for the program back in the box then we will do the deal because we believe it is in the american national securitynterest to do so but not until it meets those objectives. >> [inaudible] >> i will not get ahead of an announcement that will be filled out the president has the opportunity to speak about the further packages sanctions but one of the key elements of that announcement a focus not just on new sanctions but ensuring there is joint to crack down on any attempt by any country to help russia basically undermine her weekend i get around the sanctions we have applied an enormous amount of economic pressure to sustain and escalate that pressure over time that's about new designations and targets but also effective enforcement and applying the lessons we have learned from other circumstances where we have in fact postings is on countries. so stay tune for that. on the question of us troops, we don't have them currently training ukrainians were on the territory of ukraine of course we do have them defending nato territory providing insurance to the allies deterring russian aggression. not just t

out of the box when he left in 2018, we will do that dealbecause we believe it is in the american national security interest to do so but we will not do that until it makes the objective . >>. [inaudible] >> as for the first question i'm not going to get ahead of an announcementwhich will be rolled out in conjunction with our allies on thursday and the president has the opportunity to speak . what i will say is that one of the key elements of that announcement will focus not just on adding new sanctions but on ensuring that there's joint efforts to crack down on sanctions busting and on any attempt by any country to help russia basically undermine and weaken or get around the sanctions. that is an important part of this next phase. we've applied an enormous amount of economic pressure and in order to sustain and escalate that pressure over time part of that is about new designations , new targets but a big part of it is about force evasion, applying the lessons we've learned from other circumstances where we have in fact imposed sanctions on countries so stay tuned for that. on the question of us t

that god created war so that americans would learn geography and few use officials have done more to put that into practice than my guest today. former us national security advisor and former us ambassador to the united nations. john bolton has supported all recent american lab wars. he's absolutely appalled by russia's actions in ukraine. why is that with a situation, forces can overwhelm, can dominate even the best of us. ordinary people put in a bad evil environment can become transformed to become part of that negative environment. and it's any of us, or in fact, most of us the office of naval intelligence, it was a pretty consistent cut out front for cia. they funded much of this research and i don't know if there was a yield that they, they produce a yield for this cruel science. i don't let's, it's maybe i'm wrong. i just don't think they do it might play out spectacularly in the military. so the connections would be much further down the road. it would be particularly in the iraq war and in the setting up of get mo and all of that. and by the time you get to 2001, it's already this cultural artifact. and so it is going to be picked up by by anyon

i think it's an incredible marriage of a need for veterans to be continuing to improve american national security, and a need for america to develop a nationally secure food system. so marrying those two together is just an unbelievably brilliant double solution to two very disparate problems. >> the vets that are coming back turning their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, they are showing us, along with many others, that it isossible to create a fair food system. and they're doing it. >> i really see in these veterans not just farmers but leaders of the farmers, leaders of this next generation of farmers. they're articulate, they're focused, they're extremely entrepreneurial. they've taken on the military, and they're taking on agriculture. they're taking on the two hardest things in our siety, an they're not even 30 years old. hey' amazing young men and women. >> i'm in such a better mood. i feel as though i have a goal. there's light at the end of the tunnel. i've come to the conclusion that that's exactly it. 've sort of found some peace and contentment, andt's been

american national security interests in the region and beyond. america has an abiding interest in stemming russian expansionism and resisting any nation's efforts to remake the map of europe by dint of military force, even as we have tens of thousands of troops stationed there. moreover, as one witness put it during our impeachment inquiry, the united states age ukraine, and her people so that we can fight russia over there. and we don't have to fight russia here. there's nothing particularly new about the idea of getting russia bogged down in a long term proxy conflict in a country along its borders. that concept goes back to late, cold war geo political strategist, big new brzezinski. it's the major cities, say clark, of se kia were to resist and street fighting became a necessity. it would be prolonged and costly. and the fact of the matter is, and this is where the timing of this whole crisis is important. russia is not yet ready to undertake that kind of an effort. brzezinski also made some interesting predictions about ukraine. he said they will never join nato. rodzinski also bragge

