u. s. troops that are not being sent to ukraine. u. s. has committed not to fight directly in ukraine. they're being sent to nato allies are a sign of support, and i think they're supposed to provide reassurance, but they're not anything that truly changes the military dynamic situation on the ground. and they're not going to fight in ukraine, they're going to be sent to ukraine. but today's announcement is really all about ukraine, isn't it? that there is this fear? and we just heard from a member of the polish parliament this evening, that if there were to be an invasion of ukraine by russia, that, that conflict would spill over into one of the native neighbors. how concerned are you that that could actually happen? well, that's certainly a very significant concern. if you think of the size of your brain as a country, you think it's possession. you also think about russian military hardware and troops have been moved into the other rooms. you can see that the regional security dynamic is changing in europe. and you know, i think it's imperative that washington, reassure its allies. bu

u. s. are deploying right now, is not the, i'm not the only number. the troops are at the eastern flank of the european union . they already troops stationed in poland, in lithuania and law. we are, and in estonia, because business read the east and flung the european union close to battle, roost close to russia. and they have been stationed there since the annexation of crimea a couple of years ago. and to those trips that is that true presence and, and in fact the increased troop presence from the u. s. assuage fears on the european side. i mean, how have eastern european countries been responding? it's in europe in countries are in general, a very fearful when it comes to what they call a russian publication. and in poland, for example, the moot is very positive to words, nato, and 2 words. u. s. troops. i said they're already troops stationed there, and i ones are traveled to to poland. i'm too close to the border with a you crow too close to the border with better bruce and colleen and grab the rush, next clave and there people told me they are ve

u. s. troops are going to ukraine. now that will offer little comfort on either side of the atlantic to night. the threat of war in ukraine, despite official denials from the kremlin, is real. and the threat of that military conflict spilling over into a native country is just as real to another day. another increase intention over ukraine. the u. s. is sending 2000 soldiers to poland and germany, while another 1000 move from germany to romania. the current situation demands that we reinforce the deterrent and defensive posture on nato's eastern flank. president biden has been clear that the united states will respond to the growing threat to europe's security and stability. our commitment to nato article 5 and collective defense remains ironclad. the pentagon made it clear that no us soldiers will fight in ukraine. he did ukrainian president vladimir zalinski said diplomacy comes 1st, but no options are off the table. me. we only think about t some with we only think about the return of our occupied territories and on

u. s. are those countries include turkey now into their so called east mediterranean, a gas form and to it? and so it, so it is, it is you have what things of input are of more predictable and pretty unpredictable actions of add one for some. suddenly he uses his drones and merchant reese in the caucasus, that is against western interest. when you support it as a by john or he is disturbing situations in libya when you're sending a merchant aries and drones to the western part of, of, of libya. and thirdly, with, with syria, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's very risky policy there, you know, and, and to a different degree, does the west does nato, does europe need for everyone to stay in power simply because he keeps turkey stable. you know that old, that old quote that is often said about a u. s. president, who referred to a certain a latin american dictator as he may be. and then he used to swear bird, but he's our own. no, no, belinda, i'd no, melinda, i'd, i think europe and the u. s. are l

u. s. are also now frozen. we will limit russia's ability to do business in dollars. euro's pounds and yen export controls to curtail russian high tech imports are also being opposed to cripple russia's military and high tech capabilities. the moves are backed by top, congressional democrats, like senate leaders, chuck sure, who condemned russia invasion and pledge support for ukraine. ukrainians are tough and resilient. i know they will not give up their country. they will fight fiercely for it. but senate republican leader mitch mcconnell is blaming biden for the crisis. i think the precipitous withdrawal from afghanistan in august was a signal to put and maybe to chinese president, she as well. that america was in retreat across america, demonstrators protested kittens invasion after a generation of fighting in iraq and afghanistan. most americans are war weary. in a recent poll just 26 percent of americans support the u. s. playing a major role in the russian ukraine conflict. binding has promised us troops

