U.S. Ambassador to NATO Julianne Smith joins The Post's Jonathan Capehart for a conversation about NATO's upcoming 75th anniversary summit, the alliance's role in helping to "build a bridge" to Ukraine's membership within NATO and the "continued unity" among NATO allies in supporting Ukraine's defense efforts. Conversation recorded on Thursday, June 27, 2024.

Julianne Smith serves as the United States Permanent Representative to NATO—a role she assumed at the end of 2021, shortly before Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Ambassador Smith sits down with One Decision's foreign correspondent Christina Ruffini and resident spymaster, former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove, for a discussion on what to expect at the NATO summit being held in Washington in July, which marks the 75th anniversary of the transatlantic military alliance. They discuss Ukraine's complicated path to membership, progress on Germany's stepped-up security commitments, and whether a second presidential term for Donald Trump will bolster member countries' defense spending. Plus, more on NATO's strategy to tackle global security challenges and counter Russia's influence with China.

NATO is promising to support Ukraine for as long as it takes in the war against Russia, but the July meeting of the alliance won't provide a concrete date for the Ukraine to join up. Membership includes a commitment from NATO countries to collectively respond if any country faces an armed attack. While NATO is increasing links in the Indo-Pacific, a key representative has sought to quell fears the alliance is attempting to expand in the Southern Hemisphere. The United States permanent representative to NATO Julianne Smith has spoken to Chief Political Correspondent Anna Henderson from Brussels

