that's an organization built to battle the soviet union. i'm gonna go in there and say that might not have been a good idea. so i called my friend back i said, okay. i'm ready to give the lecture and he said great your topic is counterintelligence. i don't know anything about counterintelligence. i get this whole speech ready about the soviet union. he said no, you can't give that speech. so i realized i was very disappointed and i just started wandering around and thinking about it and then i thought you know, i do have the outline. why don't i make it a book. that's kind of the the genesis. oh, well, thank you to the cia. yeah. thanks to the cia for some other things that they've done for, you know showing us how not to do certain things now, i think one of the things before we go any further is to understand that this is not against the us policy. it's not saying, you know, we shouldn't have a foreign policy. we shouldn't have a cia but the question is what do we do? that's actually in our self-interest and what do we do that actually is

ukraine has forged anha independent path since the collapse of the soviet union. itl has promoted democracy. it has promoted civil society. in that sense it isit an alternativeus to the russian regime enter russian politics as a whole. the threat from ukraine as it provides ann alternative path that has ramifications affirm russia. ukraine has two revolutions essentially and suggest there is another potentially evolution underway. putin does not want them to haveth it. >> explain why because a stan is adding to attention. >> is adding to the tension because russia has vowed to send troops under the collective. they have only but russia is now assuming the role of restoring ability and order and causes done. that may take a few days, that may take a few weeks. or it may take a longer time. putin has exposed himself to get another potential front he has to deal with. simultaneously while he has a brinks brinkmanship's policy in ukraine. honestly, putin can pursue two of these policies at the same time the question is at what cost rick works joint in this conversatio

at the time, russia then, the soviet union, they drove him to return to help rebuild the country. after the savage invasion and occupation, my nazi germany, my father. when we lived in canada, the 2nd world war broke out and day it was well devastated by the war. and after the war ended, my father was followed the movements of the front. please from frank, going east and then rolling back towards berlin. and he, the reason we came to the country, he said, let's go to live my homeland and help the people rebuild them their whole mind. i was 20 years old 19 at the time. and my brother was 20 and do we upheld my father's initiative? and we came to this country to help rebuild the family, waited for permission to enter the soviet union for several years. and only in 1951 . the soviet embassy in washington sent a positive response. the watts family set off without having any idea how different life had become in the soviet union. on april 3rd, 1952, george watts, his family returned to the u. s. s. r. we got out of the train that brought us across the river from poland into bela russia

>> why did the soviet union collapse? >> xi's answer -- don't try to be too american. >> even though china has emulated america, china still is after all a socialist country. >> whatever economic reforms they engage in, you cannot allow political liberalization to accompany it. >> he would point to the soviet example as a sign that that's the risk we face. >> and that means the party must be seen as strong, clean and legitimate. it's ironic because no one has suffered more under communism than xi jinping himself. to understand it, we have to go back to tell the dramatic story of xi's childhood. it begins in the 1960s, the chaos of the cultural revolution. chairman mao wanted to reassert his control over the communist party. he accused it of being too liberal. he called for young people to rebel against the elite of their own party. >> basically turned chinese life upside down. all of the most powerful people found themselves suddenly attacked and criticized, often by some of the least powerful people. and xi jinping was r

that's how he viewed the soviet union. and he decided that the only way to really deal with the soviet union was in effect to sidelines in the unit then in the region to push it out. so he it would be judged in a kind of black and white terms if you if they're ready to stabilize work with them. to contain iran to squats the non-state actors to bolster the order, but if they're not if they're going to support these non-state actors in disrupting the status quo then you have to counter them as well. yeah. yeah, and that's a very important reflection on yeah on current us. policy and views of the region and interaction with the rising or resurgent great powers china and russia you all can find it just a knee jerk and it's but, you know great power competition. we must win the others must, you know, retreat and so on without taking into account. we the potential common interest. of a state order that everybody can benefit it from stability absence of war that's almost

