in sunday's release of milley's deposition transcript, milley confirms that conversation with pelosiaccurately. jen psaki, extraordinary testimony. and we keep getting more information. again, more information from people closest to donald trump. as much as insurrectionists, freaks and weirdos want to attack general milley now, those insurrectionists, freaks and weirdos, remember, he was brought on because he was considered to be a trumper, and the mistake that donald trump made was that general milley, like our men and women in uniform actually, well, they take their oath to the united states. they take it seriously. >> that's exactly right. joe, and look, i think you were just showing pictures of chairman milley, i have sat in a lot of meetings with him. if there were a movie about the military, he would have to play himself. he looks like a military leader, right, and that's exactly who he is. his job is to protect and prevent the use of military force from being used for purposes it shouldn't be essentially. that's not something that typically comes into play for a president beca

in referral to one of those former officials, milley said they said to bring him back to active duty, court martial them. i advised them not to do that. that's just deranged. that is the behavior of a tyrant. does it surprise you? >> no, and i worked with chairman milley at the department of defense and i'm grateful that he was constantly this block, roadblock against these terrible instincts by the former president. but it just goes to show, donald trump does not even understand the u.s. military that he oversaw, which is right now the most diverse force it's ever been in history, ideologically, racially. this idea that somebody who is in the military shouldn't be able to criticize him is absurd. that's something you would expect to see in the kremlin, not the united states. it's just another dot to remember in the long list of things that make him so unqualified to ever hold office again. >> you told the committee that the cia director at the time had a suicide pact with the entire intelligence community if trump actually fired her. you don't mean that literally, but career-wise, th

we know that mark milley met with the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zuluzny a few days ago, the meeting took place in poland, apparently they talked about the future of the russian-ukrainian war, the ukrainian military has great hopes for this meeting, because everyone is waiting for heavy weapons, everyone understands that for a decisive breakthrough at the front and heavy equipment is needed during this russian-ukrainian war. i saw how scholls spoke yesterday. he doubted that the leopards would come to ukraine. he referred to the fact that the americans should give permission for the transfer of abrams to ukraine. what do you think about tomorrow 's meeting at rammstein, will it be so decisive ? for the future of the russian-ukrainian war, won't these hopes of ours be in vain? the most accepted decision is that heavy weapons will be handed over to us, but there is simply no point in handing over them in insufficient quantities , and then they will hand over the right. more than one hundred armored cars, a-a arta, e-e, that we are ordering a certain amount o

committee of the chief of staff of the armed forces of the united states of america , general mark milley, we know that mark milley met with the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zulzhnym, a few days ago. the meeting took place in poland obviously talked about the future of the russian-ukrainian war. the ukrainian military has great hopes for this meeting, because everyone is waiting for heavy weapons. everyone understands that heavy equipment is needed for a decisive breakthrough on the front during this russian-ukrainian war. because the leopards will come to ukraine, he referred to the fact that the americans should give permission for the transfer of abrams to ukraine, what do you think about tomorrow 's meeting at rammstein, will it be like this decisive for the future of the russian-ukrainian war, will these hopes be in vain? the decision has already been taken. it simply does not make sense to transfer it in insufficient quantities later, and later they will transfer the right to so much how many do we need and approximately the positions that we are asking

to do that, and then another thing that really jumped out to me was that leading up to january 6th milleysecretary of state pompeo, and retired general, lieutenant general keith kellogg, they worried that america's adversaries would try to exploit the domestic instability across the country for their own purposes. this is something they had multiple conversations about, our adversaries would take advantage of the political instability and use that to their own advantages. >> everyone should certainly take a read. it is remarkable, tomorrow, the two-year anniversary of the capitol insurrection yet we are still learning really stunning revelations. pentagon reporter for "politico," laura seligman, thank you very much for joining us. >>> why donald trump's support might be hurting kevin mccarthy's bid to become house speaker. we'll dive into that. >>> and coming up on "morning joe," a third straight day of lawmakers trying to reach consensus. we're going to hear from republican congressmen frustrated with the faction of the party refusing to back mccarthy. and one of the 20 republicans who h

this comes one day after general mark milley visited the base in germany where the u.s. will carry out what's called combined arms training essentially maneuvers of larger groups of ukrainian troops, 500 a month or so according to the pentagon to improve their ability to retake their territory in ukraine. key to this of course, is what is coming at the end of the week. ukraine contact group where the u.s. and some 50 other countries will get-togethers to see what else is out there for ukraine. we've seen big announcements here. poland and finland have said they're ready to provide tanks. the u.k. said they will provide tanks and netherlands just announcing they're ready to send their own patriot battery. w w wolf? jake? >> 100 ukrainians arrived for how to use the patriot missile system. what do we know about this train sng. >> this is a training process that will take several months. the training has officially started after the ukrainian troops came in, a group of 90 to 100 of them this weekend. the question of course is how long will this take and that's an even more