Milogul Europei și nota de plată a României (SpotMedia) - Trecutul și legăturile politice ale frizerului din PNL pus șef peste industria de două miliarde de euro a „păcănelelor” (Europa Liberă) - Jocurile de noroc sunt puternic asociate cu sărăcia. Oamenii din zonele defavorizate pariază mai riscant (HotNews.ro) - Statul român își construiește instrumente pentru a proteja cetățenii români din Republica Moldova și Ucraina (G4Media) Milogul Europei și nota de plată a României (SpotMedia)Cu o zi înainte că președintele Iohannis să se întâlnească cu noul său prieten Viktor Orban ca să mai pună la cale șefia NATO, SUA au transmis un mesaj fără echivoc și chiar cu o tușă de ironie la adresa președintelui candidat.„Poziţia SUA este că îl susţinem pe deplin pe Mark Rutte ca viitor secretar general, dar avem cel mai mare respect şi pentru prietenul nostru, preşedintele Iohannis, şi apreciem că a intrat în competiţie şi îi dorim toate cele bune, în timp ce noi continuăm să dezbatem această problemă (alegerea viitorului secretar general – n.red) în cadrul Alianţei”, a declarat ambasadoarea SUA la NATO, Julianne Smith.Potrivit publicației olandeze De Telegraaf, Rutte este susținut de 28 dintre țările NATO și ar mai fi de convins doar 4. În mod cert, România, Bulgaria, Ungaria și, probabil, Turcia.Când Klaus Iohannis și-a anunțat public candidatura, formulă fără precedent în istoria NATO, multă lume s-a întrebat ce garanții are în spatele anunțului. Puțini au putut concepe că cineva ar putea să se arunce astfel cu capul înainte, fără a avea terenul pregătit și o serioasă susținere în spate.Cu România în spate, dl Iohannis, în interes personal, se așază pe contrasens cu SUA și restul partenerilor din NATO care au trimis soldați ca să ne apere. Se aliază cu prietenul lui Putin și, în timp ce în țară ne rupem hainele de pe noi pentru stabilitate, în alianță generează divizare, potrivit FAZ, deci instabilitate. Fix ce-și poate dori mai mult Vladimir Putin, scrie Ioana Ene Dogioiu pe pagina SpotMedia. Cât de independent politic ar fi candidatul Mircea Geoană?Românii au înghițit alianța contra naturii PSD-PNL, dar nu același lucru se va întâmpla când își vor alege președintele. Un Mircea Geoană reșapat s-ar putea să fie soluția de avarie. Un comentariu de George Arun.Niciodată, în ultimii 35 de ani, nu s-a întâmplat ca partidele mari să nu-și anunțe candidatul când au rămas mai puțin de cinci luni până la campania electorală pentru alegerile prezidențiale din septembrie, comentează jurnalistul DW.Amânarea lansării la apă a candidaților pentru funcția de șef al statului nu se datorează doar lipsei de personalități, ci și unei stategii prin care să nu fie afectate rezultatele alegerilor locale și europarlamentare.PSD și PNL nu au locomotive care să le tracteze nici la europarlamentare, nici la locale, nici la parlamentare. În situația acestei trageri de timp pentru anunțarea candidaților la funcția de șef al statului, câștigă teren pe de o parte independentul Mircea Geoană, care în realitate nu s-a despărțit niciodată de PSD, iar pe de altă parte Șoșoacă și George Simion.E aproape sigur că în turul doi al alegerilor prezidențiale va intra Mircea Geoană, care se va dovedi atât de independent pe cât de mult va fi susținut de PSD, al cărui candidat, oricine va fi acela, nu va avea nici o șansă de a ajunge al cincilea președinte postdecembrist.Varianta în care PSD și PNL ar trimite în campania electorală un candidat comun e perdantă din fașă. Dacă românii au înghițit o alianță contra naturii postelectorală, nu același lucru se va întâmpla când își vor alege președintele.Un Mircea Geoană reșapat s-ar putea să fie soluția de avarie. Sau răul cel mai mic. Trecutul și legăturile politice ale frizerului din PNL pus șef peste industria de două miliarde de euro a „păcănelelor” (Europa Liberă)Cristian Pascu, hairstylist și consilier local PNL în Sectorul 6 din București, a fost numit de premierul Marcel Ciolacu vicepreședinte la Oficiul Național pentru Jocuri de Noroc (ONJN), instituția-cheie de autorizare și control a industriei jocurilor de noroc.Marți, după ce numirea lui Pascu fost mediatizată, premierul Marcel Ciolacu a fost întrebat de jurnaliști despre alegerea făcută. A refuzat, însă, să răspundă.Contactat de Europa Liberă, purtătorul de cuvânt al Guvernului, Mihai Constantin a precizat că a cerut lămuriri de la Ministerul Finanțelor. Ministrul Marcel Boloș nu ne-a răspuns la mesaje.La alegerile locale din 2020, Cristi Pascu l-a susținut pe Ciprian Ciucu (PNL), care a și devenit primar. Ulterior, a intrat în echipa consilierilor locali de la Primărie.Unul dintre proiectele pe care Cristi Pascu se lăudă că le-a implementat, în calitate de consilier local, vizează activitatea companiilor din Sectorul 6.Cristian Pascu este și membru în Consiliul de Administrație al Centrului National de Învățământ Turistic (din 2022), instituție cu capital de stat. Totodată, a avut un contract civil și cu Societatea Română și Televiziune (SRTV).Nici aceste informații nu figurează în CV-ul său, la fel cum în declarația de avere nu este menționat salonul de înfrumusețare Cristi Pascu Exclusive. Jocurile de noroc sunt puternic asociate cu sărăcia. Oamenii din zonele defavorizate pariază mai riscant. În România, industria păcănelelor și pariurilor este și cea care cheltuiește mai mult pe publicitatea online (HotNews.ro)​România are peste 13.600 de săli de joc. Iar studiile europene recente arată că oamenii din zonele defavorizate sunt dintre cei mai expuși la un consum riscant la pariuri. E o oglindire a realității că povara dependenței sau a consumului problematic de jocuri de noroc se resimte mai puternic în rândul populațiilor sărace și accentuează inegalitățile sociale deja existente.Continuarea, pe HotNews.ro. EXCLUSIV Statul român își construiește instrumente pentru a proteja cetățenii români din Republica Moldova și Ucraina. Proiectul legii apărării naționale dă în premieră puteri președintelui pentru românii ”aflați în pericol în afara teritoriului național” (G4Media)Proiectul legii apărării naționale, pus în dezbatere publică de Ministerul Apărării Naționale, introduce în premieră conceptul intervenției României pentru protejarea cetățenilor români aflați în pericol în afara teritoriului național. Legile existente nu prevăd această posibilitate. Noul instrument, pus la dispoziția președintelui României, apare în contextul în care Republica Moldova este sub amenințarea hibridă a Federației Ruse, iar statisticile oficiale arată că peste 600.000 de moldoveni au și cetățenia română. Ce prevede exact proiectul legii apărării naționale puteți citi pe pagina G4Media.

