Why We Have to Support the Fight in Ukraine
"Former ambassador and national security adviser, Robert O'Brien, appeared on Fox with Mark McCallum yesterday to explain the American interest in the war in Ukraine. It's the best summary I found anywhere cut number 7. Well, Martha, here's what we've seen happen. The Chinese humiliated us with a track across the United States over multiple days with a spy balloon. And it stopped and lingered over our nuclear sites, our silos is soft and lingered over our the second leg of our triad, our air force bases with nuclear capable bombers. And then to stop by our sub pens to see what was going on with our submarine force. So it was an embarrassment. And that balloon should have been taken down forthwith as soon as we found out about it, probably as an Internet American waters. The Chinese got away with it. And the only consequence is that Tony blinken instead of meeting with his foreign counterpart in China in Beijing, he met with weighing in Berlin. All right, Munich. In Germany. So what was the consequence of the Chinese? So any wonder that they think they can get away with supply and lethal weapons to the Russians for their fight against Ukraine. And by the way, general Kellogg was absolutely right. We've got to win this thing in Ukraine and it's in America's interest to win it because China and Russia are unlimited partners. And if we can use the Ukrainians to totally degrade the Russian army, and show that we can win one of these wars, that will deter Xi Jinping from invading Taiwan. So this is a very important fight in Ukraine, and it has serious implications with our relationship with China and what happens in Taiwan.

"John trout, this is America in the morning. The U.S. is now sending its top of the line tanks to Ukraine and their fight against the Kremlin. Correspondent Linda kenyon has the story from Washington. I'm announcing the United States and the 31 Abram tanks Ukraine. The announcement is viewed as a major reversal for President Biden, who previously said the tanks would be of little benefit to Ukraine, and that Russia would view U.S. assistance in this fashion as an escalation of the war. The president says the decision to send the tanks follows the wise counsel of defense secretary Lloyd Austin. Secretary Austin has recommended to step because the one hand the things capacity and finished territory achieved strategic objectives. Those objectives include helping Ukraine regain some of the territory seized by Russia. Beefing up Ukraine's readiness in advance of what is expected to be a Russian surge in the spring, and protecting the Ukrainian people. On social media, Kyiv mayor vitali Klitschko said all of the above are true. Ukraine defense itself, the debate about the less offensive weapons is absorbed with defend ourselves against the Russian army, and we want our country back. And the mayor said Ukraine can not wait any longer. German and other states must not make the same mistake. The mere year ago when arms were delivered way too late. And Russia was able to conquer and destroy many territories at the beginning of the war. Mentions Germany, which has agreed to send leopard tanks to Ukraine. Leprechauns not only mean better firepower, but also more protection for soldiers. The 31 M1 Abrams tanks the U.S. is sending could take months to reach the battlefield, training of Ukrainian forces to operate and maintain those tanks are expected to take place outside of Ukraine. Republican senator Tom cotton on Fox News says the U.S. should have acted much sooner. So welcome decision that President Biden and Germany have decided to finally provide these tanks to Ukraine, but it's long overdue. And senator cotton says maybe the course of the war would have been much different if the U.S. had acted sooner, to which the president responds. We are united Americas united and so is the world. Linda kenyon, Washington. 21 before the hour on America in the morning for the past two years inflation has ravaged the economy and destroyed the standard of living for many everyday Americans. That is the assertion of Jenny Beth Martin, honorary chairman of Tea Party, patriots, action. Out of control government spending, a major factor of inflation, Jenny Beth. Absolutely, I think it's one of the most important and biggest contributing factors to inflation when the government is spending money and flooding the market with more money. It winds up devaluing the cost of the dollar and that causes inflation. The White House wants Congress to raise the debt ceiling without implementing spending cuts, but Republicans now in the house have signaled they will use the debt ceiling issue to negotiate more spending cuts. Where do you see this going? We absolutely should be using the dead ceiling vote as a leverage to get spending cuts. And I think that this will wind up being a political battle. The White House has already indicated they don't intend to cut anything, but the fact of the matter is the American people voted in November. They gave the house to representatives to the Republicans to control. And one of the biggest reasons they did that is because they are concerned about inflation. So it is the Republicans are actually doing the job. They committed viewing when they were elected. And we are in a situation where we're able to divided governments, but in divided government, you have to be able to work with the people who have the majority in the opposing chamber and other sides of the government. So The White House and the Senate Democrats are going to have to negotiate with Republicans. We're speaking with Jenny Beth Martin honore chairman

