twain and grant, although there was a limited number of interactions they had, i know twain was really fascinated by grant and how such an unassuming character could be at the top of the most famous american of his time. i think he never quite got past that. and if you read mark twain's autobiography, you have to read i can't do justice to it here. mark twain's toast to the babies with grant in the room where grant just falls over laughing. it was really a wonderful little story. who? the babies. they remembered else. and they have to toast to the babies. more questions here. coming up. steven gilroy asks, what role, if any, did grant play in president johnson's impeachment grant? during the 1860s, during johnson's presidency, he remained the general in chief of the army, and he was involved a lot more, we would expect, say, a chairman of the joint chiefs of staff would be, which would be the modern counterpart to be involved in policy discussions. well, grant's during these years. grew more and more distant from andrew johnson immediately after the civil war. former confederate states

, the gradation of the excise tax, in relation to twains and in relation to cigarettes, of course. you stimulate the consumer, in the case of lower excise duties on tweens, to buy exactly this type of tobacco products, but why is such a diversification of excises taking place, for tweens one figure, for cigarettes - another, perhaps it is necessary to equalize these products, this is the tobacco market after all? well, look, you and i are going to europe, however, there is a european directive that very clearly defines the difference between tweens, well, theoretically. it is known that twain is safer for human health, and this, by the way, is also reflected in the tax politicians in european countries, well, for example, the council is interested, you know that the difference, for example, in finland between the excise tax on tweens and ordinary cigarettes, well, the excise on tweens, and there is somewhere on the order of 79 € per 1000 cigarettes, and and the excise tax on ordinary cigarettes is more than €350. look at the difference, if we look at this difference in european countri

this is a directive of the european union, twain is somewhere on the order of a little more than 70,e difference is small, although i repeat it once again. in european countries the difference is very big, but i gave you the example of finland, in general there the difference is somewhere at the level of 60-70% between excises on tween and excises on ordinary tobacco, and as i understand it, there will be a certain gradation of the introduction of these excises on certain, for a certain period, i mean until the 28th year, that is, it will be very taxing, well , just like with fuel, just like with alcohol, that is, we have certain obligations that will be determined. directives of the european union, in the same way we approach the european legislation, adapt to it and fulfill the directives regarding gasoline, diesel? well, look, i generally believe that this hate in social networks regarding the increase in excise taxes on fuel is, well, in my opinion, to some extent even an informational and psychological operation of our enemy, for one simple reason. let us remember the 22nd year,

when mark twain, the humorist and essayist was asked by a reporter about rumors of his failing health, twain famously answered, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated and i think that nato officials can certainly empathize with twain's reaction because over the past 75 years nato has had to navigate many serious tensions among its members. some of these were rooted in differences inside nato, about, for example, nuclear strategy, the alliance structure and its operations and others flowed from disagreements over policies of or actions by one or more allies outside in regions or on issues outside of nato's purview and just to give you a flavor of some of these not so important disagreements, during the 1950's, the allies were struggling over the questions of german re-armament and the succession into nato was the federal republic. the debate of the implications of a massive-- what was called the massive retaliation doctrine and that approach to nuclear strategy and very sharp divisions among washington, paris and london, during the 1956 suez crisis. the 1960's saw intense de