EXPERTS GÉNÉRAL JEAN-PAUL PALOMÉROS Ancien chef d'état-major / Ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN FRANÇOIS CLEMENCEAU Rédacteur en chef international - « Le Journal du Dimanche » ELSA VIDAL Rédactrice en chef de la rédaction en langue russe - « RFI » DAPHNÉ BENOIT Correspondante Défense - « AFP » Ancienne correspondante au Pentagone Volodymyr Zelensky a entamé mercredi une mini-tournée européenne, son deuxième voyage à l'étranger depuis le début de l'invasion russe le 24 février 2022, après sa visite aux Etats-Unis en décembre dernier. Un déplacement tenu secret jusqu'à la dernière minute pour des raisons de sécurité au cours duquel le président ukrainien entend convaincre ses alliés occidentaux d'accroître leur soutien. D'abord à Londres puis hier à Paris et aujourd'hui à Bruxelles où il a rencontré les "27", le chef de guerre ukrainien, vêtu de sa célèbre tenue kaki, a une nouvelle fois pressé les Européens de fournir des avions de combat à l'Ukraine pour vaincre la Russie. Car le moment est crucial. Sur le terrain les forces ukrainiennes sont soumises à une pression accrue de l'armée russe, qui s'est réorganisée après les catastrophes du début jusqu'à la perte de la ville de Kherson à l'automne. Elle a aujourd'hui reçu les renforts de la mobilisation partielle de septembre, avec au moins 300 000 hommes de plus sous les drapeaux, et un commandement repris en main par le général Guerassimov, le chef d'état-major russe. De plus viennent s'ajouter aux nouvelles troupes russes déployées, de l'artillerie et, surtout, de nouveaux chars qui se dirigeraient aussi vers la ligne de front où les contours de la possible offensive russe du printemps, dont tout le monde parle, se dessineraient à un horizon de plus en plus proche. Les autorités ukrainiennes craignent de voir les Russes lancer l'assaut aux alentours du 24 février, soit un an jour pour jour après le déclenchement de la guerre. Julianne Smith, l'ambassadrice américaine auprès de l'Otan a également insisté ces derniers jours sur " l'urgence" de faire parvenir des chars à l'Ukraine au plus vite pour contenir l'assaut russe. Pour l'instant, les Ukrainiens parviennent par leur acharnement et leur ingéniosité à défendre leurs positions, comme en ce moment à Bakhmut, où se déroulent les combats les plus durs. Ils peuvent pour cela compter sur le soutien de la population qui depuis un an participe à l'effort de guerre. Des volontaires ont ainsi pris les armes aux côtés des soldats ukrainiens, tandis que d'autres se sont efforcés de défendre leurs quartiers avec des armes artisanales comme les cocktails Molotov ou se sont lancés dans le bidouillage de drones civils pour en faire des armes de guerre. Un système D qui a néanmoins ses limites d'où l'appel du président ukrainien à en envoyer plus d'armes, à monter en gamme et à "aller plus vite que la Russie".

"Consensus is not a liability," the US envoy to NATO says, referring to the recent debate over delivering Western tanks to Ukraine. Julianne Smith says each NATO member comes with its own perspective but that the alliance is united in its purpose. She also told DW it was up to Kyiv to determine when it was ready to negotiate with Russia.

During the CNAS 2022 National Security Conference, Julianne Smith, U.S. Ambassador to NATO, joined Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Jim Townsend in conversation about Finland and Sweden's accession to NATO following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Then Andrea and Jim were joined by Steven Erlanger and David Sanger of The New York Times to continue the conversation.

What Does Marketing Fatigue Look Like? First, we are better able to realize we are experiencing marketing fatigue by a feeling. It feels bad. If you're feeling overwhelmed, tired, or marketing your business is overwhelming, that is marketing fatigue. Sometimes just putting words to the feeling is helpful. Another piece is if you're scared to stop because you don't know what will happen could be marketing fatigue. With new apps and trends, it can be overwhelming. The thought of adding another platform to your plate may just make you snap. Tiktok, Reels, & Trends, OH MY! Instagram, Pinterest, and Tiktok are changing every second. Sometimes it feels like once we get a system down everything changes. Usually what happens is we buy a new course to teach us how to use it. There is a fear that if you're not the first on the new trends that you're done. But you actually don't need ot feel that way. But Juli suggests that there is a better way. How to Combat Marketing Fatigue First, Remember where you make money. If you are a maker like Juli, you can't compare yourself to someone who makes YouTube videos or Tiktoks for entertainment. Her business model isn't Instagram reels. Knowing where you make your money can help you prioritize your tasks. Second, understand that marketing fatigue is normal. Other people feel it, including those who are very successful. You are not alone. It's real. Knowing that can take the temperature down. Third, and most practically, remember your goals. What are your goals for being on a new platform or for using a feature?Julianne Smith is a nationally recognized wedding accessory designer, digital media strategist and small business educator.

