>> we take our commitment to article five very seriously. an attack on one nato nation is an attack on all. that is why we have continued to flow additional resources and capabilities to natos eastern flank to be able to do that if needed. hopefully it wont come to that, joe, but if a nato country is attacked the united states will an absolutely come to the defense of it. you know, joe, first and only time that article five was invoked was in our defense on 9/11 where nato came to our defense. w...

Multi-3e8 axes that this offense is being conducted along, and then you have to realize only about one third of that number of troops are close combat troops. and they are facing very determined resistance with ukrainians who have some pretty significant close combat capabilities. what they dont have and what have you covered here is they dont have control of the air, right? and that hurts they cant really contest the air very well. and they are losing control of the sea lanes and the sea ports....

Potential for world war iii. that means western troops are directly fighting against the russians. what i want to be clear here is putin doesnt see it that way. putin believes that every sing jane just mentioned aside from engagement with the chinese, what were already doing in terms of providing advanced capabilities from nato to ukraine, providing realtime intelligence updates on the disposition of russian forces so the ukrainians could better blow them up, as well as trying to destroy the rus...

Are you sure russia is as vulnerable as you claim it is? well, thats the only leverage the west now has on russia. well, i dont pretend and i dont expect that, like, nato would start a war with russia. not going to happen, right? so, the only, like, "peaceful" leverage the west still has is going after putins money and trying to use it. so, this is something that, at least, is worth trying, because everything else we know already. all those diplomatic efforts of this, like, you know, shuttle dip...

John kirby at the pentagon is speaking now. well listen in for developments. >> just like it will, too, other nations. and as they do that, we will certainly be able to acknowledge and announce those u.s. capabilities and units who will be going specifically as designated to support the nato mission and the nato response force. now as weve also announced previously, the department has placed a range of multi-mission units in the united states and europe on a heightened preparedness to deploy whi...

He has talked about russias nuclear capabilities before, during the launch of the invasion. he has of course also warned any country that tries to interfere with what he is doing in ukraine, that there would be consequences which would go beyond anything that you have seen in your history, which most people took as a veiled reference to some kind of nuclear attack. it is clear that mr putin does not want to back down, despite the sanctions, despite his increasingly isolated position on the world...
