it still hopes to build the south stream gas pipeline through serbia, increasing the dependence of serbia and the entire balkan region on russian energy. and even more dangerous is talk that russia seeks to expand its military partnership with serbia, perhaps co-locating russian and serbian troops somewhere in serbia. serbia, for the time being, believes it can straddle a relationship with the u.s. and europe on one hand, and russia on the other hand. there is no denying vucic wants an economic future with europe. he would not have supported and helped implement the historic agreement normalizing relations with kosovo if he didn't think it was required to stay on a e.u. path. but in other areas, he sided with putin, most recently when he rejected requests from the e.u.to join in the u.s.-e.u. sanctions against russia over its invasion of ukraine. now serbia should be able to have a relationship with russia and a relationship with the european union. but i left belgrade seeing some alarming parallels with ukraine. and these are apples and oranges, but former ukrainian president yanukovych

bill clinton defeated serbia with air campaign alone.here was not a single soldier that touched the ground in kosovo. sufficient casualties was almost non-existent. here we have kurdish troops and iraqi troops , which we did not the war on kosovo. we can still not defeat isis. sending an aircraft carrier is not a commitment to this war. if we had the same commitment war would inton this. be over. >> you are saying that more strikes would show more commitment? >> if you look at what bill not a n did there was single casualty civilian, there until trikes every day serbia leader left. >> if we send troops with better start raising taxes. from the democrat line. >> my nephew got killed in vietnam. i have been working with the service and everybody else. i am very ars old and ill. has blood all over its hands. in the iraq war, a quarter of 1 million people died that we slaughtered. don't you know that when you kill those people's families are going to come? if you kill my family. i will get up this sickbed and i will come. we need to prayand

russia called, and israel called them and they have a fan base in serbia, which is interesting to me, and then there was the want to write a book? and out i am interviewed about the book. >> host: right, yeah. here we are. tell us a bit about that book are coming, about the essay. why did you decide -- you heard similar comments before. >> guest: i was in a mood. that literally was it. somebody asked a question and i thought, i know the answer to this one and i'm incredibly worthy. so i often wrote responses of that length. maybe not quite that way, but fairly well-known for long comments. there was one. but that one in particular, for whatever reason adelman the original wording of the think i was responding to, but something about the wording made me think i can explain this. and so i did. as much as i was capable of that 2:00 in the morning after longship, and that really was it. it was kind of a gut level like you, i know this one. and so off it when. i didn't get nearly as much fun as people give me credit for. >> host: the essay like the book gives us a tour of the things that p

but, in fact, this was the same strategy bill clinton used in serbia, in kosovo in 1999. it worked then, it worked now. let's take one more question because i know these guys want to wrap up. yes, ma'am, in the back. why don't you come on up, okay? >> okay. first of all, thank you so much for being here, and i can't wait to read your book. >> oh, great. >> and my question is, do you personally think that we will be able to flip the senate in three weeks? >> well, you know, kind of interesting because this show won't be on until after that. [laughter] >> what do you think now? >> so i'm going to give -- i'm going to skirt that answer altogether. i think there's a good chance we'll do that. i think there's a chance we will. [applause] i don't want to seem to be a prognosticator. okay, last question, ma'am. okay. >> i just want to say this: when dineshty size d'souza wrote the book "root of obama's rage --" and we all need to pray for him because he's being closely monitored by the government. >> yes. >> anyway, the thing is, is that what has come of movie and the book and a

saying makes sending troops to fight isis different from, for example, clinton's use of force in serbiageorge h.w. bush's in panama or reagan's in grenada? what's the difference? >> i think the difference is that every expert thinks that this is going to be a lengthy war. most people think that it will require boots on the ground at some point. i think everybody on both sides or most people on both sides understand it's a real stress to continue this particular action against isis under this authorization that was passed ten years ago and had teefrg do in 9/11. th was a real stretch. we know we were in political crazy season before this. we were in the middle of election and there are things people didn't want to do. but i think this is the time for president obama to write up his use of authorization. speaker boehner told him that in the meeting they had on friday. write it up, let me get the democrat votes, you get the democrat votes and i look forward to debating it. i think the american public deserves the right to have this debate, to have their representatives debate this and i th

german chancellor angela merkel said this isn't just about the ukraine but about moldova, georgia, serbia. do you see that as vladimir putin's endgame? >> she's absolutely right that this isn't just about ukraine. but this is a crisis with russia. this is a russian crisis, not a ukrainian crisis. we've seen it play out in georgia, in moldova in the past. and what needs to -- the case that needs to be made again is to the kremlin and to the russian leaders, to president putin, that in the long term, russia's strong future lies in being in partnership with europe and with the rest of the world, not an antagonistic relationship with them. this is a crisis that's much bigger than just ukraine. it's a crisis that implicates the long-term objective we've had since the fall of the berlin wall. to see europe at peace. and right now, russia's actions are extremely destructive and detriment detrimental. >> thank you, ambassador. >> thank you, brianna. >>> america's top spy speaking about his mission to north korea to bring home two american captives and what he was most nervous about. >>> breaking

again mechanized force from czech republic, civilian battalion companies and platoons from albania, serbia and other nations. we had many nations. well over 6,000 soldiers. this time we did what was different. we just didn't train in germany which we normally do. we expanded and did an air field seizure and simultaneously in latvia and lithuania with the airborne brigade. we landed nato c-17 planes and were able to drive striker vehicles out of the c-17s. we seized an airfield several countries away while training and conducting a large scale exercise there. we're building on that nato operability. we're building on that partner capacity and we're doing this well before the crisis started. it certainly has increased since. i'm really here to report my mission to get over there and get the u.s. army in europe with nato, it's successful. we have a strong alliance that can respond to security concerns today. they responded as a member of a very, very strong alliance. >> can you talk about how nato operations in afghanistan and lessons learned from that -- i don't know if this is true. iminfer

to give to the ukrainians, we should be paying attention to what russia's doing today in latvia, serbia to prep the next set of crises. and hopefully this committee will be able to grapple with the need to have a much more robust conversation about how we meet those new russian tactics. and hopefully, i think you understand that, but it'd be great to see real proposals coming out of the state department, some new innovative proposals about how we revamp programs so it has any semblance of a chance to match up against what the russians are providing in the periphery of their area of influence. >> senator, let me say briefly that is something that if confirmed i would welcome working with you and other members of this committee on. you're exactly right, russia has a panoplea of tools. we see it in the ukraine, the balkans and places farther flung. and, for us to be effective, we have to be focused on that, as well, and indeed, we are. it's something we welcome working on with you. we have just a small point on this, and in the context of ukraine, we immediately stood up an effort that our
