I will not hand before i read several paragraphs. from an open letterfrom 191i nobel several paragraphs. from an open letter from 194 nobel laureates. i quote: the underside nobel laureates voice our support for the ukrainian people and are free and independent state of ukraine, as it faces russian aggression. 191i nobel laureates. in a move that recalls the infamous attack of nazi germany on poland in 1939, using similar tricks of feigned provocation, the government of the russian federation le...

Taking us so long to make a decision that every leader supports? i ask that question too. get that 27 migs there. agree to the f-16s. i have no doubt it will happen, but it needs to happen sooner than later. >> forgive me if im misreading your tone. candidly you sound pissed. >> this is the worst war since world war ii. what putin is doing mirrors what hitler did to poland. people need to get their heads around this. this is on scale and scope the largest conventional war weve seen in europe sin...

On us and hitler declared war on us. if you think about it, its as if churchill had been invited in 1939 or 1940 to address the congress. he was always at privately lobb franklin roosevelt for arms, for aid, he said, you know, that things are afoot which will be told as long as the english language is spoken in any corner of the globe when he talks about the british defiance. he talked about british defiance, and i suspect zelenskyy alluded to churchill when he addressed the british parliament. ...

Born to a czechoslovakian diplomat, albright and her family fled the former czechoslovakia after the nazi invasion in 1939 and later found safe haven in the united states in 1948. she became a u.s. citizen, married media tycoon joseph albright and had three children all while working on her phd and learning multiple languages. in 1982, albright took a prestigious position as professor of international affairs at georgetown university. it was the shock of her husband asking for a divorce around t...

Bombardment. >> meeting with several european leaders. >> this invasion has to stop. >> certainly it is personal to me. it should be personal to all of us. its very much reflective of 1939. >> steve: its 2:00 in the afternoon in ukraine. overnight, we understand that president is now denying russian planes that he called for ukrainians to put down their arms. instead, calling for a renewed strength to defend their country until they claim victory. so far, thats not the case. >> brian: that was b...

Know what -- if you read the press from september 1939, they were not predicting what was going to happen later. theres another analogy i think is important. thats milosevic. milosevic was pretty popular. his wars abroad were pretty popular, and then one day he met a foe, us, that initially made him very popular. our bombing -- by the way, we did bomb even the capital city of belgrade in 1999 to stop what he was doing in terms of ethnic cleansing. initially he was very popular. a year and a half...

Intervening with military force. adam kinzinger told my colleague jim sciutto there needs to be a red line laid down here so its clear if russia crosses that line, what the response will be. do you agree, would a very clear red line laid out by either the u.s. or allies make a difference? >> i think that putin has crossed all the red lines possible. we have our 100 children dead already and thousands of civilians killed indiscriminate and sometimes precision fire on civilians. i think this is th...

Alternative to that, if things carry on as they are, but we do know that the most important thing is that ukraine will continue as an independent government and an independent government and an independent country with its own way of doing things which were not necessarily be that of russia. the comparison is always with finland, when stalin invaded in 1939, and a great achievement of the finnish people was not to keep all their territory, but to keep independence. putins plan as it was at the s...

Unrelenting serpent. from that moment forward, she wore a broach in the shape of a serpent and used her pin to send subtle messages without uttering a word. born to a chzechoslovakian diplomat, she and her family fled after the nazi invasion in 1939 and found safe haven in the united states in 1948. she became a u.s. citizen, married media tycoon joseph patterson albright and has children. in 1982, she took a prestigious position at georgetown university, but it was the shock of her husband aski...

Whatever happens in ukraine now because he has been so humiliated by the performance of his military that he may just lash out at other nato countries even if it was initially about a sense of ukrainian nationalism and russian nationalism. >> u.s. officials in recent days, you know, dont believe that is likely yet seeing how bogged russia has been in ukraine, but to kattys point they cant eliminate the idea that putin would lash out in an irrational attack, though badly out numbered russia would...
