what is russia's role? what role do we want russia to play? and how do we construct a policy that gets us to where we want russia to be? >> very good. paul? >> i'm very concerned about the breakdown in military to military communication, the impact that that can have in a crisis situation. that's where i'd like to start so that if we get into a bad situation, we've got a channel to try to deescalate before it gets worse. >> very interesting. david. >> i would make it clear that pressure on russia will be ramped up if it doesn't get out of the ukraine, and doesn't respect its neighbors' sovereignty and territorial integrity. if it doesn't stop what-the-doing in syria. -- what it's doing in syria. but if russia were to change on these things the united states is prepared to partner with russia on a range of issues. but until putin changes the behavior, and the track record is very long of bad behavior, there are no bright prospect between the u.s. and russia. >> alena, you have the final word. >> just to go back to what i opened with there are m

we have the russia that we have, and we need to deal with the russia that we have. now, the united states and russia have different interests in a number of areas. it is not easy to deal with partners who have different interests. there's an issue of trust, absolutely. but look, we successfully got rid of most of the chemical weapons without trusting each other. i feel that was an accomplishment, and we don't actually need to trust russia in order to be able to accomplish things with russia, and what we need to do is to be able to understand how russia defines its interests and to structure our engagement with russia in a way that creates realistic untensives and penalties that -- realistic incentives and penalties in ways that reflect our own interests. >> and then david and elina back to you for two minutes. >> thank you. just in response, we are not calling for isolationism, and cutoff of the relations. even in the cold war when we face ad bigger adversary of the soviet union, we had after knews -- avenues of cooperation, and we should still be able to find those

pulled out of talks with russia on syria. this was his first speech since his party swept the parliamentary election in russia last month. for more on what he had to say, i am joined by armen georgian. what about international issues? what did he have to say about them? : there was nothing explosive on the situation with the west, syria, or ukraine. this was about domestic policy. but he returned to a favorite theme of his, which is that russia does not impose its ideas or governments on other countries. let's take a look at that. when we talk about nations having the right to be strong, we're not saying that they should not have great power ambitions. we never impose anything on anybody. i have no intention of doing so. is insideof russia our people. >> what he is saying there is that the west does not -- that the west does impose its governance on other countries, and there is a clear reference in that statement, in that changete, to the regime agenda, as russia sees it. this is really the source of these problems in syria,

isil works in russia. the sites you can find the werescernible]the sites all kind of iso-propaganda --isil propaganda. it was quite in october and september last year. paul: thank you very much. >> i write a foreign affairs columnist for the boston globe and i want to thank you both. it was really fascinating your remarks. i will make my question brief because i have to leave early. maria, to you. you presented that you had a situation where you only had five publications that were willing to accept your writing because it was considered so critical. briefly, i want to ask you about personal repercussions that you have faced. if not, why not? anna, because you work for state media, but obviously are critical -- are a critical thinker, i wonder if you worry about whether you are being manipulated? i am a edition minded journalist. i try to understand what is going on. why i think the reason was immune to any attacks. there is always a bunch of trolls on the internet that follow you and cite your articles th

elaine: gentlemen, russia. russian president vladimir putin invaded ukraine and crimea and provided crucial motel or military support to the assad regime. senator kaine? sen. kaine: let's start with not praising vladimir putin as a great leader. donald trump and mike pence has said he is a great leader. he has business dealings with russia that he refuses to disclose. hillary clinton has gone toe to toe with russia. she did so as secretary of state with the new start agreement to reduce russia's nuclear stockpile. she went toe to toe with russia and launched protests when they went into georgia. and we have done the same thing with ukraine, but we put punishing economic sanctions on russia that we need to continue. donald trump on the other hand, did not know russia had invaded crimea. he was on a television show a couple months back and said, "i guarantee you this, russia is not going into the ukraine." he had to be reminded that they had gone into crimea a few years before. hillary clinton has gone toe to toe