it is best way for ukrainians to develop -- the soviet union.— -- the soviet union. it is a reflection _ -- the soviet union. it is a reflection of _ -- the soviet union. it is a reflection of the _ -- the soviet union. it is a reflection of the extreme l -- the soviet union. it is a - reflection of the extreme anxiety across government about what vladimir putin might be planning. it isa vladimir putin might be planning. it is a way of saying to the kremlin that we see what you are doing. and at a time of the government has been accused by some of not having its eye on the ball, it's also a way of saying we are doing every thing we can. russia says it is all nonsense, releasing pictures of its latest drills close to ukraine's border, still saying it has no intention to attack. but after friday's talks in geneva, diplomacy continues as well with washington promising a written reply in days to the expansive demands. downing street says it plans to ramp up pressure on russia. the defence secretary, ben wallace, is likely to visit moscow soon. let's take a look at the la

the family waited for permission to enter the soviet union for several years, and only in 1951. the soviet embassy in washington sent a positive response. the watts family set off without having any idea how different life had become in the soviet union. on april 3rd, 1952, george watts, his family returned to the u. s. s. r. we got out of the train that brought us across the river from poland into bela russia to breast. and my father was so overwhelmed by returning to his native homeland. that cares appeared in his eyes. and there he even bowed down and kissed the ground. i was very impressed. i so remember that picture vividly in my mind, my father coming down on his knees and kissing the ground. since the inception of the soviet union, western media had always viewed this country with suspicion and even hostility. george was pleasantly surprised. people were helpful and kind still recovering from the sufferings of the worn. the country were just rebuilding and people were lucky . they felt like they were alive. that's most important thing because life is our one time gift. an

and that is that, you know after the soviet union collapsed a lot of documents were opened and scholars and writers and authors have been going through those for years to get a portrait of what was happening in the soviet union certainly at that time. did you find that you had access to any of these sources that might not have been available before the soviet union collapsed? well, i did by virtue of others research. i did not spend time in the russian archives myself. i don't speak russian so i wouldn't be able to read the documents, but there have been some really impressive dog and historians who have been doing that digging and unearthing some really fascinating and unknown stuff about the soviet space program. so i've benefited from from their research and one of the things that they revealed is what we just discussing a minute ago, which is again the failures of the soviet space program in in 1960. they had a rocket explode on the launch pad that killed a hundred people. we had nothing like that happen here in the united states. i mean there were a lot of rockets exploding, but th

the crisis is happening in the soviet union. march 8, 1982, once again, you may notice a pattern here. i urge you to be where to label them equally at fault to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding to ignore the facts of history. june 12, 1987. yet again president reagan overruled much of his staff on the way to deliver the speech the president remarked the state department will kill me for this, but it's the right thing to do. he stood before the berlin wall and declared tear down this wall i had something to do with that speech myself and i cannot help but noting that this library contains -- no, no, no, all the applause today for ronald reagan folks, i was just a kid speech writer. honestly. i cannot help no that it contains a memo running against the berlin wall address. you can find this, it is in there. he called the speech mediocre and a missed opportunity. after all of these years you would think that i would not be sure about that, but i am. in this library, you will find letters that explain the source of

this situation was caused by the true political disaster, the collapse of the soviet union. as mister prudence said, when 25000000 people just found themselves outside of the of their own countries, no one knew how to develop the communication between those new independent countries and states. this requires a lot of efforts and the fact that now the situation has normalized machines and we see and we understand who is responsible for what these is quiet and achievement already. but the issues that you brought up. so you move the issues or i was, compatriots should be of course, address on the mutual basis. and in this regard, i would like also to mention that the grocery, we have to be more proactive and we have to be more open in the framework of the c s. and we have to discuss the issues of human rights from g called lou with regards to rights of inducer. persons who roost you are from much though i would say the group of russians in kazakhstan and catholics and russia, a millions in as in as i by joan and vice versa. although they are not so many of them in those countri