"Pay for them to use it. And now once The Pentagon to take over the payments, well, that's raising a lot of questions this morning, according to WTO national security correspondent JJ green. Elon Musk started a big controversy weeks ago when he suggested Ukraine just give Russia the Crimea and stop the war. Needless to say that infuriated Ukraine's leaders. And many people around the world and they used these Ukrainian leaders some very strong language to tell Musk what they thought of it. So Ukraine depends on their Sterling system for battlefield communications and targeting accuracy. But recently, they started noticing some outages in critical locations. And the question came up was this deliberately done. Now, Musk wants to Pentagon to pay for this service, which, as you said, was initially offered free of charge. Months ago, Mikhail podolak, an adviser to Ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky. However, his defending mosque saying like it or not, Elon Musk helped us survive the most critical moments of the war, and he said business has a right to its own strategies. But The Pentagon says they are communicating with SpaceX, but there are some other satellite communications options. JJ, because of battlefield losses and people literally fleeing the Russian army of Vladimir Putin has said he's mobilizing troops and it's going to end soon. They've got what like a couple 100,000 people now to go fight. Nonetheless, there's word it's not going well. That's right. Within ten days of reporting to duty, many of these men are on the front line and many of them are dying almost immediately. Reports of mobilized soldiers dying in Ukraine include people from lawyers to sanitation workers from distant outpost, even current and former Moscow officials. Now, these reports have emerged with increasing speed in the last week. This indicates these new soldiers have been flung into battle without even minimal training because this call up started in late September. Here's a case in point. Three men, 32, 40, 42 from Siberia. They all died in Ukraine

"To zelensky, he went on to say what happened in hack you that was just retaliation from the fact that Russian troops had to pull out this was an embarrassment of four Russian soldiers for the Russian army so they had to make sure they wanted to come back strong with a signal and that was to go full black out on the city, but in reality when it comes to the tactics, it really doesn't change much because the impact, and this is horrible to see, but is limited to civilians. Maria turning to another story that you've been covering for us. We should get more information on the EU's energy plan or the underlying going to lay that out in her State of the Union speech, but we have details of what likely to be proposed. Well, we have some details. This is finally an anticipation of that speech tomorrow by Arizona von der leyen. You know, the State of the Union usually we normally don't pay a lot of attention. I think the last time I was in Strasbourg for this, it was probably three years ago about Brexit, if you remember, the B word. I think this year, though, it is very important because she will lay out the executive action to what could be a winter of demand destruction, making that voluntary to mandatory now, which I wonder, how is that going to be implemented? Will this be the commission working with big buyers of energy? Will it be with big companies? Because I just don't see how you can monitor the people and their house turn of the heating. I just don't see how the practicalities of that can work. And then the other thing is taxation, you know, they will call it a solidarity contribution to a cold winter, but ultimately you're looking at something that looks like a price cap on revenues and a Winfield tax on the fossil fuel industries and power generators that use other sources that are not gas.