one of its senior supplements was in rome today meeting the american national security adviser.ace economic penalties if they russian military equipment. there are unconfirmed media reports suggesting it was ready to do so. china has accused the us are spreading fake news. forthe accused the us are spreading fake news. for the optimism from the talks few people take them at face value. the prime minister continued to talk to allies in downing street about how best to support ukraine and he will be talking soon to saudi arabia about what it can do to lower the price of oil. this afternoon borisjohnson met his latvian counterpart and will meet more northern european leaders this evening. the focus on how to beef up defences against russia. and all the while amid the diplomacy, the fighting in ukraine continues and people on the ground pay the price. james landale, bbc news. in a moment, we will talk to our correspondents nomia iqbal in washington and steve mcdonnel in beijing. but first, we can talk to our russia editor, steve rosenberg, who's in yaroslav, in the west of the count

so would present this as a clear and imminent danger to american national security. and it would absolutely invade mexico and topple the government and take over because there is no way the united states government would tolerate anything but a completely compliant regime directly on its border. that is a key to us national security is knowing that it has a 2 large oceans and 2 friendly allied countries on its 2 major borders. right, ted rall, american political cartoonist, i was interesting to hear thoughts and you have the job of bringing it all down for people and just those little cartoons, appreciate it. thank you. now russia says that the o s. e vehicles are used in ukraine to transport western arms, saying certain instances have been uncovered by russian troops in that country. this substantial allegation was made in a recent un security council would kill them up in comments. the un security council meeting was convened the 15 member by the lead. the united nations assembled to discuss a resolution regarding the humanitarian situation in ukraine as the fighti

as i was saying, whether it is in the field of providing subsidies, to make sure american national securityerests are better that american use american fuel whether they are renewable or fossil fuels, to keep the economy going, to fuel their own lives, their households, these things are possible. it is not an either or. these things are completely doable. there is no reason to turn a blind eye to an entirely unneeded human suffering and ukraine and there is no reason except for deadlock on the hill, but to make a lot of these things easier for americans. i do not see why it should be a political -- politically controversial decision to make america stronger and make americans stronger and more able to take care of themselves right now. that is where i think the question of resiliency, societal resiliency, comes in. that is providing americans tools so they do not have to be complicit in tough decisions about where you get fuel or fragile and therefore more susceptible to the kind of propaganda and disinformation campaigns that russia, china, or other autocracies push out. it is important fo

as one senior american national security official warned, the new york times this weekend, the american legal definitions of what constitutes entering the war are not the same as vladimir putin's definitions. for instance, the kremlin has warned nato countries against letting them selves be used as a basis for ukraine's remaining air force. saying that if ukrainian planes attack russian forces from a nato country, russia is going to consider that country part of the conflict. so, poland is understandably nervous about this plane swap idea. ukrainian police wouldn't be attacking russians from poland, poland will be giving the plains to the ukrainian air force. so, would russia than consider poland a coal combatant? here in hungary, this president has been vocally pro putin right until putin invaded ukraine. hungary has split the difference. they're allowing nato troops to be stationed in this country, not anywhere near me, west of the danube river, near budapest. but they will not allow weapons to be shipped through ukraine through their territory. weapons destined for ukraine can, and h

if you want to support american national security, you cannot support donald trump. biden. that's the only way to show us the way forward. >> joyce, joe brought up an interesting point about the impeachment because in your new piece as well that is out, you point out that americans simply can't afford to forget the role that volodymyr zelenskyy played in trump's first impeachment. why is that so important to understanding what is actually going on with ukraine today? because we are playing in catchup in trying to get the ukrainians weapons they need that donald trump exploited to his political advantage back a couple years ago. >> that first impeachment almost feels like ancient history at this point. >> yeah. >> but it is important to remember some of the details and most notoriously that the former president was willing to withhold much needed military aid from ukraine in order to serve his personal political goals. the same sort of approach he took with nato, always willing to sacrifice nato, even talked about dramatically weakening nato, weakening the alliance at

