Forces on the Ukraine Border. 2,000 u. S. Forces will be sent to poland while another 1,000 american troops will be shifted from germany to romania. Republican senators josh hawley calling this a mistake. Well get reaction from Nebraska Republican deb fisher a member of the Senate Armed Services committee. Welcome. Im Charles Payne in for neil cavuto, this is your world. For to Jennifer Griffin at the pentagon with the very latest. Jennifer . Charles, todays announcement is separate from the pentagons announcement last week that 8,500 troops had been given prepare to deploy orders in the event that ney though calls up the 40,000 response force, this is a separate Deployment Order that President Biden authorized to send 3,000 troops to bolster natos eastern flank. Nato will move forces to romania, poland and germany. These are not permanent move. 1,000 troop from a Striker Squadron will be moved to romaine yo to augment the troops there on rotation. 1,700 troops from the 82nd Airborne will go to poland and 300 members of the 318th Airbornes Corps will set up a headquarters in germany, the same place used to oversee the evacuation from afghanistan. Kirby said theres additional troops in the u. S. Now that have been placed on high alert. Do you have any evidence that putin plans to move in to the ukraine . Why are you bolstering these troops if you dont have evidence . Its important that we send a strong signal to putin and to the world that nato matters to the United States and matters to our allies. Why Have Iron Clad article 5 commitments, an attack on one is an attack on all. Leaked u. S. Documents published in spain reveal the u. S. Offered to allow russia to inspect two bases in Eastern Europe where moscow suspects the u. S. Has Tomahawk Missiles for the u. S. To be able to do that in two russians bases. Its not clear if talks are putins goal. New Satellite Images continue to show russia building up its forces along the Ukraine Border backed by tanks, helicopters and war planes. Steve harrigan is in kiev with more. Steve . The new Satellite Images show how the russian position continues to grow along ukraines border to the south, to the east and the north and especially around belarus. U. S. Officials say when it comes to dealing with russias president , they need to keep a range of options open. We dont know what he has in mind or what hes going to do. Here in ukraine, officials are warning that if diplomacy fails, there could be a wider war, a war that could engulf all of europe. When you go around the city here in kiev, you dont see visible preparations for war. When you talk to people in settings like Ice Fishermen on the frozen river, when you talk about what theyre thinking about, many are thinking about a potential war in the very near future. Heres one fisherman. If war comes, we will not run out of the country. We have no place to go. Were not aggressors but defenders and they should think twice about attacking because we will defend our homeland. With putin scheduled to attend the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in beijing this friday, kremlin watchers are thinking the threat of invasion here is going down. Back to you. Missouri Republican Josh Hawley not happy with the president s decision to send troops to Eastern Europe. Take a listen. Its a bad idea. Its a mistake to send more american troops to europe at this time. Its just another Foreign Policy crisis that this administration has blundered into and it wont be the last. So does my next guest agree . Deb fisher is a member of the Armed Services committee. Senator thanks for joining us. Your thoughts on this latest move. Thanks, charles. I think this latest move is a direct result of the indecisiveness of this administration. When you have President Biden showing weakness by grant, putin his wish for nord stream 2, that set the stage for this. As we look ahead at what we need to do to keep europe stable, i think we need to be clear that troops are not going into ukraine. But theyre going in to countries or nato partners to show our commitment to nato and our commitment to security and our commitment to stability of that region. Neil senator, to that point, we play Armchair Quarterback through football season. When things like this come up, too. So when i read an Infantry Squadron sent to romania, it sounds like an offensive move rather than a defensive move. What happens . We know americans dont want to go to war. We dont want any Armed Conflict there. We already made a huge mistake with the main asset that we could have negotiated with. Are we putting troops in harms way needlessly . Of course we never want to do that. Lets remember that nato is a defensive organization. Putin tried to color it that hes taking all of these belligerent moves in the region towards ukraine because he is saying nato is offensive in nature and puts his country in danger. That is not true. If you follow the secretary of defense, minister in the u. K. , his comments that he had recently in parliament, he wrote an oped, highlighting the false narrative that putin has put out there about nato. Lets counter that and be honest. Nato is defensive. The americans that are being sent over by the administration, im sorry that we didnt see sanctions put in place earlier directly on putin, on his Financial Institutions that could have slowed this down, could have stopped it. The troops that are going over, theyre going because of our commitment to nato. Neil is there any chance then with respect to a resolution . We heard an offer was made to inspect bases. Im not sure whether russia would agree to that or not. Is there anything, any sort of last second reprieve possible to avoid Armed Conflict at this point . You always hope that you can solve things through diplomacy. Lets be honest here, putin has been very up front in rejecting what this administration is offering to him. Hes done it with them directly, hes done it through nato. I think its because hes going to test the resolve of the Biden Administration. When you have president obama sending mres and blankets to the ukraine followed by President Trump that sent javelins, to were defensive arms that he sent to ukraine. Then we follow with this administration, with President Biden who looks weak, who looks like he gives in to putin and this is the result you received a briefing today on afghanistan from the defense secretary. You said you left frustrated. Why . I was very frustrated. Usually dont make a lot of comments when i leave briefings or hearings. But this classified briefing did not need to be classified. We spoke about afghanistan. We spoke about ukraine. There was very little that would have been of a classified nature that was brought up. This was a hearing with the two secretaries, with the Armed Services committee as well as the Senate Foreign relations committee. The American People have a right to know on what is going on in afghanistan now, what our posture is there, what we can do, what we should do. The same for ukraine. Instead, they basically demanded that they would be there, but only for closed classified hearing. That is not right. I was frustrated and many of my colleagues were as well.

