this incremental approach, is it time for, instead, as admiral stavridis says, to throw in the kitchen sink? i agree. it s time to enable them with every system that we can. look, they can t sit back and continue to absorb. they have to be able to get out and maneuver and dictate and shape conditions on the battlefield. they have to be able to hit the troop formations before they arrive on the battlefield, not wait for them to come. and they have to do that with what we talked about, the ground launch, harpoon missiles to reach the ships firing from the black sea. if we re not going to give them f-16s, let s take poland up on the mig 29s. well, the president is headed there this month to mark the one-year anniversary. colonel, thank you so much. i appreciated the piece you wrote in the hill . thank you for being here to
anti-ship cruise missiles, it all starts with the ukrainians saying we really need this, there is hesitancy, understandably on the west, but ultimately the ukrainians get what they need to stand up to vladimir putin. i think fighter aircraft are coming and coming soon. first will be probably mig 29s from poland, with f-16s from the u.s. back filling those. and then simultaneously training ukrainians to fly these advanced jets, but the u.s. f-16 and recently announced brits will train them to fly their typhoon. planes are coming. all right, admiral james stavridis, thank you for joining us. the nation s governors are at the white house, including some potential 2024 candidates. we ll have his new comments on another white house run. and the urgent search for debris from a 20-story tall chinese balloon is heating up.

little bit on that, but he s trying to motivate and preparing his supporting command. again, he is not a combatant commander. what his command does, air mobility command, is fly in troops, equipment, ammunition, and, things like that. he s a supporting commander. and so much of that is talking about if taiwan has the defenses that it needs. all of this is a broader conversation that s coming amid russia s invasion of ukraine. you saw recently how the united states said they would be sending tanks to ukraine. bir ghter jets, but the german chancellor says this morning they re not going to get them, at least, not fromny do you think that s something the u.s. should take into consideration? i do, kaitlan. i think that we should have sent jets a long time ago, at least mig 29s, mig 27s that the
