provide an advantage to our senior leadership. let me start with russia. after working together for decades to achieve real nuclear reductions, russia is upgrading the capacity of its nuclear forces. it's overall nuclear stockpile is likely to grow significantly over the next decade. this growth is driven by significant increase in the number of russia's nonstrategic nuclear weapons. russia has added new capabilities to its stockpile of nonstrategic nuclear weapons. warheads include tactical range systems that russia relies on to deter and defeat nato or china in a conflict. russia's stockpile of nonstrategic nuclear weapons is large and diverse. it is being modernized with an eye toward accuracy, longer-range and lower yield. we expect dozens of these systems are already applied. they include but are not limited to close range ballistic missiles, crown launch cruise 9m729es, including the missile, which the u.s. determines violates the inf treaty. as well as anti-ship, anti-submarine missiles and depth charges. for comparison, the united states currently has a single nonstrategic n

study of russia. clinton lose, we have an insurance policy? what we are at right now is the insurance policy. he is a totally conflicted person. he is somebody that dislikes donald trump. he didn't get the job he requested, that he wanted badly. then he was appointed. despite that, despite $40 million, 18 trump haters including people that work for hillary clinton and some of the worst human beings on earth, they got nothing. it is pretty amazing. do you believe russia helped you get elected? president trump: russia did not help me get elected. you know who got me elected? i got me elected. if anything, i think russia helped the other side. the media helped hillary clinton get elected? she didn't make it. take a look at collusion between hillary clinton and the media. you take a look at collusion between hillary clinton and russia. she had more to do in the campaign with russia than i did. i had nothing to do. just one other thing. this is all about russia, russia, russia. they don't talk about russia anymore. it turned out to be a hoax. back, isn'tfought that terrible? of course i fi

back on the streets to fight this virulent disease somehow africa seems safer than london. russia is firmly denying us allegations that it is quote probably conducting tests of low yield nuclear weapons in the arctic thereby violating its international legal obligations but the head of america's defense intelligence agency claimed on witness day without proving providing evidence that moscow is seeking to covertly enhance its technical capabilities in the field. united states believes that russia probably is not hearing the nuclear testing moratorium in a manner consistent with 0 year old standard. our understanding of nuclear weapon development leads us to believe russia is testing out to use would help improve its nuclear weapon capabilities. in public between the u.s. and russia what you saw there was a speech that was given at the huston institute in washington by the director of the u.s. defense intelligence agency to the world questioning moscow's approach to nuclear testing and saying that this helps russia in hans new warhead designs now russia's categorically denied any of t

minister calls the, quote, sad state of u.s./russia relations and the worldwide tensions that result from it. secretary of state mike pompeo held talks with his russian counterpart in sochi and is preparing to sit down with vladimir putin. that meeting set for one hour from now, though putin is well known for making his visitors wait. iran, syria, ukraine, all believed to be up for discussion. all issues on which the u.s. and russia under very different circumstances on very opposite sides. let's discuss now with steve hall, retired cia chief of russia operations. i mean, i'm having trouble getting my head around this because the u.s. and russia are on opposite side of so many key national security issues. issues russia shows no interest in changing, in relenting on. so where is the potential for common ground here? >> well, it's not just you, jim. i think everybody can agree, all analysts i have heard, saying look, the united states should engage with russia on areas where there are things that the united states has interests in. the question is, where do any of those interes

attack on the u.s. elections. the president writes russia, russia, russia, that's all you heard at the beginning of this witch-hunt hoax and now russia has disappeared because i had nothing to do with russia helping me to get elected. now, far be it for anyone on earth to parse the language used by the president of the united states, however, by my reading of that, that's the first time the president has ever admitted that russia helped to get him elected. is that how you see it? >> it is, but wait ten minutes, he could say something else. i don't think the american public can take anything the president says about the russian attack on our democratic process seriously because, again, wait a few minutes, it will change, whatever benefits him the most. i think it is important to register with the american people that that was the second major aspect of the special counsel's discussion yesterday. that was a widespread attack and it's going to come back. director comey said the russians will be back. dni coates said they have never left, the threat is still there. i'm the chairman of the

expedition to soviet russia in the famine of 1921". and first thing i realize is the there was no book about 1921-22 famine in english. had really done a serious book on our famine, so that i duty.have to do double the famine and the relief. the thing that happens to me a lot of people. i get into the archives. i open up a box. opened up an, i entire world to me. i realized that when hoover's men were keeping records of activities,tarian it wasn't simply the amount of ofd going in, the amount people fed, lives saves, where the kitchens were set up. those americans documented everything. this ara collection also shines thing calledis new soviet russia. its politics. its turning russian society upside down. the changes that had taken place. suffering. the new winners. the old losers. .he peopleplace the suffering. the winners. the losers. those that starved because they were on the wrong side of history. the cultural contrast. what americans had not expected it but was extreme was two different mentalities. these are young american men, former doughboys. they fought in the great war. they were

leaders but two geo political rivals in this sense because russia of course is supporting nicolas maduro the incumbent president saying that he is the legitimate ruler who was elected and washington supporting one why dole and trying to oust nicolas maduro so obviously vladimir putin and donald trump try to look for common ground and we do know that they have agreed at least on one thing and that is if any transition of power was to take place in venezuela it should be very very peaceful soul no arms no interventions nothing of the sort it seems that lattimer putin and donald trump do see eye to eye on that also they discussed the situation in north korea and that is particularly interesting putting put in context because vladimir putin did me to north korea's supreme leader kim jong on just last week and we also know that. did somewhat to vent his frustration with the way washington chooses to do diplomacy with his country and vladimir putin apparently made something of a promise to pass those concerns to the american side of course no way of telling whether or not that was done during

? elected. russia didn't help me at all. russia, if anything, i think side. the other what you ought to ask is this. do you think the media helped get elected?on she didn't make it but you take a look at collusion between media. clinton and the you take a look at collusion between hillary clinton and russia. to do in the campaign with russia than i did. i had nothing to do. way, that's one other thing, if you look, this russia, russia, russia. they don't talk about russia anymore because it turned out to be a hoax. it was a hoax. and then they say, gee, he fought back. terrible?t he fought back. of course, they fight back. because it was a false accusation, a totally false accusation, and it's a disgrace, and it's a very sad period for this country, and i think in the end, i will consider what's happening now to be one of my achievements. exposing this corruption. you think they are going to impeach you? how they can because -- although i can't imagine the courts allowing it. gotten into it. i never thought, that would even word.sible to use that to me, it's a dirty word, impeach. di
