So one, why was it ordered by secretary austin? and two, what changed to convince him that he should put patriots forward in poland? was there any kind of aerial incident? was there a failure of the deconfliction line? was there another intelligence community assessment that the risk was higher? what changed from before he ordered the patriots until now? >> no one thing precipitated this move. we have been talking now for weeks about our willingness and our capability of moving assets in theater...

Vision goggles. and now they have an issue of lack of fuel. >> yes, a lot of this talk about cyberwarfare, it is another weapon of mass destruction. it is cyberwarfare and the capacity against a sophisticated society like the united states to cause havoc, death, economic disruption is enormous. however, weve come a long way in the last ten years. and i would publicly assert that the ability of the united states and the uk who are joined at the hip and potential offensive cyber operations is enor...

When you go back a little bit, we complained that turkey had actually acquired the s-400, which is russias most modern air defense system, and right now the ukrainians have had access to a version of the s-300 and they were getting ones apparently on slovakia, but if they get the s-400, that gives them a much more modern capability and allows them to see at higher altitudes and see threats coming toward them a bit earlier than they would get from the s-300. so it would be a bit of a game-changer...

That he would want to increase his capability going forward. weve just not seen that yet. again, the most -- the smartest thing he could do right now is to make a decision to end this conflict. you know, hes passed by a number of opportunities to off-ramp, deescalate and try to settle this through negotiations. we call upon him to do so. >> kim, i keep hearing experts talk about the importance of making sure that putin has an off-ramp to avoid something like the use of nuclear weapons, but he do...

Points, full of needs to beat back whatever russia throws at us. this is our capital. we are fighting for it until the very end. there is a reason why the president, the government and all of russ still here. >> just hours from now, russia and ukraine will resume, this will be the fourth round of negotiations. do you have any hopes these talks will get russia to stop its invasion? >> all the talks have provided is for humanitarian corridors which russia has ignored anyway and shelled at every ch...

I would say it is possible. you quoted a letter from senior retired military earlier on. part of the letter that was not in your excerpt there raised exactly that issue that youre talking about. these generals and this one lead general said, mr. president, president putin, you could jeopardize your own regime. you could have destabilization. you could have even -- he even said the word uprising. there are concerns, joy, among generals who are, at that point, recommending, demanding, pleading wit...

Ability to create a no-fly zone. that has to be more than stinger missiles. we have to increase that capability. i think nato should continue to look at a jet solution but it may take some time to work out. in any event, if we do those three things i think it does undermine vladimir putin. it does help bring it to a close sooner rather than later. >> and you raise that telephone, it makes the point i was talking about a couple of weeks ago where my russian professor in 1983 said that the russian...

Yes, the kinzhal is an air launched ballistic missile. it can travel at speeds up to ten times the speed of sound and has a range of about 2,000 kilometres. its designed to provide precision strike capability against both targets on land and at sea. it entered service in late 2017 and, as noted, this is its combat debut. the speed of the kinzhal puts it beyond the reach of any ukrainian air defence system. and the launch platforms, in this case, the mig31—ik, can launch from ranges beyond the ...

Ukraine is not pursuing their territorial ambitions if they even have them, but by mere pollutant aids. keeps threatening, oh, i may use nukes or other weapons of mass struction. biological, chemical weapons. biden is a guy who has nuclear weapons pointed at this city, new york city. washington, d.c., and other states in the united states. and not ukraine. and like most bullies, bullies will only respond to strength. so biden needs to stop bubbling and phasing every time vladimir makes a threat,...

Theyre doing, which has been phenomenal, and hope that mr. putin comes to his senses. >> president biden has made clear he has no intention of sending u.s. troops to fight for ukraine, but the biden administration is talking with some european allies, slovakia, poland, romania about sending systems and other weaponry into the war. nothing yet. russias deputy prime minister has warned the u.s. that any convoys carrying foreign weapons into ukraine would be, quote, legitimate targets. when you hea...
