After we had the debacle in afghanistan. we have 13 dead americans on a withdrawal that, in my opinion, could have been prevented. it should not have happened the way it did. i think whenever the president did not hold anyone on his senior team accountable for one of the most embarrassing actions that has happened to us since our withdrawal from vietnam, that sets the precedent. by the way, we were talking about this earlier with bill hemmer. i was at least. this is one of the reasons why you se...

Was trying to minimize the scale of the fiasco in august and ever since then they simply want to turn the page. they dont want to have this in the news. they dont want the american people focused on the historical debacle in afghanistan that has a direct contributing factor to vladimir putins position to invade ukraine or iran and its proxies attacking our friends across the middle east or china becoming more aggressive as well. when our adversaries saw what happened in afghanistan, they realize...

Vice president, theres an old axiom that you need to follow. the first report is always wrong. its not surprising. sandra, very candidly, it was a debacle in afghanistan. something happened that shouldnt have happened. we shouldnt have been put in that position as the united states. biden put us in that position. i think he got good advice that he didnt follow and we ended up losing 13 great americans and hundreds of civilians as well. >> sandra: you joined us throughout that time. thanks for jo...

Bases and make clear, in a believable way with their actions, that there wont be another russian military invasion of ukraine. i suppose the question is there how can president putin do that without losing face? do you have an idea what his end game really is with this whole debacle that has been happening over the past few weeks in particular? i do. i think hes trying to do a former us secretary of state george shultz called "casting the shadow of power over the negotiating table. " i think he ...

Want to deal with it, the fact that the germans say they dont want to give lethal weapons to the ukrainians and joe biden is saying were ready to send troops to support this. i saw a tweet from you that said otherwise. >> thats right. look, i think there are lots of reasons why putin decided to take this moment to escalate so dramatically around ukraine. lets face it. biden, after afghanistan, had particularly stressed relations with atlantic allies. they were very unhappy with the unilateralism...

Much lethal aid we can provide at this time. we need to ensure the safety and security of americans in the donbas region. they need to move out or know how to evacuate safely should russia invade. again, i hope we can prevent that through diplomacy. >> specifically on sanctions, you heard secretary blinken tell me that if they impose sanctions now, it would take away a deterrent. your response? >> i think we have many options for deterrence when it comes to russia. but we need to impose those no...

Picture of the remarks this week were biden made some plugs and talks about minor incursions really did not help. theres still time to turn that around. putin has got to look at that situation and say its just not worth it. right now, following on the debacle in afghanistan, he is gambling the u.s. is a week and nato cannot get it together. i think he is wrong on that. nato has been pretty firm they demand ukraine sovereignty be respected. we see them making quiet moves to reinforce that. the ke...
