is trying to fend off a triple threat from iran russia and china. and there is complete unanimity i've seen no dissent whatsoever among any of the mainstream commentators or political politicians liberal concerned. or what have you they all agree that they must rebut the russian chinese and the rainy and threat madness. and i can't see have that strategy can possibly prevail well you know ivan. i don't agree that there are threats whatsoever i mean china is a regional power russia is certainly. not a global power its reach is actually quite small and if you look at russian foreign policy and defense policy it's very they're most concerned about their sovereignty more than anything else and the near abroad i know some people don't like that term but it it's real ok i mean these these threats here in a rant on iran it's surrounded by. nato or nato related countries bases i mean this is all a fiction here but it certainly is very good for the arms industry i mean and donald trump has been so.

iran north korea as all lying regimes said that russia's meddling of the us election was a true act of war that would china and russia come out on iran side against the united states not even sure nato would even support the us the support they would get would be from saudi arabia and from israel that intersection is already underway bringing together israeli and saudi officials along with other gulf monarchies leaders. and i think that becomes very dangerous for the middle east as a whole the palestinians among others would pay the extraordinarily high price but i don't think that we're talking about a situation where any of the countries that were signatories to the iran nuclear deal for instance would somehow come out against the united states militarily i don't and i think that's a good thing that would be a disaster that would escalate the war even further just finally i mean this talk here in mainstream media of kicking rush of the u.n. security council because it doesn't vote britain's way john bolton doesn't believe the united nations exists could the u.n. come to the rescue against all the dreams

while trying to maintain a balance but russia's all talk with leaders go order china has the money all russia has is memories who glorious past it was when the overly copple for. people like to come to the bridge of orenburg to enjoy the sunset looking west towards europe but many confess that they're looking the other way more and more often. at this moment as i'm sure that it's easier will be our future just china and other european our other underside greeks developing their influence a life our culture well that's why injuries our future. may be the new silk road will cross the ural river tomorrow and in the end a modern highway will connect china to europe as the railway already does. it will be a europe that's currently coping with many crises and that doesn't seem to have yet grasped the extent and she ging pains project. how can your up counter the power structures china is building along its new silk road. how will europe was spawn to this new soft imperialism based on economic growth and imperialism that's redrawing the map between europe and asia. among the

developed but some some blunts of a nuclear weapon doesn't dod provide a certain guarantee to both russia and china that the united states would not intervene that recklessly on their borders no security going to use for russia provided by the russia nuclear and missile force or spirit all countries if they develop nuclear weapons they create in the long run increase instability i'm not saying that we can do anything about north korea nuclear weapons i'm just saying that from the point of view of the russian the national interest it's not a good use look now it's more scary but if north korea becomes nuclear it will become all you logical for south korea toward your korea as well. because yes no not say and probably believe they need nuclear weapons for defense but the us not forget it was in north korea invaded in one thousand fifty and it still official line is that does not exist so our study is in the us occupied territory to be eventually liberate it's ruled my cheapie did but if according to the north. this is a situation sort of what should not do probably develop nukes and if that happens w

we do not regard russia and china as adversaries and seek stable relations, we seek dialogue and these are security challenges for russia and china and as we address these challenges that are posed. we want to deter aggression, preserve peace and we do support the ultimate article six goal, the ultimate global elimination of nuclear biological and chemical weapons. but until that day comes when we can actually be there, we will protect the security of the united states, our allis and partners. so let me finish by saying that this i believe this npr is a strong statement of our commitment to do just that. by maintaining a effective nuclear deterrent. thank you. >> thank you anita. rob. >> thank you, paul. when paul asked me to join this panel i said i would love to do it as long as i don't have to talk about what is in the npr. somebody once said this npr has been the longest in history. in fact, you have seen versions of this in the you have i think t -- you know what is in there. it would be useful if i could explain the view from the trenches. sort of how we put this together and we

one is hypersonic vehicles which the us, russia and china are pursuing. another would be a modernized icbm, one of the things that's strange about nuclear posture now is that our fl bm's are more accurate than our icbms because the fl bm ballistic missiles one modernized at the end of the cold war and we did not can around to modernizing-- the icbms are bit older. >> the particular mission would be what? >> the more accurate a missile is been the better it can be used for counterforce targeting if you are trying to destroy missiles fly low the more accurate the strike the more likely you are to kill that target, so that contributes to counterforce within the us and it will continue i think to take steps to increase the accuracy of its defenses. another thing is that it's connecting a counterforce strike again from the us because we care about international law. we care about moral and legal concerns. we don't want to target population centers. we don't want a lot of collateral damage, so the move to build warheads is another thing combined with accuracy a

