andrii really , i haven't seen him yet, but wesley clark, he spoke a lot, he says very important thingsd he, by the way, i apologize, and he, by the way, is a member of the council of ex-di, ex-servicemen of nato, where they constantly they say: that ukraine should be supported in the future, such an informal group includes the military of the usa, canada, great britain, and in fact only now the americans, and in general the representatives of the nato countries, understand that all the policies that were carried out there for the past 20-30 years were wrong, and that it was necessary to understand what was really happening back then in the 90s russia, but it was not done, and now we have 10 years of war, two years of full-scale war, and the international situation has become complicated, we have destabilization in the middle east through the proxy of iran, we have the military buildup of the people's republic of china, we have the nuclear terrorism of the prc. and all this could be avoided if, the west really focused on the defense of its values, its national security, and what i am cu

with us now is general wesley clark, former supreme allied commander for nato.eral, rafah on the far southern border of gaza, right up against egypt. these hostages that were rescued from there reunited with their families at a hospital in tel aviv. a dramatic scene. and i don't want to lose sight of what a complicated mission this is for israel to free these hostages so far in to this operation. what is the fact of this rescue, general, tell you right now about israel's capabilities and how they're conducting this war? >> it shows that the turmoil that's going on in gaza is yielding actionable intelligence, john. so, they're actually picking up locations of hostages and then they're setting up the plans to get them. this was always the intent of this operation is that when you get these people moving and they disrupt the command and control networks and you force hamas to talk online or through networks that can be monitored or people get information about it and they report it. this was always the intent of the israeli operation. it looks like it's bearing som

6 foot to ukraine since the beginning of the war and dw comedy that you might talk to general wesley clark. nato's form is supreme allied commander in europe. he says, western countries need to admitted them. and note on the ukraine, who's aboard with russia. we're sending you with a general clark. thank you so much for this interview with the w. m. tell us you have over seen you have with miss so many conflicts. and during the past years, where do you see ukraine now? what did they need strategically? so they need more of material starting with our tory ammunition, but they also need time. they need training, they need to build their forces, develop their leadership. they need the support of the west politically, economically. militarily. they of course, also need of 16 and also a tower. as the german towers today, they shortly need one range weapons. they need air superiority, not adults on f sixteens. they need several 100 modern aircraft and they need draw. not only the tourist missiles, but other ballistic missiles, they need to be able to strike deep into russia in general. but one o

i'm joined by mj lee at the white house and retired general wesley clark. mj, what is the white house saying about this strike? >> reporter: anderson, the administration is making clear tonight that what we saw tonight is not the end. this is just a part of the retaliation that the u.s. is conducting after the deaths of those three americans. you will recall that immediately after that attack in jordan that took the lives of the three american soldiers, the president was very quickly presented with a range of options. it was early last week that he gave the green light on a series of actions that would be taken in the region. in terms of just the specifics of the strike, we are told that there was a lot of consideration given to the timing and the specific excuse of the strike to make sure that they could avoid the loss of innocent life. they said no casualties that they know of. no civilian casualties that they know of. you can see when the watch the video how important that caution would be given this is an area with cars and people going by. anderson, it

let's continue the conversation now with wesley clark, peter monsour and general marks. you and have have been talking a long time about u.s. policy in the region and the attack that killed three u.s. service members. when you look at the strikes tonight and they say there'll be more to come, sufficient? >> we'll just have to see, john. it's about what i would have expected from the administration. they've got multiple targets. they're in two countries. they've brought long-range aviation assets to bear. they've got 85 aim points of the bombs, sounds good. some of the individuals who might have been hit have probably evacuated. they hit at least one ammunitions storage site that you can see on the screen. a lot of it depends on the follow-up. what we hear they're saying, what we see happening on the ground and whether there's any response from these groups. >> colonel monsour, to general clark's point they would have publicly known about it, presumably moved personnel and equipment over the last several days. do you believe they would have been able to do so to effect --

this is the assessment given by wesley clark, when ... the commander-in-chief of nato's joint forces in europe. first there was a phase of deterring russia, then repelling the russians from most of the occupied territories, then a counteroffensive by the armed forces of ukraine. and now, according to clark, there may be a next phase: russia has launched its own counteroffensive. how to effectively oppose russia and what lessons should be learned from this war now? andriy borys collected the opinions of experts. the second year of the full-scale russian invasion. to ukraine, hundreds of thousands of victims maimed and kidnapped by the occupiers, millions of refugees, the end of this war is not in sight, and the second year is a reason to analyze and draw conclusions for the future. voice of america collected the opinions of american and european political and military analysts and summarized their conclusions to four main lessons. in november 22, president volodymyr zelensky announced 10 points of the peace formula for ukraine. among them, in particular, the restoration of the territo

