, not stavridis, but stavridis, that’s how the generals said that the question of whether ukraine wille able to hold the front line now during this year depends to a large extent on whether the mobilization will be successfully carried out, whether there will be a solution to the issue of involving new men in first of all to the front, and we also see how the mobilization of the departure is taking place now, in lviv, for example, cadres have appeared, how about... last night they just packed up a person again in the city center, and it is obvious that this is not the kind of mobilization that can fulfill the task of attracting half a million new military personnel who will fight well and at the same time the economy will work, you actually you represent a military formation , which, as i understand it, is mostly formed from recruits, i.e. from people who voluntarily went to fight, so how... what is your position regarding mobilization and the fact that the law has not yet been adopted? my personal position is as follows: i i believe that every normal, sane citizen of ukraine, a man wh

joining us now, retired admiral james stavridis and co-author of a gripping new book "2054" a work ofrom the pages of today's news. it looks at ai, disinformation, and more just 30 years from now. admiral, we'll talk about the book in a second. let me ask you about israel. prime minister netanyahu is, you know, going full steam forward, at least rhetorically telling the ka in that case sit he's going to invade speaking to the senate republicans, trying to shore up support there, where he probably has a lot of support, and at the same time rejecting president biden's appeals that a full-scale invasion into rafah is not necessary, that you can get those hamas battalions another way, but netanyahu says, you know, they'll lose the war. so which is it? you're the military expert. can you get these hamas battalions out without causing, you know, mass casualties among civilians? >> yes, and that is the precise reason the pentagon is working with the israeli military to try and give them some advice and ideas, and we -- the united states military are deeply involved in urban warfare for the l

admiral stavridis, the question is to you.ernment finds itself in a very difficult position. wanting to support israel but not wanting to support bibi netanyahu's desperate attempt to stay in power at any cost. he knows once he's out of power, there's a chance he'll be going to jail. >> yeah. i found senator schumer's comments incredibly appropriate. yeah, we're not voters in israel, but we're friends of israel and friends give friends advice when we see friends headed in a bad direction. particularly because our weapons systems are being employed here, it's entirely appropriate. my view. for senator schumer who is uniquely positioned to do it as, if you will, the senior person of jewish faith in the government of the united states. so as i look at it, to kind of pick up the points he hit a moment ago, if the netanyahu government continues on its current course, four things are going to happen. none of them good. let's do it from the inside out. inside israel, there's going to be more turbulence, more anger. look at january 6t

. >> joining us tonight >> to talk about all of this is retired four-star admiral james stavridis, who served as the supreme allied commander of nato and is also the author of the new science fiction novel 2054 an admiral. i want to talk about your book in a moment, but just first on these comments from vladimir putin, i mean, this he's the second time in less than two weeks that he's starting this. what do you make of him saying this and why he's saying it now >> we all always ought to be concerned when the leader of a nuclear-armed state kind of rattles that nuclear saber. but i think it's highly unlikely vladimir putin will use a nuclear weapon number one, i despise vladimir putin, but i'll give him this. he loves his country, so he's not going to reach for the lever to the nuclear apocalypse and destroy russia. so let's kinda park that strategic exchange. number two, militarily to 600 mile battle front using tactical nuclear weapons not a very good proposition. militarily. and number three, kaitlan, he knows if he uses a nuclear weapon, india is gone, pakistan has gone, nigeria has

james stavridis, thank you very much.uthor, peter binart, and peter, october 7th, everything that happened on that day, before that day, after that day, must be marked as a grievous day in history and every moment would be documented and remembered. the atrocities, the questions. there's no question about the atrocities. the next point i'm about to make, it's not insinuating that. at the same time, through bombing or starvation, life is diminishing fast in gaza, and for president biden, i guess the question is, you know, you can't support that. you have to support trying to protect these civilians, and if you don't speak on it and act on it, is there a slight complicity here? >> yes. alex duval who's an expert on famine has said that no population since world war ii has been reduced to the brink of famine as fast as the population of gaza. the united states in the 1990s went to war in somalia. we sent our own troops in there to try to stop a starvation. this is a starvation that's happening faster, and you're right. tragi

joining me is the former supreme allied commander of nato, admiral james stavridis. >> this is the onlysee evan coming home. putin escalated the use of the detentions to try to secure the release of people that are his associates. you will with brittney griner, we had to release an arms dealer. it's hard to see any other pathway. he has escalated crackdowns at home, escalated what he is willing to do to people in prison. we saw navalny die in a prison. it's a tough call for the united states. we don't accept the idea that evan gershkovich is a spy and engaging in a spy swap validates the way they want to treat him. frankly, because we have done this swap with griner, there's just not that many people left for the united states to exchange. you get into a complicated three-way negotiation potentially with germany that probably doesn't want to be seen releasing somebody who committed murder on their soil on behalf of an american citizen. this is a complicated problem for the administration and a tragic circumstance for evan's family. >> admiral, get us in the thinking of vladimir putin in
