Intelligence was provided to president biden and the administration so they could anticipate some of these twists and turns of developments over the weekend. and i must say i think the biden administration has handled this situation very well, made it very clear that this situation is a matter of internal russian dynamics. we have had nothing to do with it. and theyre not going to do or say anything that is going to be perceived as trying to influence events there. so as this continues to unfold...

Twelve months now. its time to get them in the fight. >> and very briefly are you as confident as the u.s. says it is that command and control over the nuclear arsenal is secure? >> i am. the russian armed forces is a series of ghettos and penthouses. the ghetto has been on display, the really poorly made land fight in ukraine. but the penthouses where they put their money, thats the nuclear forces, the long-range bombers. that is well resourced and ready to go. im confident that one is covered....

They have a horrible history of, frankly, hazing the conscripts. i think the prigozhin warriors, theyre not interested in fighting for some general that they think is more interested in pleasing the higher command than in looking out for them. >> general, were out of time, but i want to ask you quickly, what do you think the chances are that prigozhin survives this? >> i think if its true that he is with with lukashenko, he has a better chance of surviving, but hell have to sleep with one eye op...

>> well, you know, prigozhin his pushing them for a long time, until finally putin decided to put a stop to it and have prigozhin sign a contract with the defense ministry. he refused. at this point, he already put himself outside the law, already potentially put himself before the fire squad for disobeying the command of his commander in chief. once he rolled that dice, prigozhin really did not have that will choice. he either had to surrender, probably be arrested, or at least have a chance to...

We gave put no excuse to blame this on the west or nato. we may clear that we are not involved. we had nothing to do with it. this was part of a struggle within russian system. >> despite bidens remark about potent, shortly after russia invaded ukraine, " for god sake this command cannot remain in power. >> the white house is not weighed in on the computer. >> is a present at all disappointed that this episode came and went vladimir putin is still in power? >> the president is focused on route s...

Ukraine disaster. david, i wonder what this means for the war in ukraine, how the ukrainians are reacting. can they capitalize on this in any way? >> so this is, as secretary blinken said yesterday, a book of failure. it is a direct challenge, again quoting blinken, to putins authority and his rule. what that means for ukraine right now is hard to predict, but it cant be anything good for russia. russias command and control structure has been rocked. rebellion by the militia leader who was the f...

What really happened. —— i think vladimir putin comes out of this damaged. we should expect revenge against traitors, in terms of what happens on the battlefield, in russias invasion of ukraine, i think it is a bit too early to tell, so the ukrainians should certainly be looking for advantage, if there is advice is to be found, for example in the morale of the russian army stance to take a dip. they should certainly be looking at whether there are sailors in command and control in the russia...
