms. monterey. true. are you going to turn back on your decision about delivering the 5 other job i actually you bring in the sections with the 3rd in europe and germany will continue to be reliant for the coming year or 2 on russian oil and gas imports. position specifically on gas. russia does not want to continue to send as much oil and gas as is needed to europe. but russia doesn't want to take responsibility for its choice to not live up to the contracts they have with europe. and so they are looking to blame anyone

the redeployment of what was the decision to strengthen the military had the capabilities of nato in europee were certain decisions to increase the american contingents in european states . which really, on the one hand, will partially give a sense of security to the countries where these american units are located, and then and here the plan to strengthen the alliance will be drawn up, which then the russian threat, which includes, in particular, an increase of military infrastructure, the infrastructure of increasing the number of combat-capable units there to 30,000, we are talking about a rapid response unit that can immediately in a week or even sooner, military operations to protect the borders of the alliance would begin nato countries in order to provide the necessary reserves, given that they understand that it is impossible to predict russia's actions and that one must be aware of the risks that may cause russia's actions in other countries outside of ukraine nato, of course, such a scenario is not rejected in view of the new concept of the alliance . ukrainian military and civili

nato. he supposed to europe an anti russian, the sanctions, serbia, nato, serbia, in european union service. why in april? because an 8th or is not just me to tell you, organization needs, he's political organization to. if you say i want to approach an aide go, it means i want this vest then by and the european you only on is probably on the road. oh oh, that is a local us a sense to me to meet you was you know, probably a good this is she'll get is she has any my colleague or a boy, a girl that she's a hook in the last presidential election to serbia. 160000 serbians voted for minute systemic kosky. she came 5th, but still consider it a victory of heat again. so be joining nato and sharpie criticizes the government for it's done on sanctions from a sample nation. no, dear, thanks. yeah, yeah. nestor for a was up and in political kareema, a financial chava, a model of them and i can be a manual if i break is like a bill that you book them. i will see a b. that's for me a little more than ever post cnas m. yeah, put back a call them with for what our board a it will not work if shares come

russia is also an asian country and we need to develop military cooperation. similar to what nato does in europe propose lower gibberish official for to swing by. look, nowhere or move on to treat was the search for new markets, import substitution. the word sanctions has become part of our data vocabulary, neutralize. if i did with more and more reports of restrictions, however, sanctions has an instrument of influence and nothing new. they've been used against russia for decades. son to america 3rd year is part of the kitchens through mill. upstairs with nobody in your car been here before you move. oh and then did the united states come up with this concept of sanction instead of real military action operation sanctions can be imposed when you don't know what to do. does the united states want to go to war with russia over ukraine? i can tell you right now bit, that would not be a popular outcome. a given the fact that russia has 6000 nuclear weapons, we have 5500 in any war with russia. we're the attend because a global temperatures rise by say, 200000 degrees or meaning the end of the world

nato. he supposed to europe an anti russian, the sanctions, serbia, nato, serbia, in european union service. why serbia, in april, because an 8th or is not just me to tell you, organization ladies, political organization to the fuel, say i want to approach and a go, it means i want this vest then by and the european jani on visit, probably on this quote. oh oh, i want to meet with you was you know, i live lastly a little. it's not a good this is so get it should as any my don't qualify for be a boy a girl. this is a hawk in the last presidential election to serbia. 160000 serbians voted for minute systemic kosky. she came 5th, but still consider it a victory. i hate again. so be joining nato and sharpie criticizes the government for it's done some sanctions from a sample nash with no, dear thanks. yeah. your next the thought of a relative was up in police can call emma a financial chava a p model them in a couple be a minute. i pretty sick and i don't know smart them die yet or some bullshit. believe him and not to penny are stick was up under my master bill that you booked them. i will see

nato. he suppose, europe and anti russian sanctions, serbia, nager, serbia, in european union, serbia, and of us. why serbia, in, because nato is not just military organization made. so he's political organization to. if you say i want to approach it means i want this vest them by and the european you only on did probably on the road. oh oh, that is a local us go laira to me to meet you was you know, a little story. yeah. not a problem. and i was there any, maybe my, this is she'll get it should as any, my colleague or b, a boy in english by posada. so the girl that she's a hook in the last presidential election to serbia, 160000, serbians voted for minute systemic kosky. she came 5th, but still consider it a victory of heat again. so be joining nato and sharpie criticizes the government for it's done on sanctions from a sample nation. no, dear, thanks. yeah, yeah. nestor thought a was happening. political kareema, a financial chava, a model them and i can be a manual if i break is like a lemon law to penny a bill that you booked them. i will see a b. that's for me. a little more than ever

so we must, as democracies, as europe, as a whole, and as nato, not be afraid to be strong.our partners in the eu and nato not learned the same lesson that you've just described to me? france and germany, for example, italy, as well, spent less than 0.1% of their gdp on assistance to ukraine. you've spent close to 0.8—0.9%, you and estonia, right up there — france, germany, italy, nowhere. we've donated, what is today, more than a third of our military budget. it's extraordinary. and we're continuing. you've just sent howitzers, you've just sent military helicopters. yes. my point is exactly that — you are doing so much. partners like germany, france and italy, by the same standard, doing so little. well, someone has to lead in any situation. one can also lead by example, if not by sheer size of the economy. we in the baltics, we are leading by example. great britain is very active in this, the united states is very active, canada — other nato partners are ramping up. i would want them to ramp up more. let's turn this ramp this up a little bit and just ask how sustainable yo

