in conducting freedom of mitigation operations with the united states, the united states as emboldened partners and allies in this region to do it together. this is very important. there were several locations where the united states is getting france, germany, canada, japan, australia to conduct freedom of mitigation operations in this region. that is very reassuring to the taiwanese people, that we are not alone in dealing with the encroachment of the chinese military. other than that, we also have to deal with something we call hybrid warfare, such as disinformation campaigns or infiltration into chinese society to support proxies here, or competitive warfare, trying to shape the confidence it -- shake the confidence of the taiwanese people, which china is doing. we have to deal with these matters on a daily basis and because of that, we gain a lot of experience in dealing with hybrid warfare. and a lot of countries understand china is experienced in doing that and they want to engage with taiwan. this is good to increase taiwan's international engagement. we want to continue to eng

the west is united and galvanized. today our nato allies and the alliance is unified atonement as it is ever been. the source of all breakable strength continues to be the power, resilience and universal appeal of our shared democratic values. because this is about more than just russia and ukraine. it is about standing for what we believe in, for the future we want for our world. for liberty, the right of the countless countries to choose their own destiny and the right of people to determine their own futures. for the principle that a country cannot change its neighbors or borders by force. that is our vision. and toward that and i am confident that vision, that freedom will prevail. if russia precedes we will sirally the world against this aggression the united states andte her allies and partners around the world are ready to impose a powerful sanctions on export controls including we did not pursue when russia invaded crimea in eastern ukraine in 2014. we will put intensive pressure on the largest and most signifi

i am fearful for the united states. i feel like we are heading towards an authoritarian or dictatorship style of government , a one-party system ruled by the gop. i would like you to comment on those things as far as corporations making just about everything in china anymore and what our u.s. is looking like for the future. thank you. guest: thank you. i think those are all really important issues you raise. thank you for the call. this question of how u.s. investments have facilitated the rise of china's economy and whether that was a smart, strategic decision over a period of decades is admittedly a bed of a complicated one, but there is a growing i think bipartisan consensus that we need to -- that it is starting to pose a more direct challenge to u.s. economic interest but also our strategic interests and values. there is an attempt now to rebalance the trade relationship. we see u.s. trade representative ambassador kathryn tie talking about workcenter trade policies as we negotiate the next round after the so-calle

strong united stand of ukraine, europe and the united states seems to have deterred ab invasion for now. they should continue until all russian forces are back in their peacetime posts. mr. chairman, you and members of this commission today have explained the portion of abiding by the principles of sovereignty that have kept europe free of major wars for 69 years until russia invaded ukraine in 2014. until russia recommits to those principles and accepts ukrainian sovereignty and withdraws from its territory, europe and the world will not be secure. ukraine matters for another reason, even though it's an old civilization and culture, centuries older than russia, by the way, it is a young democracy of 45 million people, the vast majority of whom seek nothing more than the ability to live a normal life as a normal european country, able to choose their leaders, able to choose their trading partners, able to choose their security alliances, able to choose their political partners. they find themselves on the front line of a war they didn't start. they are fighting russia on our behalf. lik

that's united states policy. and under this doctrine, the united states has undermined and overthrown at least a dozen countries throughout latin america, central america, and the caribbean. as many might recall, in 1962 we came to the brink of nuclear war with the soviet union. why was that? why did we almost come to the brink of nuclear war with the soviet union? well, we did that in response to the placement of soviet missiles in cuba 90 miles from our shore. and the kennedy administration saw that as an unacceptable threat to national security. we said it is unacceptable for a hostile country to have a significant military presence 9. and let us be clear. the monroe doctrine is not ancient history. as recently as 2018, donald trump's secretary of state, rex tillerson, called the monroe doctrine, quote, as relevant today as it was the day it was written, end quote. in 2019, former trump national security advisor, john bolton, declared, quote, the monroe doctrine is alive and well, end quote. to put it simply,

the united kingdom representative is talking at the united nations, let's listen to that.— the united nations, let's listen to that. , , ., listen to that. our support for eace, listen to that. our support for peace. prosperity _ listen to that. our support for peace, prosperity and - listen to that. our support for peace, prosperity and the - peace, prosperity and the democratic freedom of the people of ukraine. we will not compromise our commitment to the purpose and principles of the purpose and principles of the un charter. above all, the founding principle of this united nations, that we live together in peace, with one another, as good neighbours. russia's actions are an assault on the charter. and we will not compromise our commitment to a search for peace. we are here for the second time this week in the council. my prime minister and foreign and defence secretaries have been unsparing in their diplomatic efforts. but we have also announced a significant further sanctions step against russia with our allies, a package targeted against some of the russian oligarchs, banks and p