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

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

then you heard general milley say, we're here to help liberate ukraine. we're still at least at a narrative where those two don't link up. >> congressman, according to "the washington post," one request he that ukraine has had when the caa director was over there briefing them on the analysis of where things are headed is continued concern over u.s. funding. if there is an end date, if it can dry up. stemming from mixed messages since republicans have taken the majority. do you think ukraine has a reason for concern here. >> think they have a reason for concern. it is not panic. leave appropriated money through the end of the fiscal year, there is a lot of fighting between now and then. there is still stocks of equipment and ways to get ukraine stuff. but yeah, i mean, the strangest thing to me is watching some on the far left and far right link up in their opposition to ukraine and support for what russia is doing. and using their kind of minority position enabling to block things to say we're not going to fund ukraine any more. i don't understand it. i

of the united states said after the ramstein eight meeting at the same time, american general mark milley noted that the war between russia and ukraine, like many wars in the past, will end at the negotiating table until the terms for peace will be determined between the leaders of both countries. for this, the united states, allies and partners are strengthening ukraine's position. the weapons provided will help to move into a counteroffensive from liberation. territories captured by russia, ukraine will be able to increase its tactical potential and maneuverability. i believe that it will be quite possible for the ukrainians to conduct an important offensive operation of tactical or even at the operational level in order to free as much ukrainian territory as possible. valentin glynykh, a political scientist, joins our night broadcast valentina. we congratulate you. good night. we are glad to see you here. we will also add a statement from the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy varshikov, who says that ukraine has already agreed on the training of its tanker crews on german leopard

army general mark milley, chairman of the us joint chief of staff. do you think that that played a role? i wish that i thought that. um but i don't think that, i mean putin at any point if he were interested in talking to the west talking to the u s. um could there's regular exchanges between you know, the highest levels. also the defense minister, secretary of defense and defense minister um level so the doors are open when they want to talk. um i don't think i don't think this move was about that. i think this move is you know trying trying someone a to have a new fall guy and be maybe to have a better strategy because certainly the current one hasn't been very successful i mean all this discussion over whether we will see a change in russian military strategy that comes after russia has been bombarding city across ukraine and critical civilian infrastructure you might have recently seen that leveling of an apartment block full of residents during a major missile attack on new pro now following that attack in his evening video address, ukrainian pr

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

rammstein 8 meeting stated the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states, general mark milley, at the same time he noted that russia's war against ukraine, like many wars in the past, will end at the negotiating table, where the conditions for peace will be determined between the leaders of both countries, for this the united states, allies and partners are strengthening the position of ukraine weapons will help to move into a counteroffensive from the liberation of territories captured by russia, ukraine will be able to increase its tactical potential. i believe that maneuverability will be quite possible for ukrainians to carry an important offensive operation at the tactical or even operational level to liberate as much ukrainian territory as possible. 200 armored vehicles will be provided to ukraine by canada's minister of defense ani and anant. in addition, the country previously announced that it was buying a self-propelled anti-aircraft missile system for ukraine for $406 million . assured that the military aid will arrive as soon as possible. i will remind you that las

final press - conference representatives of the united states, american minister rostin and general milley, this is what they said, let's listen, i think you heard what the german minister of defense said earlier about the supply of single-armed tanks there steelepards have no connection with each other, and i think that his statement was quite clear and understandable. at this meeting, we focused on making sure that ukraine has the ability to be successful now, dear ones, from a military point of view. i still maintain that this year will be very, very it is difficult to reject the russian troops with the occupied territories of ukraine this does not mean that it cannot happen or that it will not happen but it will be very, very difficult to do in my opinion what can happen continuation of defense stabilization front and it is quite possible to do it. it depends on the supply of weapons and equipment to ukraine. i really believe that it is quite possible to improve the tactical and even operational level of the ukrainians to launch an offensive operation to win back as much ukrainian terr

