states policy which led to a failure of united states power. clearly the united states had the naked power to destroy castro, but it could not ignore world opinion and use this power. it could not risk the repercussions of that might follow the slaughter of cubans and the occupation of cuba by united states forces. could not risk the possible escalation of nuclear war. one alternative that suggested itself was indirect intervention, carried out secretly under cia supervision. the cia's solution was a carefully-controlled military operation. it is ignored, for the most part, the underground inside cuba, which could not he controlled. left-wing former castro supporters, considered politically unreliable, were shut off from participation. no real effort was made to bring about an uprising of the cuban people. the divided and mercurial cuban exile leaders were felt to be undependable and all real control was taken out of their hands. the cia put its faith in the brigade, small, politically reliable, controlled by united states agents. an attempt wa

states and the tragedy here is that you know the united states has tried to do that now in 3 of the least promising places for that kind of a transformation iraq 1st that afghanistan and also you could add i think libya to that list where none of the preconditions that would make a democratic transition easier successful were. isn't aware the united states wasn't going to maintain a deep lengthy you know 50 year in involvement cetra and what americans i think don't fully understand is that once you've gone in and removed a government and essentially destroyed the existing political institutions it's a free for all there are winners and losers that will compete for power and without a set of existing institutions you're engaged in a massive social engineering project where you're trying to change not just the way people pick their leaders but also the relations between different groups in society in the afghan case the relations between men and women one of the most fundamental issues in any society when you do something like that it inevitably creates enormous resentment and it also

and the fact that the united states it never forget. that you know by this falling back on a foundation of ideological beliefs in the united states he said be russia russia lost the cold war and we've never forget and forgive and vladimir putin we're trying to rebuild russia in the aftermath if you want to understand what's going on in ukraine today you need to understand that united states in the decade investing in a gentleman named bourse yeltsin who was supposed to subordinate russia to all things western all things united states and this failed. just like the people who promoted this promoted the embrace of course yeltsin had to deal with the reality of latter mere putin under barack obama there was a real. well it wasn't a reset for vladimir putin it was a reset for dimitri. was prime minister so his hopes that. we could push note of power and have russia rip current to the fold. minutes work so what's happening in ukraine is an extension of a policy that seeks to undermine glenarm or putin's russia by empowering the near abroad w

who are we recognized by, the united states. and who are we party to a treaty with, and multiple treaties with, then that estates of america. what happens that united to the cherokee nation, if we sign with the confederacy. which has put from the united states. what are the consequences? the confederacy did a great deal of courting the cherokee's, they offered a better deal. it didn't help anything that united states was not really keeping a lot of his promises during this time period. i don't know if you can imagine that. the united states an indian tribes but it did happen. so, the government of the cherokee nation, wanting to remain neutral was feeling a great deal of pressure from people who said, look the united states is not really living up to its word. and it looks like the southerners may have an edge, and they are offering us so much. they are offering us in terms of treasure, land, control that maybe we have a better deal with them. so the folks who largely sided with the confederacy, sort of wind up with stan white t

states government 1795 the united states of america sends its delicates to me with representatives of every tribe who held lands in the maumee river valley they come together in greenville, and they signed the first treaty in american history that accurately deals with the native americans who actually owned and lived on this land every tribe does have a representative and the appropriate representative to sign and what this does end up doing though because they seeded their land is it does open up for those indian removal acts which you'll see really removes the native americans all the way out west which again opens up the united states for manifest destiny and the push even further west than what the original treaty line was. you can watch this and other programs on the history of communities across the country at c-span.org cities tour. this is american history tv only on c-span 3. american history tv on c-span 3 every weekend documenting america's story funding comes from these television companies and more including comcast. are you think this is just a community center? no, it'

