hi there, everybody, it s 4:00 in new york, if war is hell as those who know say, then it has been a year of hell on earth for millions in ukraine, a year of anguish and grief of bravery and heroics, of death and destruction, and of pride. and hope still. that ukraine still stands today, one year after the war began is nothing short of a miracle, one of the ukrainians own making. my most conservative estimates, 8,000 civilians in ukraine are dead. 13,000 have been injured. 5 million have been at least temporarily displaced within ukraine, plus another 8 million ukrainians have been forced to plea abroad, the equivalent of every person in los angeles, chicago, houston, phoenix, philadelphia, and san antonio, all of them, suddenly end violently driven from their homes and lives. and all of that is to say nothing of military casualties that have been suffered, an estimated more than 10,000 plus ukrainian troops are dead, many of whom were school teachers or shop owners or utilit
there can be no doubt there was a coordinated, multi staff effort to overturn the election overseen and directed by donald trump. there could be no chance that he commanded a mob, a mob he knew was heavily armed, violent, and angry, to march on the capitol to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power. this sunday, the clearest picture yet of trump s true print plan on january six. on thursday, it is eight hearing, the second on prime time. then, the january six committee laid out an excruciating detail the 187 minutes between trump leaving the rally at the ellipse after exhorting his followers to march on the capitol, and finally telling the mob to go home. we now know that trump knew within 15 minutes of leaving the stage that the capital was under attack. rather than stay in the oval office or enter the situation room, they then commander in chief hunkered down in his private dining room off the oval, to watch the violence unfold on fox news. he barred the omnipresent
Likely a prelude to a new stage of conflict with incredibly high stakes for israel, the palestinians and for the United States and the world. Air strikes in gaza have intensified today ahead of a possible Ground Invasion intended to crush hamas. Nbcs ellison barber captured this video of a steady stream of tanks about two miles from the border with gaza. U. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken was in israel today reiterating the yaunts decades long and steadfast commitment to israel. Here is what he had to say about the conflict ahead.
