Page 8 - Putin Cannot News Today

Never occurred to me that he would become president. i think its riaht would become president. i think its right to _ would become president. i think its right to say _ would become president. i think its right to say that _ would become president. i think its right to say that you - its right to say that you talked to him before his summit with putin. he talked to him before his summit with putin-— with putin. he certainly knew m view with putin. he certainly knew my view of... _ with putin. ...

You are taking, that in essence, putin cannot be allowed to continue, are you risking nuclear war? and the countervailing risk is to turn a blind eye to the type of atrocities that we in the west have said we will stand firmly against. where this leads... i think that is absolutely the right question to pose me and to other leaders across the west. but the notion that we would suddenly turn a blind eye and say, when this is, all is forgiven and were going to invite you back in to the to the club...

Of when youve got someone like putin who rules with a small cabal, when this individual whos become more and more disconnected from, in a sense, reality... the pictures weve all seen of putin meeting with, whetherforeign leaders or their own russian leadership, him at one end of the table versus the other — it speaks a thousand words. where this allows putin an exit ramp, thats a valid question to ask, but not being willing to call out the atrocities for what they are i think would be a grave ...

Has not ever been tested yet. a wider geopolitical thought — some of your opponents here in the us senate, and im thinking of people like marco rubio and lindsey graham, want biden to be even tougher, send more weapons, impose tighter sanctions on vladimir putin. and they say notjust because we have to win this fight in ukraine, but also they say it has huge ramifications for our wider struggle, particularly with china. they say that unless putin is defeated and seen to be defeated, president ...

Nato have come back together, an organisation that candidly a year ago at the end of the trump presidency was totally broken. i think a lot of that was due to the fact that the american intelligence community, along with the british intelligence community, had been very forward—leaning up to the beginning of the conflict about vladimir putins intentions and made the case that he was going to not only invade ukraine, but invade in a massive way, as he has. i remember as recently as ten days bef...

But theres been no official us government confirmation. but you know the inside story. yeah, but thats not my role to share that information, particularly on a broadcast show. but i will say this — that leading up to the invasion, one of the things that... and again, intel, whether its british intel or american intel, you know, by nature those folks in that community dont like to share information. so what we... one of the things that was remarkable was early on, putin expected not only to be ...

Intelligence cooperation, the arming of ukraine, the feeling that we will do whatever it takes — it feeds into a russian narrative, a narrative that vladimir putin has just repeated on his victory day speech, when he basically says, "we in russia are facing a war with the west, with nato." what lavrov — sergey lavrov, the foreign minister — calls a proxy war. thats the truth of whats happening now, isnt it? my belief is this is what putin and his... ..cabal have brought on. i fully agree t...

The question is what doubling down means and whether you in the united states have prepared the american public properly for the degree to which there is now perhaps a greater danger of an escalating conflict between nuclear superpowers than there has been since i9li5. we live in a very, very dangerous time, and an aggression that was purely started by putins grand design of recreating the greater russia and whether we stand with democratic—elected nations. our failure to do so, and if wed all...

Those folks in that community dont like to share information. so what we... one of the things that was remarkable was early on, putin expected not only to be militarily successful, but actually had ideas that he could launch a coup in ukraine. it was american intelligence leaning forward, saying if a coup happens, its going to be the russians, and then our friends, the british a few days later even identified the individual the russians wanted to put in place. that has really, i think, put putin...

British intel or american intel, you know, by nature those folks in that community dont like to share information. so what we... one of the things that was remarkable was early on, putin expected not only to be militarily successful, but actually had ideas that he could launch a coup in ukraine. it was american intelligence leaning forward, saying if a coup happens, its going to be the russians, and then our friends, the british a few days later even identified the individual the russians wanted...