in particular, and there among the signatories and the former commander of the armed forces of nato in europe and naturally yes, uh, who just gave the order to use military force in june 1999 and knock out russian paratroopers from uh , the airport of pristina, as well as. eh, filibreed. lao and former united states ambassadors to europe uh john herbst. a e, who used to be on our program very often and e taylor, that is, they are demanding to increase the supply of weapons, since they appeal to the fact that right now is a critical moment in the course of the military conflict, but the biden administration is not yet clearly ready, e, to comply with this requirement about this is not unambiguous. yesterday , an official representative of the state department spoke out. no price list listen we have provided ukraine with everything necessary so that it can defend itself against an external aggressor. however, we have repeatedly said that this is not in the interests of ukraine, nor in the interests of nato. it is in the interests of europe and not in the interests of the united states that russ

that is why it is so important for us in nato and in europe to stand together now.utin's attack on ukraine is an effort to bring europe back to before the fall of the berlin wall. an effort to break the national rule-based system we have developed since the second world war. putin is longing back to the growing russian empire of colonial times. he sees his neighborhood states as a buffer, he can pick and choose and it is not going to happen. it is a direct attack to prosperity. we do not want to go back to the days of empire and military conquest. we have been there, we added the understanding that we cannot go back and we must not go back. that is the reason why it is important for the west to continue to stand together. i salute as a way that ukraine is fighting back so fiercely. russia has underestimated the power of freedom and self-rule. ukraine's fight for freedom is far from over and it is crucial that we continue our active support with weapons, sanctions, support. when need to protect our common values, democracy, peace, freedom, rights, and this fight goes

crisis that has engulfed our planet , what is happening to ukraine now and, in general, nato's behavior in europeent continent for 30 years. this is a lesson for the whole world. you think that in other regions the united states and allies will behave differently, history shows that this is not the case, so do not ask who the bell tolls for today , it will ring for you. well, as for the actual shelling from the apu. today the donbass again turned out to be a letdown, ukrainian artillery fired more than 130 shells into the residential areas in the morning. two civilians were killed, two wounded were destroyed, five houses were destroyed. urgent messages in these minutes come from the rostov region. the area of ​​\ u200b\u200bthe forest fire, which even during the day threatened residential buildings, increased three times at once. the real fiery apocalypse already covered 50 hectares. earlier, the flames were rapidly approaching one of the villages in the ministry of emergency situations, they say that the threat was eliminated by smoke. now shrouded, large plot the federal highway don, along whic

responsible for the war in ukraine by pushing nato expansion we can get to him in a little bit but to your point about those wars they convinced countries in eastern europe that they needed to be in nato, especially the chechnya in the 1990s 1990s. he do great that that's a very important point that the way in which russia boris yeltsin's russia in the 1990s, of course before putin comes to power the way in which it managed some of its internal problems, especially the whole issue of chechnya, which is politically a part of russia, but it was a threatened to be a separatist territory and it was suppressed very brutally. i think that a lot of countries in central and eastern europe looked at that and said, well this makes the whole issue of joining nato all the more important. so yes, boriskelson's russia did quite a bit to advance the urgency of expanding the nato alliance so much focus on putin the 1990s are very important decade in this story on the road to war but you know when it comes to the nato question and whether nato should pack up its bags and go home because the warsaw pact had disolved or should expand slowly and selectively or basically put

asians, it. russia is also an asian country and to develop military cooperation. similar to what nato does in europe propose, lower gibberish official for to swing by look or to know, where are you in trade was the search for new markets import substitution. the word sanctions has become part of our data vocabulary. news wise if i did with more and more reports of restrictions. however, sanctions has an instrument of influence and.

nato. he supposed to europe an anti russian, the sanctions. serbia, nager, serbia, in european union service. why serbia in april, because an 8th or is not just military organization made. so he's political organization to. if you say i want to approach it, it means i want this best buy and the european yoni on is probably on the road. oh, oh. by that there's a local us, a sense to me to meet you was, you know, possibly a, maybe my, this is so get it should as any my colleague or be a born in english by posada. so the girl that she's a hook in the last presidential election to serbia, 160000 serbians voted for minute systemic kosky. she came 5th, but still consider this a victory of heat. again, sylvia joining nato and sharpie criticizes the government for it's done on sanctions from a sample nation. no, would you? yeah, yeah. nestor thought about it now was up and in political kareema, a financial chava, a model them and i can be a manual if i break is like a lemon law to penny aust. exec was up and a master bill that you booked them. i will see a b that's for me a little more than ever, or

much. rahman as a war, ukraine has also served as a wake up call across europe regarding the threats posed by russia is given the nato military alliance, not 30 countries, including the u. s. and most of europe, as well as turkey, a new sense of purpose, something many felt had been lacking in nato in recent years. with in just a few months of the invasion, finland and sweden also announced their intentions to seek nato membership of the decades of neutrality. division of finland is especially relevant. it means that nature will have a much larger border with russia. and as the alliance has started upgrading as rapid response force in europe from about 40000 before the war to over 300008 is also bumped up its forces in countries at europe's eastern border from romania and her vog area in the south to latvia. and lithuania, up there in the north, and for more we can now cross to brussels, where nato is headquartered. and as it happens, terry shoals are corresponded there is standing by terry. i'm at the start of that war. we saw natal more united than ever. is that still the case? that's right, gearhart in, in many wa
