That we have come together with such unity on this, i think, what will be a devastating package of sanctions. i also think that if we were to impose them in advance and potentially even announce them in advance that wed give the russians more time to prepare and so there are downsides to even the announcements of specific sanctions but i think its clear from the united st states, from germany regarding nord stream but also sectoral sanctions and russian oligarchs that penalties are going to be e...

Jolted me out of bed and jolted me “p jolted me out of bed and jolted me up to watch a video of vladimir putin, as you heard from steve, declaring war on this country although euphemisms about us special military operations in donbas are not true, there is a military assault going on across this country, all major cities are under attack in one form or another, so it is extremely serious and it has shocked, i think, is extremely serious and it has shocked, ithink, many is extremely serious and...

Foothold or beachhead, if you will, but i also look for a move from belarus towards kyiv and the attempt by the russians to neutralize other militarily significant targets. so i think putin overall is interested in rolling back the calendar, history by about 30 years. and this injustice, this grievance of his has been eating at him for that long. and for whatever reason, hes decided to do what he can to right this tremendous wrong to russia. and so i dont think -- and i dont think ukraine is goi...

And if you think back to chechnya, the chechnya interventions in the 1990s, putin presided over the last one in 1999 where they essentially dealt with chechnyaen rebels by leveling the city. i mean, there is tough times ahead for the ukrainian people. all the support we can give them but i dont think, you know, i dont think russia is going to be able to accomplish its objectives but certainically inflict a heck of a lot more pain and suffering manned make what is already a humanitarian crisis mu...

Russians want to do is use nukes. that would be devastating for them. and -- >> are you sure? he keeps talking about it. >> hes alerted them, but i dont think -- hes crazy, but hes not that crazy. i think it will be -- i wont call it a hail mary for him to try to use, but what we got to concentrate on is this heavy firepower that is coming, not nuclear, but conventional firepower that is going to come at them, it is going to have air come in with them, and theyre not going to care about the beau...

It can avoid defensive systems and so on. i think in the context of ukraine, im afraid it isjust another russian weapon. it may indicate that they want to try it out in battle conditions. its a relatively new weapon. it may be simply that they are running out of stocks of other kinds of missiles, but i dont think it actually alters the basic facts on the ground, which is the extraordinary willingness of the russians to bombard civilian areas indiscriminately, as well as obviously trying to take ...

Hay out of it, you know, really exploit it to his benefit. i think its a good thing to have those debates raging right now on the right, its a healthy thing. howard: leslie, the journalist consensus is that vladimir putin is committing war crimes every single day and may not stop with ukraine. so they say, well, we cant needlessly to to voc putin, you made reference to the no-fly zone, but hes indiscriminately slaughtering civilians every day. >> nuclear weapons, making this into a third world w...

But is now msnbc anchor, debuting here on msnbc. the name is simone, and that is simone sanders. thank you all very much for coming to "the sunday show." lets just go around the table here, sort of react to what we just heard from those two brothers, the mayor of kyiv and his brother, famous professional boxer and the resolve of the ukrainian people. kurt, i dont think, i dont think putin was thinking that this was the kind of reaction hed be getting from the people of ukraine. >> no, its very c...

Also incredibly physically demanding and mentally draining. im starting to think they wont even be able to encircle kyiv. again, that blow struck against an armored regiment. the russian in that clip that you played earlier is also reporting that the regimental commander was killed. thats an strard blow. you add that to the other casualties. the other losses of armor and personnel and so forth. you just cant keep sustaining that kind of loss. the column from the east in particular, where this wa...

The centerpiece of any negotiations. would it be israel or finland or maybe china? although like you, ive used that as a long shot. i always thought that turkey would be a clear player, that president erdogan would be the middle person. we now see him stepping into the space. the more potential partners we bring together, i think the more were advancing in the next steps of reaching resolution. but i also dont think -- this isnt imminent. were still, i would argue, weeks away, at best. >> of cou...