united states in article five. already, response to russia's buildup of troops i and additional forces to bolster nato's eastern flank. some of our allies and their capability to return to defense along nato's eastern flank. we will also be able to conduct military x is nice -- exercise. if russia invades, we will take further steps to reinforce our presence in nato, reinsurer our allies and determine further aggression. to be clear, if russia decides to invade, that will also have consequences at home. the american people understand that defending democracy and liberty is never without a cost. this this is a call to the republicans and democrats. i want to thank the members of congress of both parties who spoken out in defense of our most bipartisan american principles. i want to this could be painless. we are taking steps to alleviate the pressure on our energy markets and offsetting prices. we are coordinating with energy consumers and producers. we are preparing to deploy all of the tools and authority at our d

president. >> i think the representative of the united states. i now give the floor to the representative of the united kingdom. >> mr. president, i think the secretary-general and undersecretary general dicarlo for their remarks. we are here tonight to: russia to avert war -- to call on russia to avert war. for months, russia has been holding a gun to ukraine's head. now president putin's figure -- finger is on the trigger. a full-scale conflict in a country of 44 million people will bring immense suffering, casualties on both sides, and devastating humanitarian consequences. the members of this council, the general assembly, and the secretary-general have all called this week for respect for the principles of the u.n. charter. the world is calling for peace, but russia is not listening. mr. president, make no mistake, the u.k. will not compromise. we will not compromise our commitment to ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. our support for peace, prosperity, and the democratic freedom of the people of ukraine. we will not compromise

today, the entire membership of the united nations is under attack. under attack by the country that occupies the membership of the security council in 1991 by passing the u.n. charter. the country that occupies parts of the territory of georgia 2008. the country that occupied parts of ukraine 2014. as stated by the president of ukraine, following the urgent meeting of the national security and defense counsel of ukraine, the international recognized borders of ukraine have been and will remain unchangeable. regardless of any statements and actions of the russian federation. ukraine unequivocally qualifies the recent actions as a violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. the political leadership of the russian federation shall be at full responsibility for the outcomes of the decisions taken. recognition of the occupied parts of those regions of ukraine may be considered as unilateral withdrawal by washer -- russia of the minsk agreement. while it disregards the decisions in the framework of normandy. this step undermines peaceful

united states and our allies and partners will emerge from this stronger, more united, more determined, and more purposeful. and putin's aggression against ukraine will end up costing russia dearly, economically, and strategically. we will make sure of that. putin will be a pariah on the international stage. any nation that counts russia's naked aggression against ukraine will be stained by association. in the history as it is written, putin's choice to make a totally unjustifiable war on ukraine will have left russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger. liberty, democracy, human dignity, these are the forces far more powerful than fear and depression. they cannot be extinguished by tyrants like putin and his armies. they cannot be erased from people's hearts and hopes by any amount of violence and intimidation. they endure. the contest between democracy and autocracy, between sovereignty and subjugation, make no mistake. freedom will prevail. god bless the people of a free and democratic ukraine, and may god protect our troops.

the united states is prepared, no matter what happens. we are ready with diplomacy, to engage in diplomacy with russia and our allies and partners to improve stability and security in europe as a whole and we are ready to respond decisively to russian attacks on ukraine. which is still very much a possibility. all of the events over the last few weeks and months, this has been our approach. it remains our approach now. so today, i want to speak to the american people about the situation on the ground, the steps we have taken, the actions we are prepared to take, and what this sayest rest and the -- what's at stake for us and the world -- says for us and the world and how this may impact us at home. for weeks, together our allies and partners, my administration has engaged in nonstop diplomacy. this week and i spoke again with president putin to make clear that we are ready to keep pursuing high-level diplomacy to reach understanding among russia, united states and the nation of your to address -- the nations of europe to to address securi

in the united states and our allies and partners will emerge from the strong sure -- stronger, more united, and more purposeful. just aggression against ukraine will end up costing russia dearly, economically, and strategically. we will make sure of that. putin will be a pariah on the international stage. any nation that counters russia's naked aggression with ukraine will be stained by association. the history of this area is written. putin's choice to make a totally unjustifiable war on ukraine will have left russia weaker and the rest of the role stronger. liberty, democracy, human dignity, these are forces more powerful than fear and depression. they cannot be extinguished by tyrants like putin and his army. they cannot be raised by -- from people's hearts in hopes by any amount of violence and intimidation. they endure. the contest between democracy and a talker see, between sovereignty and subjugation, make no mistake, freedom. god bless the people of a free and democratic ukraine. may god protect our troops. >> associated press, zeke, >> -- what infections did putin have with the go

