khrushchev of course... he backed off. and did not - to europe. khrushchev of course...ry long. i don't know if the is really _ leader for a very long. i don't know if the is really the _ leader for a very long. i don't know if the is really the issue _ leader for a very long. i don't know if the is really the issue that - if the is really the issue that might push putin over the edge or not, i think there are other things going on. yeah, i mean interesting thing about... there is been some sign of hope that maybe we could get some sort of negotiated peace deal, but people think about it as the ukrainians and the russian sitting down across that table, but the other party is nato. the us, they cannot do a deal without some sort of, for instance, i don't think richey was sign up to any kind of deal without a promise to roll back at least some of the sanctions, maybe say if the russians agree to withdraw some of their troops in exchange for the lifting of the restrictions in the freezing audit central bank... so it's notjust a very simple calculation or negotiation because

september 25th, 1959 khrushchev visits the eisenhower's washington and spends time with eisenhower's david at this point in time the soviets have scored the first and our head in the space race, but not by much but both khrushchev and eisenhower's saw each other's rivals. this photo is of note because you'll see in eisenhower's right hand a small sphere that's called the luna sphere and in fact is on display there at the eisenhower. prior to getting humans into space both countries sent unmanned lunar pathfinders to the moon. on luna 2 the soviets sent their lunar pathfinder with that same type of sphere that is in eisenhower's hand and they called it the lunar calling card. so the idea was that this unmanned pathfinder. would shoot this ball towards the surface of the moon. the ball was spring loaded and comprised of tiny medallions with the hammer and sickle and cccp on it. the idea was if the us were the first to land on the moon they would see these lunar calling cards and think the soviets had been there. there's only three of these luna spheres that i know of left one obviously

the mirror, ah and uh, we didn’t finish this war after the great patriotic war thanks, including khrushchevt fight it today, we 'll leave it to our grandchildren. i have two. uh, i have more of both guys, but now you can’t finish this war , you need to finish the war in order to finish it, you need to carry out a normal denocification. here i agree that it is necessary to understand. here, then it is necessary to always accurately calculate the forces. this is a very important point, that is, there should not be first victories. therefore, here, too, one must always be very competent. here's how to behave strictly. that is, everything must be counted. victory must be sure to understand how they do what to do, that is, it is necessary to calculate everything very competently , but here in this regard the president. it 's always good. that is, he weighs very clearly understands, and you need to finish the result set, you need to get a new result, you can get it using different methods. you can also take a word, kiev is not a question in three days. well, yes, but then there will be no kiev th

fast forward. 1953 pitt nikita khrushchev takes over. he wanted to eliminate any influence of stalin and started removing some of the government controls be but khrushchev brought the world to the brink of nuclear war during the cuban missile crisis. he was forced to resign. in 19624, his successor brezhnev torpedoed the economy to a deep decline. in 1985, mikhail gorbachev was the last leader of the ussr. he jump-started economic reforms, led to the rise of privately owned businesses, free-market capitalism. but it had the opposite effect, leading to the collapse of the soviet union. in 1992, the first president of modern russia, boris yeltsin would lead the country to the wild west of capitalism. debiting consequences to the economy and the well-being of its citizens. out of nowhere, in 2000, trampolines to the post of president was vladimir putin. but he was a nobody. how did he rise to power? putin's story begins in 1952. only child born in st. petersburg. his parents were factory workers. putin attended leningrad state university an

where kennedy went out of the way not to personalize his competition with khrushchev and sought someind of face-saving deal from khrushchev which was removing missiles from turkey, american missiles from turkey. so i think what this administration is trying to do is figure out in advance what they would do in the case of biological or chemical or nuclear. it gets more complicated because the president has said we would have to respond militarily if there was an attack on a nato country, and of course a chemical, biological or nuclear explosion in ukraine and it could drift across the border. is that an act of aggression? >> david seng er, it would be interesting to be on the meetings. i want to get information from james clapper, former director of national intelligence. thank you for joining us. what is your reaction about this recording to plan response scenarios? >> well, it's pretty common, that you would set up a group of experts below the deputy's committee level that would examine a particular problem and try to in this case game out what the russian scenarios might be, what a