"Schools will not take effect until July of next year That's the latest I'm Julie Ryan Welcome back to Bloomberg opinion listeners As Russia's war in Ukraine passes its 50 day Mark I spoke with Ukrainian philosopher and chief editor of Ukraine world To consider questions of Ukrainian identity and how it's changing as Ukrainians witness atrocities unthinkable just two months ago Also the very difficult questions that will face Ukraine in a future post war period Volodymyr how do Ukrainians consider Russians these days the 144 million people not Russia the country are they aggressors victims friends and family neighbors Most Ukrainians are saying that there is a kind of wool which is very difficult to get through because it seems that a big number of Russian support this war and don't really want to hear about the suffering produced by the Russian army And this is very difficult to understand of course So the increasing adjective to Russians is anger height very often and understandably so And Putin volodymyr if he were to be removed by his own people or an outside force would Russia look different Not sure not sure it will look different obviously the problem is not only putting it himself and if there is a replacement for somebody else most probably will have the same personality or even worse personality Although it's difficult to imagine worse So Ukrainians do not have any illusion with regard to this We understand that Russia in its current form is seeing itself as a wounded empire which tries to regain what it understands its past glory and conquering Ukraine or even annihilating Ukraine Ukrainians independents And Ukrainian self consciousness is one of the key elements for restoring this empire So for us it's a real existential fight We understand that Russians want to conquer these territories and have the Ukraine without Ukrainians You wrote a thread attempting to put into words why Russians hate and dehumanize Ukrainians so much It's producing a lot of cognitive dissonance that Russia wants Ukraine to sort of come back into the cradle and at the same time there is so much hatred directed at Ukrainians I think we have to understand that Russia is not a nation It's an empire So an illusion that sometimes you see it in America in Europe is to consider Russian Federation as a kind of a nation state where for example there are Russians living with certain homogeneity ethnic cultural linguistic et cetera It's not the case especially a continental empire which conquered so many different ethnicities which has its colonies inside its body So it also considered Ukrainians and revolutions as part of this kind of imperial body And when it for example sees Ukrainians saying that now look we are not Russians We are different nations with different organizations of society culture language et cetera This produces very difficult feeling in Russia because it believes that Ukrainians and Belarusians and Russians is the same construct the same nation and every deviation from this Russian nation as they say is an example of Nazis So I think that they are lagging behind in developing their own national identity They are concept of empire means that in part doesn't have borders in pi is always expanding Ukrainians develop this idea that well this is our land We have certain borders We don't want to go any farther this borders but here inside our borders we organize our society in the way we like And we don't want to expand anywhere And so Vladimir when people talk about a Soviet identity as a Ukrainian what does that make you think Is that relevant to the current Ukraine Well in Ukraine obviously there are people who have some kind of nostalgia about Soviet Union But much less than in Russia Russia really developed a political project of coming back to this glorious Soviet past Ukrainian political imagination is not centered on the past It centered on the future For Ukrainians to pass is a very traumatic thing So basically Russian slogan was we can do it again meaning the victory in the Second World War our major slogan is never again which is kind of a slowdown and also come up with Europeans Why Russians are developing this idea of ruskin Russian world It's also an artificial construct to replace this idea of Soviet people There is a kind of artificial invention in which every particular group will be just assimilated into some kind of utopian Soviet people which is very much artificial Let's talk about NATO for a second Do Ukrainians accept that Ukraine can not be at least as the world is now part of NATO Well public opinion polls show support of NATO membership is very high It has never been as high as now over 70 80% But at the same time what is NATO NATO is a security guarantee And Ukrainians do need these because they are living with such a monster neighbor We understand that NATO is composed of many different countries and you need consensus to get Ukraine into nature Maybe it's better to have bilateral security agreements with United States with United Kingdom with Poland The second thing is that Ukrainian army can be very efficient And in a way Ukraine can turn into kind of a security provider not only security recipient For other countries So I imagine for example Ukraine in the future to be a kind of a country which will share its military and security experience with other countries of the world Maybe with NATO members Do Ukrainians understand why Vladimir Putin might feel threatened by NATO No Ukrainians don't understand it So we just look at the map of Russia and we can't understand how Russia can be encircled as they say or fear the attack of NATO or whatever But the problem of Putin is that he creates a reality which he constructs in his imagination So he's propaganda was saying that Russia is not waging war with Ukraine on Ukrainian territory.

