question but the blowback he s now getting this week is really extraordinary. - people in his own military- are standing up and questioning him and it s starting to l unleash more and more. that s when you start to feel like maybe he is not - his iron grip is not so solid. the problem is as all military strategists have said give your enemy an exit. he has no exit strategy. i can t see what he can do other than utterly humiliating himself. i can t see a way out. it was fascinating, too, joe biden almost saying that in public. saying they were trying to work out what would be the exit strategy. the ukrainian will not give up territory afterj what they ve gone through. i think you re right i what are they giving? it s utter humiliation. but right now, he s being i humiliated and the evidence suggests that the troops i are ill trained, ill equipped and demoralised. you can t win a war, no matter how many more forced conscripts you throw at it.
joe biden also said that in public they were trying to work out what would be the exit strategy. the ukrainian will not give up territory - after what they ve gone through. i think you re right, . what are they giving? it s utter humiliation. right now, he s being humiliated and the evidence suggests - that the troops are ill trained, ill equipped and demoralisedj you can t win a war, no matter how many more forced conscripts you throw at it. under those circumstances. of course he could say, i had a victory when they diminished oil production. russia is not a member of the opec organisation. they were in vienna. why does it help putin? it gives him money. to fight off the war effort.

what his exit strategy in ukraine is going to be. that s notable as well because he first raised the prospect of wondering what that is back in may. kaitlin, biden s own national security council and state department have been more measured on this issue. how alarming to see the president speaking like this? i have asked officials about this. they said he is making clear how seriously they are taking putin s threats. officials made clear to the russian counterparts behind the scenes what the consequences would be if russia decided to do this. but you re right. we have not seen officials at the pentagon or the state department or the national security council go as far as president biden did tonight, invoking armageddon, saying that he believes there is no possible use of a tactical nuclear weapon without it actually getting to armageddon. there has been this idea of what if russia deployed one over the black sea, what if they used a smaller one in a certain area to send a warning s