this is the first move in the bosman district under the renovation program from khrushchev, people will move to a business-class house built. here you see a beautiful one on an individual project, baumanskaya 47. and in this house there are 274 apartments, the happy owners will be 233 families, the next move under the renovation program in the basmanny district is planned by the end of the summer. the house on bakuninskaya 60 will be ready for demolition. there will be 26 houses in this area. alena lavrova sergei zalin and oleg dobbinsti will receive new housing for approximately 3,000 people. the moscow regional theater of drama and comedy celebrated its 90th anniversary. this event was celebrated by the theater staff with a great festive performance in different years , mikhail zharov, lyudmila telyakovskaya, performed on this stage. evgeny evstigneev tatyana pelter today the corpses are made up of graduates of leading theatrical universities, including gitis, who, together with the ministry of culture, prepared a theater support project. the musical theater put on a performance for t

, and khrushchev was enthusiastic about certain things and he would get way ahead of himself and be very his political decisions, which is a lot to say. >> nina, is there anything to the notion that the west would be doing something differently in terms of the very wary approach the west is taking because of what they see as the unpredictability of putin and that that is handcuffing us from doing what we should be doing in -- in, you know, trying to push back against all of this? it's almost as if we give him leeway because we're worried about what he might do that's a -- puts us in a difficult position to be able to counter what he's doing. >> well, i mean, you know, president biden said numerous times we don't want world war 3, and so the question is -- >> again and again, yeah >> -- right, do we want world war 3? i don't have an answer to that what it should be doing more it is basically an economic war, global economic war with russia right now. so if that is not enough, then there's bombs and nuclear weapons, so we're going back to the '50s and i don't know there is a great solution

imagine if khrushchev in the cuban crisis thought that jfk was more afraid of the war than khrushchev in moscow. the nuclear missiles would be standing in cuba to today, and they would threaten america with those weapons to today. so that's a game of impression. if you think that your opponent is fearful, you blanch. if you feel he's resolved to punch back immediately, not later but immediately, then you will calculate twice what to do. >> think twice about any actions. former foreign minister of russia andrei kozorov, thank you, we'll speak again. >>> in just a moment, new word from the white house on that attack on the polish border. >>> and what you didn't know about roman abramovich, the most famous of the russian oligarchs, from the reporter who introduced him to the world. wait, what? it sounded like you just said an eye drop that may help you see up close. i did. it's an innovative way to... so, wait. i don't always have to wear reading glasses? yeah! vuity™ helps you see up close. so, i can see up close with just my eyes? uh-huh. with one drop in each eye, once daily. in focus

i'm joined now by the great—granddaughter of nikita khrushchev, whojoins me live from new york and it'sargued that russia is a - invaded? i was one of those people who argued that russia is a grand l who argued that russia is a grand country to which negotiating tactics are grand and scary so i was in shock when it happened because it seems rational and we can see it's a month into this war and its completely irrational and goes against every national interest, it goes against all the goals that putin stated he wanted, new security negotiations in europe, collective security, we want nato to be less direct link to russia and what remarkable is that he achieved absolutely the opposite, in fact nato countries are meeting in brussels and there is a certain amount of unity that probably they haven't seen since the war in iraq or even war in afghanistan since the early 2000 when all the american wars were declared, so he achieved the opposite. you wars were declared, so he achieved the opposite-— the opposite. you said in a recent article you — the opposite. you said in a recent article you

it was all later, but until april 956 khrushchev arrives in london and the bulgans on the eve of theting with them, british examples receive instructions from us president eisenhower. in no way should we tacitly agree to the presence of the ussr in the middle east; this can only lead to the bear seizing production with its claws and transportation. and these moments are vital to protecting the economy of the west dwight david eisenhower president of the united states 1956 british prime minister antonidan acts in strict accordance with the position agreed with the americans any harsh intervention in your country in the affairs of the middle east that could interfere with the extraction or transportation of oil, vital for security and economy . the west will force us to react and, if necessary, use force. we can't live without oil, and we won't let anthony strangle us. eden prime minister of great britain 1956. january 2007 the energy diplomacy and security act, prepared by republican senator richard lugor, former head of the foreign affairs committee and supported by the new chairman