are former soviet union satellite countries the objective? guest: putin's objective is to reestablish russian political and military control over the space of the former soviet union and also reaching out to the warsaw pact space. eastern european nations that in soviet times were under moscow's thumb. the treaty he offered us to sign make that care. he wants the removal of all nato equipment, all nato military forces from territories that used to make up the soviet union including the baltic states. countries that used to make up the warsaw pact. ukraine is the focus of this fight. if putin wins in ukraine you can be sure he will go on to provocations against balkan nato allies and perhaps also against nato allies that used to be part of the warsaw pact like poland in particular and romania. so there are a few stakes at play. america has a great interest in ensuring who tends defeat in ukraine. let's keep in mind that putin has been conducting this war since 2014. the reason why he is threatening a major conventional offensive against ukrain

i'm afraid at times putin feels very sad about that soviet union going and doesn't really care about the self—determination of those countries that were in those days satellite countries of the soviet union. ., ., ., ., union. you mentioned the idea that many people _ union. you mentioned the idea that many people in _ union. you mentioned the idea that many people in russia _ union. you mentioned the idea that many people in russia do _ union. you mentioned the idea that many people in russia do believe i many people in russia do believe that nato is a threat to their country. to what extent then has it been a misstep by nato and its allies not to address that sooner? like a lot of these things if wong goes back to when this happened there were statements made in people said various things and then we made a huge effort to actually get the russians on side with us and become very friendly with them. putin i'm afraid it is sort of impervious to that end has gone his own way and has developed the way he has developed in terms of his behavior. but i do think that putting to have geor

that's how he viewed the soviet union. and he decided that the only way to really deal with the soviet union was in effect to sidelines in the unit then in the region to push it out. so he it would be judged in a kind of black and white terms if you if they're ready to stabilize work with them. to contain iran to squats the non-state actors to bolster the order, but if they're not if they're going to support these non-state actors in disrupting the status quo then you have to counter them as well. yeah. yeah, and that's a very important reflection on yeah on current us. policy and views of the region and interaction with the rising or resurgent great powers china and russia you all can find it just a knee jerk and it's but, you know great power competition. we must win the others must, you know, retreat and so on without taking into account. we the potential common interest. of a state order that everybody can benefit it from stability absence of war that's almost never taken into account as as a measurement as but you're

with the expanding nato alliance, particularly in soviet union, in the former countries of the soviet union. but despite those protestations from moscow that has fallen on deaf is all, i also sent a very clear message that will not compromise on core principles, including the right for every nation to decide on pav, including what kind of security arrangements wants to be. part of i got certainly part of the playbook eyes to put out a list of absolutely nonstarter demands and then to claim that the other side is not engaging. and then to use that is somehow justification for aggressive action. russia has several other demands to as part of these negotiations throughout the week. the particularly relate to through deployment from nato, and also weapon deployment. now, despite the fact that the u. s. is said is entering these talks and it will look at some of those requests from russia, essentially. other ones like need to allowing ukraine to ascend the alliance all off the table. both sides are going to have to wait to very deep water and do so very, very carefully in order to keep the

but eventually on the breakup of the 70th union. -- soviet union. putin needs to be a little bit concerned about public opinion and young boys coming back in coffins. that is the first point i wanted to make. this second point is related to the u.s. body politic. -- is acutely aware of joe biden's weaknesses. the difficult weeks he has had, the clearly difficult start to his administration, the january 6 insurrection and everything that has happened since, with trump very much on the stage still stirring up americans. this situation with omicron and whether this led to the high inflation rate and so forth. putin is well aware that joe biden is entering his second year of his presidency in not the strongest of positions. but yes, he cares about -- and i think this is an area where i know the administration, and i saw president biden in camp david over the weekend with his senior team, while the president can continue to exercise influence on the kremlin, putin himself. i hope that as things develop and as there is a co-objective to be attained at a m
