Asking a great question. what is the indication and warning of a russian attack? launching a ground invasion over the border is absurd. we are watching it carefully. when that ground thaws, that's going to make it that much harder for their battalion tactical group to move over the lines. we want to see what their naval forces are doing and we want to see what their artillery units are doing. we want to understand what electronic warfare elements are being put in place potential jamming and other propaganda activities. there is a whole sweep of indications and warning. if there is this quote o...

Put in does not like biden, he doesn't trust biden, no confidence in biden. looks at him as a weak commander in chief and using that to kind of divide nato, i said a couple weeks ago was his prime effort. i think he's ready to go. he has the forces to do what he wants to do, it's all up to him. >> sandra: that is a big prediction. general jack keane had a bit of a different thought on the timing of this. and did hinge with putin and the olympics. >> olympics end on the 20th, we have about a month or so with favorable conditions to support heavy armor operations. does not mean they cannot do it...
