That is a great mistake after the end of the cold or war or was extending nato eastward. This gave russia a sense of being corner ld, and here we are. My view is more or less exactly the opposite. I think its the greatest achievement of the postcold war years was precisely extending the protection and security of both nato and the e. U. To these nations that had been enslaved within the soviet empire. And i think what were witnessing today is how much tore sight and diplomatic foresight and diplomatic brilliance was shown in achieving that. If lithuania, latvia, estonia to name the most prominent examples and perhaps the most threatened nations by putins vision of a reconstituted soviet space, if they were not within these organizations, they would be eminently at risk. And the if theres any if theres any sense left, sir, of this far but no further, it is precisely in article v of the north atlantic treaty alliance. And i still believe in it, you know .

The thing we need to do, be in touch with the individuals we work with. Durin
Sometimes, you need tough love. They need to set guidelines and make them understand that if they do not go according to the program, they will be out of the program. One thing i like to see, when that individual the individual gets arrested and i will decide whether or not to file charges. A lot of times, i do not file charges. That person is released from jail the second day and then he is back in the community. There should be somewhere within the Police Department for someone like jeremy to meet with that person the day he is being released. I think that would be a very effective means for him to intervene. In dealing with the violent us youth, they need to make them understand that they have done something, there will be repercussions, there will be consequences. They will have to serve their time, but not get lost in the shuffle. Prison can have two or facts. It can make someone want to be more productive member of society or they can become more integrated into the gang lifestyl
