The us shot down ukrainian requests for warplanes. poland offered to send migs if the u. s would agree to take take possession. first we believe the provision of additional fighter aircraft provides little increased capabilities. at high risk later, the distinction between offensive and defensive weapons appears moot. the biden administration is now considering sending refurbished sixteens to ukraine a year ago, the us deemed patriot missile batteries too complicated now ukrainian troops are tra...

Exception of the combat operations we see from putin in crimea. but its a very important time right now for the ukrainians to be able to prepare to further defend their territory. but also, be able to take back sovereign territory. we know that the russians are attempting to recruit, to refit, to prepare for an offensive, and so at some point that the ukrainians get the security systems they need to be able to defend their country. the kinds of capabilities that you see our european allies provi...

Offensive threat. we are not giving ukraine offensive capabilities. are we egging them on to try to win a war they cannot win? what does that say about the threat profile we are creating? >> we have to be pretty sober about what is possible. right now, russia has just mobilized 300,000 troops. they have reportedly about 150,000 in position right now training to get ready for their own offenses sometime this winter, potentially within weeks or daze from now. thats according to ukraine and russian...

Policy shift, behind the decision to deliver those us tanks at all. something that us military had not recommend something that officials of the white house were very weary of doing. they didnt believe it was the best use of capabilities in terms of the battlefield dynamics, that are currently in play but it gets at the central driving force behind how president biden has viewed this war throughout the 11 months it has been ongoing and also in the months before hand as the us is trying to put to...

But where do you see the war going from here? well, i do think in the spring and summer, we will see the fighting tick up a bit. russia has long been talking about, been murmuring about another offensive at kyiv. its unclear how they would do such a thing, but i think now that their troopss ranks have increased, we could see that. and we could also see, with these tanks and with some additional capabilities, ukraine launching another counteroffensive in the south. so, lots more to come, but expe...
