is how does vladimir putin view this ? not that we should be giving his sentiments, but if how he calculates matters you can t make a statement like that if you don t want the war to escalate. yeah, absolutely. i mean, the whole reason that we have a massive espionage apparatus is so that we actually know what our enemies are thinking. and i don t think that this administration knows or cares. and i i agree completely with that. but if we re confused about what the policy is, imagine what our enemies think of it and imagine what those troops think of it when they re told that they are going in and they re going to go in and be expected to die for something that is causing it. all of it is so baffling, so confusing. and actually what i kind of worry about all of this right now is this entire thing is i think that the white house views it almost as a photo op because he has so much political trouble here at home. he has decided that he s going to go over these images of him
the biden administration is how we manage that going forward. it feels like biden s backed into a corner. i don t know if these people going to russia are russian speaking or if they could be used as hostages. but now we hear we hear talk of chemical weapons. we hear talk of nuclear weapons. if he feels like he s losing, what are the possibility of what he may attempt to unleash? and maybe it is to entice a wider war . we can we know at this point i don t think we really know, pete. i think what we really have to do is try and discern what his objectives are. we don t know what these are. he hasn t made it clear. clearly they didn t achieve the objective of toppling the ukrainian government within three to five days after the invasion started. at this point, i think what we re going to have to do is continue to get as much lethal weaponry to the ukrainians as possible to create the standoff distances that are going to allow them to hit the russians harder, faster, more often and begin
officials now say three hundred men, women and children were killed when russian struck that setar refugee shelter in mariupol. now all this comes as the russians seem to be redefining what they call a victory in this war , having been met by really strong resistance around kyiv and elsewhere. they now claim they were just trying to distract the ukrainian military and are simply aiming at gaining back more russia leaning territory in the east. whatever the twisted justifications are for russia s brutality, ukrainian president zelenskyy has this terrible war on his hands and every video appearance he calls for more weaponry for his brave soldiers. in fact, was just reported that they say they could use five hundred stingers, five hundred javelin, anti-tank weapons, everything they experts say the u.s., the west has to keep the ammo coming in . back to you. greg palkot based on the casualty numbers in the vehicles they ve lost , those
a decision on a person in that job pretty quickly. i think when i look at these poll numbers, look, i m a partisan, but i can look at poll numbers and say that this is almost a spent bullet in his presidency. the american people think he is not up to the job. now his handlers have to make sure that we don t bungle ourselves into a war. and this is a very, very, very serious time for our country. it really is that you make a great point, charlie. i want to hone in a little bit on that word corny. this idea that the president of the united states would go talk about our founding documents dismissive on the border of a shooting war when this is not to praise vladimir putin, but there s no way when he was on stage there is one equivocation about the justification of his stance on russia. if there s one place to say this is the most beautiful document we have the best system in , we will defeat you. it s there yet he makes statements like that . is that just joe biden ism?
don t we have a transportation secretary? wasn t a rhodesar scholar, wasnt he ? the mayor of south bend,ia indiana? what s going with ouroi transportation system? we noticed we re doing a segment monday. in the meantime, have a great happy and relaxing weekend with the ones you love. we will see you at welcome to this special edition of hannity friday night. i m pete hegseth in for sean. and tonight, as the war in ukraine rages on , joe biden, he s in poland where he paid a visit to u.s. soldiers and had a battle of his own with a piece of hollow piano and pepperoni pizza. unfortunately, it continued to go downhill from there. a short time later, biden forgot the name of his secretary of defense lloyd