listen. >> i think everybody's patience with russia has run out. russia. they've also spent a great deal of credibility in making a series of commitments without a clear indication they were not committed to follow them. they have been reduced to either acting unilaterally or supporting the iranians in dropping bunker-busting bombs on civilian hospitals in aleppo. it is outrageous. >> reporter: now when you ask the white house what happens next and what about the humanitarian need in syria? the white house seems to put the onus back on russia. russia has a lot to lose. russia is extremely isolated right now. sounding like the possibility is there if russia wants to come back to the table. that may be a possibility. the white house is not saying that in so many words. instead, the president is weighing a range of options. john and christine. >> thank you, michelle. >>> the situation on the ground in syria is deteriorating. senior diplomatic editor nic robertson is live in turkey. >> reporter: good morning, christine. a bunker-busting bomb dropped on the hos

russia relations are tense. ukraine is an independent country with its own culture, language, history, national identity, worldview and the reason there is tension over ukraine is that russia doesn't want to recognize ukraine as a separate culture, people and sovereign state even though moscow didn't even exist so the goal is prohibiting its course before demonstrated. >> is there a question [inaudible] my question is 10,000 people have been killed in this senseless war including your russian soldiers and acquaintances of mine that have left their cities to defend their homeland. my question is when will russia pull its troops out of ukraine and my second question is in the beginning -- >> i think we need to stop their otherwise -- >> my second question is at the beginning is that we do not interfere in the international affairs of the u.s. and that's important for people to understand. last week obama confirmed that the kremlin was behind this and other institutions of people. some people are suggesting we have

in putin's russia, the united russia is a part of the government. it merged completely with the governmental institutions and is a governmental institution itself. and the biggest -- a real problem is that this state institution became a social upward mobility -- mechanism for criminals to go move up into the government. and the system is basically finished. it is completed. it is not going to evolve anymore. i don't believe that it's going to last for a long time. when putin is gone for some reason he's gone, the system should evolve. because the person who secures the system and is -- who designed the system and is the main security asset of this system is putting himself -- which was designed to reinforce his personal -- the system can collapse in very different ways. for example, you might know the very good example of how the ruling party in ukraine which was called the party of the regions ended up. it will be not completely appropriate to call -- to draw direct parallels between the ukraine and russia, but the ukraine and ruling party, the pa

i feel that this administration is as close to russia and how russia behaves. i believe that there is not that much difference between the obama administration and the democratic party than what goes on in russia right now. think they are trying to show that the democratic party and the obama administration are a bunch of hypocrites. they are really afraid of what is going to come out. host: thanks, we are going to join on -- move on to michael from south dartmouth, massachusetts. your comment on all of this. caller: good morning, steve. thanks for c-span. could you imagine if during world war ii someone in our government went on tv or the radio or the newspaper and told the germans when we were going to invade on d-day? that person would be tried for treason and probably labeled an enemy of the state. but anyhow, i just wanted the public to think of that. all the democrats are against trump and half the republicans are against trump. you know what that tells me? that he is the man for the job. because they want the status quo. donald trump will shake it all up

documents are connected to russia, he is the only one standing on the stage to defend russia. well, we don't know that russia was involved. it might be a big guy sitting in his parents' basement. over and over again he is defending russia on this as if russia is involved even though the director of national intelligence and justice department and f.b.i. officials have connected russia to these attacks. why does donald trump keep going out of his way to defend russia on this? he should condemn russia. in fact, it's even been reported that he's received intelligence assessments laying these attacks at russia's feet, but for some reason he seems to want to defend vladimir putin. i don't get it. wants to, but i think he ought to, instead of making weird claims that our election is rigged and challenging the integrity of the american electoral process, he should be standing up against people who are trying to destabilize our elections. >> dickerson: but the clinton campaign is saying the trump campaign is doing something wrong by talking about this, and if that's the case, then wer