"Belarus the Kazakhstan Putin has tried and the only way he sees fit to rebuild Russia brick by brick and Ukraine is the biggest brick He believes he had to take it Russia was becoming restless descents were being arrested dissidents that is and foreigners were dismissing it Strategy and power forced him to act But the problem was that his instrument of action the Russian army was as ineffective as Russia itself This had not always been the case as brutal as military service could be there was a certain pride in it The Russian army today seems disorganized unimaginative and uninspired They deployment of force preparation of logistics and command of the battlefields on all levels simply wasn't there There was a different sort of Russian army a bureaucratized one one more afraid of the Tsar than of losing to the enemy Putin demanded a rapid defeating the enemy but to rule by strength you must see clearly and strike decisively at the center of gravity Ukraine had no center of gravity only a widely dispersed lice infant light infantry force that provided no single point to destroy although that may seem like guerrilla warfare is not And Ukraine's surprised at centimeter with resilience and unpredictability The attacker can respond with brutal attacks on the population but that leaves the Ukrainians with no choice but to fight The Russian army wasn't designed for this war hadn't planned for this war And it's only brutal counter civilian action to take and Putin will take it The problem is that Putin can not stop Nor can he reach an agreement with Ukraine that he will keep This is the key that I wanted to focus on Every deal except for surrender by the enemy is a revelation of weakness On the part of a weak country in a weak ruler the only alternatives are ineffective action because the force he sent to war was the wrong force from a country that didn't have the right one Now he can reach a genuine ceasefire but if he does he's finished Not being able to defeat the Ukrainians and held in contempt by others destroys the myth of his power Continuing the war endlessly reveals the same thing As this goes on Putin's primary task is to pretend that the defeat is not happening because anything less than victory is a defeat Every agreement must send him betrayal and as it happens with guerrillas they get stronger and longer the war drags on The crucial question is whether Russia has strategic reserves the army has been in the field for over a month And whether that's still cold at the end of a logistical line that is problematic It's been fighting a highly motivated mobile light infantry force familiar with the terrain You can not go on indefinitely Russia has to rotate its forces Strategically it must send more instead its executing a bloody withdrawal You don't fight for the same ground twice unless you have to This means that Putin's war playing a shattered the resistance has been effective in his troops need a relief he can not provide Putin will faint faint in other directions perhaps in the Baltics or Moldova But he lacks the force to fight on another front He can't sustain this war easily especially in the face of NATO soldiers who so far stayed out of the fray Even so he says I can not predict what a leader will do in the end but for now it's clear to me Putin will cling to power and blame everyone around him But every day the war goes on Putin gets weaker Ukraine should not be able to resist NATO should not be united American economic warfare should not be so powerful Putin is growing more desperate He has mumbled about nuclear weapons the sign of utmost desperation but he knows he and anyone he may love will dine a nuclear exchange Even if he's prepared to commit suicide rather than capitulate He knows that in order to launch he must go through several hands and each of those hands knows that the counter strike will kill their loved ones Therein lies the weakness of nuclear war Retaliating is one thing initiating is another Putin trusts view people and he doesn't know how reliable anyone would be in this situation Nor what the Americans might do if they saw preparation for a Russian launch It's important point Putin gives up his position he is compromised and perhaps lost The buzzards are circulating So he must continue to fight until he's forced out and someone else not responsible for the disaster it takes over and blames it all on Putin I think that this can't end until Putin is pulled from the game Hello hello That's been my point too Oh there can be some deal but Putin won't honor it Says obviously a moving here away from geopolitical analysis into the political the former tries to minimize individual influence while the latter emphasizes it That gives my forecast an inevitable imprecision by given that situation on the ground and given Russian internal dynamics It does seem that all the forces coming to baron Putin dictate a certain direction The war will end but the war is evolving in a way that creates unique pressures when the Russian political system Because of the nature of the system the pressure pivots onto Putin Now this is not the only outcome Ukraine might collapse Russia might collapse The Russian army may devise a strategy to win the war A settlement that is respected might be reach all of these are possible but I don't see much movement in any of these directions A political end is what I would bet on with the Russians taking the short end of the stick And I wouldn't have thought this one the first day of the war but I think this is likely the shape of the last day I think it's certainly possible And I don't think this can come to a real legitimate end a lasting end.

Cully Stimson: Putin Will Forever Be Branded a War Criminal
"What do you attribute that to I have heard of various explanations grift corruption and the Russian military people stealing equipment old equipment poor training what do you primarily attribute that to Well you know I served in the navy jag corps for 30 years and just retired this year But I was not a war fighter I was a lawyer of two war fighters but my analysis is based on listening to people who are war fighters and who I respect And I think not only the things that you mentioned are factors in it But they're just not good at combined armed operations I think that was a surprise to the season hands at The Pentagon and retired military analysts that you would think that they would have perfected coordinating air land and personnel moves in coordinated operations even through multiple entry points But they weren't And God bless the Ukrainians and their love of country and their desire to defend their country and of course we've played our part we can debate whether we played enough of a pardon providing them arms And so is NATO But they have just not Putin's folks have not lived up to what we thought was the big bad Russian army And so they were creating they're probably pointing their attentions now towards the eastern Donbass region from all written reports I don't think that means they're given up on Keith and the rest of it And of course they're clearly engaged in a war crimes by indiscriminately killing civilians targeting children women hospitals And so however this thing ends Putin and his ilk will forever be branded a war criminal And that's people can't forget that

