that is traditionally how u.s. leaders, leaders around the world have gotten in and out of ukraine on the train in the country, and on a flight out of poland. the other thing that s noteworthy, he was with the u.s. ambassador to ukraine and notably today, ukraine going to be a focus but we should note that the u.s. senate is going to be voting on lynn tracey. thaeps going to be the first female ambassador to russia, replacing john sullivan, her nomination went to the senate in september, they ll be voting on her today. it s significant because this is a day all about the united states standing with ukraine but of course it is noteworthy that the senate is also going to be sending a new ambassador to russia. and the world will be watching. thank you very much kylie atwood. for more perspective, let s bring in retired lieutenant colonel alex vinman and former
the idea is ensure the public is protected and the front row see is the dispatcher. and cases after cases where the failure to train resulted in injury and resulted in death. thaeps that s the problem. in a role like that there is an oath of service when people call who need help that that comes with the territory some extension of comfort, even if you are not able or in a position to fix it right away. but, i mean, she was, you know, in a state of panic which i think everyone could identify with and wasn t able to get an ounce of compassion. even if the woman. it s horrible. couldn t fix it. and the dispatcher is obviously burned out. put her notice in august 9th to end the joen. she burned out had enough. inundated with calls people stranded in floods. the poor victim was unable to immediately her location she is in panic.
of time. i won t say short period of time. because i know how chaotic it gets especially when you have something like this going on. and the other factor that we have to consider, chief ramsey is it s approaching 7:00 p.m. on the east coast. it s not long before it s dark over there. the sun sets. how does that impact all of this if this situation is ongoing. well darkness can help. i mean less visibility for the shooter that s for sure. but, again, they ll be patient. wait as long as they can. if they believe this individual is about to try to attack the officers that are trapped inside that changes the game. so right now the way things are, at least as i understand it to be, they ll wait and come up with a good tactical plan. and, again, they ll try to take this guy alive if they can. i mean, thaeps we don t know if it s guy or guys. we don t know how many people are in there right now. but they ll do everything they can to keep it from, you know, becoming one where they have t