time was russia's weapon. their industries, so recently built in which, like our own, were designed for the ways of peace or converted for war. instead of steel for plows and tools, steel for shells and guns. they knew their industry could never produce enough to adequately for the titanic struggle but what they could produce, they would. ♪ the same time, the army began to grow. more and more men were call up to be trained. hardened. drilled. prepared to defend their land. ♪ the conquest of the balackans. the russians had built themselves a buffer to take some of the steam out of the nasty punch no matter where it landed. but where would it land? when the blow came, it was from five different directions. and from the north, one extra just for luck. that was the big day. >> more than 2 million men plunged into a front 2,000 miles long reaching from the white sea to the black. their aim, the annihilation of the red army and decisive battle on the frontier. the offensive started along the whole length of the

russia capital fleeing itself to get into safer areas, and in the russia-georgia conflict. as is now becoming a confrontation in the buffer zone, if you will. i hate that term, but if we want to call it that -- we saw the acceleration of the use of the economics and the politics that was starting to then create that vicious circle -- that on virtuous circle -- where it was growing. today we see it as a challenge to maintain unity of purpose and policy on eu sanctions against russia. with theficult now parties --an, anti- just fill in the blank -- is growing with how democracies view themselves and their way forward with a disruptive society and the russian government is adept at helping us with that disruption. we did see the difference. we think it is a policy. it is why we keep saying looking at these in isolated issues -- individual economic cases of corruption -- it exists in all of our societies. the difference here is in how it is being used and its ultimate objective, and that is the part we all must recognize and take action. again, it is about us. it is about our s

isolate russia, isolate russia. it doesn't work with russia, and that's not going to work. we are very much disappointed that instead of trying to build and capitalize on what both russia and the united states can help to get to solve the issues that do exist in the world and regional conflicts, we are locked into that kind of unfriendly discussions. and i think we are missing a lot of opportunities. i would like to underline that we feel that it's not ask who started it, it's not ask who are fueling it but the result is where we are. and it started even before the current disagreements on syria or disagreements on ukraine two years ago. it started significantly earlier. you might remember the -- that was kind of offense to russia and russians. then there were snowden affairs that we didn't solicit, but it came on us just by events happening without our participation. when snowden got stuck in a russian airport, we didn't have any legal or moral reasons to give him to the government of the united states, even for very simple reason that we do not have an agreement for mutua

-russia agenda. if you go back to some kind of a dialogue between united states and russia on arms control, if g you wanted to move forward, you'd have to reconcile, i think, two very different approaches, what has opinion in the last eight years, american desire to move to further reductions but also bring nonstrategic weapons and the russians desire, conventional strike and there maybe ways to bridge those differences but will take quite a bit of work. >> mayra, university of washington. i was fashion -- fascinated by the way negotiation and enthusiasm and the element affects negotiations. i would like you to reflect a little bit more on the moment oc unilateralism at this period of un time and unilaterally the united states find one thing and russians come and put it in a treaty, treat us as equal element and that somehow there's a change in context in moscow and the national context in moscow and that there is more aggression moving forward. so if you can piece these two episodes together, do you

russia is simply a unique country to which unique standards must apply. >> russia is unbeatable. it will be neither communist nor european. russia has always lived according to its own rules, and has gone its own, special way. >> those who have the money can afford their own, golden russia, and hope that it stays that way. >> babi yar is a ravine on the outskirts of the ukrainian capital kiev. it is where the nazis carried out one of their most notorious massacres during world war ii. in september 1941, over 30,000 jews were murdered here in mass executions. ukrainian rayisa majstrenko is one of the few who survived the atrocity. then, she was only 3-years-old, but now, on the 75th anniversary of the babi yar massacre, she remembers. >> rayisa majstrenko did not walk this road to babi yar for many decades. but after the monument for the murdered children was erected, the dance instructor has come here repeatedly with her pupils. >> my words are always, "this monument could have been for me. but i survived." >> in the early autumn of 1941, nazi germany's army, the wehrmacht, captu

