we re talking urban warfare. that s a crush of people there. you see them trying to get out. i don t know if we have the video. but they can t get out fast enough, general. it is hundred of thousands of people on the move at the same time. russia knew this. we had to have known this. what you talk about with the black sea and the strategy there, a blocking the commerce by russia is huge. we ve got the 3,000 troops in poland. but really permanent military bases in those nato countries, would that have even been part of any scheme if we had handled this differently and put those sanctions on early? i just want to get your take on that. well again, sanctions made europe and america feel good. like we re doing something. but in fact as far as russia was concerned, they their goal was to take ukraine or change the government. so sanctions weren t going to stop the forces of putin.
now. that s something we ll rally around both republicans and democrats. but it is unfortunate this had to happen. we didn t provide the sanctions that i thought would be helpful prior to the invasion. this is the most massive invasion in europe since world war ii. since hitler invaded poland to put it in perspective. what you ll see now. we would game out these options, right? what s the worst case scenario and what s the left bad scenario? this is the worst case scenario. all three groups being deployed to put the noose around the neck of ukraine. actually maybe even going all the way to odessa and muldova. we have to respond with serious sanctions on putin, he has blood on his hand. we need to do it soon. we have to be unified, the g-7 and nato in doing that.
properly hasn t worked, it s failed and i hope and expect him to see him change course as he did on nord stream 2 just a few days ago and we need to see number one, sanctions on putin s inner circle and him personally and number two, commitment to support ukrainian resistance to turn this into a quagmire for russia, that is what i hope to see from president biden. carley: we ll have to wait and see, expecting that speech noon eastern time. congressman, thank you so much. thank you. carley: lawmakers actions of vladamir putin over night. todd: brooke singman live, where russia attack will be major topic throughout the day. brooke. brooke: that s right, guys conservatives are expected to gather here at cpac and discuss what the european war means here in america. lawmakers in the nation s
countries have joined is as a number of eastern european countries havejoined nato, which is a defence alliance, vladimir putin has repeatedly signalled publicly that he feels this goes back on an agreement he had with the west in the 90s with the west disputes are. and he says ukraine should promise not tojoin nato and he says ukraine should promise not to join nato or nato should promise that that s not can be possible. but at the moment, ukraine says it does want to join. this is a carefully worded statement but we can read it for what it is. it sjoe biden saying nato will continue to open its doors to european states who share its values and may someday seek tojoin. who share its values and may someday seek to join. that is essentially saying, we may expand still further. a couple of other things, from the afp news agency there is a travel band that could be part of us sanctions on putin and lab draw. we understand some sanctions may focus on there, what we could be in an extraordi
they talk a little bit about the pandemic, but then it does look, prices are going out. and it s going to hurt. but it would hurt worse if we did not inflict these sanctions on putin, including cutting off the oil. essentially they are saying we know that things are going to get bad, but hang on. sean: peter doocy, thank you. always glad to have you. as the bloody invasion continues, we are witnessing so many sad, harrowing scenes from the ground. look at this video. this video shows two ukrainians defusing a russian bomb by hand with a bottle of water. do you know how risky that is? putin is dropping bombs all over ukraine, including bombing entire neighborhoods, civilian areas, apartment buildings, schools, churches, and even that women and children s hospital, the maternity hospital. the death toll and the suffering
