this independence that you have very well drawn out here is an indication of why. john: general keane, always good to have your analysis. hang in there with us. sandro. sandra: fox news alert, brand-new information on troop movement into germany. jennifer griffin has got that lie from the pentagon for us. what do we know? we have learned a little bit more about the announcement that president biden made that 7,000 u.s. troops would now be deploying to germany. those are among those 8500 troops, remember, that the pentagon put on standby order a few weeks ago. they will be coming from the united states. that is a new development. the trips that have moved in recent days are already based in europe. that 1,000 or so, they were coming from italy, but they will be coming from the states, and they will go to germany where, remember, the head of the 18th airborne is there. he will oversee these troops.
union. we have moved more forces here to poland and lithuania, it s more of a deterrent. this sounds more like defensive positions as opposed to deterrent. i agree, and agree with general kellogg we need to look at additional missile defense assets to go into the area and protect our nato allies and additional protection for ukraine. great to see you again, thanks for coming in. sandra: thank you, john. martha maccallum now, martha, you heard the president s news conference. we were a little shocked by the timing, pushed up 90 minutes, it was going to fall at 3:00 during your hour. but we got it and it was about 6 or 7 questions he took, about 16 minutes in total, not sure if that met or exceeded or went under expectations but did hear from the president and seemed to let the cat out of the bag that he s going to travel to the ukrainian border, i think we forgot that a few minutes ago, i
wish to stay in europe closer to their homes. but we have also will welcome 100,000 ukrainians to the united states with the focus on reuniting families. that is welcome news. 100,000, a bit of a drop in the ocean, to be honest with you, but we expect president biden here in poland tomorrow and possibly who knows, maybe he ll get a firsthand look at the refugee crisis and the people who had to flee their homes. john: i think you might be right about that. he did seem to let the cat out of the bag at the nato press conference. sandra: larry kudlow is on set and already ripping over here. inflation pushing housing prices, rental costs, and in the past raising interest rates has fixed the problem but a painful price. is jay powell willing to go there, is the country staring
otezla. show more of you. john: president biden holding a news conference last hour at nato headquarters in brussels. the president talking about new developments coming out of the high stakes emergency meetings on the war in ukraine. peter doocy travelling with the president in brussels and peter, i got to say in the press conference the president did not go too deep into the press corps. he really didn t. six out of 21, so just about a third of the people who came all the way to europe to try to ask him questions. but the president did make some news. he said he plans to respond in kind with nato partners if russia use as a chemical weapon. he hopes that president xi does not get more involved and he said today that sanctions were never meant to deter, which is kind of a remarkable statement from the president because it s been exactly one month, he said
depend on the nature of the use. john: he said it would trigger a response in kind, i m not sure those are the words he meant to say because that would suggest we would respond with chemical weapons as well. but the bigger point, you believe that president biden should draw a red line with russia in terms of the potential use of chemical weapons. yet in september in 2013, the obama administration drew a red line and then ignored it. why would russia be afraid of the red line? we did not make it clear up front what would happen, and vladimir putin based on intelligence is publicly available, miscalculated. he thought the west is not going to respond, even with tough sanctions, and miscalculated as to the ukrainian response and the degree of bravery and courage we would see. but i think you have to be clear, one of the lessons we have learned and let s be clear to try to have it be deterrent going to the horrible weapons