"For more we turn now to retired army lieutenant general Mark Hartley A national security and military analyst for CNN telling WTO P this morning he does not believe the Russian military will be able to capture Kyiv and will face he says stiff resistance from Ukrainian fighters both military and civilian Yeah I think you're going to see actually not just around keefe but also around several other cities and around the border regions You're going to see a continuous effort by Ukrainian forces to counter any Russian activity In my view there are very good fighters They have a will to fight because they have a revamped and evolved force from the first time I saw them and 2004 very different than the Russian force which I as I pointed out in some of my writings is not as good as some people make it out to be And I also think primarily they have a just cause They have a country that is behind them a country that understands freedom and they have the desire to fight for it President zelensky is increasingly appearing like an extremely inspirational president a wartime president And both when you're a military force and you have the support of the government and the support of the population and a cause that you're feeling is right and that you want to fight for It's very difficult to dislodge those kind of feelings from an organization like a Ukrainian army We are keeping in touch with an older gentleman a retired journalist who is in Kyiv now fighting for his ancestral homeland He says he has no military experience but went to a police station and was handed an AK-74 rifle What do you make of that tactic to arm people that perhaps have never fired a gun in their lives It's sort of like the movie red dawn isn't it when government officials are handing out AK-47s or other type of weapons to civilians and saying make your own molotov cocktails how ironic is that in a fight against Russia It tells me that when people are stepping up and saying that they will do those things that there is a common cause amongst the population President zelensky asked people from the ages of 18 to 60 to be prepared to fight for the country and surprisingly they're doing just that So I think that speaks volumes about the potential for at least either an insurgency or a guerrilla war against any kind of attempted occupation by an illegal group of Russians by the direction of president Putin You know I spent a good part of my career in Europe in my last couple of tours I worked with Ukrainian army and also saw demonstrations conduct an exercises conducted by the Russian army We've got to stop believing that the Russian army is ten feet tall I've heard many journalists say what a first rate military they are They're not We have seen that multiple times in the way they act in combat and in peacetime And I just believe that the Ukrainian army has evolved over the last two decades to be a very patriotic and terrific.

Rep. Mike Waltz Shares His Concerns Over Ukraine and Biden
"What concerns you right now with what you're getting and what you're seeing out of the Biden? Yeah, so I just went out to Ukraine about a month ago and bipartisan congressional delegation and the frustration amongst the Ukrainians amongst our trainers. We actually have Florida National Guard and some special operations forces there doing some training, small numbers. And in the embassy itself, the frustration with a Biden administration, the indecision, the inaction, how slowly they were moving with the Ukrainians requests. And the whole tone and tenor coming from The White House was, we don't want to do anything to provoke Putin. We don't want to we want to instigate that Ukrainians were asking for stingers for surface air missiles for anti ship missiles. And I want to be clear to everybody listening, the Ukrainians are ready to do the fighting. Nobody's advocating for divisions of U.S. boots on the ground. The Ukrainians are ready to do the fighting, but they're asking for help against this monster Russian army coming over the horizon atom. And once again, you've got a concessions first, you know, America last kind of policy coming from, you know, don't shake the boat and if we're just nice enough to our adversaries, they'll be nice back. Well, you and I know that's exactly what provokes dictators. And when they smell that weakness, they smell opportunity. So it's no surprise that Putin is doing this now. He got away with it under the Obama administration. He thinks he can get away with it again. And why should Americans care? Well, Putin is marching towards recreating and reimagining the old Soviet Union to challenge the United States on the global stage side by side with China

"The entrance of a bunch of socialist into the ministry and the endorsement of the coalition government by the soviet seemed to signal that the fragile period of dual power was drawing to a close the liberal and socialist wings of the revolution appeared to be combining under the banner of revolutionary unity. The man who most personally exemplified this new spirit of unity was alexander kerensky who had carved out a space for himself in both camps and was now serving as minister of war in the spring of nineteen seventeen. He was probably the single most energetically influential leader in russia. Today he will embark on an audacious plan he believes will permanently solidify. The gains of february rallied. The empire back to patriotic health and launch a new russia portugal aureus future in the spring of nineteen seventeen. The russian army would launch a major offensive to prove to themselves and to the world the revolution had not weakened russia but instead infused her with a mighty power as kerensky took over as minister of war in the first week of may nineteen seventeen the long and frozen winter approached the spring thaw and the question of how the february revolution would impact the war. Now had to be answered as we discussed last week now ex foreign minister pavel melia cough. Believe most of the anti czarist revolutionary energy that had been building since nineteen fifteen was driven by the catastrophic mismanagement of the war. And though melia cough let this analysis take him to the unsupported conclusion that there was nothing wrong with the composition of the army or the objectives of the war. Just its management. He was far from the only one who believed better run. War was meant to be one of the principal. results of the revolution. Kerensky himself was committed to the same idea but he believed the revolution would do far more than just shuffled around a few ministers and generals in kerensky view. The revolution had changed the very nature of the russian military. Infusing it with the new patriotic and democratic spirit that would propel it to glorious victory. Victory not on behalf of mir imperialist greed or territorial ambition but in the name of global freedom and global peace