in countries like russia china churchy people are told is that simple and if you're a journalist there and you try to get beyond that you are facing scare tactics intimidation and i wonder is that where we're headed as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about the premier balance or being neutral it's about being truthful. funny was cordoned off and i work you know. the be . the boss the old woman the boy god of course the but beyond cold. the been strong law before the battle for the bronze players the old modern the but. the border is sold more by food i suppose modern world some of the arguably would come with the job with some good strong the brotherhood all sold for the board solid hardwoods above the book of the body above. lead the above the fold lead the legs lead the legislative play the lead the lead. the lead. the lead . the lead. the lug. the lead . the lead. the a. lead. the luck the lead . the lead. thank. you food. comes to me. been. reading oh mom wanting to go. wrong i think you know you. moved. she's gone off to

two powers to their nuclear capabilities have a capability to destroy our way of life that is russia and chinassia is a declining power. it's economy is smaller than italy economy smaller than five countries but it has a leader who is aggressive willing to take risks. as we saw in our elections in 016 as we saw in his speech last week boasting about new kinds of nuclear weapons and in ukraine crimea and actions throughout yiewrm. china on the other hand a rising power economy felt -- still growing at a rapid clip and plowing billions and billions of of dollarser year into research and say artificial intelligence and computing the kind of break throughs not just in industry but on the battle field that can allow them to have a huge leap ahead in term it is of military technology. but -- besides two great powers we have two rogue regimes as well iran and north korea are some may says that small problem in east asia for south korea and japan and the united states that's not the case. just last week, it wases publicly disclosed that -- exported a lot of chemical related -- technology to syria. whi

been okay have a chapter in the book of a nuclear exchange calculation between niceties in china and russia and north korea and what that would look like. if the united states went first with damage limiting strikes or if the adversary goes first. so one of the things that becomes pretty clear is balance of power matters so luckily the united states does have a first strike capability against nuclear -- against north korea then that is to the greatest extent possible to protect their missile-defense and to get nuclear weapons to the united states. but with china likely we do not have a first-rate capability but i do have significant damage capabilities it would be clear it turns out much worse. >> what kind of damage are you talking about? >> i should say with the logic of american nuclear strategy this is what the department of defense talks about the counterforce nuclear target so if you look at china's arsenal and the icbms those are fairly easy military targets and stationary targets. china has been interested in developing a submarine launch missile capability for some time this is one

also thank you the strategies says a central challenge facing the nation is a reemergence with russia and chinand this replaces terrorism with u.s. national security. russia and china poses threats we must better understandy. the objective and in doing so consider the full-spectrum capabilities of adversaries from the high-end platform to regular warfare approaches. without strategic -- for the full range of capabilities with military modernization asymmetric with conflict to undermine the lack of democracy. we have a cleared i understanding of president putin's assertion to have the great power status using every tool at its disposal to stabilize the rules -based international order the most pressing is that russia is already launching an assault later this year but we have barely heard that the white house isro not correct but with those dod components against other attacks against those fundamental institutions of society. we need a whole government approachoa with that competition that we face no response alone that china is a large entrepreneurial country to ensure that it hears the rules

between the two the two leaders and russia and china russia working with north korea and china workingwith south korea seem to be playing some type of tag team to facilitate a process and there's some evidently some real substantial things are actually being discussed about security guarantees and so on among the koreans among the curry that we have mentioned on the show multiple times that we think that the u.s. needs to butt out of this process of the korea's need to keep the u.s. out of the room this may be a chance for the u.s. deep state to interject itself back into a process that was bearing too much fruit and they need to have a number of american. put on what is a finger prints all over it and sabotage it to make sure that there is no agreement between a south korean president who seems all too eager for them on reaching some type of peaceful agreement when or if you know there's a lot of wiggle room here because. it's saying the obvious the trump is unconventional but he basically was replying to an initiative through another intermediary i mean there was no letter ok we don'

a killer and american mistakes in dealing with russia and we have this relationship between russia and china to become. quite a lot can be quite fit and would be quite difficult to undermine. there's nobody that's keeping goober as asian economy we're all working for below minimum wage at the end of the day if you factor in the ecological devastation of dancing chicken effect and all the cruelty prone eggs cool escapes this nightmare

and try to build trust and this shuttle diplomacy also between south korea and all the involved russia china japan and the u.s. was therefore very important and that's very important now that china also talks directly with the u.s. and look at these talks what do you think is the biggest risk right now to these talks. very bad coincidence that for example in the u.s. administration all of a sudden the hotline is take the seat and the whole process or that within north korea something happens that would have a bad result but that makes it so important that the people talk to each other and that the whole process is very transparent we heard also today from japan. there was this concern that. the talk is just being presented for the sake of talking and denuclearization is not the real goal do you think there's credibility i think japan is interested to to get on board and that's why being a little picky on the side we have here we want to be part of the story too of course we have to be cautious what we can expect from the talks but it is very important that these talks take place because that

the new national defense the centraltes problem is the reemergence of competition with russia and china and places terrorism as a primary. without question, both russia and china pose large threats to us. we must better understand their objectives and the means to which they will seek to achieve the. in doing so, we must consider the full spectrum of capabilities from our adversaries. low high platforms or approaches. we stress strategic competition over a full range of capabilities. from nuclear and military modernization to asymmetric operations below the level of military conflicts. we need a clear eyed understanding of president and use asserts a claim every tool at our disposal to re-stabilize the national order that has promoted strategic stability for decades. most important, the intelligence committee already believes that russia is launching an assault on the u.s. midterms elections, get we have repeatedly heard from administrative officials that the white house has not directed intelligence agencies to disrupt russian cyber attacks against the fundamental institutions of our s

