Ukraine, mention his nuclear deterrent, russias nuclear capability. i think what this is, is him trying to send a message to the u.s. and nato to threaten the u.s. and nato, because as youll remember, when he launched that campaign in ukraine, he openly then threatened nato not to, he said, interfere in the campaign. its worth noting too, alex, so far russia appears to have launched a limited campaign, so just remember, despite the fact that russia is clearly having difficulties with its attempt...

Official, i asked him if president putin is directing this himself. and he said yes, that is how it is going. that is not surprising. we know that president putin makes all of the decisions. in the end, he will have had advice from that small clique around him, that ultimately he is the decision-maker. and another element of his televised address, which to reiterate, if russians will be stunned by. waking up and seeing now, another man from that televised address, which is chilling frankly. is t...

Have it in 2008 and we went down by almost 3 million barrels in one year, we are vulnerable. that waves the flag and putin gets an appetite. the second thing is when nato, remember, tucker, its got 1 billion people and economy eight times larger than russia. when it meets its defense commitments and most people pay the 2% and turkey and germany, which are the two largest countries in nato like the united states better than they do russia. and russia more than us. then putin seems to stay where h...

Really quite remarkable. to the military mind that looks like the biggest target on the planet earth. were not going to go bomb it, we nato, but if the ukrainians could get in and around that with javelins, start taking out some of that static offensive power, very significant. fourth and finally, the dog that really hasnt barked yet, peter, is cyber. and cyber attacks. so far the russians have not unveiled that capability. we know they have it. that could be a potential game changer because it ...

About that? well thank you very much for having me on firstly. l much for having me on firstly. frankly, putin doesnt care about sanctions, all the indicators continue to point to further incursions by russian forces and what i would tell you is, the next steps, any one of many possible escalation options probably are going to involve an effort to capture the remainder of don bus. but from a strategic perspective of and thats what i think a lot of commentators are missing today, what is at play ...

Theyre fabricating all sorts of ukrainian attacks and posturing and atrocities and genocide. putin has set up the rationale for ukraine pose as threat and theyre going to fight back, not softly-softly which nic pointed out, this will lead to full-scale war. >> if it leads to full-scale war, general kimmitt, the nato and u.s. forces are outside of ukraine. the president has made clear hes not sending american boots into ukraine. there has been a rush of anti-tank weapons, other equipment. theres ...

President biden doing this a lot. third thing is they really do want to put sanctions on russia. its no longer for deterrent. deterrent has failed. now its to punish and also to degrade the capability, the russian capability to pursue this war. these economic sanctions will hurt the russian economy. the economic sanctions will actually hurt russians as well. russian families. the sanctions on the big banks, which im sure were going to hear about, will have an effect on all russian families and t...

Of weapons to ukraine was an enormous error, and so was the error i think of our nation over some decades, not giving the kind of military defensive capability that ukraine needed to make the calculation that went through vladimir putins mind a more clear calculation, that taking on ukraine was not an easy thing to do. by the way, given the energy and the passion and the leadership were seeing from ukraine, i wouldnt count them out in being able to reject russias aggression. >> you talked severa...

Computers. they are wiping outdata and the risk is thats going to occur here. the three things we need to think about is one what is the technical capability of russia to launch a cyber attack against us. we know the answer to that and that is clearly yes. are we vulnerable? we know the answer to that, cleary yes. we see all the vulnerabilities every day about ransomware attacks and data breaches. and then the third is what the risk vladimir putin is going to calculate to take those capabilities...

File war crimes allegations against all of those advising the president, including himself. and to do whatever we can to help mitigate the impact its going to have here in the united states. because all of those sanctions will undoubtedly roll back to some degree upon us. im assuming that putin has his own plans to do something disruptive actions and activities here in the united states. so, i say we have to arm up and to beef up our defensive capability. put our offensive capabilities on high a...
