Everything that they are trained for — there is no point in giving them weapon systems that will take time to learn so we have given them everything we can. the problem for ukraine is that these weapons have been used in an excellent defensive structure, but can it be sustained? do they have sustainment? it isntjust the weapon systems, it is the flesh and blood and guts of people prepared to back them up. which i suppose begs the question, at what point are we risking escalation from russia an...

These long-range strikes need to become standard for the ukrainians. they need to put pressure on the russians in what the russians think is a sanctuary. in russia they do what they want, they can assemble their forces, refit, refuel with a certain degree of impunity, but if they can be struck as a matter of routine and unpredictably by the ukrainians. simultaneously the ukrainians can go out into the black sea with good planning, the right capabilities, they can go after the russian naval capab...

There something else? >> what youre describing is clearly a battle of annihilation. the strategy is to subjugate ukraine. the tactics that theyre using are these indiscriminate dumb weapon systems that are not guided and theyre going against civilian targets primarily because as weve seen when the ukrainians engage with russia forces, the russia forces get slaughtered. theyre poorly led. they dont know what theyre doing. theyve been exposed for being inept, but they have modern equipment and a l...

Systemic solution, not a short-term one. what do you make of that argument and that assessment? >> well, i think its remarkable just listening to courtney detail the movement of one patriot. its hard for me to remember any conflict that weve covered at the pentagon, courtney and i for all these years where they talked about individual weapon systems, one patriot here, a certain number of javelin and missiles here. it just underscores the importance of how delicate western aid into ukraine is and...
