Help advise and train ukrainian. and, it would bring a heck of a lot of combat enablers, intelligence, logistics. even at times airstrikes as necessary would be a part of that. and then, strategically, russia has shown a number of weaknesses. it is time to push other nations that are currently under the thumb of russia. such as kazakhstan week, such as armenia. such as georgia. we to rebel against russia s foot on their countries. again, this will cause more dilemmas for putin. and of course, urging the russian people to change their government, ideally, legally. major general petard, do appreciate you being with us. thank you so much for your analysis this morning. russian vladimir putin doing something that he hasn t done since is a vision of ukraine began. we re gonna have some details next. and, president biden today ....
Operations forces as advisers who also bring in intelligence capability, drones and other combat enablers. forgive me forgive me for interrupting, sir, but that would be special operations forces, you mean within the borders of ukraine, so that would be either u.s. or nato boots on the ground, which the political leadership to this point has said no. yes. the political leadership has been intimidated by president putin on the threat of nuclear weapons. but we ve already heard from russia. they ve said they re not going to use nuclear weapons unless russia is threatened, russia itself. so right now nato and the u.s. are intimidated by that. it is time for the u.s. and nato to step up. there s other things the u.s. can do. one is to establish with the ukrainian government a coordination for assistance for ....
Invasion, too, and object we h have, obviously, we havet satellite images and images that putin wants us to see. do you see this as imminent and inevitable? i do. what you have in place is all the necessary combat enablers, is what we call those, in order to conduct an invasion. they are positioned. they have been there for a while. most importantly, what you see over the past few weeks is you have seen an increase in the number of rocket and artillery forces. look, let s be frank. this is a russian formation, but these are soviet-like tactics and the soviets went to war with an overwhelming amount of artillery fire. you mentioned it upfront. those rocket forces certainly can reach kyiv. what i see is the possibility of an invasion is imminent. we could label that in terms of days or weeks, but they are in place. and the ability to transition from the position that they have right now, the training that they are doing to maintain those skill sets and then to launch, ....
Of the invasion of iraq. we re seeing the uncoiling of the combat forces, the positioning of rocket and missile and air and other combat enablers as well as most importantly logistics. it s really logistics that will keep this invasion going without false as they get into deep ukraine if that order is given. so again, having seen that, and also knowing how difficult it is once you do in fact own a country, occupy a country, how difficult it can be if they start to generate an insurgency, extract extremist forces. he has to be reflecting on the soviet experience in afghanistan and wondering would this be as painful as that was. will the west inflict so much damage on the russian economy, would the west support the ukrainian forces that continue to fight on. just after munich, i met with ....
Intelligence, all of the combat enablers necessary to provide osama bin laden to the american people, and cut the head off of that al qaeda snake and we go over to iraq to do what we did there, that was a strategic error, in my opinion. i said it back then, and i ll say it again. i was a commander in the 101st airborne at the time. told i was going to afghanistan and then got told i was going to iraq and i said, what for? and so this dates, mccain is right, this dates all the way back to the 01, 02 time frame where we made some very bad strategic assumptions and it continued through the obama administration and i think what president trump is trying to do is hopefully get it right, and we either need, as barbara said, either fully get out or fully get in, but right now, we re at the, you know, 9,000 or 10,000 troops and if we get out, we have to understand that sort of the law of unintended ....