in these regions, many are sure that the decision to transfer the crimea was personally made by khrushchev, according to one version, the former first secretary of the kiev regional committee. this is how pika wanted to reward his supporters in ukraine in the struggle for power. yes, he won, he is already the leader in 54, but far from unambiguous. and ukraine is sorry, a quarter of the votes at the congress. a it means that he needs these votes for a hare; he had no questions to include in ukraine or not to include; he had a question of how to make ukraine his patrimony, that same decree number four of march 9 , 1954, a document that changed history. but in the mid-fifties, hardly anyone thought so. we now understand that the transfer of crimea is a mistake now. but then, in general, it was not the politicians who attached importance to this, nor the citizens, as a matter of fact, because within the framework of a single state, c is the meaning was of no fundamental importance. in the early nineties, internal borders became external at the infamous meeting in bialowieza. more than russia

the post-war years and the bendera terrorist partisan war against their own people, and then the khrushchevmnesty the so-called now, and we have come to the conclusion that this system of nationalism of nazism is self-reviving . what about there is a basis the revival of this whole system needs to be sorted out. and, probably, this basis should be eliminated once and for all. and how it is liquidated no, it will never self-destruct. what does genocification mean, who will carry it out, they denocify themselves there, too. this is also not an option. so the basis of all nationalism is the system that the first presidents built, laid the foundation, and then all subsequent presidents are the business and the political forces that came to power. supported two hands. they spoke all right. this is an oligarchic system. here is the oligarchy, just what it is. that basis is the nourishment of nationalism, which degenerated into neo-fascism. and so, if this foundation is not eliminated, nothing of the kind good will happen there further. i believe that recently enough information has been released

khrushchev of course... he backed off. and he did not remain leaderfor a very long.sting in history. i don't know if that is really the issue that might push putin over the edge or not, i think there are other things going on. yeah, i mean the interesting thing about... there is been some signs of hope that maybe we could get some sort of negotiated peace deal, but people think about it as the ukrainians and the russians sitting down across that table, but the other party is nato. the us, they cannot do a deal without some sort of, for instance, i don't think russia would sign up to any kind of deal without a promise to roll back at least some of the sanctions, maybe, say, if the russians agree to withdraw some of their troops in exchange for the lifting of the restrictions in freezing the central bank... that would've have to be part of the deal, i would have thought. so it's notjust a very simple calculation or negotiation because there is this other thing hanging over the negotiations that could influence that. is that your sense is well is that putin is not inter

again that they were released from prisons in exactly the same way as victims of the nkvd after khrushchevwn on the cult of stalin, and if on the territory entirely in russia, well, the soviet union , there really were many innocent people imprisoned for political reasons people, then in western ukraine it was just bandera’s members of their families who were released. those who harbored them sympathized simply did not it was proved that they themselves were, and they were always animals and grew out of them, without hiding, komsomol members and so on. irina farion the komsomol goddess, there is tyagnibok and so on, therefore, of course, we understand our russian world, not just as some group of countries, where a lot of this is the russian picture of the world in our minds. this is the world in our russian mind. it is clear that the russian man, despite being insular with russia for centuries, was much more universalistic. he believed that truth is addressed to everything and justice should have been always be with yours. eh, there was a feeling of compassion for the fallen and fallen. li

khrushchev of course... he backed off. and did not remain leaderfor a very long. is really the issue that might push putin over the edge or not, i think there are other things going on. yeah, i mean the interesting thing about... there's been some sign of hope that maybe we could get some sort of negotiated peace deal, but people think about it as the ukrainians and the russians sitting down across that table, but the other party is nato. the us, they cannot do a deal without some sort of, for instance, i don't think russia would sign up to any kind of deal without a promise to roll back at least some of the sanctions, maybe say if the russians agree to withdraw some of their troops in exchange for the lifting of the restrictions in freezing the central bank... so it's notjust a very simple calculation or negotiation because there is this other thing hanging on the negotiations that could influence that. is that your sense is well is that putin is not interested in a deal right now on these terms because some of the movement this week has been a lot more positive

