extremely important meeting between the main leading generals, the commander of the alkaline and mark milleyng took place in poland , we know very little about the specifics of this meeting, but whatever you think it could mean, this is an amazing symbolic meeting, if not to say more, we will remember the beginning of the russian invasion as everyone was careful about the signals and wanting to make it clear that putin should not claim that nato is somehow an adversary in this war, in part it was is related to fears that putin may escalate the conflict and use nuclear weapons, and partly to the fact that if it looks as if nato is really at war with russia, then putin will have more reason to claim that he had no choice but to invade ukraine about that i am sure we will talk now. so, at the beginning of the war, such a meeting between the military leaders of the usa, poland and ukraine was truly politically unthinkable, now it is happening and demonstrates that, in particular , the military leadership of these two great countries nato and ukraine are coordinating their actions operationally a

well, when following the results of this meeting, lloyd austin and american general mark milley also went to the press, traditionally they reported what they had agreed upon, the very first question from journalists that they heard was about the supply of tanks to ukraine, the head of the pentagon actually said that you should have heard the minister defense of germany, who previously said that the decision on the provision of leopard tanks had not been made. well, he also said that he could not add anything about the supply of abrams tanks. they also asked how reliable it could be . germany's partner based on the fact that today's meeting ended with rammstein and told luit autumn that in his opinion germany is doing enough to demonstrate real leadership. well, but when he was clarified, e agreed that we can all do more, this is a quote from austin, he also said that all allies are focused on helping ukraine to be more successful on the battlefield, he said that there is a window of opportunity between now and spring and clarified that this is not the case and it takes a lot of time

general mark milley, the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, toward a base in germany as pentagon advisors began training about 500 ukrainian troops including artillery, tanks, and missiles. it came just days after british prime minister rasheed sunak said the u.k. would ship advanced tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles to ukraine, becoming the first western nation to supply such offensive weaponry. on sunday, nato secretary-general -- other allies will follow suit. meanwhile, german defense minister has resigned amidst mounting criticism from some nato members over the aide. >> what does it say about the future? we know germany needs a strong military defense industry. amy: lester, the gman chancellor pledged to spend over $100 billion to expand germany's military. in afghanistan, armed men shot and killed former member of parliament mursal nabizada on sunday in an assault on her home in kabul. one of nabizada's bodyguards was killed in the attack, which also left her brother and another guard injured. nabizada was elected in 2019 to represent kabul and remained in office until the tal

joint chief chairman, mark milley, in november 2022, is a stark warning. >> it was a history of war, the history of mankind. >> it extends into space, but the space race is just between the u.s., and russia. >> they had leap frogged russia, launching more rockets to the u.s. in 2022. completing the orbiting space station, and in the far side of the moon. >> it adapts the fastest, and it innovates the most. that country will have a decisive advantage at the beginning of a war. which, i suspect, will happen at some point, in time, in the deep future. >> let's go to space because it's in our dna. >> yielded grass tyson, the best known astrophysicist. >> the u.s., and china, and is engaged to the new race across the lunar surface. how do you see this play out? >> we've already been there. in that sense, it's not a race. however, that we don't have the capacity to which is back, and it is a race when it is run anymore. because american pride, china gets there before us there is trying to bruises a little. they say, okay, it is a geopolitical decision, so yes, let's go for it. >> using inf

that is what you heard from chairman of the joint chiefs mark milley telling reporters he believes it will be difficult for ukraine to eject russia from all territory. that's the context u.s. officials are making this december se decision on the abrams. >> in that context, what specifically will ukraine try to accomplish in the short run, in the short term in the coming months, let's say, with the german leopard battle tanks and eventually, the u.s. abrams ta tanks arrivarriving? >> their hope is to take back tech tory. they don't want to wrestle or sue for peace and grant territory in exchange for peace. dp you heard from the defense minister. you heard the tanks will be part of an offensive to punch through russian lines and we should not diminish ukraine 's defense around their advance there but the fact is the battle field in the east is different now. it's more dug in. it's flat lands there are frencfr french. we seen the casualty count horrific. those are the hopes. we hope it makes a difference. from the u.s. perspective, they don't expect this to be winding down any time soon.

we also have mark milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.ing ukrainian forces who are being trained there by u.s. troops. and the consistent message from ukrainian officials is what kristen was mentioning from the white house a moment ago. that the western powers need to send weapons now to head off any future russian offensive. they fear vladimir putin is regrouping his forces and preparing to attack, possibly here in kyiv as he tried and failed at the beginning of the war. more likely in the east. ukraine says it needs weapons now to be ready for a weapons onslaught. >> raf, thank you. evelyn, the uk ministry of defense believed they used the anti-ship missile. what's your reaction to that? >> right. it sounds like clearly the russians are using very expensive missiles to hit civilians, and they don't want the ukrainian air defenses to succeed. because the ukrainians have probably surprised the russians be being able to knock down the iranian drones. in the past several months, they are looking for ways to continue to terrorize regular ukr

we, being myself, attorney general barr and mark milley, are pushing back on this notion about the use of active duty forces and i'm kind of talking about the historical precedent, in my mind, about what that would mean. the damage it would do to the institution. the damage it would do to the country. and trying to explain to the president, we should -- if we're going to use the military at all, we should use the national guard and we should use them in the context of supporting law enforcement, right? that's how the national guard best performs its role. a lot of historical examples to do this. but we reach this point in the conversation and the president calms down, behind the desk in the oval, and he leans over and looks forward really at mille and he asks -- he makes a suggestion in the form of a question. he says, can't we just shoot them? just shoot them in the legs or something? and what he's proposing is that the military shoot the protesters to kind of quell the protests. needless to say we're all taken aback. by this. and, you know, i remember the documentaries of what happen

chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley visited the training site to oversee some of the exercisesd. 500 ukrainian soldiers are being trained on combined arms warfare which layers the use of artillery and combat vehicles. at the same time, a group of ukrainian soldiers have also arrived stateside in oklahoma. there they will focus on patriot air defense training taught by the same instructors who teach both u.s. soldiers and our european allies. the training in the u.s. is expected to take several months. joining us now, senior coalitions adviser for concerned veterans for america, retired master sergeant jason beardsley, a decorated combat veteran. thank you for being here this morning. feels like a bit of a new moment with the allies of kyiv, sending tanks, new equipment. we know the patriots are going over there as well as the new training efforts in oklahoma and germany. what sort of impact do you think it will have? >> it's a great impact. it's hard to do in the middle of the war. it's great to see the allies stepping up. this is in their neighborhood, their backyard. they hav

coming the next week or so in europe, lloyd austin defense secretary joint chief of staff german mark milleyl be there for this talk about setting abrams tanks, great britain said they are sending 14 of their tanks. germany should make a decision later this week. should we, can we send more tanks? what will it take for vladimir putin to lose? >> that is a hard question for sure, both of those were the first one is just because we can do something doesn't mean we should. one of my concerns we are selling or giving away some of our most high tech weapons system into a country whose government is externally corrupt as well put those systems are already making it into multiple other nations around the world on the black market. and so there's a lot of advantage the west holds in technology and training that many ways were just giving it away right now. that is one of my concerns. the other issue is of course, what does it take to defeat russia? it is conceivable the punishment methods they are using now missiles and indirect attacks, can be slow down and almost eliminate through something like t

general mark milley says russians suffered well over 100,000 casualties since the war began nearly a year ago. >>> new this morning. u.s. officials believe russian intelligence agents ordered a white supremacist group to carry out a letter bombing campaign last year that terrified the city of madrid. the group targeted spain's prime minister, the american and ukrainie ian embassies and the spanish defense minister. what have you learned? >> reporter: late last year, a terrifying set of incidents that happened in spain. as you said, these letter bombs were targeting the spanish prime minister, the ukrainian and american embassies in spain as well as the spanish defense ministry and we're learning that u.s. officials believe that russian intelligence officers directed a russian white supremacist group, the mrussian impreer movement to carry out that campaign and deemed to be a terrorist group by the united states. that designation was given in 2020, but there is still sort of some questions about the direction and the operation that carry out this campaign and the direct ties to russia

gillian: chairman of the joint chiefs general milley, mark milley says he's not entirely optimistic aboutinians in the next year. >> from a military standpoint, i maintain for this year, it would be very, very difficult to militarily eject the russian forces from all, every inch of ukrainian occupied-- or russian-occupied ukraine. that doesn't mean it can't happen, that it won't happen, but it would be very, very difficult. gillian: that's at odds with what president zelenskyy has saying for months. >> he's quite right. we've seen that the plans for the russian troops for the nearest future, that's to take the whole donetsk region under the occupation and under russian control, yes, they are quite right, but it will depend and exclusion found on the battlefield. ukrainians do not rely or believe, do not trust to any diplomatic negotiations and i think that even if someone tries to start those negotiations we'll be just not accepted by all ukrainians. the price was so high to pay for this 10 months. for sure, all of ourselves seive or counter offensive will be on the battlefield and for su

the chairman of the joint chiefs, general mark milley, calling it a bloody war for both sides but for russia -- >> it's turning into an absolute catastrophe. >> reporter: officials expect putin to throw more troops into the fight and have an expected offensive in the coming weeks. ukraine pleading for tanks to fend them off. this ukrainian tank commander operating near bakhmut saying his tanks are useless. but with modern western tanks he said ukraine would be unstoppable. so far only the uk agreeing to send tanks. bakhmut is a city in the east that has become a slaughterhouse for both sides. this volunteer u.s. medic sharing this video, his team running through no-man's-land to tend to a wounded ukrainian soldier. paralyzed but alive. a canadian volunteer showing me this video of evacuating three people last week. >> that's ours. >> reporter: he describes the sprints across sniper's alleys. the destruction uninterrupted. >> the schools, the places i have been. holes in the ground as deep your erhesce. it's like a movie. >> bad movie. >> yes, it's really bad. really bad. >> reporter:

you have a new story out in which you reviewed the 300-page transcript of chairman mark milley's depositioneaways from what you read? >> reporter: so this interview contains some of the most explosive comments of any interview the committee has done so far and i really was shocked by this. so one of the most -- the most notable things he said was he was so alarmed by the events of january 6th that he ordered his staff to collect boatloads of documents so they could be archived for future investigations and he even went to extraordinary lengths to classify them at the highest levels so only those who needed them will actually get to see them. another thing he said was that officials in the trump administration actually discussed recalling and court-martialing retired military officers who wrote editorials that were critical of the president and milley said he advised them not to do that, and then another thing that really jumped out to me was that leading up to january 6th milley said that he and other top national security officials, secretary of state pompeo, and retired general, lieutenan

even the white house said, mark milley, general milley and others. that is unlikely for either side, so knowing that both sides are likely not going to be able to achieve those two games, we have to look very smartly because the longer this protracted more of this we see. >> when i hear national security experts say that if putin is behind, this it's a war crime. that sounds awful. but at this point it sure seems like that guy blows his nose at that. he doesn't care. >> well he's had a lot of time -- we have a really quick to curb that. the annexation of crimea, back in 20, 14 under annexation's who's done. he's proving that he's willing to push, it was important to remember beast of strategic partners, we have international partners that are involved in this. it's good to see britain coming on, board with supplies ammunitions, we've heard from our own defense department department, that we are at about risk time with the munitions to ukraine, so we have to be very careful, the best way to get them to the table is to enforce behind the scenes. it's n
