naval war college. we were an academic. we are in academic institution. and as long as i indicated that i wasn't speaking for the institution i was able to express myself as i wished. so no, there won't be some unplugged version of my views but and certainly my views in this book are undiluted and unvarnished tom nichols you talk about illiberal democra us a bac liberal democracy and illiberal democracy definition and why illiberal democracy plays a role in your book? absolutely. i think people have gotten it into their heads that democracy simply means the majority always wins. we don't we are not a majoritarian democracy that way our constitution is founded on liberal small l century the 18th century tolerance. equality for the law rule of law secularism and so that a liberal democracy makes sure that even while people vote to do things that there are constitutional guardrails around what they vote to do that cannot contravene certain eternal principles that we all agree are part of our society and illiberal democracy is one that just says when enough p

coastal troops also marched in full dress, including cadets of the far eastern naval schools, students of educational institutionsthe ministry of emergency situations and the ministry of internal affairs, students of military-patriotic clubs and juniors. there are a few more trainings ahead of us, the dress rehearsal scheduled in vladivostok on may 7th. by now, it 's all good to see you. georgy medvedev is in direct contact with us now war correspondent, he was just on the line of contact. as far as we know george tell us the details of where you were, what you saw all right. just got back from esenovatoy. it still remains, probably, one of the most difficult directions on the line. donbass kalfta, the city in the first place, its residential quarters, all areas are under massive fire from the ukrainian army, and this morning the city was fired from multiple launch rocket systems, and cluster munitions were also used fortunately. there there were no casualties, but again there is destruction . numerous destruction occurs every day. talked to people. many say that they managed to survive the fourteenth fifteenth y

i'm joined now by michael b petersen, director of the russia maritime studies institute at the center for navalith you. if ukraine did sink the ship, as they claim, something we haven't been able to verify, just how do they do it and have the ability to sink? this is a massive warship talking about. yes, it really is a big ship and it is an open question as to exactly how they managed to pull this off. i will say first of all the material condition of all the material condition of the moskva maybe was not exactly up to snuff, maybe not up exactly up to snuff, maybe not up to what should have been. moskva as you've pointed out is a very old warship and was even catered for decommissioning a few years ago until the russians decided to put her back to see. i like to joke that moskva is held together by paint and it may not be altogether untrue. so on one sense it's material condition of the ship and secondly it's just very difficult to conduct our defence against a modern antiship crews missile. these are ukrainian missiles that were indigenously built in ukraine and appearto were indigenously bui

. >> now former naval intelligence officer and overseer of stanford's hoover institution john jordan . john, always a pleasure to have you with us. i don't want to disrespect, but mr. kirby had to say there but i'm just curious how do we know that that's true when he says things like it appears that they are depleted? what kind of intelligence might we have that could prove that what we're looking at satellite intelligence signal intelligence as we're able to overhear a lot of their conversations? this is very much like the 40 mile convoy that was supposed to overtake very quickly. but as we recall, it melted into the snow and just went away and became a non-issue. and i think i've been alone in cable news certainly as far as i'm aware talking about exactly the extent of the rot in the russian army there in general is doing the work captains and majors and we're almost in a hitler in the bunker type situation where officers are afraid of being shot from behind as much as they are in front of them. you know, when you're talking about calling up reservists, that's one thing when you're

institute for the study of war and former vice chief of staff of the u.s. army. so, general keane, thank you for joining us. odesa is a key black seaport, ukraine's main naval base. why else is this a focus for russian forces? >> let me get that if in a second though ask make sure we we truly understand what has happened here. battle for kyiv is over. and the -yard line requestens have won a -- ukrainians have won a decisive victory against russia's main effort. we can confirm from satellite coverage that the limited counterattacks ukrainians were doing have succeeded. but the russians have made a decision to retrograde and withdraw completely from the kyiv area, and that is ongoing. and chernihiv also there's at least a partial withdrawal going on, and it may be a complete withdrawal as we have seen in kyiv. and look at, this is very significant. russia came in here with a much-advertised, profession professional military as good as any in the world, and they attacked the capital i city of ukraine. and they did that with combined arms, ground forces supported by heavy artillery and also supported by some of the most sophisticated aircraft in the world, and
