august 21st, an intelligence firm noticed the unusual presence of russian strategic bombers on site, spring break supersonic bombers designed to carry nuclear weapons. you re seeing the satellite imageries on your screen right now. then just days ago, on septembei intelligence spotted three more russian strategic bombers, t tu-95s. prior to august, there were no strategic bombers. now, as of this week, there are at least seven. ukraine is well within the range of both bombers. in related news, the deputy of the head of intelligence, determines there s a high risk of imminent risk of tactical strikes on ukraine. how could you going to lower the temperature, prevent global nuclear war? that s the only question that matters. our leaders, though, have no answer instead of calming tensions, they seem to be deliberately provoking russia. today joe biden once again accused vladimir putin of blowing up his own pipeline. asked me earlier about the pipeline. let me say this. it was a
Senator richard blumenthal. why are both parties trying to provoke russia into using the bombers? we ll ask colonel doug mcgregor, a retired u.s. army colonel who joins us now. colonel, great to see you this evening. a whirlwind whiplash of news today when it comes to russia and ukraine. what should we make of it? well, not quite what senator graham had to say, or for that matter president biden. the destruction of the pipeline was clearly not executed by russia. no one believes that. in fact the german population is being polled. overwhelming is opposed to the notion of any war with russia and dismisses out of hand the notion that the russians are responsible for the pipeline. i think three things are what we re dealing with right now. first of all, putin has decided that no one in washington will negotiate with him. he knows that washington is ultimately in control. and so he s decided that if
Response he s got to escalate the military operation. people aren t aware of it in the west, but the russian forces in ukraine have always been outnumbered from the day they entered ukraine. that s going to change rather than dramatically. i suspect the bombers that you referred to, who carry both conventional or nuclear weapons, will have conventional arms, and those bombers are probably going to be used in the escalation we re about to witness in ukraine. i think he s going to settle this dispute in ukraine on terms that are acceptable to russia that we may not like. other than poland, no one in nato is interested in going to war with russia. if we persist on this line, we will see nato dissolve and fragment. will: because you re saying they will not follow poland s lead, not stand to together. i assume that s what you re saying, colonel? of course, absolutely. no one wants to go to war with russia, other than the poles and
A few people in washington, d.c. will: that will be the key. that will be the key, whether or not if the world does not follow poland into the war with russia, will the united states of america push the world into war with russia. colonel doug macgregor, thank you so much. sure. will: a fox news alert. hurricane ian made landfall in the carolinas today. we re in charleston, south carolina. molly, what are you seeing with the latest? good evening, will. the rain and the wind has tapered off. things have slowed down quite a lot here as ian as moved further inland. in downtown charleston have, we had a chance to drive around. there was 6 inches up to a foot of water on the streets down there, not uncommon when there s a big storm. this city is used to that flooding. around 6:00, 7:00, it had begun to recede quite dramatically. a lot of people on the streets checking for damage, picking up palm fronds and branches that
Afghanistan.s it was absurd what went on they are of it should never have happened. if you had thousand meter perimeter, no one would have entered the perimeter and gotten even close to the airport. you would have three different set of circumstances and the military would have been the last to leave, not among the first order. it was chaos. it was treated as if it was an administrative movement with no threat out there. it s hard to fathom in retrospect i m a but at least of the american people have now had a glimpse of something that s been a problem for a while. this is not a new development. it s just gotten worse than it has been certainly in the last 30 years that i can remember. tucker: doug mcgregor, one of the smartest people in the armed forces. the conversation went on for more than an hour, and you can watch the interview on tucker carlson today by going to foxnation.com. did jeffrey epstein kill himself?
