let's bring in general jack keane. why does this matter to all of us here at home? definitely matters. turkey is strategically located part of europe, to be sure, nato member, and also a nation in the middle east. and that strategic location is actually vital. when we look at nato, turkey has the second largest military in nato. the first is obviously the united states. now we have a strained relationship with turkey as a member of nato. the reason is simple. they moved closer to russia. major trading partner with russia, obviously helping them avoid sanctions as a result of all of that. but the reality is that when you look at what is happening in turkey, you also see that this is still a deeply divided society. that erdogan's policy of polarizing his nation for 20 years has worked. and despite his authoritarianism and moving away from democratic freedoms, despite the economic mal practice in tanking his economy largely due to inflation that you mentioned and as i mentioned his moving away from the united states and the west, he is likely to win this runoff my sour

general jack keane is a fox news senior strategic analyst.when you see something like this what goes through your mind, sir? >> potential mishapp certainly. it is outrageous behavior. this fighter is a high performance aircraft. our reconnaissance plane is likely flying a predictable route. harassment is what they're doing. the united states military is kind of on the front lines of this, not too surprising given the aggression that china has. they resent the fact, dana, that we're spying and collecting surveillance information on them every single day. this is a very obvious means that we do it. we use all sources to do this. we sail our ships through the taiwan straits and the south china sea. we conduct exercises with our allies and partners in the region. and they know that principally that is all directed against them. we wouldn't be doing much of this, to be frank, dana, if they weren't so aggressive in reaching out and trying to dominate and control the pacific region useing coercion to do that and undermining civil societies and what

general jack keane joins us on what the role that they would have, that part of the story to explain exactly how that will work. that's coming up in moments. first, the wall street editorial board kimberly strassel who recently wrote about this in a column called "chicago's sanctuary city awakening." great to have you with us. used to be fun to be a sanctuary city. but it's not so much fun anymore. >> yeah, do you see me playing the world's smallest violin for these mayors? can we talk about the numbers for the moment and the actual reality of this. i appreciate that these cities are feeling that they're running out of shelter space. but in a letter that lori lightfoot wrote to governor greg abbott in texas -- this is why we're hearing the complaints. the texas governor says he's going to restart sending migrants to other parts of the country again. she was complaining that they have now taken more than 8,000 migrants. they're tapped out. okay. you know that el paso on some of its highest days is seeing more than 2,000 people a day flood over the border into its environments? that's

we bring in retired four-star general jack keane, chairman of the institute for the study of war and fox news senior strategic analyst. general, good to have your here. obviously a very big development. ukraine has been fishing for these f-16s for a long time. until now the white house has said no. >> yeah, this is the pattern. ukraine asks for a capability. we reject it. then some of our allies start to warm to the idea. the u.k. led this effort. their new prime minister much like boris johnson is all in on supporting ukrainians. when you start to look at this thing, in terms of the facts of it, it just makes so much sense to give them an air capability beyond what their helicopters, their limited fighter jet capability that they have. this is an advanced generation aircraft that they will use. they want to use it for air defense and support their troops on the ground. the f-16 can to both of those functions very easily. i agree completely about training the ukrainians. if there's one thing we've learned in these last 18 months or so is how quickly the ukrainians pick up anything th

general jack keane and what he makes of that. what do you think, general?uple of things operating here. let's take -- unpack china's motivation here. i think china came to the same conclusion that many of us did, that this war would not last very long that russia would dominate early on and the ukrainian military would collapse. i think that's what putin probably told president xi at the olympics. xi was expecting that. now he has a protracted war on his hands and that's not in his interest. why not? it's impacting the global commit. president xi has some challenges in his economy. it's not growing at the rate he wants. he has unemployment on a scale that he's not seen before, particularly under his youth and productivity issues. so he would like this to end. certainly as one of the motivations. the other thing is i think he wants good will here. he got a lot of good will dealing with saudi arabia and iran and getting them back to having diplomatic relations that was cut off in 2016. even if he can't broker a deal, he thinks it may help him with the e.u. an