u. s. sholtes reiterated that military aggression against ukraine would have a high cost for russia. germany's nato allies, including the u. s. are unhappy with berlin's refusal to provide ukraine with defensive weapons, but shall stress that the decision is in line with a long standing german policy on arm sales. the bonus will gillham's for years the german government has followed the clear course of not delivering to crisis owns on not delivering lethal weapon to ukraine. philmont forget that was my predecessors policy. it was right then and remains right by the way. and this is really important to me that the majority of german see it exactly as i do as the government does. and as my predecessor delegating says he does, but not everyone sees it that way and their voices are very loud at the moment of mine. but my duty is to do what in the interest of the german people, and what in this case is also the view of the citizens of this country on the longest. while it is a start of an intense week of diplomacy over ukraine, russia attention, let's bring in our political correspondence. nina has a i, nina. so the white house is say

u. s. are still is still a reliable partner. when the occupant of the white house was a different one, a few years down the line. we're sitting here, we're talking about is germany, a reliable partner? i was just wondering what is happening here and present biden really had to defend his partner here of shawls against those questions of the journalist saying that of course germany has all the trust it needs from the u. s. so, but that was quite remarkable. and then of course, with that really pressing question, and there was a lot of pressure mounting on all of shoulders, shoulders. when he came here, the question of notes room to abide and saying something that he actually can't say that of course there will be no notes for him to if russia invades ukraine and then all of sholtes really trying to avoid it to give a clear answer on that, and i think that was actually the, that the kind of all of shoulds we have known before, i would have not expected him to stay as wobbly on that topic. but he did so, and i think he stayed behin

u. s. are pretty much on the same page here. there are new and so of course, but i don't see any significant divergence, indian, or friends who are choices regarding these issues. and that's what really matters is as a unity of europe. and there is a unity of the west high b nuances. now, do we saying that we can produce options and solutions that are acceptable, those to us and to mr. grant in? unfortunately, i don't think so on the swear determines comes into play, because evenly, if mr. brewton does not as yet. and she had decided to a to, to, in buying a major military operation ukraine. we had to deter him to discourage him from thinking he could achieve meaningful military results without suffering. extraordinary severe analyses bruno to deputy director of the foundation for strategic research. thank you very much for talking with us and you catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world. today. indirect talks between iran in the u. s. famed at reviving the 2015 around nuclear deal have restarted i

u. s. embassy. all right, and are president biden earlier in his term? those were both in hot zones as compared to ken currently. however, do you think that past is what the u. s. is going off of embracing this move? probably, i mean, they weren't, you know, maybe damage control, but i think there is a larger issue that the united states often doesn't protect its own personnel very well. i mean their, their brother interests at play when they become involved in these countries, and they don't always do what it's necessary to protect their own people or their own allies. like we've seen afghan, the stand and other military intervention like vietnam war. busy so i think they obviously don't repeat the p r disaster, ben gas, if a war with breakouts. so they've taken that step and maybe it's also part of this feeder, pretending this invasion might take place, so they can keep these military shipments going forward. well, but it also comes back to question a lot of questions are being raised, but actually moving the embassy instead of just saying, hey, we're g

u. s. are trying to shift blame on to russia as saying that it's their responsibility to find a plan to deescalate when the escalation isn't really coming from their side, of course is so as we see, the hysteria in the west and mainstream media, russia, on the other hand, are simply running out of patience with these accusations of the plan, the invasion because with attempts to place the blame on russia are futile and baseless, i must see that we are very disappointed by the ostrich like position of our western colleagues who are trying not to see obvious things always. okay, but there's been so much talking that's been going on, but such scant progress in the meantime, as russia said, what it would do if its demands are not met. well yes, of course there's been at that ultimate and made in the statement from the foreign ministry that was published yesterday. we just heard that those important things that the us are missing. of course, all important things are the security demands that have be

nor, you know, luxuries are what caused the dumpster fires all around us, the disintegration of the fabric of society around you that you see happening across cities, across the u. s. right. the leadership in california are basically pyromaniac and they're complaining about everything burning down and turning into ash when they set the fire. the other by definition psychotic and speaking is by kotik maxon i here on kaiser report. we warn you about this 3 years ago. i think it was like early in the when were locked down at home 1st locked down there. and we told you and warned you about one of the last gas with this fraud and pushing this ponzi scheme and the free money being billed out. and a lot of the free money that we were financing for people to stay home for a guess. the rest of this generation who knows? but back right. we told you that this is a way to separate you from all your free money that you were given by the benevolent dictators of the democrats, the collapse of the se, se backs, retail investors got policed swiftly and spectacularly for stocks collapsed by over 90 percent from highs others not far behind. spec type boom leaves trail of fcc and d o