the united states was made by philosophy. that philosophy, the heart of which is the doctrine of the universal natural rights is always and directly pertinent to u.s. foreign policy. henry kissinger has argued that americans believes in our principles are universally true. he implies the governments based on other principles are less than legitimate. they are, as it were on permanent probation. our founding document, the declaration of independence, does not mince words. it says governments derive their just powers, they're just powers from the consent of the government. therefore, many of the world's governments do not have just powers. kissinger has also said acutely that on the one hand, americans frequently seem to regard foreign policy as an optional activity. on the other hand, the belief that american principles should be universal, the belief that justice would be served if all nations emulated our nation. this belief sometimes begets another belief. that u.s. foreign policy should have a missionary purpose of spreadi

united states will rise to the challenge. i'm here today with a remarkable leader who will help us do just that. gayle smith was the administrator of usaid for president obama and served on the national security council for both president obama and president clinton, where we first got to know each other and work together. she has deep experience responding to public health threats, helping to lead the bola response and having worked for years on the global fight against malaria come at tuberculosis, hiv-aids. she is joining us from her most recent role as president and ceo of the one campaign which fights poverty and prevent disease primarily in africa. she is tested, highly respected and she will hit the ground running. i can say from having worked with gail that no one will work harder, faster, or more effectively to get us to the finish line. i am grateful she has agreed to serve as the coordinator for global covid response. gail smith, the floor is yours. thank you for doing this. the floor -- dale: thank you, mr. secret

delegation sent to vienna is headed by robert malley who has said openly that the united states needs to resend the sanctions regional issues human rights and ballistic missiles off the table bring the original j.c.b. away back into force and then address these other issues but as i understand secretary of state and national security advisor sullivan and some others are not so forthcoming so i think the u.s. 1st of all needs to put its own house in order to get a consistent and here and policy and then implement it and as you mentioned in the introduction the proximity or indirect talks that have started in vienna at this week moderated by the europeans on the very 1st day they have set up 2 technical working groups one on the reception of u.s. sanctions and one on the technical steps that iran would need to take to restart its compliance on the nuclear side so this at least is a good start the harmony one of the things i find interesting is that the news reports and i'm reading is that they're talking only about the agreement itself not the other periphery issues which again really k

it puts the united states in a bind. even if the united states do not partake in this operation as u.s. officials have tried to say overnight, even if the united states did not partake, does the united states have advance warning? does it benefit? israeli press reports say u.s. officials are satisfied with what the israelis have done. either way, it puts the united states in a very bad position in any perception of talks over iran's nuclear program. >> how is this being seen in iran? >> people basically believe this was carried out with u.s. support because all israeli acts of terror and sabotage have been carried out with support from u.s. military bases surrounding iran, u.s. embassies, sometimes other embassies. we also have a history where iea -- iaea have passed on intelligence to the israeli regime. whether biden himself knew it or not, there is the possibility the pentagon and the cia went behind his back, as with all repeatedly during the trump administration. whether biden knew or not, it does not make a differe

the saying is, it's only 90 miles from the united states. why kennedy went forward with it is a little harder to justify. he did campaign in the 1960 election on freeing cuba, on providing support. he was actually unwittingly saying what the eisenhower administration was doing secretly. kennedy was advocating it openly. he was politically committed to moving forward on that, and he inherited this plan, this plan that had grown from a gorilla infiltration -- guerilla infiltration and supply operation to a conventional amphibious landing. kennedy later rued the fact that he had trusted the experts. this left him with great skepticism of the judgment of cia leaders and u.s. military leaders who were encouraging him on. host: let's go back to our phone lines. as we do, i want to remind everyone that this is a coproduction with american history tv and is being simulcast on c-span3. let's talk to henry, who calling from asheboro, north carolina. henry, good morning. guest: -- caller: hello. host: go ahead, henry. caller: i saw a documentary about

