let's get reaction from susan rice. she served as president obama's national security advisor and as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations ambassador. thanks so much for joining us on this third anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. president trump is now suggesting the war could end within weeks. his words. how realistic is that? >> i don't think it's very realistic. >> particularly if. >> it is not a negotiated settlement that involves ukraine, whose fate is at stake at the negotiating table alongside our european partners. and thus far, donald trump seems to be ruling that out. but the bigger picture here is that there isn't going to be a settlement of this war that seems likely to preserve ukraine's sovereignty. uh, it's going to require ukraine, it sounds like, to give up large chunks of its story having been invaded by a hostile aggressor. russia. um, there are no security guarantees on the horizon for ukraine, though president macron today said repeatedly how essential that is. uh, and meanwhile, we're

ambassador susan rice is here. ambassador, just your initial reaction to to this long rumored news, but now confirmed that the president has ousted the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. >> well, caitlin, this is a very dangerous moment. this was an unprecedented action by the president. recall that general c.q. brown was appointed by president trump to be the air force chief. he's got 40 years of experience. he served in three critical theaters europe, the middle east, and asia. he's highly qualified and been highly effective. admiral. frank kelly, the the chief of naval operations, a highly, highly qualified, uh, general officer, had served as as vice chief and ousted for no reason. there's a pattern here. and frank and pete hegseth said the quiet part out loud. these people are being fired simply by virtue of being female or people of color. and it's outrageous. it's dangerous. it's an unprecedented politicization of the military, and it's going to have very, very serious ramifications for the integrity of o

uh it was, um, susan rice were pushing obama and it was a i think you need to look it up. it is commands, it is the amount of a let's go to buy them. story is best to prevent it. it is, it is clearly so that the battle, you don't like to say go with the new national defense. the national director of national intelligence is that she's been crazy, decided to translate into i'm not happy with that. yes. tell me, why did they tell me why you think that as well her trip to syria was a very good example of meeting with the side and then lying about how the meeting was set up and who was at the meeting. and she's denied that the russians were using a fighter aircraft in syria. and she repeated russian propaganda about the united states providing uh by a warfare instrumentation to ukraine. she's gone all over the lot, ideologically. i don't know what she really stands for, to turn over the intelligence community of 18 different agencies. this $82000000000.00 budget is just nonsense and it's just one of the miserable appointments. trump is made. whether you look at cash or tell an
