weapon systems and that s what we re constantly working to. how fast can we train them. if we give them aircraft, how is it going to take to have therapy lots understand how to operate united states manufactured aircraft and the weapons they fire. that s constantly you said aircraft and i have to ask you, those migs, come on, we can sneak them across the border. have we already snuck them across the border? she s not going to tell you. i know, but at this point i would hope they re already flying around there. you know, i think we re again assessing how to get the ukrainians the weapons they need. the pols i think were somewhat cautious about that and wanted to turn them over to ram stein, right, and for various reasons that was difficult. the russians did bomb the mig depot where they repaired the migs but are popping out of
i understand that, but at some point, when does the white house say, hey, back-off this is how much we are giving you. we are going to do what we can do to help you win this war while trying to also prevent world war iii. but, you know, all of that to say he s a very frustrated willie on this friday morning. the pols, by the way, accepted 2.5 million refugees. think about it this way. sweden took in 1 million refugees over the course of ten years and were given all of these gold stars for that. poland in less than two months has taken in 2.6 million refugee goes and more are coming, with the help of the u.s. military. with the united states, exactly. and the pols, not a nation that has a statue of liberty saying,
to get the russians out of their territory. they want to drive them out. and they believe it is the only way, brian, that they can stop the killing of innocent civilians. the only way that s going to end in their mind is to drive the killers out of ukraine territory. brian: general, the numbers are high enough that the russians even admit they have high casualty numbers and the the ukrainians say they have 7,000 unclaimed russian bodies. the russians have no interest. you take the bad attitude, the terrible strategy. the antiquated equipment. the lack of commitment and understanding of what they are fighting for. and this might be the right combination if the west is smart enough to arm the ukrainians. and that s why the pols in the baltic states are so exercised. if they can keep all this, they are going to look at that at as a win. next stop poland, they re going to rattle the cages of eastern europe for the next 10, 15, 20 years as long as vladimir putin is in power. do you agree?
ask you the question, mika asks the question, are we giving them enough, what more can we do. i like it. it is a brzezinski thing to do. i don t have any money in my pocket, i need more. so maybe i can borrow some. but i m just curious, how frustrated the white house is at this point. i m sure the president is very frustrated. like jake sullivan, tony blinken, there s some historic aide that we re passing their way, and yet everyone people are complaining not enough, not enough. i had a ukraine complain to me about how the united states was stingy about, you know, accepting helping ukrainians get into poland. i said, wait, are you wait, how many millions of people like attacking the pols and the americans, it is just like i get it, keep pushing. all right.
is over. dana, obviously things are fluid. does it sound to you like president douda had any long-term plans for the refugees in his country? reporter: in a long word, no. this happened so quickly, so organically. by the way, that s the same answer i got from the mayor of warsaw, the capital city talking about a longer term plan. anderson, just to give a little context to what 2.5 million people means here in poland, that is one ukrainian for every 15 pols. that is an enormous, enormous number that this country is absorbing. they re all in private homes. they are they are not in they re in refugee centers but not have very long. so it s still an open question given the fact that everybody admits that the war is likely to go on for some time. how these mostly women and