u. s. is by ukraine's side and what that means, and of course, all the allies and partners of the u. s. are with ukraine and stand by ukraine. mister solice, you confirmed this also in the reader of this phone call and that this was said by the president. the president also announced that he will to morrow announce a quote, full scale of sanctions against russia. so he follows basically the principal and the procedure. he had announced before that with the escalation russia, or letting me put in, is it imploring or putting on ukraine? and this has, of course happened now the u. s. and the u. s. allies and partners will react and will strike back with severe sanctions. sanctions, not troops, no nato troops, no u. s. troops anywhere in ukraine, of course, because ukraine is not a nato member, so it's going to be sanctions. yes, as we've been hearing that for quite some time. stephan simmons, thank you very much. on wednesday you crank, hold up reservists and declared a state of emergency as it bryce for a worst case scenario in east in ukraine. even prior to this latest development fighting h

u. s. officials are saying that my goal is to report your quoting there, often a defense official that wanted to stay anonymous 1st of all, but the u. s. according to this report, believes that the russian troops on already for that full scale invasion that the u . s. has been warning about for a several days and weeks now saying that near a 100 percent of the forces of russian forces are in place now a to move in a further beyond that separate is controlled area in the don bess. and that this could happen at any hour. now other reports say that this could take until 48 hours . now the big question of course, is we don't know what vladimir putin really wants to do. how far will he eventually go? will he really cross that line? and will he take the rest of those self declared states republics? lou hands can don't as only go even further either way. it's pretty certain that he might face very fierce resistance. there of the okay, of the ukrainian troops always stay with me. uh for a moment the you and yet the un general assembly meant to day on ukraine. and there were some more stark warnings,

u. s. and britain are threatening to impose tough new sanctions. if russia invades ukraine, russia and the u. s. have just resumed telephone negotiations. secretary of state antony blinking is urging moscow to withdraw its troops from ukraine's borders. who are you with the flags of his allies on proud display? ukraine's president announced a huge addition to his nation's army corps was voted him on. we will create a new political co operation format in europe between ukraine, great britain and poland, voice that was within the next 3 years, we will increase the number of the ukrainian armed forces 210-0000 professional soldiers. regina army, british prime minister boris johnson, flew to give to meet with zalinski a day after the u. k, announced new sanctions against kremlin linked oligarchs and companies. if russia invades ukraine, this will be the toughest sanctioned regime against russia. we have other hat, and it is the most radical departure in approach. since leaving the european union, those in and around the kremlin will have no way to hide.

and these are the top stories, u. s. president joe biden, his val to shot down a crucial russian gas pipeline to germany if moscow invades ukraine. his comments came as german chancellor of schultz visited washington, germany, united states, together of our allies and partners, are working close.

u. s. response is, is double the size of, of nato's 4 pages versus 2. and there are reasons for that because of course, nato doesn't have its own missiles, for example, like the u. s. does, and that's something that russia wanted addressed specifically. so in the u. s. letter, it does talk about u. s. willingness to discuss arms control to discuss, going back to a version of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty, which russia violated and was, was then dissolved things that russia also has an interest in. but both both letters make clear that without a de escalation, without the kremlin addressing these issues and getting its forces out of a way from the border with ukraine as well as pulling them out of, of ukraine, georgia and moldova, where they were not invited to be that you know that the onus is definitely on the kremlin at this point. and tell us again, terry, how the russian side has responded to these letters. we see a letter on the russian foreign ministry website from a foreign minister, sergey lab rough released yesterday. and one of the things tha

are correspondent nick connelly is standing by. nick rushes, saber rattling on ukraine's border is getting louder and louder. the u. s. president has urged americans to leave ukraine. now. how are ukrainians coping with the threat of war? well, terry, this is slowly, slowly reaching people here who for months basically had been a disengaging from the news that made headlines around the world where the sick sort of situation where this russian troop build up. when ukraine's board has has been the number one story and has been everywhere basically since december of last year. and for most that time, you had a sense the people here in ukraine thought this is just another escalation, one of the kind that they have lived with since that conflict worship ran back in 2014 when russia and its crimea. and kent sporting those separatists in the so now you see the people will tell you that while we're not panicking, but we have bought some tickets with an open date, or we have withdrawn money from our account to make sure we have cashed small donations in case we need to leave in a hurry. other people will tell you that they wi