pulling out of it all the major powers russia china india the e.u. the u.s. have all been developing hypersonic weapons underwater drones all of these things but it is much much cheaper easier to build and deploy missiles that can a vague missile defense then and then to create new missile defense that can counter those where it's just you just don't walk that stuff won't resolve the problem what we need a smart war heads and i think paradoxically it was a conservative speech putin was. that was to return to the safety to the period of say four years he said when u.s. has to come back to earth absolutely and he mentioned it in an interview that the united states actually destroyed the arms control system when they went out of there and they believe me sort of creature signed in one thousand and seventy two the whole idea of the treaty it was it's a very american idea you know to call boys are facing each other with these folds none of them has avoided profer west so the wall stopped shooting because each of them on the stand is going to be the death for the i

they have the ability to destroy our way life, that will be russia and china, russia is a declining powere economy is smaller than italy's economy. smaller than the five scandinavian nordic countries. but it still has a leader willing to take risks as a sino election for 2016. and leslie was boasting about nuclear weapons. as we have seen in ukraine, crimea and actions throughout europe. china on the other hand is a rising power. the economy is still growing at a very rapid clip. it is plowing billions of dollars a year into research. and not just industry but on the battlefield that will allow that to have a huge leap ahead in terms of military technology. besides those two great powers we have two rogue regimes as well. iran and north korea. some people might say north korea is a small problem and east asia for south korea and japan in united states is not the case. last week was publicly disclosed that dan exported a lot of chemical related technology to syria. which obviously creates a real problem for israel in the middle east. and then there's iran. if serious problem with nuclear w

in the kremlin but i think it's still on the table do you think there is any chance of either russia or china stepping into the void and how being the charm for ministration to secure these deal for the benefits of global security i'm very i'm we have to tread very carefully here and not see you invite any accusations of collusion but at the end of the day i think we would all agree that you know the peace on the korean peninsula is in the best interest of humanity isn't it not only humanity her marriage is something abstract but they argued just a few minutes ago. in korean peninsula is an interest of russia because russian interest and for basically showing a centrist. very simple cost russia warms. second russia of one's status quo sought russia of once didn't carry. if mr trump if president did mean business if he was really gory to deliver a strike against moscow a year m.s.e. war not their city yukio but a mess of war was the most likely outcome therefore any kind of reduction in tension is a good news for russia however talking about a possible negotiation than moscow well until recent

question, china and russia pose a threat to our national security. in order to counter these threats, we bus -- must understand our objectives. in doing so, we must consider the spectrum of capabilities of our potential adversaries. from high-end platforms to irregular warfare approaches. the kremlin is pursuing strategic competition across a range of capabilities from conventional modernization to asymmetric operations below the level of military conflict intended to undermine our democracy. we need a clear right understanding of president bush -- putin's ambition and using every tool at his disposal. there is also an assault on the year.m elections this we heard from administration officials that the white house has not directed the intelligence agencies. components to disrupt attacks against the fundamental institutions of our society. in the case of china, we need a whole of government approach we need a whole of government approach that counters the economic and military challenges we face. military response alone will not be successful. china i

europe as well, but you know, if you take those people, wherever they come from, whether it is russia, chinainvestment game, you cause a huge crush at a time when our economy is precarious anyway because of the uncertainty over wrecks it. and i think you know whether it is russian 01’ think you know whether it is russian or whether it is any other... —— brexit. it is a case of show me the money, isn't it? i don't think it's... money, isn't it? i don't think it's. . . are money, isn't it? i don't think it's. .. are you talking about the conservatives? if they were to give back the £800,000... absolutely. the venue and i would have to go and prove that who we are to sell a house or buy a house or anything else, it seems that different rules apply to different people who have a lot of money. 0k, somebody who will have a lot of money, it seems, let's turn back to the express and who dares wins, this is the sas training. you are looking lost, nigel. i am only lost because that is not me. i am lost no longer! crosstalk. honestly, he is dreaming. this is the sunday express, they must from this stor

on now do we expect anything different to change in terms of the bilateral relations between china and russia. well i think the relationship between china and russia. relatively mixed. in in fact your politics is not just i translate that into black and white friends all the time or any sort of time but i think nowadays there is more areas for cooperation between china and russia. as a another way to find the world order more skewed towards american first interests and secondly the approach to solving international issues is not always from the same kind of to quit using military quotient in article worst of course it's measures which will not necessarily satisfactory results so i think that there are areas for cooperation but the two sides are not forming up wrong because there are worries on both sides. for example far east as the. occupier and with with with more chinese happened the settling of that area but i think there will. be because of change there are more areas for corporation especially. under western sanctions and as for export of energy and gas there was a great opportunities f
