citizens need to be protected, in their view. at the same time, they re refusing the west of warmongering, which is very bizarre. i mean, there is a sort of fundamental logical contradiction here. and it strikes me that part of the play here by the biden administration in the u.s. is, by confidently and explicitly predicting the maximum position, they want to give, you know, if russia goes through with it, and the u.s. is right, the only way to show them up and show the wrong, and that it was western hysteria, is to not do with, in which case i think the u.s. is finally pro, if that means, if it doesn t actually happen. there s also the strange, simon, very serious situation in which the sort of incentives and approach of the u.s. government, the queen in government, are not at all align. because they have different ways of approaching this. the u.s. is taking this kind of maximalist transparency, talking about what they think it s gonna happen. zelensky, the president of ukraine, un
off the eastern part of ukraine with some type of limited military incursion, a full scale invasion, this is not can be good for anybody. including the united states. because his pride and said, is gonna be painful for us on, a number of fronts. former cia director, john brennan, thank you so much for joining us. thank you. much more to come tonight, including the ramifications of the russian invasion. all talk through borders whose work i found indispensable. julie yeah feet and simon, next. julie the bottom line is thie united states and our allies and partners will support the ukrainian people. we ll hold russia accountable for its actions. the west is united and resolved. accountabl accountabl for its the west is united and - wow! - uh-huh. .$0 copays on primary care visits. .and lab tests. - wow. - uh-huh. plus, $0 copays on tier 1 & tier 2 prescription drugs. resolved - uh-huh.
which would give the separate regions in eastern ukraine autonomy, some kind of level of autonomy, and a veto, essentially, on ukraine s ability to enter international organizations like nato. and if he gets that, i think he would back down. but the problem here is, as i see, it was that if ukraine and the western countries will, they re gonna be setting a bad precedent, which would be bad behavior. yeah, the minsk has been one of the demands, although it would mean essentially, you know, allowing part of the country to leave the country, and to your point, sort of capitulate those demands. it s not clear that wood and things, but that has been stated demand at the negotiating table by lavrov and other julia ioffe and simon ostrovsky, thank you both. and this week alone, donald trump was to sit for a deposition. tonight, he lost his bid to block three january six related lawsuits. plus, the latest on those
he doesn t even have to threaten the use of military. that s where the deterring power is. the state department can t really negotiate very strongly when they don t have that option to put on the tylenol. they have is the option of economic sanctions, you also have to have the potential to stick. and the united states just doesn t have that anymore. yes, it s willingly already said explicitly that the u.s. troops will not be involved in this conflict. simon ostrovsky from pbs thank you for your. time thank you for having. the next, why is a fox news host for vladimir putin. how tucker carlson s pro russian rhetoric is finding all amongst republicans in congress. that s after this. al al amongst republicans ingot it. congress and thanks to voya, i m confident about my future. oh dad, the twins are now. .vegan. i know, i got em some of those plant burgers. - nice! - yeah.
