there is no other play than just to unload all of your ammunition. flatten everything and run when you re being defeated. so, it is bad but i didn t think, i knew it would be bad. i didn t think it would be this bad. ever exist to the point. charles, welcome to the show. i want play this for you. despite being incompetent, and messy, what she said they still need. take a look. the support we received today, the packages that president biden has announced is very helpful. that is very helpful but not enough. we need jets. we need jets with a javelin, a drone, or the javelin. we need another plane to shoot the plane. we need to put down their airplanes they don t bombard
performance will russian air force which is not been a major part of this fight. i would have to say, i was shocked. i assume they ll go after the ukrainian air force. but, two thirds of the ukrainian air force is still flying against supposedly a superpower. i still think the big problem for the ukrainians is a stepping fired from the ground, at ground units, and civilians rather than what s coming from fighter jets or fighter-bombers. charles, to bring you into this. whether or not it is the thing that what turned the tide the most. do you foresee the united states s finding some way to go ahead and give than the jets anyway if they believe they needed? given how they have filed at least held russia? we have listened to the very powerful words of president zelenskyy during the joint session of congress. invoking dr. martin luther
children and women. charles, i want to ask that question. given what you seen, do you agree with this? that jets would allow them to stop the slaughter? the problem is most of the damage being done is by units from the ground. they are getting hit by missiles and artillery. i don t want a second guess the ukrainian parliament are presidents and look for. they want these jets first to keep their skies clear. as a symbol of commitment. commitment from the west to get those jets to them. in terms of things that are actually causing death and distraction, those jets would have to go after ground units, that are inflecting this damage. that is really what s going on. the russian air force, if we re talking about the poor performance of the russian army, the russian army has done well compared to the miserable
you very much. i m joined now by tom nichols. and charles carruthers. i will ask you the same questions. you teach students of war. you teach our war makers. i ve been stunned. the idea that there were two big superpowers, the united states and russia, was predicated on the idea that russia is a lethal army. what this sounds like is sort of a terrorist gang. they kill a lot of people and done a lot of damage. the story that the army doesn t have enough food to supply themselves. having to abandon their vehicles because they don t have enough fuel. this sounds like a ragtag third- rate army. are you surprised? my expectations were low and the russian army managed to get
king, i have a dream. iva dream for freedom in the skies. through president biden, nato has reaffirmed there will not be a no fry zone over the ukraine. doing so would cause an escalation. i don t think we are willing to swap the escalation with russia. let me ask you this, charles. isn t the escalation and play? we may not want to be in world war iii. we were in world war ii and a half at least. russia has made it clear that they are not responsive to the kind of sanctions, to the kind of discipline that the global community has at its disposable to get them to behave in civilized ways. this is a manic dictator in russia right now. do you think it behooves the west, not just the united states, at the west in general, to think about this differently? it is not about avoiding