the sun reported this, citing sources in american intelligence, as noted by american general mark milley, the indicated number of losses includes both armed forces of the russian federation and the group of mercenaries of the wagner pvc, i will remind you that according to the general staff of the armed forces of russia, the total losses of russia exceeded 120,000 people last friday alone. our defenders eliminated 860 russian soldiers. the united states will apply new sanctions against the private military company wagner and its soldiers fighting in ukraine will be added to the list of international criminal organizations, white house spokesman for national security john kirby announced . 000 fighters of the wagner pvk 10,000 mercenaries from 40,000 former prisoners according to the american administration, the wagnerites perform the kremlin's most delicate tasks ukraine can liberate crimea by the end of 2023 year, benhodje, the former commander of the us forces in europe, believes that it is possible if the west provides the armed forces with the necessary weapons , the retired american

. >> reporter: but general mark milley emphasized with the right weapons and training, ukraine can still launch a widespread counteroffensive in spring. and the u.s. will designate the russian paramilitary group wagner as a transnational criminal organization releasing satellite images sent to show the group receiving a shipment of arms from north korea. on the ukrainian front line, the men of the bohun special forces brigade refused to give up hope, believing they can win, as long as the west keeps sending them weapons. but for all the promises of high-tech firepower, there is no shortcut when comes to digging in against the enemy. is it difficult to build trenches when the ground is frozen?" "it's very hard," major chekan told us. "it's rock-solid ice with constant rain and snow." this is trench warfare fought in subzero temperatures. and there's a lot of territory to defend. this one is just near the russian border. the commander and his platoon have been fighting in the country's east, where ukrainian soldiers are preparing to defend against a surge in russian attacks. deep below thi

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

these meetings separately next week, the secretary austin and chairman of the joint chiefs general milley will travel to germany to host the ukraine defense contact group at ramstein air base. the contact group has been instrumental in identifying synchronizing and ensuring delivery of the military capabilities. the ukrainians need to defend their homeland against russian aggression. the secretary looks forward to meeting with defense leaders from the approximately 50 nations that comprise this important group dedicated to ukraine self defense. also, as was briefly highlighted last week during the announcement of the most recent presidential drawdown authorization. i can confirm that training for ukrainian forces on the patriot air defense system will begin as soon as next week at fort sill oklahoma. the training will prepare approximately 90 to 100 ukrainian soldiers to operate, maintain and sustain the defensive system over a training course expected to last several months. once fielded, the patriot will continue to control. excuse me will contribute to ukraine's air defense capabilitie

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

and third, of course, you saw secretary alston and chairman millie -- milley at the eighth iteration of the ukrainian contact group, we continue to provide weapons that it needs to defend itself. you saw a significant new package of security systems, which included more than 500 armored vehicles including stryker combat vehicles, mine resistant ambush vehicles and humvees. all in addition to the armored vehicles we have already announced. this package contains critical additional air defense capabilities including both the more air defense systems and surface to air missiles as well as more ammunition for the artillery systems and hi-mars the u.s. is previously provided to ukraine. we have been clear and the president has been consistent. we will continue to support ukraine for as long as it takes to defend itself, its sovereignty and territorial integrity. you saw those actions today, and everything we are doing is well with respect to north korea and wagner reinforces those efforts. >> i will take a couple of questions. >> can you explain with the practical effect is of the designa

austin and milley know that and advise the president and give it to them and let them lead the fight.ke a matter of time. it has been an argument and debate and eventually granted. the pentagon is operating that the abrams tanks operate on jet fuel that make it more difficult. the latest contribution is not insignificant. eight air defense systems. 60 bradley infantry fighting vehicles. 90 striker apc. mine resistant vehicles aened on and on it goes. it is a lot. you have been there for a week and spend another week there. what is your evaluation of where the war is today? what have you learned? >> i think what i've learned is this. i've been able to talk to a lot of people and seen places. sur real. you go where the war hasn't affected anybody and this morning we're in the spear point of the russian invasion and talking to people there and military as well. if i had to look at it this way a simple answer. the ukrainian military is on a trajectory and winning the fight in the field. the russian army is flat. they have lost their best systems and units. their best units are mauled. i t

