All that and speak with great specificity in terms of the exact systems that are being provided to ukraine. we are in constant communication with them about their needs and capabilities and i suspect that those conversations will continue. >> when are the weapons going to start arriving? >> im not promising any specific weapon from the podium or the timeline for it. three packages in this latest drawdown package, more coming in fairly short order and we are not detailing every item in the shipme...

Reconnaissance, transportation and additional capabilities into europe. >> so what were all watching here is will nato activate that nrf, that response force in advance of a russian invasion, or will it not come until after an invasion? we do expect to hear more specifics, potentially even in the coming hours today or tomorrow about some of those units that are bases here in the united states who have about placed on those prepared-to-deploy orders, craig. >> courtney kube from the pentagon with...

Clarity. and we saw that, particularly you saw a press conference that went on and on and on much longer than anybody anticipated that it went on. i think it was one of the longest. maybe president clinton has him beat. but in part, that was, you know, to show his stamina but i think he sort of gets himself in trouble, the longer he goes on. i thought the sort of short answers are better and i think it just emphasizes this idea that people wanted joe biden in the presidency to regain a sense of ...

Forces, naval forces, special forces, cyber, electronic warfare, command and control, logistics, engineers, and other capabilities along the ukraine border. >> thats what the capability to invade means. having all those things in place, and in place, you hear they are. here is some of what secretary austin and general milley are talking about specifically when they list those, right? these are exclusive satellite images i showed you last night if you were watching. let me show you again. eight n...

One speaks in diplomacy, especially in the age of cyber and space and true capabilities that exceed what we had seen during the time of world war ii. if theres room for doubt, if theres space, vladimir putin will drive a truck through that gap. he will perceive any weakness and say, well, it was disorganized. these are the kinds of things that are listened to very closely. you could tell by the response of president zelensky, he listened very closely. we had deterrence for four years. vladimir p...