earlier: i talked with retired us general wesley clark, who served as nato commander in europe. force hezbollah to move back 10km. if they don't i think israel at some point will undertake military operations to clean out self lebanon or force them back. because you've got tens of thousands of israelis who have left their homes because of rocket attacks. so for israel this is an existential moment, probably the greatest danger israel has faced since 1973. and both from hamas in the south and hezbollah in the north. if we speak about the hamas in the south element, israel has insisted that its troops will still advance on rafah and they've ordered evacuations there although ngos say that 1.5 million sheltering don't have anywhere safe to go. what do you think the us should be saying to prime minister netanyahu at this point? from the beginning the united states and our european allies should have insisted that israel evacuate those people and that egypt take them. if not all in egypt, then some in the southern israeli desert and we should have built a refugee camps for them and m

with me now the cnn military analyst, former nato supreme allied commander, general wesley clark. general clark, thank you for being with us. the strikes that took place, syria, iraq, yemen, and now the white house says there could still be more. i'll put video up here so people can see the beginning of this mission against yemen, the firing from the sea vessels here. what would more strikes look like in your mind? >> i think that what we're doing right now, john, is we're assessing what's going on in the region. we're listening, we're looking, listening not only to political statements but what people are saying on their radio, their communications. we're picking up information indirectly from diplomats and other nations. and we're looking to see if these forces that we struck are reconstituting, preparing to restrike us, and we're watching for other targets to emerge. so, i think it's in the interest of the white house and the united states to have a second set of strikes if they can find the appropriate targets, and it makes sense. it's going to take a while, assuming that the

just lost toby keith last week, one of his best songs is "american soldier" when i worked for wesley clarkd to play it when wes clark would walk into a room, right? democrats are grab ahold of national security. it does pain me to see that we have somebody who is -- who wants to lead our troops, who really does not care about them. >> s.e., to that point -- >> yeah. >> jake asked marco rubio about this in a really good interview and reminded rubio when trump said those things about mccain, that rubio had called that disqualifying. >> right. >> but his answer yesterday to jake about what trump said is i think they're part of an increasing nastiness of this campaign. >> that's exactly what i mean. there would have been no stomach for this in the republican base to go after a man who is serving our country whether you're mocking or just forgotten, whatever the point of that was. there would have no appetite for that. and it would have been -- it would have been disqualifying to attack a man who is serving our country and by extension all american men and women in service. but this party doesn

we can kubrick but john, when i think when we first met, i was working on wesley clark campaign. it was mined for president new hampshire. this is now 20 years ago. it doesn't for are we have to date ourselves here a little bit. but as a democrat, we spent, i spent my entire political career trying to navigate around the republican advantage on national security that ronald reagan built in the night teen '80s, right? and democrats were constantly trying to figure out how to work this out in the 2004 campaign was the was the big kahuna of that we ran for some spicy clark of john kerry, who became the nominee because he had this military service now, you're seeing republicans take this national security advantage, this kansas contest against russia, that's existed for decades but they've owned as a political party and just wrap it up in handed away and not just donald trump. you see all these united states senators following him down this path that walks away from their advantage on this question of securing america. and i don't know if the american people really want to sign up. f

wesley clock. nato's former supreme allied commander in europe. he says, western countries need to admit it's then a note on the ukraine, who's a boat with russia. we're sending near with a general clark general jack, thank you so much for this interview. with the w. m. tell us you have overseen you have with miss so many conflicts. and during the past years, where do you see ukraine now? what did they need strategically? well, they need more on material starting with our tory ammunition, but they also need time. they need training. they need to build their forces, develop their leadership. they need the support of the west politically, economically. militarily. they of course, also need of 16 and also um towers the german towers. today, they shortly need one range weapons they need air superiority is not a dozen f sixteens. they need several 100 modern aircraft and they need draw. not only the tourist missiles, but other ballistic missiles, they need to be able to strike deep into russia general. but one of the arguments why germany, the united states. so your opinion are afraid of delivering this kind, especially the kind of long range weapons is that ukraine could then also reach r