Sounds like its not the last if you go by the ground hog, punxsutawney phil. Phil predicting six more weeks of winter this morning. To adam clontz on what hes predicting. Its a massive winter storm stretching its way across the country from as far south as texas, everything in blue, that is snow and going to be reaching up to maine. Everything in the pink is ice and everything in front of this very heavy rain. So youre getting all of it here with this system. Winter storm watches, warnings and advisories stretch from texas to vermont where youll see the heaviest snow and up in to maine. Heres your future forecast. The time stamps to your left there. This is a slowmoving storm. Right now taking you to the future till friday morning. You can see not a lot of movement there because it moves so slow. If youre in the path of this a lot of time for all of these Different Things to add up for you. Youre looking at a wide area where youre looking at the pink colors. At the very least, six inches of snow, a lot of areas getting up to a foot of snow. I think worse than the snow for folks, the ones just to the south of this. You start to talk about ice. It takes a lot less ice to do major damage. Getting up to 1 4 inch of ice. That will take down power lines and branches and could mean a lot of power outages. What im concerned for right now, probably some of these Ice Storm Warnings that youre seeing stretching from kentucky to the ohio river valley. Ice is a major concern. Of course well be watching it here the next 48 hours as this rolls its way across the country. Charles thanks, adam. To robert ray in columbus, missouri where the snow is settling in. Robert . Yeah, charles. Take a look at this massive pile of salt behind me. What adam was saying about the ice that could come in. In columbus, ohio, in the capitol of this state, what were going to experience is the trifecta of this Winter Weather storm, charles. Were going to see Freezing Rain, sleet and snow. Temperatures right now hovering about 38 degrees. What will happen, they will drop overnight. That will turn in to that Freezing Rain and sleet tomorrow and a snowy mess here. The next few hours, columbus will deploy dozens of snowplows and Salt Spreaders and come into this silo and bring this out. The reason theyre not out there right now is because its been raining all day, charles. What happens is the salt pushes aside and its not effective at all. You can see this. This is one pile of salt and this is the color of brown where they have beet juice in the salt that dissipates the salt. We wok over here and we see this is the way the salt came out of the mine with this blue color. This stuff is very effective and will be hopefully the answer to this terrible winter storm that will roll in to here tomorrow. They could see the mix, the trifecta of all that this storm will bring. Lets hope that everyone here is ready and stays off the root tonight and into tomorrow, charles. Charles thanks, robert. Meanwhile, more than 4,000 flights already cancelled or delayed today. Grady trimble was at chicagos Ohare Airport with the latest. Grady . Charles, not too busy here at the american terminal. Thats because so many flights have been cancelled across the country. More than 2,100 cancellations today. Another 2,100 flights delayed. Looking at the departures board. Theres more red and yellow than there are ontime flights. At ohare alone, almost 50 flights have been cancelled. About a third of all flights leaving. You can see the snow has stopped. But the culprit is still on the ground here. Similar situation in st. Louis. About 3 4s of all flights were cancelled there. In detroit, about 1 4 of all flights and cancellations are mounting in dallas fort worth, denver, midway, kansas city and houston. That is to say nothing of the roads across the midwest where conditions are just plain slotpy in some cases, down right dangerous in others. Remember, charles, this is a 12 punch of Winter Weather. More on the way tonight and tomorrow. Were seeing 2,500 flights cancelled tomorrow. Charles . Charles what a mess. Lawsuits piling up in virginias battle over masking up.

Were back in 60 seconds. Charles to virginia where a judge is set to make a decision on who has the final say on masking in schools. Mark meredith is in arlington with the very latest. Mark . Good afternoon. Were waiting to see if a judge will rule with Governor Glenn Youngkin or decide if the schools have the final say about when and where masks should be used. We saw the governor of virginia issue an Executive Order in january allowing students and parents to decide over the School System about the masking policies. Weve heard from a number of parents that applauded the governors efforts saying universal masking is putting their kids at a disadvantage. She should not have to wear a mask all day long. How many people are wearing a mask for seven to eight hours all day long . The people that are making these decisions are not having to suffer in these circumstances. Seven districts including many in Northern Virginia think the governor is going too far and putting students and Staffs Health at a disadvantage. We heard from a lawyer representing the school, suing the governor after todays hearing wrapped up. The case has to do with, you know, structural issues about who is going to make decisions and who is in charge and w
