Here but i think that zelenskyy is actually winning this fight. putin is losing the information war and losing the diplomatic war. he is losing the economic war and if this was a prize fight right now i would say he is behind on points. it remind me art imitates life and i remember the rocky movie in the 15th round when rocky is looking at creed and says come on, come on. what putin doesnt want to do and forced into it. he will have to assault kyiv. kyiv is a city now of two million people. used...

Should you be worried if you are in kyiv this weekend? >> well, whats happened now for the first time is we do have combat forces on the outskirts of kyiv on the west side which will be an access to encircle the city from the west and also on the east side, northern east side circle the city on the east side as well. so, that is a first. they are consolidating now. they have taken some losses as you have been pointing out here and certainly on the videoed is very graphic to that case. but, yes, ...

To break the back necessarily of combat forces on the ground. so theyre trying to combine the two and partly i think because to some extent the combat forces have been stalled, they have not been able to achieve the swift victory, the rapid decapitation of the administration here that they had hoped for. so theyre switching back to their old-fashioned attacks on civilians, which we have seen before. remember, grozny, brianna. >> theyre making ukrainians pay for this. and, look, dumb bombs, in a ...

About 55 to 60% are the logistics forces. so what youre talking about truly is the majority of the casualties are coming in the combat forces. so its even -- its even worse than you would consider when you start doing the battlefield calculus and the battlefield math. >> seth, in that context, ukraine asks for more weapons from nato and the u.s. obviously has been providing a significant amount of weaponry to ukraine and defensive capabilities as well. but when you look at the incredible losses ...

So it is an intense battlefield on both sides. seth mentioned 10,000 casualties. im going to say i believe that its much higher than that with much higher wounded, but this is intense, modern-day, conventional conflict with high-powered and ferocious weapons. its very different than what weve been watching for the last 20 years in iraq and afghanistan when its squad against squad. these are heavy armored equipment against other heavy armored equipment. >> it is stunning when you talk about it, w...

That ukraine are the good guys in this fight by showing a willingness to be flexible on the negotiations. >> you know, general, obviously the best time to push a negotiate is when you have the stronger hand to play. do you believe ukraine has the stronger hand right now? >> yeah, i do. i agree with dr. kori schakes remarks. but we shouldnt kid ourselves. putin himself makes the decisions. and i dont think hes changed his strategy. hes faced a tactical defeat with his combat forces. so i think hi...

>> no, i was going to say, we were talking earlier about his disinclination to use the military instrument of power, and its interesting to note that one of the things that drove that was his experience in vietnam. dont forget, he went to vietnam very early in the war. he got there fully ten years before we finally withdrew all combat forces. and a dozen years before the north vietnamese took over. he was an adviser there. and he knew exactly how the military instrument of power could be used an...

You mentioned the time line and that is where we were going with senator boxer, i want to play the president today talking about once bin laden was eliminated and it was time then to begin changing course. take a look. >> your attack by osama bin laden and al qaeda on september 11th, 2001, we delivered justice to bin laden and may 2nd, 2011. we succeeded over a decade ago. then we stayed for another decade. it was time to end this war. >> a decade ago, and senator, we checked as we often do arou...