why should the united states care about this? >> thank you so much, melanne, and i really want to thank everyone at georgetown and february at oxfam for helping bring us together in virtual space but in a very real community this morning. i really, i want to build on what raj was saying and then kind of also kind of comment on our deeply inequitable vaccine and vaccination kind of efforts are in the united states thus far. at a global level as raj was saying it's not only a majority of the covid-19 vaccinations thus far have been distributed in wealthy countries. it's actually more than 86%. it's well north of just a bare majority. only .1% have been given in low income countries. so the inequity is fast and kind of in and of itself should be a moral callingts for remedy. but as raj saying we are continually reminded of a deeply interconnected we are especially when it comes to public health. so this print much is in our best interest to follow the leadership of the rockefeller foundation and kind of what they're working to do wi

is an epidemic of gun violence in the united states and putting forward executive actions intended to address that epidemic now the 1st proposal we heard from the white house was an effort to crack down on how guns are sold he referenced ghost guns which are guns that people manufacture by they they purchase kits to make them in their homes he talked about gun show loopholes and background checks furthermore joe biden discussed what he calls the red flag legislation that exists in a number of states where if a person is deemed to be a threat to themselves or to others they are temporarily deprived of their guns at this point biden has been facing a huge amount of pressure from gun control supporters due to the fact that there has been a surge in gun violence you saw last year there were 20000 gun related deaths that took place and that is a 25 percent increase since 2019 that we've seen this surge of gun deaths other was recently an event where 5 people were killed in south carolina including 2 children and that was certainly not the 1st mass shooting that happened in 2021 let's revie

states but he was presented as an enemy it was more like the united states than the soviet union could cooperate against the bad guy look at the gene bomb and he said that's a classic although drama where there would always be a russian agent who would be the hook to bond and the cia people would be 'd wary of a new vision of him but they could always cooperate and again the real enemy. the relations between the countries began to deteriorate again in the eighty's after ronald reagan who had been actively anticommunist even when he was a hollywood actor became president of the. united states even legendary movie boxer rocky billboard played by sylvester stallone entered the fray by taking on the daunting doped up soviet fighter ivan drago and they. have to follow the capital with capital mobility that are both it's seen that on the test with. someone with a boy who sort of mr mason with the wife on the 2nd big will say this to say this because there's been you know people are just. not as numerous still to come there's. a mysterious. number just aren't suitable to. follow the policies

the united states would not go it alone. in the aftermath of the destruction the united states sent strong security alliances that have helped keep our country safe and helped our economies flourish. we created global institutions such as the united nations and financial institutions such as the international monetary fund and world bank to reduce the economic conflict and address global poverty. with strong u.s. leadership and working together with our allies we contained communism and created dynamic world economies and growing markets for u.s. exports. america's middle-class prospered, millions across the world were lifted out of poverty. but over the years new problems developed that were not properly addressed. in the push to grow our economies as we embrace new technologies we did not do enough to prepare our workers and our education systems for the changes underway. while we embrace to trade we neglected those that did not benefit. when we might have adopted policies at home to face these issues and joined with our a

he came to united states. to to meet with american congressman a politicians or whoever he went to new york. he couldn't find a place to stay. he had to go to harlem to get a hotel. nobody came to congratulate him. anything but russia and crucial hopped on a plane came to us. came to harlem. welcome to the streets of harlem found castro at the hotel and he's celebrated with castro and from that day on. castro russia had one castro's confident and took him up, know, they became friends. is that what happened jake? is that what happened nicholas? yes in the main that's what happened. a lot of that though was political theater. i think castro intended to stay in harlem for appearances he already was developing a relationship with the soviet union. it wasn't sparked because of this act of generosity in the part of khrushchev. i mean these things are usually political theater. it's interesting that on that trip. castro did meet eisenhower's meet with him, but he met with the vice president richard nixon. who was im

it really centers the united states or the idea that the united states is being a welcoming haven for people who are exiles. unfortunately the history of the united states tells a somewhat different more complicated story. the truth is, we haven't always had the humanitarian impulse to welcome refugees. usually we've only done so when it's in our humanitarian national interest. usually we'd been more inclined to actually reject refugees than to except them. and to borrow the words of a historian, often refugees who have been accepted for resettlement here are not only resettled, but are also deeply unsettled by the experience of force migration and resettlement in the united states. to give you an overview of what i'll talk about today, i'll give you a little bit of background about american refugee resettlement policy after the second war. and then i'm going to use that background to set up why the 1970s were such an important period of change. that's when a small group of asian refugees first arrived in the united states and they were followed by a larger group of refugees who are d