you had general milley calling a chinese general and telling him, don't worry, this virus -- whatever. it seems to me that -- tyranny -- >>, anthony let me pause there and get professor hochman to chat about that a little bit. i don't know if you're familiar with that specific case, but the nsa in general? >> i'm not familiar with this specific case that the caller refers to. but this charge that the caller is making, of wiretapping and electronic surveillance as a form of tyranny, this is an old refrain. and was a refrain that was once mainstream an american political culture. this is the kind of position against electronic surveillance conducted either via private citizens or the government that animated both the right and the left for about a century. we live in a very different political age and those positions have, i think, been pushed somewhat to the margins. the caller is also referring to, i believe, at&t's listening room. room 606 or 612, in the fulsome street at&t switching station in san francisco. this was discovered in, i believe, 2006 or 2007 as a result of a whistleblo

we heard this from president zelenskyy, we heard this from general milley.quick with these decisions and get these capabilities as soon as possible to save lives, but also faster to get to peace, which is very important for all of nus in europe. >> you need those battle tanks to preempt a major russian offensive in the spring. the united states is formally designating the wagner group as a transnational criminal organization. how far will that go, ambassador, what impact will that have on the battlefield in ukraine? >> well, first of all, those thugs are criminals and they have already been doeesignated u.s. during the previous year and sanctioned by the u.s. whatever designation we can add to that, and clearly isolate them. but not only them, isolate and designate russia as a terrorist aggressor. i think it's very needed to do so. as you know, ukraine formally initiated the suspension of russia's seat at the security council in the u.n. i think this is time and the year, if russia does not stop their aggressive actions and their war crimes, we have to be mo

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

general milley and miller were talking about the 3rd and 4th about violence coming to d.c., yet theyn the national guard. >> pelosi called for your r rem removal. was that warranted? >> i don't think it was. on january 6th i did everything i could to protect members of congress. i brought in 1,700 additional law enforcement officers. >> can you weigh in on republican plans for security coming in? what is your reaction to that? >> the public access points, this is known as the people's house. when we began to shut down because of covid and we shut down the congressional visitor center, re-opening those, i can see them wanting to do that. the big concern i have is the officers are way overworked and under staffed. that's my concern. >> the book is "courage under fire." thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >>> up next we're hearing from former president trump who is weighing in on the chaos that happened on capitol hill yesterday. what he thinks should happen and whether or not he's still backing kevin mccarthy. >>> we'll also hear from damar hamlin's teammate who was there when the

will: pete: i wonder if general milley called up the chinese after that, don't worry. don't worry.od. we're good. the other big part of this equation, will, domestic political will. rachel: exactly. pete: shut down our basic antibiotics, or if they were to shut down microchips or if they were to shut -- any number of things we rely on china from, put the squeeze on, are we really capable, let alone a military confrontation? rachel: that is it what we were trying to address under trump, some of those issues. i don't think we're prepared militarily or even these other ways they can attack us. will: we'll turn to additional headlines. cpb sources v. vealing, about are 300,000 known got-aways. this is the only number of migrants officials were able to spot at the border october 1st of this year. 2450 migrants are crossing the border every day. this make as grand total of southwest border encounters over 71thousand so far. -- 717,000. >>> fox weather alert. dangerous arctic front bringing freezing conditions to the northern plains, upper midwest. whiteout forcing multiple road closers a

and third, of course, you saw secretary alston and chairman millie -- milley at the eighth iterationf the ukrainian contact group, we continue to provide weapons that it needs to defend itself. you saw a significant new package of security systems, which included more than 500 armored vehicles including stryker combat vehicles, mine resistant ambush vehicles and humvees. all in addition to the armored vehicles we have already announced. this package contains critical additional air defense capabilities including both the more air defense systems and surface to air missiles as well as more ammunition for the artillery systems and hi-mars the u.s. is previously provided to ukraine. we have been clear and the president has been consistent. we will continue to support ukraine for as long as it takes to defend itself, its sovereignty and territorial integrity. you saw those actions today, and everything we are doing is well with respect to north korea and wagner reinforces those efforts. >> i will take a couple of questions. >> can you explain with the practical effect is of the designati

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
