for a long while. >> is that a two way street, the inability to integrate the communities into france? in other words, it's -- i don't know how recent. some are a couple generations, i believe, immigrant populations who maintained their original country of origin identities and cultures and communities but also the french culture, not exactly opening its arms with their sense of cultural superiority in many situations. is it a two-way street that the separation has been maintained? >> that may very well be true and there may well be large elements of french society who don't like to see demographic changes of this scale but the point is, nobody ever asked them. nobody ever asked them whether they wanted to see massive changes in their cities. i'm not making a defense for discrimination. i'm explaining why there's unhappiness on both sides. the real problem i think is religion, that's what this really comes down to and one of the reasons those riots were so

with, seems to be dating back to their colonial era, don't know if it is cultural superiority and france but seems to be unique, distant was from the uk, from germany and the united states, seems to be unique. rachel: our guest said that, things that, the young man by the way it was, algerian dissent. there was that. we keep an eye on this story, things are heating up in france. coming into the tourist season, many of the businesses, people tied to the summer tourist business are really concerned a lot of pressure on emmanuel macron to deal with it quickly. will: big week when it comes to the supreme court of the united states knocking down president biden's student loan forgiveness plan, knocking down affirmative action and upholding free speech in a case in colorado.
statement, assimilation issues in france are different than they are in germany and the uk. why is that? does it date to the colonial era? french cultural superiority? what makes this so unique to france? >> the closest comparison when it comes to colonial issues is the united kingdom. there's been migration in the united kingdom from postcolonial countries like india, but on the other hand in france, the cultural superiority and top-down nature of the french state britain were the first colonial nature of the british state was one of detached involvement, migration that happened in the uk, migrants themselves had a measure of assimilation on their own party. that didn't happen in france. the migration that happened, france gave up on their colonial power, fighting to the last moment. there has been bad blood during the migration crisis, people
result of this aggression. we are militarily, we are economically. the standing in the world has plummeted, is managed to get europe off russian energy. it is managed to strengthen nato, we need to have a new member and a new member on its way. it has managed to alienate virtually all of ukraine and unite the country the same time. across the board, this has been a strategic failure for putin. to the extent that there are now cracks merging internally, that only magnifies the problem he is facing. >> mister secretary, good morning. ukraine's counteroffensive has been a tough slog, presents lewinsky has acknowledged that. because it we can volodymyr putin and a divided russian military help ukraine or does it weaken vladimir putin perhaps, encourage him to be more aggressive and increase the assaults that he has superiority in the air. there's a lot of damage he can do, including of course these operation nuclear power plant. >> the counteroffensive is in
it is just a stage of preparation, of reconnaissance, we were trying to find a weak part of the defence lines. and this counter—offensive is quite unique because we don't have superiority of the sky and we are moving forward even without airjets from the ukrainian side. we are quite successful, because during this small period of time since the start of this counter—offensive, we have already de—occupied 300 square kilometres, which is more than russia occupied during their winter campaign offensive during the last half of the year. the baltic states and poland have said that nato needs to strengthen its eastern flank. yes. that is different from saying that ukraine will at some point bejoining nato. we will see.
>> is the issue the air superiority that the russians have. i mean, the artilleries superiority that they have? >> well what we have heard from troops of the front is that oftentimes when they advance, the russian troops basically run away. the problem is in fact the artillery. the artillery is then unleashed and their gains are nullified. and also yes, they do have air superiority at the front lines. now the russians are very cautious with their use of helicopters for instance. they don't fly them over the ukrainian positions. but they simply have more of them than the ukrainians. and they use that to their maximum advantage, anderson? >> and was there any response in ukraine to what vladimir putin said today? have you heard? >> well we have. in fact, we heard one statement from hallow pontiac who is a
jets last year, f-16s. you know how different that would be on the battlefield if they had that today? the united states doesn't conduct this kind of operation through prepared positions without air support. we don't do it. we establish local superiority to make sure that we have it. the russians are using attack helicopters and fighters against the ukrainians. let's get them is support that they need as soon as we can get it to them. that should be the montra of the administration. not just be there as long as it takes. let's get it done as soon as it takes. get it over soonest. >> martha: i hear you, general. thanks very much. general jack keane. very good to have you with us. thank you. so today we're getting the first look at the 2024 presidential brand new fox power rankings. we'll show you what these early numbers are telling us. we're also watching another
it can't be good. >> no, it certainly isn't, jim. and when you look at morale, that's one those intangibles that is so important in warfare and you compare what the russian military is going through and from that standpoint from the morale standpoint and what the ukrainians are doing. the ukrainians generally speaking have high morale. the russians, on the other hand, low morale based on the anecdotal reports and what we see in terms of performance in the field. so it makes a huge difference even if there is a superiority in weapons systems, numbers, you know, personnel and things like that. it really makes a huge difference. and that's why the russians are having such a hard time, i think, in ukraine. >> and colonel leighton, the kremlin says wagner mercernaries can join russia's military. i mean, does that sound like something that those mercernaries -- arthey may thin it should be the other way around base ontd performance on the battlefield.
