Hoping for the best. they hope that they have prepared adequately and now the mission is really two fold, to make sure they are doing everything they can to support ukraines efforts to repel russia including all of those continued shipments of weapons that you were talking about and then, of course, to shore up the nato allies including these baltic nations that are so scared that if president putin goes beyond ukraine these countries could potentially be threatened. blinken once again repeating...

Bad it is and then... ( explosion ) and he survived that blast. with ukrainian forces refusing to fold, the russian military has unleashed punishing artillery and airstrikes. the city of 1.4 million people suffering heavy losses as indiscriminate shelling rained down on apartment buildings, buses, even ambulances, the university in flames. ukraine says more than 2,000 civilians vehicle killed. the besieged port city of mariupol has takin residents rushed to the hospital, innocent victims of ceas...

This. one of the maddening things watching the carnage in ukraine, this did not have to happen. this war was preventable, and i think it was caused by two specific mistakes made by the white house. number one, bidens disastrous withdrawal and surrender in afghanistan to the taliban. i think every enemy of america took the measure of the man in the oval office and concluded that he was weak and ineffective and i said at the time when it happened the chances of russia invading ukraine increased te...

About a day after the invasion started when the e.u. stepped up and the u.s. followed in introducing very severe and very drastic sanctions. we dont know with this ends up with russians economy. is it something that they can recover from quickly if theres -- they pull back and they deescalate? can we turn off some of the sanctions and quickly help the russian economy recover and bring them back in to the fold of the western world? we dont know what will happen with that. the more important thing...

Sanctions work, because i guess the ultimate question is will they sway the governments behavior? and more importantly, specifically, vladimir putins? so i guess is a two fold, will they sway vladimir putin, or will they impact him directly? >> they will not sway putin. frankly, he doesnt care if some of these people lose their walks, your apartments, their houses. thats really of no interest to him. he is hell-bent on doing what hes doing in ukraine. he wants to subjugate ukraine, and you know,...

And then it would be empty and the syrian regime forces and russian capitalist will come in and try to scoop up all the real estate. so thats the playbook from syria. and as well, by the way, it was in syria that this wave -- protecting misinformation and propaganda was really pioneered by the russians. the syrian regime had dropped chemical weapons on its own people. and it was russian troll farms and russian entrepreneurs who tried to cast doubt on that. and i think we are going to see a simil...

I guess that has led some people who watch putin far more closely than i do to say, look, this really is about ukraine and his sense of legacy, that he needed to restore the boundaries as he thought they should be, to get ukraine back into the russian fold, and it is more about that and less about nato and nato expansion. nato expansion was more of a red herring for him. when you read the long datribe that he wrote last summer it is not about nato. it could be good news in that he is prepared to...

On wednesday, there was no shortage of energy or quality. this goal the reward for arsenals spring heeled start. this is a team and a club with renewed purpose, aston villa were lunging just to keep pace. arsenal still needed more distance though, a second goal that would make the game safe. it remained just out of reach. it left them vulnerable to villa stepping into the lights come on found an angle but not the right one. last kick of the game, aston villa free kick, just a time when arsenal o...

As about the coordination between us and ukraine because the president wants to make sure that our defensive aid doesnt creep into our sense of operation and the holes and the readouts or away i think to really protect the world that you made a good point about the g7. you have the eu and nato kind of all coming together and the pentagon is really pushing for china to kind of get in that fold. listen to john kirby and ill get your response. urged china to take the role of any other responsive ma...