agreement to reduce russia's nuclear start. -- stockbroker she would toe to toe with russia and launched protest when it went to georgia. we put punishing economic sanctions on russia that we need to continue. donald trump come on the other hand, didn't know russia had o invaded the crimea. he was on a tv show a couple months back and he said i'll guarantee you this, russia is not going into the ukraine. he had to be reminded that they've gone into crimea two years before.before. hillary clinton has gone toe ton toe with russia to work out a deal on new start. she got them engage in a meaningful way to get iran's nuclear weapons program an hered yet she stood up to them on issues such as series of and their invasion of georgia. you've got to have the ability to do that and hillary does. on the other hand, and i'll come get some of your praises vladimir putin all the time. america should really wonder about a president trump who had a campaign manager with ties to putin, program elements in the ukraine who had to be fired for that reason. they should wonder when donald, trump is sitting d

to exert russia on our politics. that means a recognition that this is happening and that we can't see it separately from russia's military pressure on the transatlantic community and aggression in the ukraine. it means a clear statement that there will be consequences if that behavior continues. and from that recognition, then would flow elements of a transatlantic agenda that includes the european union as well as nato, because dan was absolutely right. there are certain things nato does well and certain things nato does less well. we shouldn't ask it to do the things it is not well set up to do. i think this will involve several things. it will involve cyber security, economic state craft, which includes cooperation and harmonization on things such as economic sanctions. it will involve transparency, media freedom issues and a whole host of steps that will help reinforce integrity of our democracies which are the fundamental thing we are protecting. i'll stop there and hand the microphone over but that's where the

we had no assets in russia. we have no debt in russia. i haven't been to russia in six, seven years off the top of my head, five, six, seven years. it's nonsense. i think we held miss universe in russia, i think that's the extent of our business dealings. we have no hotels, we have no golf assets, or residential buildings. we don't have properties in russia. that's what the american people are fed up with. it's the sound bites, it's these lies, it's the disengenius nature of t referring it, refer great company that employs thousands of americas to a company that's nephariou is, that has tentacles all over the place. >> and to your point, here's the papers, they're lying, it doesn't exist, why wouldn't he do it? >> tax returns don't show anything any way. if you want to know if we have assets in russia, go look to see if our name is on a building, see if we own any property. we're a bricks and mortar company. the reality is we don't. we just don't. but it doesn't matter. look at -- look at the clagz for just a second, right. the u.s. gover

[applause] just yesterday, we learned that bill clinton's right-hand man just for clinton foundation donors and other donors to funnel as much a $65 million in personal profit to bill and hillary clinton. this man explained that the cozy relationship between the consulting firm, the foundation in clinton's personal income had helped bill and hillary enrich themselves and obtained in-kind services, including personal travel, hospitality relations, and the like. the same people were lobbying hillary clinton at the same tim

-russia relationship. and just a comment on reset, a small and decreasing people but i see this as success in terms of what i understand it's original purpose was, not to get the u.s.-russia relationship to nirvana but to get out of hole with russia in 2008 and get russians to do something that the obama administration defined as u.s. interest. the strategic nuclear arms agreement, more help on ending iranian nuclear weapon and help in afghanistan in terms of getting supplies and forces easier to afghanistan. and on those areas in the first couple of years, the obama administration went back achieved important things. by 2011, maybe may or june, the reset run its course, maybe come up with a new term and that term would have failed, but looking at the new start treaty it was also very clear and the president made this public, he wanted to go beyond new start and not only negotiate further cuts in strategic weapons but also bring in nonstrategic nuclear weapons, and so for the first time the idea that you m

and russia deal with each other as equals. we are the two super powers and russia usually feels it's being respected as a world player because we come to the table as equals so all more reason to question why it's been so difficult to complete and to sustain these arms control agreements. now we have two because we couldn't have any better speakers to discuss that with us today. i'll be turning first to steve. that's a principal and former assistant secretary of state dealing with arms control issues in the george w. push administration and he has also in capitol hill and former ambassador to ukraine. having dealt at various levels in the state department and the national security council with arms control issues. he is of course a senior fellow and he's the director of the arms control and nonproliferation initiative and has written widely on all of these issues and i'll sure that he'll have a great deal to say about all of this. so i'll going to say a few words about the background to when george w. bush came into the white