foreign policy and the job of the military is to defend american national security. the reason we have an acute interest in what putin is doing is because putin has told us his objective. to reassembly the old soviet union. we were in the cold war with two super powers, america and the soviet union. putin is trying to rebuild the soviet union. the speech he gave a week ago said he wanted to rebuild the russian empire of 1922. it is in our interest to keep our enemies weak. we don't want a stronger vladimir putin with desires to conquer europe and the world. it's why we have a strong interest in preventing him from getting stronger because it's more dangerous for us. the second point you made respectfully, i don't think it's right this was inevitable. it was preventable. the most frustrating aspect about it. i think joe biden made specific mistakes that caused this invasion. a couple of weeks ago we had a classified briefing with all 100 senators and one of the democratic senators stood up and asked the secretary of state tony blinken, why did putin not invade ukraine

. >> jesse: greg, the president hasn't really articulated specifically what americans, national securityerest in ukraine and what the current strategy is besides what the red lines are? >> greg: are you suggesting president biden might not be engaged every day and serious issues? because, i'm afraid -- there might be a pattern here. there was a certain leader who was very slow on the crime, on the crime sprays. also very slow on vaccines. do you remember that? and also slow on the supply chain problem and slow on inflation. it seems to me that biden is just slow and that is the problem here. but i have to go back to what you said and i don't know when it was, what do we do? we either have to steel ourselves against the ghoulish carnage where we go all in because i think whenever we play in this middle ground, we are looking for an excuse not to get in and looking for a excuse to get in at the same time. all it does is create more suffering. i keep going back, where is the audacious diplomacy that this calls for? and an example -- and i know this will cause people's heads to exploit, whic

if the president gets out on national tv and gives a speech and says american national security is atng their head and saying maybe we should do a no-fly zone. he has not made that case. i have not heard that case from a lot of people. united states of america has not intervened in a lot of wars throughout the world, genocide, human catastrophe. a lot. okay? it's right now up to nato to defend nato countries. if article five is triggered of course you go in. of course now you just throw as many weapons at this as you possibly can and support the hell out of the ukrainians because it is a proxy war, we have to fight it to the death now. but, geraldo, i'm afraid, i'm afraid of going in and having a jet shot down. i'm afraid of biden bumbling us into war in europe again like we have a couple times in our history. i don't like it and russia looks scary right now backed up against a corner. what's stopping them from topping a tactical nuke from scaring us away. what do we do then? what do we do then? >> geraldo: excellent question and it is the dilemma we all face. what do you think of the

and then the president said that the job crisis is an unusual and extraordinary threat to american national securityce president, the president, they are not even talking about it. no public service announcements, no education to the kids, the parents i work with throughout america -- they are devastated. they didn't even know what fentanyl was. so thank you, tucker, for carrying about these kids in these families and talking about it on prime-time tv. >> tucker: i think most americans know someone has died from this. all deaths are tragic, but kids were not drug addicts -- it's just college kids doing some and stupid and they died. china is causing the deaths of 400,000 americans a year. why is nobody saying anything about this? >> 285 a day are dying. nobody saying anything about it because it is politicized. this is not a red or blue issue, it is a red, white, and blue issue. all americans come all families, all races, all economic backgrounds are impacted. unfortunately the white house has their old antiquated talking points on the old opioid crisis when the big pharma corporate cartels were bom

he would rather sell out american national security and deal with a terrorist regime that our own intelligencety has acknowledged was targeting trump officials with assassination plans. he's more than willing to sit down with them to negotiate to get a deal. it is just simply about not putting america first. and that is unfortunately what we continue to see from this biden administration. >> sean: i wish people like you were in office right now. and in these positions, we would be in a different world. john ratcliffe, thank you, sir. joe biden tonight continues to say no to american energy as we've been discussing. continues to say no to restoring energy independence purity with reaction, former keystone xl pipeline worker neil crabtree is with us along with ohio republican congressman jim jordan. neil, let me start with you. you hear the premier of alberta say that within a year we could have 900,000 barrels of oil pump through that pipeline a day. how close are we to finishing up pipeline? >> we've got to remember just because president biden gets his okay that we are still dealing with a co

