State of affairs? >> maria, let me add two more, we have watched him begin to his increases capability by firing longer and longer range missiles and he was going to conduct nuclear testing as well and none of us should forget americans are headed back to vienna to negotiate with the iranians this week. we gave them sanctions relief and told them take what you want and they give us nothing in return and they have already rejected that and will ask for more. there are four fronts where this minis...

National security? >> alisa, it seems like every week we get another indication of the complete exploitation of our intelligence committee. the rule of law and institutions. so, look, theres really almost nothing more classified in terms of the government function than what nsa does for a living. the thought you would turn that capability against the american people and undermined democracy by trying essentially to grasp at straws and say can we find anything out there, anything that sound like ...

Critical. the principal culprits here for me are not those poachers — sometimes people living in poverty that cannot do anything but capture birds in the forest to feed their family — and tackling that part of the crime will be extraordinarily difficult. the easier part would be dealing with those platforms. they have the technological capacity to stop this, i believe, overnight, if there was a will. what do you feel that conservationists could do to help with this cause? frankly, i cannot w...

Those are two things that stood out to me, i was struck by the feeling, by the gravity of the situation being conveyed by both men, which you said, katy, is counter from what we are hearing on the ground in ukraine. we also heard about the capabilities russia is building up. we heard another thing about logistic support, and general milley laid out why it is that the vast array of forces that russia has, more than 100,000 in number now and the capabilities they have there, why that is so concern...

President of ukraine is saying, what our presidents saying, what nato leaders are saying. what do you make of the contrasting messages? >> craig, both messages are important. it is clearly the case that the russians have the capability to invade ukraine. ukraines military is strong but not strong enough to defend against the russian military. theres no doubt about that. so thats a strong message to get ready. thats also a strong message for the united states and nato to prepare for that kind of ...

What i can tell you we are not sure mr. putin has made a final decision here. we are watching that closely. number two, he continues to add to his combat capability around ukraine and in belarus. every day he is adding more forces which means every day he has more options available to him. that is what we are trying to discern, what options he might endeavor to pursue. i will tell you we still think there is room for diplomacy. here at the defense department we would like to see that succeed. . ...

Range and russia must understand that the answer to this situation lies at the negotiating table. if you remember back just a few years when russia shot down the malaysian airliner, we know their capability to do harm to innocent people. and we cannot leave ukraine vulnerable. i want to thank the nations of poland and as i mentioned the baltic countries as well for their courage. and for their strength in alliance. i believe that the nations europe of, 30 of them that met with deputy secretary w...

Can. i cannot speak for what president zelensky is saying what hes seeing it certainly what he saying about what he saying we have been nothing but clear and transparent about our concern here at the pentagon over this rapid buildup over the last few months around the border with ukraine not to mention maritime activity by the russians in the middle atlantic. but we have said dana as he has a lot of options. putin has a lot of options available to him if he was to further invade ukraine. he can ...

General jack keane. russia has sent a written response to the deescalation proposal, talking about being engaged in more talks. does that tell you that putin is trying to resolve this, playing for time, something else at work here, general? >> no, i truly believe we are in the diplomatic phase here. two pathways that have taken place. one is the u.s., nato and russia and exchange of written proposals and possibly some areas to negotiate on, and those areas are likely having to do with offensive ...

To see when that is removed. back to you. rich: william la jeunesse, thank s very much. arthel. arthel: all right, rich, well, with tensions still high along the russia-ukraine border, fox news is learning russia now has in place about 70% of the forces it would need to launch a full scale invasion. thats about 130,000 troops. experts are monitoring russian military movement and say 83 battalions are now massed on the border, and thats up from 60 just two weeks ago and 14 more are in transit. le...
