these areas because of its indiscriminate selection between soldiers and civilians. it can t discriminate. is that the same thing as a vacuum bomb we heard referenced at the u.n.? yeah, it s commonly known as a vacuum bomb, right. so horrific. we know some of these explosions have happened very close to or even in kyiv, the capital of ukraine, and we re monitoring a stalled russian convoy that was headed that way. at last check it was around 40 miles long. there are reports of morale problems, possible fuel and food shortages. we re learning there have been some attacks by ukrainians on that convoy. is now the best time to strike? and do they have enough might to stop that convoy altogether? well, as you remember from the first gulf war that highway of death where our aircraft basically went up and down the highway and knocked out ten miles worth of vehicles. but right now the russians have air superiority, so aside from
have to take our eyes off putin and talk about the people around him risking enormous amount for his ego. jesse: a coupe would be the rest scenario and god do i pray that happens that would save a lot of lives. george freidman, thank you so much. thank you. jesse: russian convoy continues to grow by the hour. now 40 miles long. it looks like u.s. sanctions on russia haven t stopped vlad one bit russia is now warning that the u.s. can expect, quote: a strong and painful russian response. so what does putin have up his sleeve or is he just bluching? here for some insight senior fellow at the hudson institute peter rowell. you just heard the last interview with george freidman, peter. if he is really cornered and out of options just getting murdered by sanctions what would be a
as we had gotten to reverse the slow atrophy and decline of the defense budget. trace: you use the word danger and i wonder if you believe that vladimir putin s more dangerous on day six then he was back on day one or day zero? mr. hannah? apparently he can t hear us, we very much appreciate you, coming on. the question remains, was vladimir putin is he more dangerous on day six then he was on day one? the reality is this, you have as you look lived there at kyiv on the ukraine, the capital city. the reality is is it satellite images have now caught a convoy, a russian convoy.
the slow-moving russian convoy towards the capital city, with a lack of fuel and food? it could be a hope that this massive force will intimidate ukrainians. it could be amassing of artillery, and supplies. i talked about a bombardment. it could be, as you said, it is function. there are some ukrainian aircrafts, and all of these trucks are, sort of, easy targets for them. something is going wrong in the russian military, it could be moral, it could be logistics, it could be both. but, i think we re approaching a critical moment, as his column reaches kyiv. encircled the city, you know, but it s ominous. i don t think i don t want to say that this column is not going to harm the people of ukraine s capital, i think it will. one quick question. how do you expect putin is
erpin. they have no access to food, no access to water, their lives are in danger, they re petrified, though it has not been possible to have some kind of humanitarian corridor. you mentioned mariupol, that city in southeast, 250,000 people were supposed to be moved out of that city today as part of a military convoy. the american red cross saying they were not able to open that up because of continued shelling. ukrainian authorities blaming that on the russians saying they continue to use artillery even though that corridor was supposed to open. all of this giving you a very strong sense that civilians are increasingly becoming the target of this ugly campaign. the u.n. saying today more than 360 civilians have been killed, including 14 children, and that does not even include those who