in 505, because the current ones are all these guys, these are the grandchildren of those whom khrushchevrs and removed his criminal record. yes, volodya is gorgeous. i'm not talking about these bandera all the rest , you know, these are people who held any posts. they could and they did. how can a grandfather raise his grandson or well, only in this way, but only on complete hatred, that is, creepy, of course now. they have been invited to central southeastern ukraine, especially for the last 30 years, as supposedly native speakers of the correct ukrainian language, although the correct literary ukrainian language was created bolsheviks - we understand this on the basis and everything works as it should. and they are still there, which means they are trying in every possible way. well, what if they affect minds? yes, if they influence the minds and people believe them. look, a few days ago, the dryers launched a fake that russian troops. well , of course, what they do is lose the initiative, and that the troops survived them in irpenia, a hundred milliguchi, and that's what really happen

one talks about it and after all any claims to crimea crimea was never ukrainian, going back to khrushchevrinking binges in the fifties after which he gave kiev control of crimea didn't change. but i think that now something has changed not because of the alleged ukrainian resistance. although those behave in a frank battle, like an igil, banned in russia and commits a terrible atrocity against the russians. i think zelensky will now serve as his negotiators, but no longer takes them seriously. and it's unfortunate, because it means that now he has to reevaluate what he wants to do, and he may decide to leave everything east of the dnieper to russia. well, this has not historically been ukraine for hundreds of years these lands. they were the mongol-tatar yoke, then they became russian. there are ukrainians there, but a lot of russian ukrainians. i am i think he might decide he's going to have to do it, we don't know, but that's not an unjustified conclusion, especially if he decides he can't trust anything they do? ukrainians, they say, given zelensky's behavior and resistance to any reas

even during the cold war, you know, kennedy and khrushchev talked to each other, even during the cuban missile crisis. that's how it got resolved. of course, was a kennedy making a deal with crew chef over missiles in turkey exchange for the missiles to be taken out of cuba. and a look. we've been led to this situation because of the unwillingness of the u. s. leaders to speak to the rush, their russian counterparts. and you know, it's tragic. it all i can say is we need to listen to the other side even to us. people you think are your adversaries, or maybe especially those you think are your adversaries. of course, as you know, the corleone's would say, you know, keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. i mean, you have to deal with those people or else he's got an echo chamber, i suppose. just the point on the sanctions. what's your sense? these western sanctions against moscow? do you think more still to come or the gun to just keep going on until some kind of reaction is met by moscow? well, it may be that that will happen. i mean, my firm belief is that the west, in part

that was the khrushchev era and gorbachev. the u.s.leaders let the west into the hearts and minds in the russian people. they can be the way. what we should do is focus attention into inwards, into russia. and, try to get rid of the fifth column and finish brainwashing the russian population. when he cements that bubble, i think that's what the real dangers occur for the world. he doesn't care about sanctions. any dictator, if he causes harm to his people, they will die of hunger with a smile on their face. if he's finishing what he starts, we are in danger. all the peace talks will fail with ukraine. then, he will invoke article 5. he is incredibly trigger-happy. he is used chemical weapons. i fully agree with you. putin has become in hitch. the only people he fears is a russian people. that is when we are in trouble. i really wanted to point out what arnold schwarzenegger did yesterday. he directly addressed the russian's people. he sent a telegraph to the russian population. unless we reach the people first, unless we show them what

