i don't agree with investor michael mcfall and much, but -- the ambassador much, but there is a pieceng three for military people and a commission are tasked with military equipment purchases. there is no conflict diplomatic figure tasked at this moment to try to find a dual tract way to end this war which is ravaging ukraine and ravaging russia. and those who are serving are the poor, the provincial men come in the elites --which is what this dangerous figure promotion is trying to make a out of come are doing pretty well. many of the elites. this is a difficult time internally into addition what is happening this country, afflicting the mindset of cancel . i think this is madness. president kennedy's words are those of a sober person, a president. he gave that speech on the floor of the capital. -- if he gave a speech on the floor of the capitol, he would be run off. which is what we need to return to sanity and restraint and a diplomatic -- war should be the very last resort, which is not the case. amy: katrina vanden heuvel, thank you for been with us, publisher of "the nation" ma

ambassador of russia, michael mcfall says, now this is a civil war in russia, anita.e've heard that these mercenaries are moving unopposed to moscow. and they've taken rostov-on-don, 60 miles from the military district where the war has run. this is not a popular war in russia despite the kremlin's best efforts to spin it. let's look at the recent casual casualty figures told to fox, 50,000, over 180,000 wounded in action, russian husbands and boyfriend, now former defense secretary mark esper spoke earlier about the war with neil cavuto. >> it's a serious issue and ripples in multiple ways. it impacts the war in ukraine. if wagner leaves the battlefield you lose a tenacious and capable force. of course, there's this, what putin calls the armed rebellion against his rule. although it more about prigozhin versus the defense minister sergei shoigu. >> and vladimir putin 23 years of rule in russia, russia processes the largest stock pile of nuclear weapons and that's concerning here in langley and the pentagon. >> you mentioned so far 50,000 russians soldiers have been l

here's mcfall.rform one play, it hangs in terms of the united states as a superpower, which actually controls everything, they do not notice that the situation. it went a little, because after these 14 days, which now has a question. and why stuffiness? and what does nato know how to do, because in fact, the ukrainian army is a product nato-certified is some kind of nato project, where nato, in general, fired its strategic responses in order to be implemented and if they did not move forward, in general, a reasonable question that arose for that and the europeans did not become a vein. and as a matter of fact, ah to the united states and what was it and why, so that this question does not arise, they now need to close it with a non-nuclear weapon, that is , it’s easy to transfer to double the stakes, because then the war is still sleeping, everything is very simple, yes, i.e. when you double the bets, sort of like the previous ones the loss is reset. yes, that is, ukraine blocked the us flight from