joining me now, fox news strategic analyst general jack keane. always a pleasure.aria: what do you make of this visit today? more suggestions that communist china is the power broker here on the global stage. >> well, i think you have to make a judgment about whether they can truly be effective as a media. i mean, obviously they're very mediated, biased towards russia. they he refuse to condemn the invasion. they are actually supporting it. they go along with the russian false a narrative that the united states is to blame for it and even while they're not providing overt lethal weapons to russia, they are providing some of the elements that contribute to the manufacturing of weapons. microchips, various chemicals and minerals that go into missile weaponization and other items as well like commercial drones. listen, they're all-in. they wanted russia to win this war and to win it quickly and many of us thought that certainly was what was going to happen. i think what's going on now, maria, is they look at it, they see the potential for a protracted war and the cont

let's ask retired four-star general jack keane, chairman of the institute for the study of war and a ne, welcome. so what do you make of this u.s. warming to china as the mediator? >> well, i don't dispute the fact that it's in china's interests to do this. certainly, relationships with the u.s. are at the lowest they've been for some time. secondly, the europeans have been pushing back on china even chancellor olaf schultz from germany in talking about derisking some of the economic relationship. what he means by that is sect live decoupling -- selective decoupling of that relationship, and other countries have expressed the same thing. so i think what china wanted was what putin wanted, a quick victory and force the united states and the europeans to take a knee over supporting ukraine as russia celebrates a victory and enhances china's reputation. that didn't happen. and they see a protracted war in front of them. so i think offering a diplomatic hand here on the heels of their success in the middle east with iran and saudi arabia is what their motivation. whether they can be with

here with his night four star general conversation general jack keane.the tone and circumstances that led to this meeting? i think we are very anxious to renew the communication after chinese. this is pretty rich. chinese one of the most aggressive acts i have ever seen penetrated the united states airspace for an entire week and broke off communications with us as a result of it and they pout for a number of months and we're anxious to get back into negotiations with them. i do believe we should talk to each other will we did that wih the soviet union for years. what my concern is the chinese aggression that is destabilizing the relationship between ourselves and china and also in the region. and it's china's support of russia who has invaded ukraine and illegal invasion of a democratic you can see china's aggression being played out every single day in the region. that the is destabilizing factor. and if we go in there and we and lay out our cards in terms of what they are doing the response they they have we know what the reality is when you show weak

bring in the four star general himself, fox news general strategic analyst, of course, general jack keanetack and do you think it could be a false flag operation? >> yeah, well, we have looked at the institute for the study of war and, first of all, no one knows who did this. so, we're left to do some analysis on what facts are in front of us. and when you look at it, it looks like the russians created this event, a so-called false flag operation. and, why is that? well the pattern of behavior here in terms of what took place, doesn't fit, ukrainian playbook. they seek damage. and there's no real damage here. this is done by drones that are commercially available as well as being slightly armed to inflict minimal damage. second, it is so well-framed for filming, brian, and look at it, i mean, you couldn't create anything better than this. and the russians came out relatively quickly to say that this was an assassination attempt on putin and everybody knows that putin doesn't sleep in the pentagon, except if he has got a crisis going on. obviously he is going to stay there going on during

another fellow knows a thing or two of this whole connection, general jack keane with us right now.go seems to be playing out now. this notion that we assume that china needs us a lot more than we need them. we assume that they're not going to risk shaking any cages because, well they don't want to do what russia has done be alienated in the world. his feeling was they are quite content where they stand, do you agree with that? >> yeah, but i don't agree with his characterization. the reason why there is tension and conflict exists is because china is aggressive. they're repressive at home. they have concentration camps with the uyghurs, which by the way mr. dalio, issued a moral equivalency. he said, china's uyghur issue compares to racism in the united states which i find kind of stark, totally disagree with you. the issue china's aggression is why the tension exists. it is china for the last 10 years that has been been inintimidating our allies, japan, philippines, our ally in vietnam. hundreds of fishing ships being harassed every single day, told to me by the interior minister,

general jack keane on that.we get to any real war, we're knee deep in a economic one. >> well, china certainly, neil, is a economic super power. an emerging military super power and they have been using their weight around the world. they have said time and time again, they want to replace the international order and economically they have tried very hard to do that with their belt and road initiative to replace the world bank and the imf. both organizations post world war ii to help developing countries. china is out there all around the world with their hand out giving money to build projects and other things without the conditions that the imf and the world bank. they've had some success with that certainly, but there's also been some blow-back because the projects themselves are not of the quality that people expect and you have to use chinese labor to do it. they're very aggressive. now they're trying to separate europe from the united states. that's going to be very hard to do because russia has driven eur