she's the granddaughter of nikita khrushchev who served as the premier of the soviet union.a, good to see you. thank you for being. with us. look, it's a mcdonald's. anybody can live without it- but this is a pretty potent metaphor. russia is especially moving backwards in a very big way. there is a real risk, maybe i'm overstating. it vladimir putin's undoing decades of globalization and prosperity. in a month. >> well, it closed recently and essentially in just a week it became clear that it's the iron curtain. and now it's actually unofficially created but also created by putin himself- = because the western businesses and western -- also the russians themselves the kremlin. controlling organs, close, closed numerous -- there's not that many outlets. but they closed the newspapers, and they do nbc mostly media also left -- and they left russia because so you i think we're very generous to say that russians back where they started 30 years ago. because in the last five years of the soviet union it was rather open. my fear and what i've seen is russia's back in the late 194

in professor of international fairs and the great-granddaughter of former soviet premier nikita khrushchev brate to have you on, back on, i should say given the fact you know these countries deep as you do and history that goes back many centuries, anything here today in terms of these meetings between world leaders that moves the needle on the conflict as we see it playing out on the ground right now? >> i don't see it. ip could be wrong and hope i'm wrong, but i don't see it. we, in fact, already heard although there is a danger o using the kremlin using weapons of mass destruction, potential chemical weapons, we already heard today if those weapons and hopefully not, but maybe used in ukraine and stay in ukraine they're gos t going to interfer. heard president biden even calling vladimir putin a war criminal wouldn't do anything to increase the conflict. jens stoltenberg saying nato is not party to that conflict so it seems showing of unity is important. the sanctions are important to keep pressing for the west volodymyr zelenskyy spoke again and asked for no-fly zone and airplanes and

here's how professor nina sheva, the granddaughter of nikita khrushchev. >> the latest poll shows putin'sent to 71%. it was in the 60s before, now 71, not because he is popular, but because the west is unpopular and 60% suring up that issue. that could be something that keeps him in power. russia feels the west is out to get them. >> is it in a russian's best interest to speak their mind freely in response to these kind of questions? >> i think you have to take every poll with a grainful salt. the truth is right in the middle right now. because despite the poll numbers you're quoting, you had large numbers of demonstrators that have continued to really come out in moscow and st. petersburg and other countries and just today, thousands of peopling being rounded up so people are opposed to this effort. one thing i worry about just from the conversation i've had with a lot of people who are living in the country, they are trying to flee. people who are worried about this wore and putin's government. if those are all the people that leave to show some kind of descent. nina and i were talking

the final piece was crimea, a peninsula on the black sea, which soviet leader nikita khrushchev transferredm russia to ukraine. but even after ukraine declared independence in 1991, pro-russian political elements remained, which putin exploited. in ukraine's 2004 presidential elections, he supported the pro-russian prime minister viktor yanukovych. yanukovych ran against viktor yushchenko, a pro-western opposition politician. >> it would be a great mistake if ukraine misses a train bound for europe. ali: yanukovych won, but internatnal monitors said the election fell short of its standard. yushchenko supporters took to the streets. they sparked the orange revolution, so-called for the campaign's colors, holding protests and storming parliament. the ukrainian supreme court deemed the results invalid, and yushchenko won the next election. during the election, yushchenko became ill and his face became disfigured. it was found to be dioxin poisoning. his supporters blamed the pro-russian government. >> who's responsible? the ukrainian authorities are, who have been doing everything not to let y

there is a glimmer of hope here in the history in that in 1963, nikita khrushchev was overthrown, inngerous decision making during the cuban missile crisis. and it is to be hoped that some day in the future someone will be able to tell putin that it is time to resign and that his inner circle will follow through and make sure that he does not stay in power. >> we are all looking for those glimmers of hope. prone jane vaynman, professor scott sagan, thank you both for being with us. >>> at the top of the hour, diving into the ways in which the war can end diplomatically. but as the world watches the horrors russia is unleashing in ukraine realtime, diplomacy feels a long way away. what the u.s. and nato need to do. it is next on "american voices." . my wife and i have three children. ruthann and i like to hike. we eat healthy. we exercise. i noticed i wasn't as sharp as i used to be. my wife introduced me to prevagen and so i said "yeah, i'll try it out." i noticed that i felt sharper, i felt like i was able to respond to things quicker. and i thought, yeah, it works for me. prevagen.

