state department, the cia and the nsa are joining in. in while the us state department is more receptive to the arguments of ukraine and many of its western allies, the pentagonhe us intelligence community are warning against using long-range weapons to strike deep into russian territory. it’s not that the pentagon has suddenly become a dove of peace, it’s just that there are still those there who are looking half a step ahead, that it’s not the first time, but if in afghanistan or iraq they got away with it, then in ukraine playing with matches threatens to cause global fires, a strategic dead end from which there is no way out. steroids can't get out, the journal emphasizes. biden's administration strategists are awfully similar to the recipe for another endless war, since it is not capable. for a while, this sounded naive, especially about 24 hours, but now, perhaps for the first time, not from outside experts or allies, but first-hand from trump's running mate jade vance, we can hear about the details of this plan. it probably looks something like this: the division will take place along the existing front line, ukraine retains sovereignty, russia receive

major themes is republicans of the criticized the white house and the state department and the acting ambassador to afghanistan for not heeding the warnings from the pentagon arguing that they should've had more of a plan sooner amid the evacuation plan in the days leading up to it. i think that is kind of a major theme they are going to lean into. they put this report out there to try to get it in the media. host: what is the covid test story? guest: the ambassadors her testimony from some of his staff that after the evacuation happened, the ambassador had tested positive for covid and proceeded to allegedly have a staffer take a test for him since he was still testing positive. host: this is ross wilson at the time. guest:guest: something that republicans are highly -- something that republicans are highly criticizing. that kind of further demonstrated with a field was a lack of leadership. guest: i reached out, he has not gotten back to me yet. host: this is kathy in pennsylvania, republican. you are up next. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i just want to know why congress was allowed to go on vacation with the looming shutdown of th