hillary clinton has gone toe to toe with russia. she went toe to toe with russia as secretary of state to do the new s.t.a.r.t. agreement to reduce russia's nuclear stockpile. she's had the experience doing it. went toe to toe with russia and lodged protests when they went into georgia and did the same thing with ukraine, more than lodging protest, we put punishing economic sanctions on russia that we need to continue. donald trump on the other hand didn't know that russia had invaded the crimea. >> that was nonsense. >> he was on a tv show a couple months back and said i'll guarantee you this, russia is not going into the crew yan ukraine. he had to be reminded they'd gone into crimea before. hillary clinton has gone toe to toe with russia to work on a deal with new s.t. s.t.a.r.t., engaged to cap iran's nuclear weapons program, yet stood up to them on issues such as syria and their invasion of georgia. you've got to have the ability to do that and hillary does. on the other hand, in donald trump, you have somebody who praises vlad

russia wants to create confusion or divert attention from moscow. peter has documented that the aim of russia's information operations is to use disinformation cascades to advance the notion that the truth doesn't matter. for example, by propagating multiple theories of the mh-17 shoot down, russia plans to leave the public with the truth is unknowable or can be believed because everyone has an agenda. russia has similar goals in other spheres, politics, civil, and cyber. let me mention a few examples, and you have already touched on a few of these. disinformation, of course, in which russia uses disinformation and propaganda, taking full advantage of the internet and new technologies. we know about the troll farms and we have seen other examples of this behavior. political parties, you've mentioned and touched on this. there's growing evidence uncovered by journalists about russian connections with anti-establishment populist political parties in germany, hungry, and austria. we all have read the stories about the national front in france borrowing

must stand up to russia. even when it comes to russia's involvement in bombing aleppo. >> the provocations by russia need to be met with american strength. and if russia chooses to be involved and continue i should say to be involved, and this barbaric attack on civilians in aleppo, the united states of america should be prepared to use military force to strike military targets for the assad regime and to prevent them from the humanitarian crisis taking place in aleppo. >> so when you look at the debate as a whole, i think that when it comes to foreign policy, both of these two vice presidential candidates were laying out reasonable arguments for foreign policy. nothing very radical. both blaming each other about what they would do wrong or what they have done wrong in foreign policy. but i would say far more responsible than what we heard donald trump himself talk about in the last debate. >> richard, just on that last clip when that moment really stuck out to me too, because i wasn't sure exactly what pence

she's saying russia, russia, russia. maybe it was. it could be russia but it could also be china and lots of other people and could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay? you don't know who broke in to dnc. >> when you're hillary clinton in that moment and he says somebody sitting on their bed who weighs 400 pounds, like, what do you think if you're debating somebody and they bust out the weight of their imaginary hacker that's doing this stuff instead of russia, like the intelligence agency? like, what do you -- turns out we sort of do know as a country who broke in to the dnc and hacked those e-mails. turns out, not only did the u.s. intelligence agencies know it but donald trump apparently knows it, too. nbc news has now reported today, based on an anonymous source, that both candidates, hillary clinton and donald trump, got classified intelligence briefings that specifically included information on russia and russia's attempt to interfere with 2016 elections through hacking. a senior u.s. intelligence offic

russia is a big player in that. and going between the united states and russia and arms control they have to use different approaches with the american desire with the non-strategic nuclear weapons. but that will take quite a bit of work. >> >> i am from the university of washington. i would like to reflect a little bit more of unilateralism and if they could treat us as equal. that somehow there is a uh change of the national context in moscow. and to move forward. looking at these two episodes together that moment is a reflection more strength to afford that unilateralism. and if it is justified. >> boca putin in the united states. it goes back 2008. and this is what regime ltd. -- legitimacy is about. and with nationalism and that is a big part of it. but another part goes back to the bush said ministrations that putin has a huge chip on his shoulder. that they mistreated russia. and it was organized by putin and germany that was russia's borders. and to respond to the appeals of the other countries to one peacef