Michael McCaul about Russia signaling a shift in the deadly and destructive Ukraine conflict; Sen. Cory Booker on an emotional Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation hearing; Sen. Mark Warner on future Russian cyberattacks; Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova on what a peace agreement could resemble; and Chef José Andrés explains how he is helping provide millions of meals to Ukrainian refugees. Plus, our correspondents around the world provide the latest global news for our panels of experts to analyze.

At nearly the same moment President Joe Biden declared him a "butcher," Vladimir Putin's missiles began falling in Lviv, Ukraine.Sending black smoke and flames billowing into the air, and injuring at least five people, the strikes on a fuel depot pierced what had been relative calm in the western hub city that had seen relatively little of the war that has engulfed the nation.The target hardly seemed coincidental. Biden was 250 miles away, visiting Ukrainian refugees in bitter cold at Poland's national stadium. He heard pleas from young mothers to pray for the men -- husbands, fathers, brothers -- they had left behind."We Ukrainian mothers are ready to strangle (Putin) with our bare hands," said a woman whose son remained to fight. Gathering up a small girl wearing a pink coat and pigtails, Biden told her he wanted to take her home.When he returned to his hotel, aides briefed Biden on the strikes in Lviv. A few hours later, propelled by heartache and anger, Biden walked into the courtyard of an old Polish castle to declare the Russian President "cannot remain in power."The very final words Biden would utter on his last-minute swing through Europe ended up being the most consequential, reverberating widely as Air Force One departed for Washington. They surprised his aides, many of whom spent hours honing the text of a speech viewed by the White House as a significant moment for Biden's presidency. The line Biden uttered wasn't in what they wrote.Gathered backstage at the castle, White House officials hastily issued a clarification -- one of several on this trip alone -- to say Biden wasn't calling for regime change. But not before the Kremlin issued its own affronted response, saying Russia's ruler is "not to be decided by Mr. Biden."The administration's downplaying of Biden's remark continued Sunday with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken saying from Israel, "I think the President, the White House, made the point last night that, quite simply, President Putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else."The series of events that unfolded here Saturday afternoon placed into sharp relief the highly unsettled atmosphere that pervades Europe as Russia's invasion of Ukraine enters its second month. A display of aggression from Putin in the borderlands of Ukraine was followed by an offhand yet forcefully delivered suggestion from Biden that Russians find another leader."He went to the National Stadium in Warsaw and literally met with hundreds of Ukrainians. He heard their heroic stories as they were fleeing Ukraine in the wake of Russia's brutal war in Ukraine. In the moment, I think that was a principled human reaction to the stories that he had heard that day," Biden's ambassador to NATO, Julianne Smith, said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."Biden's view of Putin had been growing increasingly dark over the past month, according to officials, and his language has sharpened in describing a "pure thug," "murderous dictator," "war criminal" and, after visiting refugees at the stadium, a "butcher."His aides have said Biden has been hoping to avoid the Cold War, Washington versus Moscow dynamic he believes Putin desires. Instead, he left Europe more directly at odds with the Russian leader than ever.Whether that was his intention seemed unclear. The clarification the White House issued was at least the third time on Biden's trip a White House official felt obliged to clean up remarks the President made that appeared, on their own, startling.As he was hailing the heroism of the Ukrainians, Biden told US troops "you're going to see when you're there" -- even though he's vowed American forces won't be entering the conflict directly. Afterward, a spokesman said nothing had changed: "The President has been clear we are not sending US troops to Ukraine."And after Biden said he would respond "in kind" to the...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest Pastor, The Rev. Julianne Smith

Today’s guest is Julianne Smith of The Garter Girl, a company with a singular mission to design and hand-create a wedding heirloom that is so stylish and so special that brides couldn’t wait to save it for their daughters. Sometime during her journey building The Garter Girl, she also founded a popular D.C. wedding blog called United With Love, which she eventually sold. This episode was inspired by a blog post that Juli recently published titled Life Without Swipe Up, which essentially reflects on the obsession with getting 10,000 Instagram followers and the Swipe Up feature, and it explores why more followers doesn’t necessarily mean more success, the importance of knowing your niche and showing up consistently where your potential customers are. We chat all that and more throughout this episode, and we also learn how Juli used her background in PR and politics to vault The Garter Girl forward. Be sure to check out the show notes at daveyandkrista.com for the resources we mentioned during the episode, and I’d like to hear from you about what kind of content you’d like to see on the Brands that Book podcast as we move forward.