i mean, it was a coup in 2013, 2014, the idea was that the obama administration the american national securitystablishment and the europeans would be able to poke at putin and get away with it on the cheap, right? so what happened was interest was a coup. the president went into exile. the state department now back in the biden administration like victoria nuland helped assemble a new ukrainian government pro-u.s. and anti-russia. the problem is this that russia is extremely powerful neighbor of ukraine's. a buffer state in between two other more powerful entities is to cultivate and maintain positive relations. you do not want to be used as an instrument against the powerful neighbor. so that's, i'm not making a pro-vladimir putin argument. what i am saying though is the u.s. national security establishment has sent out a client state an ally out against a very dangerous adversary and that's what we're looking at right now. this continued push against putin on his own borders this is in large part what has led us lehr to this moment. >> jesse: saying that as a buffer state, you know, ukraine

they were mine day how american oil production is for our national security and for partners president biden would grind his ideological acts and escalate his holy war on made in american fossil fuels. this this is a valiant request of an administration that is completely disconnected from reality. of a president who was decided not to pivot. of the democratic party that has chosen not to correct course on its own. every data point suggest the american people want and need a major course correction. it appears in about seven months, they may have to provide it themselves. >> c-span's washington journal, every day we take your call live on the air on the news of the day and discussed policy issues that impact you. coming up tuesday morning we will look at the u.s. defense budget with todd harrison. an suri cruise -- university professor talks about the ukraine's impact on the u.s. supply chain. watch washington journal live on 7:00 eastern on c-span or c-span now our free mobile app. join the discussion with your phone call, facebook comments, texts and tweets. >> this year more than 30

as the former chief of the american agency for national security general william odom under these conditions, moscow had very little chance of winning the cold war, now, looking back, we see how difficult was the position of moscow, the west really had to play mediocre, so as not to win with such cards william odom director of the us national security agency 1985-1988 one game our partners in the big game got together and undertook mediocrely continued to play just ours i always quote a very interesting article , which was written by kenn, in my opinion, the fifty-first . where he foresees the end of the soviet system, and where he says when it will be and it will be it will be an internal process. 1960s open colossal oil fields in western siberia clogged a fountain of self-creation the scale of the increase in oil production in these years is unprecedented in the history of the industry, to this was added an unprecedented increase in world oil prices in two leaps, 1973 and 1979 the ussr's foreign exchange earnings grew unprecedented grain and other foodstuffs, foreign exchange earnings are

lieutenant general keith kellogg, fox news contributor, co-chairman of the center for american security and former national security advisor to vice president pence and president trump. great to have you on the program today. general, first of all does it matter not so much what the president said first or what he said second, but like the third, fourth, fifth generation of it? >> thanks, harris. what he said is foolish. somebody ought to grab him in the oval office and say you need to understand, mr. president, there is a war going on. innocent people are dying. cities are being ravaged and destroys and words matter. you said that on the campaign trail and you have to understand when you make comments like that, you are not caring when you said that you don't care about what putin thinks. what everybody has to understand and it's very important when it comes to national security. always look through your opponent's eyes and lens. when you say things what kind of reaction will you get? i remember with president trump when we were in the oval office and talking to adversaries and kim jong-un. he would be ha

world events are reminding us every day how important american oil and natural gas production is for our national security and for our partners, but president biden would rather grind his ideological axe and escalate his holy war on made-in-america fossil fuel. this, this is the budget request of an administration that is completely disconnected from reality, of a president who's decided not to pivot, of a democrat party that has chosen not to correct course on its own every data point suggests the american people want and need a major course correction. it appears that, in about seven months, they may have to provide council of economic advisers.ide >> good afternoon.
