intelligence that's beenoge gon, let's be frank, that will give the ukrainians great advantage to take the fight to the russians and to really completely wrest the initiative away from the russians and set the tone of the engagement. >> the donbas is much different geographically than the area north and west of kyiv with more open landscapes. who has the edge in that kind of territory, general? >> well, the russians have the tanks and they have the numbers. this is classic tank battle. kharkiv was one of the most fought over cities in world war ii when the nazis were coming in and the russians were coming through in world war ii. however, the ukrainians this is their home turf, so it's a home game for them. they've got familiarity with what this terrain provides in terms of advantages to them. so if the ukrainians can bring forward tanks that they have, the t72 tanks, many they've
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,
arrived. that's the politics though. lett talk about the potential, i suppose, more substantial result of all of this. you have court and legal investigations in atlanta and elsewhere, as businesses, attempts to interfere with the election. with the january 6-th committee, if they bring this all together, they have witnesses to corroborate further trump's efforts to overturn the election in a whole host of ways, let's be frank. executive orders being one part of that. what's the result? the senate already tried him and missed an opportunity. didn't have the votes to bar him from running again. so what's the end result beyond a potential political outcome of the january 6th committee investigation? >> it's a great question. remember, mitch mcconnell, the most, probably the most important speech during impeachment was his speech when he said i'm not going to vote to indict, or sorry, to convict, but he suggested this isn't the
here in kharkiv the atmosphere is almost one of total relaxation. retired army general james spider marks. ukraine surrounded on three sides by russian forces. explain the significance there. >> yeah. well, what we see clearly is deployments of russian forces in crimea. remember, they took that back in 2014, forces along here, which are not normally deployed in this location. these are not installations that would routinely house these forces. most of these forces have come from other forces in russia. and also what's significant is this deployment of forces into belarus. let's be frank, belarus is a vastless state of russia right now and will do what putin wants. when you take a step back, from putin's perspective, what is instigating this what took place the last 15 years, the expansion of nato, which is what he does
the biden administration is handling is this so far? >> i think they have handled it as well as they could. they offered diplomacy. they 5u6rdoffered to sit down a talk with russia about the security. they threatened massive sanc sanctions. there's not too much else we can do. clearly american soldiers are not going to fight russian soldiers. we're both super powers. we can't get into a war with russia and we have never actually been at war with russia. >> let's talk about ukraine as it pertains to nato. because russia wants a guarantee that ukraine will never join nato. a top diplomat put that out there. that cat is out of the bag. the possibility is out there. what do you make of that? . >> well, i mean, the truth is ukrainian membership is not on the table now. there is a promise made in 2008 that one day ukraine will join
it because i love analyzing it. 55% say they dread it. on the republican side, however, a lot of enthusiasm ahead of 2024. they can't wait. 81%. >> love doctor, let's talk about valentine's day here. >> yes. >> let's talk about valentine's day cards >> this number surprised me. because my mother is always in my inbox, did you get a card for so-a so-and-so? does your partner usually give you a card on valentine's day? among those with a partner, 55% overall. 41% in my age bracket. whatever age bracket you're in, my age bracket is sucking at love. come on. let's do letter than this, folks. >> by the way, i'm nowhere near 55.
reiterate this message. we are in the third world war, which is the new type of proxy war. >> yes, but mr. prime minister, the difference is -- i mean, everything that you have laid out there, yes, makes sense, except for nuclear. that's the difference. and so -- >> absolutely. >> and so nato is trying to prevent the nuclear option. >> well, you know, putin, he's unhinged. he's maybe completely or partly crazy. but i don't believe that putin is ready to launch nuclear arsenal. and look, let's be frank. nato, the u.s., the eu, i mean, the alliance is very, very strong, much stronger than russia and china together. so, we don't have to fear putin. the stronger we are, the bolder we are, the more chances for the