either at the point of a gun or through some other very odd means whether the politburo pushes out khrushchevor whatever means they might be. but by the way, that these sanctions are working the way that russia is really being cut off from the rest of the world, it's really putting a very difficult situation into the into the russian leaders and the elite hands where they might not survive if putin stays at the top. so it becomes very serious for them if they want to keep their status, they might start looking around for someone else to to be the leader in just the 30 seconds we've got here. quick answer. what will be the first telltale signs that something like a rebellion will be brewing? i would say that it probably has to do well. it's going to be very quick to beat it to begin with . the russians when the russians do it, they tend to be very quick. we can all remember back to nineteen ninety one when there was a coup against against gorbachev, they left it a very quickly. it didn't last very long but it's going to be looking for some sort of it probably with regard to communications or t

let's not forget also that the ouster of khrushchev occurred two years after he retreated from cuba,missiles from cuba. then, of course, the quagmire of afghanistan lead makeup gorbachev led to gorbachev's reforms that ultimately destroyed the soviet union. putin knows this is straight. that's another reason why i and a lot of others, and by the, way lots of ukraine, it's almost all of, them including president zelenskyy, but he would never undertake this absolutely insane operation. and of course, this makes it all the more dangerous. >> leon air, and thank you very much for joining us tonight. i really appreciate it. and coming, up the leaders of the united states and the savannah union once agreed to make this joint statement. these words, nuclear war cannot be one and must never be fought. for it doesn't sound like putin agrees with that statement anymore. that is next. that is next at vanguard, you're more than just an investor, you're an owner with access to financial advice, tools and a personalized plan that helps you build a future for those you love. vanguard. become an own

teams do drive the market and gonzaga and duke being in did certainly raised ticket prices and mike khrushchev coach of duke, who is probably the most well known basketball coach, i would say i can't think of anyone who eclipses him. coach k. i was trying to impress the fact that this area is has a deep basketball history, and he wanted to let his players know. try to tell my guys this. this area loves basketball. it what, man? not just the warriors. it's the it's the deep rooted and then in their gym at san francisco, you know they have three like three national championships. cyber at the end of practice. i brought them together, okay? 55 56, who is the best player and they all yelled out, bill russell. yeah. you don't have to be a certain age. if you play basketball, you've heard of bill russell. you know what he means to the sport and what he means to the bay area chase center exactly what the warriors wanted to do when they built it over here. the obviously they wanted to have the warriors games here, but they also wanted to bring in big name. events like this have had concerts. and now t

like the cuban missile crisis, nikita khrushchev, they said american missiles were taken out of turkeyand they were trying to blackmail the united states by putting missiles in cuba, but one of the things that americans fail to understand, just like they fail to understand today, is that the united states and nato cannot just attack russia. because of their aggression, because russia is a nuclear power. there is a no-fly zone because there is eventually helicopter getting shut down, and that could start a nuclear holocaust. my last comment, i think, this invasion by putin is being done to weaken the biden administration and distract the biden administration from america's domestic roles. -- woes. host: a number of callers have said this would not have happened if donald trump was president. we lost our caller there. thank you for your comments. california, independent line. caller: good morning. this is a head scratcher. i've listened to the other callers and they all have valid points. i was listen to the gentleman who is very passionate about what is going on at home. definitely. and

this, of course, changed a little bit under khrushchev and gorbachev. you will remember those changes that gorbachev sort of brought about. and then the yeltsin years, he stopped the 9th of may parades, which again, those in the older generation will remember the missiles and the tanks going through red square. and that was all stopped and in a way, despite the fact that there were lots and lots of things wrong with yeltsin, people could look into the archives and look at the things that went terribly wrong under stalin and so on. and then things were handed over to putin, and then we have seen things change again to using world war ii history as a political weapon. it started with the sochi olympics, because putin had wanted to make this 2014 a huge turning point year, and in fact, it ended one the russians point. since then the great patriotic wars once again became a huge point of you know there's no free press in russia now to speak of and putin can pretty much say what he wants. the mythology of the wars is also taking on the form of increasing of

