doing, and i think biden s asking the intelligence community to tell him about the morale of those russian troops. at what point cowe see them say, you know what? we can t take orders from the■ç kgb guy in the kremlin. what does putin s inner circle think about how we ve crateredded their economy? the fsb director and his national security adviser. pete: what are we to believe of that? because we re getting, you know, earnest guests on with very different perspectives about the actual capabilities of russian defends. defenses. what s your assessment? if 200,000 clearly bogged down at some level, but ultimately overwhelming firepower. you factor in 40 real, you factor in, you know, geography, if you re assessing the russian military effort right now, what are you seeing? yeah. so i m, you know, my heartbreaks to have to say this, but