the united states. and the way that occurred is i was fortunate enough at the -- between about 1995 and 2005 to acquire the records of some of the major gaming manufacturing companies. many of them were in chicago. one of them was also out of l.a. and we put those records together along with artifacts that they had, and they reflected the -- they reflected gaming throughout not only nevada but throughout the united states and the caribbean. and we have the largest collection of original gaming records, to my knowledge, in the united states. possibly in the world. you have to remember that when gaming started, it was kind of a contest between the person operating the game and the various players, and if you couldn't control a game in the early days of gambling and, say, from the 1850s on and things like catalog of them and one of the more famous catalogs was the kansas city blue book, and this display that we have here has portions or information relative to that, the blue book. these are original illust

the united states talking the defense chief there and thinking to his counterparts in ukraine nato is making statements here of course russia is acting in a provocative way which that's what they always say here i mean are we in the fog of politics at this point here what's going on and what's the is there any sense to the timing of what's going on here go ahead mark well i think there are so many issues which ukrainians bring still bubbling to the surface the local issues including within we read in groups in your crighton so that the more radical nationalist groups see i mean tension with on the bus as a way of emphasizing will need to abolition was need or with national schools or just trying crackdowns when people are critical of the government policy about 6 some kind of compromise solution. and there are people in the west who. i think mistakenly think that it's important to expose the russian aggressive designs by raising with tension and perhaps or even some cynics who think that if there is a renewed conflict in the dome it will more broadly true for instance cope with north

states when you come to the united states you are a highly trained person that has a baccalaureate degree you in order to practice as a registered nurse in the united states you also have to pass an english language exam you need to have that education evaluated to make sure it's a saying or at least equivalent to an american education and you also have to pass a board exam what's not expected when people come here and just as a footnote i'm also an immigrant but i immigrated from canada so when i check that box i check an immigrant and i also check filipino but the perception is a little bit different but understanding that you know people p. . people who get care from a filipino nurse are getting care from an individual who has been trained to care for them who has had an education equivalent to what we've had in the united states and this idea of inequality in terms of education and language and culture is really a huge barrier to sort of resolving a lot of the things that you're seeing there in the chat and also by my colleagues that are here with me and one of the things that we coul

states the police in the united states don't only not follow the laws in the united states with impunity but violate international law and in fact the commissioners found really importantly you know and uniquely in this report that the systemic police violence against plaque people in the united states constitutes a crime against humanity and the rome statute that it is the wide spread attack on a civilian population in this case black folks in the united states accomplish the murder through torture and their qualifying means it's really one of the main highlights of the report open analysis and in recognition i just want to underscore this point i found it so fascinating in thank you for letting me take a look at the report a bit early but you basically say we are unable to fix this and we need international intervention we need the international criminal court to take action because the united states has proved itself an able to take the corrective measures broadly even need to be taken i just want to underscore that i have that right and what would be you know in short form because i

in the united states that this. russia says it's going to respond hasn't said exactly how it will but what do you anticipate well i suspect there will be a response because it russians can't seem to be going don't mean to use accounts in going back to the sanctions of so for me about individuals perhaps will see individuals being sanctioned by the nicest by russia oh absolutely explosion of a difference but i'm sure a response will come this is what happens in any such that situation there is a tit for tat but nor no power can be seen to let you know what its rivals get away with and scarce i think that's going to happen yeah 10 exactly what will happen will have to wait and say no that will come over the next few hours or days or say chris we'll leave it agatha told you that with our political analyst chris bambery . a controversial global security bill has been passed by the french parliament it grants additional powers to law enforcement bodies but has faced widespread criticism for making it harder to call out t
