Like this every day. they need this on a constant, ongoing basis. what is the logistical challenge to make that happen? >> we have an incredible strategic air force. i used to be a joint lift validater. i can tell you, we have 232 c17s. the c5s, we can fly to poland in a matter of hours. a c-5 can take two m-1 tanks. we can establish and we have established an air bridge into poland. and then poland we need to essentially -- in world war ii we had this effort called the red ball express. 6,000 t...

United states and the nato allies do and where else is there a different way to -- you talk about the logistics chal challenge, to get things to the east more quickly. >> if we get the authorization from congress. we are spending $300 million a day on the war in iraq. thus far $2.4 billion, another $700 million. thats still less than ten days of the war in iran. we need to get as much equipment over there, talking about artillery, m-1 tanks that could be positioned in poland and other places to ...

Month. at the peak in iraq, if i can remind people, we were spending $9 billion a month. we need to get going. >> general mccaffrey, let me just follow up on that. weve been told that the ukrainians are just not trained on our advanced weapon systems and our nato partners are. were back filling by sending the weapons to our nato partners and theyre sending soviet-made weapons. youre telling me an m-1 tank can be used quickly by ukrainians and we should be sending those in? >> its just a good exa...

We gave nord stream 2 for nothing. we gave them an extension of a new start of the nuclear arms treaty for number. something that they wanted. vladimir putin decided to put a gun to the head of the west by moving troops to the ukraine and threatening to get to innovate if he couldnt get nato and what arms could be placed in current nato countries. hes developed an appetite for u.s. concessions. the time for appeasement to the russians is over. theyre looking at our words carefully and also actio...

Distributed to ukraine fighting units. im bombarded with ideas that we should give them patriot missiles for air defense. that would be a two year program to get missiles in there, train them, maintenance programs. none of that is going to happen. they wont end up with m-1 main battle tanks. the time is short. the situation will be probably resolved in under 90 days with russian occupation of much of the country. the cities will be devastated. so i think what we should focus on is the next step....

Anti-armor munition, anti-ship missiles, s-300 anti-aircraft missiles. m-1 tanks. cant tell you how much i worship the m-1 tank. >> whats -- not providing them so far, the stuff that you talk about. >> this is gone by phases. phase one he thought he could get in there with a gru and special ops and knock the ukrainian government out of office. that failed. then tank army into battle and stalled on the road. ukrainians beat them there. we went from the u.s. thinking to equip them to realizing to ...

Say, no, no, we cant give this up until you give us m-1 tanks and new self-propelled artillery. or maybe the allies -- maybe were measuring this in some way saying we dont want to give them too much because we dont want to escalate this so that putin uses a nuclear weapon. but, jake, my view on this is that weve got a window of opportunity here to give the ukrainians exactly what theyre asking for. weve got to do it quickly and let them finish the fight with the russians. this is not about stabi...

Immeasurably lower than anything we have seen in the last 20 years. i think the other thing is theres been understandable concern by the president of the united states and his senior officials on escalating the conflict, either horizontally to other nations in eastern europe or, god forbid, nuclear confrontation at a tactical level. now i think the war is at a new phase. you have to have a new mindset. the level of support has been inadequate in terms of giving the ukrainians the qualitative edg...