despite that, there has been a lot of criticism of russia at the u.n. security council for continued human rights violations. annette: as you just said there, russia is denying any ,nvolvement in the airstrike which killed dozens of schoolchildren in idlib. at this stage, are we likely to find out who was responsible he act go -- who was responsible? thomas: we have to see who controls the territory. it the syrians, for the most part. the russian spokesman for the foreign ministry gave an explosive press conference yesterday. we heard a clip of that before i started speaking. blankrussia said point that the proof against it is being fabricated, and said that the suggestions that the russian or syrian planes that carried out these attacks are complete lies, the spokesperson making a continued -- continued with a and storiesctures of how the west has killed civilians in eastern aleppo, more broadly in syria. thanent report said more 300 civilians have been killed by the u.s.-led coalition since the fighting began. but this pales in significance compared w

this note return to russia or next to russia. is a real concern. second we also understand the government of syria and needs to continue because if it isn't only for syria it is increasingly more difficult and dangerous. and it is a totally failed states. and expanding from the region as well. and then to spend their lives. but we have tested that in russia up. and with the government of syria to help to fight terrorist. nothing more, nothing less. the emir there on a fully one illegal -- a legal basis that are there on the ground. of the legitimate government. returning to the crisis in syria even the latest disagreement did not change that. and what is important is the of political solution ha ha that sometimes when i speak to my american colleagues everybody speaks in a way that is serious but it is not. to be dutifully elected. and with those different sectors of religion. and we need to understand and to will eliminate the source of terrorists. and with the united nations to improve the security council resolution. and for all kinds up. -- and

they're trying to tarnish me with russia. i know nothing about russia. i know about russia but i know nothing about the inner workings of russia. i have no business dealings there. i have no loans from russia. i have great balance sheets, so great that when i did the old post office on pennsylvania avenue, the united states actually know very well, chose me to do the old post office between the white house and congress, chose me to do the old post office, one of the primary things, perhaps the primary thing was balance sheet. but i have no loans with russia. you could go to the united states government and they would probably tell you that, because they know my sheet very well in order to get that development i had to have. the taxes are a very simple thing. first of all, i pay hundreds many of our friends took bigger deductions. warren buffett took a massive deduction. soros, who is a friend of hers, took a massive deduction. many of the people that are giving her all this money that she can do many more commercials than me gave her -- took massive dedu

i think everybody's patience with russia has run out. they've also spent a great deal of credibility in making a series of commitments without any clear indication that they were committed to following them. so what we have seen from the rations in the year or so since their military intervention in syria is that they have not made .uch progress against isil they claim that the reason they is to fight extremists. but they haven't made a significant a single isolate objective in more than seven months. and they've been reduced to trying to claim credit for successful u.s. operations. i'm referring to the u.s. strike that took out of 90 off the battlefield. plotter andior russia was in a position where they were rather pathetic when they tried to claim credit for carrying out that operation. i think that is an indication that they have little to take credit for when fighting out kate a and isis. when russia announced this military intervention, they did a with the intent to "unite broad range of forces." a year later, russia is standing al

hillary clinton went toe to toe with russia, went toe to toe with russia as secretary of state to do the new start agreement. she has experience doing it. she went toe to toe with russia and launched protests when they went into georgia. and we've done the same, but more by putting punishing sanctions on russia that we need to continue. donald trump, on the other hand, didn't know that russia had invaded the crimea. he was on a tv show, hed i guarantee you this, russia is not going into the ukraine. he had to be reminded that they had gone into the ukraine years before. she got them engaged in a meaningful way to cap iran's nuclear weapons program, and yet she stood up on the syrian invasion, you have to have the ability to do that and hillary does. and on the other hand, you have number in donald trump who praises vladimir putin all the time. america should really wonder about a president trump who had a campaign manager with ties to putin, pro-putin elements in the ukraine who had to be fired for that reason. they should wonder when vladimir putin is sitting down with donald trump,