this will not be like khrushchev in 1962. this is putin.urther, the turkish are sending over drones. we are sending in planes. we are sending in planes. they will fly and i hope they can bomb these sites for us. but if we get into this, this is what putin wants. he will level their cities and he will kill many people and he will set up escape routes and he will shove them down. do not be surprised. that is just how this is going to play out. i am sorry. we are trying to pour in as many weapons as we can. but if we get into a shooting war with the russians, they have two missiles pointed in the general direction of every area of the united states. they will sending multiple reentry vehicles from each missile and each major city. i am talking about more cities than you could possibly imagine. each major city will receive two of those vehicles. they are nuclear weapons. they will knock out our electronic grade. -- grade -- grid. host: all right. we will take one last call from lawrence in st. paul, minnesota, on the independents line. hi, lawr

remember back when khrushchev was in russia, he made the statement that the united states would fallithout a single shot. we would fall from within and i guess we are in that situation now. i wish somebody had the right answer and it is not me. host: there is more ahead here on "washington journal." in the next hour, different views from members of congress. up next, we will talk to democratic representative mikey cheryl from new jersey. we will talk about the ukraine war and later, a member of the appropriations committee, the republican congressman from oklahoma, tom cole. ♪ >> american history tv saturday on c-span2, exploring the people and events that tell the american story. at 2:00 p.m. eastern on the presidency in one of our series, first ladies. we will look at the role of the first lady, their time of the white house, and the issues important to them. this week will feature lady johnson. >>c it was too much looking down and i think it was a little too fast. not enough change of pace. >> at 9:00 p.m. eastern as president biden names judge ketanji brown jackson as his nominee

the cuban missile crisis people chose to forget about it and the united states and soviet union, khrushchevm made packs, so basically went in denial and started having open air bomb tests and looked like everything would be ok. if you look between 1963 and 1965, all the novels and films and people stopped talking about it and being in denial because the missiles were still there. right now the united states and russia have about 6,000 warheads and each side has about 1, 500 bombs that can be ready in an hour and ukrainian situation reminded people of things they didn't want to being about. host: let's play for viewers averil hanes on capitol hill this week talking about putin's potential use of a tactical nuclear weapon and here's what she had to say. >> folks that work with nuclear weapons today know tactical nuclear weapons have yields larger than what we saw at the end of world war ii. how concerned should we be about russia's potential use of a nuclear weapon in ukraine, what would that look like and what can we do to prevent that from happening, especially given how putin seems to be i

i think he has more power khrushchev. there are no major checks on the power we see right now with vladimir putin. that is a frightening spector. are there any generals that can rein him in? >> coming back to the speech, it was a missed opportunity last night. i was not as thrilled with the speech as some others seemed to be. i thought there was a real missed opportunity to speak to the people around putin. to basically send messages that he -- this was not just putin's war, but he was potentially leading this country over the cliff. they would not be allowed to prevail. if they continued one way or another, russian forces were not going to succeed in ukraine. we would determine over time to basically do there whatever needed to be done, as we did in afghanistan. i also would have sent a message to the russian people. all the brave people getting arrested, coming in the streets and saying, our problem is not with you, people of russia. russia is a great country. we want russia to be a part of europe and a part of the worl

is interesting, russia does have a precedent for an internal coup, the assassination of nikita khrushchevt president - in russian history. mark wonders if it is possible that president putin l it is possible that president putin wants a war with nato despite the likelihood of possibly turning into a nuclear war.— a nuclear war. justin alluded to that in his _ a nuclear war. justin alluded to that in his answer, _ a nuclear war. justin alluded to that in his answer, that - a nuclear war. justin alluded to that in his answer, that is - that in his answer, that is an interesting question. i think putin is used in nuclear threats so far in this conflict, he has reminded us that russia possesses nuclear weapons, and you have to ask what has this done for? my sense that it is done for brinksmanship, in order to scare your opponent or make your opponent think you are crazy and you mightjust do anything, including the use of nuclear weapons. and i think that is what putin is doing. he is reminding the world that russia is a nuclear power, that if you are not careful, it could actually destroy the