i mean, ukraine isn't to united country finland was more or less united things also for the russian. and i'm impressed with the cost of trying to occupy, but i mean, i'm not, i'm not aware what you praying, reaction is, and i don't think the other countries, they're interested in general security, especially germany, france. but they're not the main actors here. i mean, it's got to be ukraine and russia decide their, their relationship together. and, and that also means the kremlin has to be cautious. i mean, it's very easy to be goaded into action when you and want action really when it's not in your best interest. so everyone has to be coo and i have to think it through. but the main point truly is that you is ukraine, russian relationship. that seems to me absolutely central. i don't know. well, that's been discuss, marsh in russia, but that's the key to it. well, i mean, the leverage said that the kind of talk are being used, joins with the gerbils textbook, textbook on propaganda when it comes to security agreements in, in your, of, you know, a form, a specialized foreign office

the united states of america is united, as this place is united, this senate and the house, republican and democrat alike in stapg with ukraine. -- in standing with ukraine. if there were to be another invasion, the consequences would be devastating for russia. it would also, by the way, be very harmful to the stability of europe and to the cause of freedom all around the world, because then you would have an authoritarian country coming into a democratically elected, smaller country and invading it, as russia has already done with crimea and parts of donbas. this effort tonight on the floor is simply to make it very clear that regardless of what legislative vehicle we choose or resolution or other, there is no question that we are united as republicans and democrats in doing what is nonpartisan, which is standing up for freedom, which is what america has traditionally done. i thank my colleague. the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. mrs. shaheen: will my colleague yield for a question? mr. portman: absolutely. mrs. shaheen: as you point out, if this -- if putin does i

that helped me started new dialysis unit by 2015 and the dialysis unit had 15 to 20 patients. now i have 90 patients and it is increasing as we need more the from adjusts. the past 10 years, to get neurologists and cannot be working like this for the next ten years. i was 35 when i started and i am 46 now. there was a shortage of physicians, people don't want to come here due to its geography. there's not a lot to offer other than healthcare here. people -- the best thing, how far is st. louis from here, 2 and a half hours. that deters them from coming to rural areas as such. i want to help people here, establish my roots and relations with my patients. they know my family but i'm not able to get help. you need some sort of legislative acts to get more help. >> miss harris, can you add what would be the number one thing congress should do to ease this issue? your extended testimony is in the record. >> one of the biggest things would be to exempt physicians from the per country limit. that would be huge. >> my time has expired and representative mcclintock, you are recognized

kingdom, the united states, and ukraine at the time. there is some information on our website that goes into detail about the past memorandum. -- the budapest memorandum. at the moment this is effectively null and void because president putin in 2014 seized the crimean territory on the crimean peninsula and took a step forward with his massive and violent invasion. the reality is that the international system legally binding agreements and politically binding agreements, they do not work unless they are complied with and enforced, and some agreements are difficult to enforce and this certainly was one of them. host: in plain view, new york on the republican line. caller: good morning. mr. campbell -- kimball mutually assured destruction prevented a war between the u.s. and the soviet union. ideally, it would be wonderful if the world could disarm, but i do not see it happening. xi said he would attack japan with nuclear weapons. putin said he would use tactical nukes, so what we are saying is that large countries can have nukes, and the

we are united and we are resolute. thus do i along with ranking member wicker, co-chair cohen and a number of other commissioners had the opportunity to travel to estonia, bulgaria and norway. we saw in purse and that the same unity at the black sea and the arctic. although our shared enterprises when a piece, the united states and allies will not back down. -- it is one of peace. we are ready to respond to any threat to peace and liberty of europe. that is why i am proud to be an original cosponsor of the defending ukraine sovereignty act of 2022. the bill would provide our partners in ukraine with the tools and equipment they need to defend themselves, ulster european security, combat disinformation and would extend crippling sanctions on russia's finance and energy sectors and senior russian government and personnel. along with other commissioners including senator sheehen, i am involved in a bipartisan exercise to develop a wider built with wide bipartisan support that we hope will be introduced in the coming days.

