should when we are talking about something that could full scale war with russia. one we sent 196 billion of either committed or already sent money. where is that money going? is it being fully audited watch dogs raised concerns how that money is being spent. we don t know what it s being spent. what does winning look like in ukraine as well. look, russia took crimea in 2014. also the eastern part of the donbas region. does winning mean expelling russia from those parts? is it feasible? is it possible? what s it going to take and senator lindsey graham with all due respect he was fine with a 20 year war with afghanistan. that wasn t long enough for him. brian: that s not true, lisa, that s not true. lisa: what was the exit strategy. brian: hold the area. keep an eye on the terrorists and make sure china and iran know that we re go and we hold bagram. this president i had 00 particularly thought it would be a great idea just to leave and
well, absolutely. the fear right now is that is escalation, but i like the determination of biden. there is no way that we are getting out of supporting ukraine while he s president. this is the center piece of his presidency. we remember in the cold war everything was about berlin and presidents from harry truman, eisenhower, kennedy. we held firm on berlin. the united states now has as told the world that ukraine is the standing ground for democracy. it s on trial there, and there s nothing that will allow the united states to abandon ukraine, but let s hope there s some negotiations of finding an exit strategy for putin. he has himself backed in a very grim corner, and his only lifeline is really china. at all costs our state department needs to make sure that china understand the consequences if they give any more aid or any more, you know,
ukrainians to fight that matters and adds in immense ways to the fight on the front which is hard. doug brinkley, this is already in effect a proxy war between the west and russia given the amount of weaponry that the u.s. and the nato allies are sending to ukraine. we learned over the weekend from secretary blinken that the u.s. is seeing indications that china may make a move that it has not yet in this war which is to pro1r50id leth provide lethal munitions to russia. what would that do to lengthen the war? it would lengthen the war. i worry that there is no exit strategy here for putin. if the only lifeline is to china, and if he doesn t get that, he is stuck. there is not track to diplomacy
stream pipeline. it feeds into that. you watch, i stumbled upon a minute 30 of kamala harris speech in munich. we played a portion of it. absolutely brutal. the slower you talk when you read a teleprompter, the deeper meaning it has. rachel: yeah. i mean, it just there s no and then all the seals in the audience were like good job. it s so unserious that if that war ha begun, the other side hao be licking their chops saying this is an advantageous administration to set the terms for a future shooting war which we hope doesn t happen by moving the chess pieces around in a way that helps them, that s the scary part. rachel: you said this administration doesn t appear to have an exit strategy out of this war. indeed, this administration has has an entrance strategy. rachel: they had an entrance
west and it s essentially an economic warfare that has begun. he said the real question is, is there an exit strategy, us there an off ramp for this. it appears the united states has no exit strategy for what s happening in ukraine. if that s the case, then we have to come to grips with the idea that almost every real world, world wars have been predicated by economic wars. japan bombed pearl harbor because we sanctioned their ability to import oil. that s not excusing it. that was japan s rational. what did hitler do when he decided to invade east, he went dowdown to romania to get oil reserves. economics precede wars. that s why blowing up a pipeline is considered and act of war which is why the biden administration so adamantly denies what has been reported in he detail likely happened at the united states blew up the nord
