We gave nord stream 2 for nothing. we gave them an extension of a new start of the nuclear arms treaty for number. something that they wanted. vladimir putin decided to put a gun to the head of the west by moving troops to the ukraine and threatening to get to innovate if he couldn't get nato and what arms could be placed in current nato countries. he's developed an appetite for u.s. concessions. the time for appeasement to the russians is over. they're looking at our words carefully and also actionsn't there's three things that we need to do. we need to move the 250 m-1 abram tanks that polan...

Distributed to ukraine fighting units. i'm bombarded with ideas that we should give them patriot missiles for air defense. that would be a two year program to get missiles in there, train them, maintenance programs. none of that is going to happen. they won't end up with m-1 main battle tanks. the time is short. the situation will be probably resolved in under 90 days with russian occupation of much of the country. the cities will be devastated. so i think what we should focus on is the next step. secretary blinken just was in brussels today thank god, both european union meetings and nato. he...

Anti-armor munition, anti-ship missiles, s-300 anti-aircraft missiles. m-1 tanks. can't tell you how much i worship the m-1 tank. >> what's -- not providing them so far, the stuff that you talk about. >> this is gone by phases. phase one he thought he could get in there with a gru and special ops and knock the ukrainian government out of office. that failed. then tank army into battle and stalled on the road. ukrainians beat them there. we went from the u.s. thinking to equip them to realizing to continue. they said they need i think essentially 1,000 or 2,000 missiles a day.

Say, no, no, we can't give this up until you give us m-1 tanks and new self-propelled artillery. or maybe the allies -- maybe we're measuring this in some way saying we don't want to give them too much because we don't want to escalate this so that putin uses a nuclear weapon. but, jake, my view on this is that we've got a window of opportunity here to give the ukrainians exactly what they're asking for. we've got to do it quickly and let them finish the fight with the russians. this is not about stabilizing ukraine. this point it's about getting the russians out entirely. after what we've see...

Immeasurably lower than anything we have seen in the last 20 years. i think the other thing is there's been understandable concern by the president of the united states and his senior officials on escalating the conflict, either horizontally to other nations in eastern europe or, god forbid, nuclear confrontation at a tactical level. now i think the war is at a new phase. you have to have a new mindset. the level of support has been inadequate in terms of giving the ukrainians the qualitative edge. they need m-1 tanks, not ancient p-72s. they need anti-ship missiles. brits, norwegian, the u.s....