well, this was politicized by the united states. yes. did i say, chose to make this a political issue rather than just not sending anybody which would have also been fine and germany and along with it, several other countries decided not to join a boy caught, but to simply not send anybody which is seen as milder and diplomacy, but i guess i think that is quite a good example to illustrate the difference in attitudes that the world's number one country is, is, is it feels challenged by china. the 2nd largest economy at this moment in time, which wants to become the largest. yeah, that's where we are. and europe, germany is right in the middle of the me bring us back to the nord stream to pipeline issue. the germans has argued america. she was able to get president joe biden to reverse his opposition to this new. he had been against it for a long time. there's bipartisan opposition to it, but then they met and he agreed. ok, i won't slip any sanctions on any german companies involved. as long as we don't see putin using energy as a weapon

last week at the united nations close -- security council --. dramatically staged, conveniently on camera for the russian public. and now political provocation of sovereign ukrainian territory and independent republic. a clear violation of international law. president putin signed authorization from the european parliament for the ukrainian territory. this sets the stage further for russia to try to justify military action. none of us should be fooled. none of us will be fooled. there is no justification. further russian assault remains a threat in the days ahead. it is russia alone that bears responsibility. as we respond, my administration is using every tool to protect american businesses and consumers from rising prices at the pump. as i said last week, defending freedom will have costs as well for us here at home. we need to be honest about that. as we do this, i am going to take robust action to make sure the pain of ours sanctions is targeted at russian economy and not ours. for any disruption from major oil producing consumers and produc

i would now like to give the floor to the representative from the united states -- united kingdom. >> thank you. as we sat in this chamber urging russia to step back, president putin announced special military operations on ukrainian territory. this is unprovoked and unjustified. this is a grave day for ukraine and for the principles of the united nations. we and our partners have been clear that there will be consequences for russia's actions. we fully support the united states calls for un security council resolution. this counsel must do all it can to stop the war and uphold the charter. thank you. >> i think the representative of the united kingdom. now i will give the floor to the representative of albania who also wishes to make a further statement. >> dear colleagues. we could not have anticipated this happening. rishaad: various envoys to the united nations. the ukrainian envoy they're talking a short while ago. saying that vladimir putin had in essence delivered a message of war. he had declared war. we also heard from linda thomas-greenfield there, sending the same message o

the form of a unit. and today's russia, whichever country which is in one poll, opposed to the other sides, will be very much disadvantaged in the world of today. china and russia are firmly standing together. they coordinate many strategic issues and the 2 countries. on february, the 4th, when president put and visited the bay gene deer in the bay dinner lympics pledged that they both opposed the continued expansion of nato. this is very important. and in terms of all the sanctions imposed by the united states on western countries against the russia, so long as china and russia can stand side by side, such sanctions will be futile. they will not bring russia down to its knee. so this is the very important thing i hope the, the united states will be realistic in looking at the strong calls relations between china and russia and come to their senses. come to the conclusion that this situation evolving. ukraine need to be negotiated between russia and the united states and nato member countries to achieve

the united states is doing its part. i support president biden and his administration having committed to end the nord stream two project if russia invades ukraine further. and we must stiffen sanctions and work to establish european energy independence and develop a global defensive shield for the protection of ukraine. this can be accomplished with no more shots being fired or weapons being volleyed. the united nations, nato, and the organization for security and cooperation in europe have the ability to rally a global coalition, to thwart off putin and his thirst for domination. russia cannot be allowed to operate as the outlaw on the european continent. let us seek to build, not destroy. the time is for the free world to soundly reject putin's ugly schemes and work together to safeguard ukraine now and forever. there are there are several members to join us in this special order and i would like to recognize brian fitzpatrick, the co-chair from pennsylvania and congressman mfume and congressman levin. i thank them al

we're united in our support of ukraine. we're united in our opposition to russian aggression. and we're united in our resolve to defend our nato alliance. and we're united in our understanding of the urgency and seriousness of the threat russia is making to global peace and stability. yesterday, the world heard clearly the full extent of vladimir putin's twisted rewrite of history, going back more than a century, as he waxed eloquently, noting that -- well, i'm not going to go into it, but nothing in putin's lengthy remarks indicated any interest in pursuing real dialogue on european security in the year 2022. he directly attacked ukraine's right to exist. he indirectly threatened territory formerly held by russia, including nations that today are thriving democracies and members of nato. he explicitly threatened war, unless his extreme demands were met. and there is no question that russia is the aggressor. so we're clear-eyed about the challenges we're facing. nonetheless, there is still time to avert the worst-case scenario that will bring untold suffering to millions of pe

not united states. the fact it was warmly received is an interesting take away going forward from those remarks. martha: there's also the center one. rnc of two members of congress. i want to put it up on the screen paired participating in a democrat lead and ordinary citizens both utilizing their best political affiliation of power your thoughts on that? kirk's legitimate political discourses got the line that got everyone's attention, martha. it was carefully worded and written with the intent to support former president trump and what is called the big lie about january 6. clean up after words was pretty pathetic because of the fallout from that use of that phrase legitimate political discourse. what happened everyone in the world is legitimate political discourse. she was not talking about the violent spread she was talking about everything before. but clearly everything that happened before and during this episode is defined by the violence police being hit with the bear spray, speared with flagpol
