And to strengthen nato itself, both its resolve and its military capabilities. the fact that he sent troops to poland, the fact that he is shoring up the baltic nations, i think is indicative of his resolve to demonstrate to putin that you will not jeopardize nato members. i also believe that his strategy of calling out putin in advance is taking away tools putin traditionally uses. its hard to engage in disinformation when were calling out what were up to. its hard for putin to use a false even...

Troops are headed back to the bases and they released this video to prove it where you see a train and then you see the tanks as they move along. there it comes. so thats their proof on that. vladimir putin saying that hes willing to keep talking to avoid a war. that door is open. listen to the head of nato earlier today. >> what we see today is that russia maintains a massive invasion force ready to attack. with high-end capabilities from crimea to belarus. >> martha: lets bring in retired gene...

Republican leadership calls putins actions reprehensible while taking a dig at the same time at the current commander in chief. let me quote from the house republican leadership statement. quote, sadly president biden consistently chose appeasement, and his tough talk on russia was never followed by strong action. lethal aid was slow-walked. anti-air and anti-ship capabilities were never directly provided. pre-invasion sanctions are proportionate to the aggression putin had already committed wer...

Take over this country and attempt regime change or whatever hes doing. if you watch what he is doing, how do you assess and how would you assess if you were still in the agency, the rationality of this man and how we can anticipate what he would do and how far he might go? >> well, from our perspective, joy, it looks for very irrational, given the cost that he is likely to incur, as well as the ukrainian people. but as putin looks at the world, especially the region through his own personal pri...

Ukrainian military. the other thing ive always believed, there is risk here for putin to be sure. the international community is going to attempt to isolate him as a result of this. nato -- i would hope nato wakes up and we start getting defense budgets that have teeth in them and real capabilities to deploy into eastern europe. and the united states has got to look at itself. our major threat weve been talking about, bill, here many times on the show is china. and yet russia is imposing their w...

Diminished when russia invaded the eastern part of ukraine and crimea has been annexed, it has been significantly improved in terms of the combat capabilities and nato countries and many other partners helped us a lot to send to our forces. however, we are up against one of the strongest armies in the world. and it is significantly more, where we need more support at a bureaucratic level. we need a no-fly zone. we need russia to be disconnected from the s.w.i.f.t. system. we need russian oligarc...

Including a particularly relevant one now called "presidents of war: the epic story from 1807 to modern times," which i guess will need an update now that we have another president facing war. >> im afraid. >> michael, i have a lot of stuff i want to talk to you about but one of the things i want to talk to you about is the history being made right now by volodymyr zelenskyy. a man regarded by many up until a month ago as young, inexperienced, tv actor, not really up to the game of dealing with ...

Serious about reciprocating on these ideas we put forward. yesterday when you and i talked i also talked about the size and scale of nato exercises, u.s. exercises as part of the alliance and weve talked about the missile capabilities, defensive capabilies in the continent. were willing to have those discussions with mr. putin but he has shown no willingness to reciprocate in return. what we said weeks ago were willing to have these discussions but they have to reciprocate. there has been no sig...

Republican, but only ask one question, what resources does the united states need to impress sent the interests of the west and confront this move a vladimir putin? that is a sober approach to governing and democracy that is absent in todays republican party, as exemplified, not just by donald trump, but by his republican followers on capitol hill. >> yeah, to that end, republican house leadership today released a statement, kevin mccarthy, sadly, president biden consistently chose appeasement a...

Suspect intelligence and military services across europe, briefings continued for top leaders throughout the night as they sift through the intelligence and try and determine exactly what is going on. they do see the tv pictures. they see the social media. but this is an intelligence challenge now to get the very precise details they need. what we have learned is they did understand it was all about to unfold last night because russian radio chatter went silent. typically were told they monitor ...
