you know, hopefully won t see at all, but if we see a nuclear weapons use, i think that would probably be first, and that would probably come after something like a chemical or biological attack, weapons of mass destruction attack. but these are smaller, much smaller weapons, of course, than like intercontinental ballistic missiles. we re not talking about the size of weapon that is can fly across an ocean and devastate an entire country or an entire capital city, these are smaller weapons that are meant for battlefield use. the blast is important, but also the, you know, the fear and radiation is an issue with not only taking out troops, but causing fear and chaos. so, there s a big difference between a tactical nuclear weapon and a larger nuclear exchange and i would be very surprised, frankly, if russia decided we ll do a launch on united states or western allies, i don t think we re there yet, but it is something that the western policymakers have to take into consideration, anders
out. and i think as she said, any battlefield use of a nuclear weapon is a game changer. it is changing the name of war that we ve seen ever since nuclear weapons were first used in world war ii. that is not something we want to see. i think we need to do more to be warning putin off any nuclear use. there will be a forceful response if he does do that. and i think that way, we can actually turn this threat back on him as well, too. this is not going well for russia if they do use nuclear weapons. thank you both. coming up next, the scene in mariupol and what may be the last chance to save tens of thousands of ukrainians caught in the cross fire. plus, addressing the migrant crisis as ukrainians are also trying to cross the border into the u.s. stay with us. so i consolidated it into a low-rate personal loan from s sofi. get a pepersonal loan with no fees, low fixed rates, anand borrow up to $100k. sofi. get your money right.
out there but the leadership, the democratic sheriff, wouldn t go over too well if they did anything publicly but we knew they supported us. thank you for these insights. the more we hear the more we learn. joining me now is victor davis hanson, senior fellow. since beef failed gubernatorial candidate beta or reveals what the left is using the entire rittenhouse case for. watch. this entire tragedy makes the case that we should not allow our fellow americans to own and use weapons that were originally designed for battlefield use, that ar 15, ak-47 has one single solitary purpose and that is killing people as effectively, as efficiently and as great a number in his little time as possible. we saw that in kenosha. they don t want citizenry to protect themselves even in the police or local officials will not.
that we see from greg abbott right now, we re going to be able to do that. staying on guns for a moment, on friday, a wisconsin jury acquitted kyle rittenhouse in his murder trial. rittenhouse claimed he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed two people and wounded a third in kenosha, wisconsin, last year. what s your reaction to that verdict? i mean, this entire tragedy makes the case that we should not allow our fellow americans to own and use weapons that were originally designed for battlefield use, that ar-15, that ak-47 has one single solitary purpose, and that is killing people as effectively, as efficiently and great a number in as little time as possible. we saw that in kenosha. we saw that in el paso, texas, where 23 people were murdered by someone with an ak-47 just in a matter of minutes. this is crazy, and we should not come to expect this as the matter of course in america, and the thing is, we don t have to. so here in texas, where most of
beto o rourke doubled down on his stance to ban assault-style weapons. take a listen. this entire tragedy makes the case that we should not allow our fellow americans to own and use weapons that were originally designed for battlefield use. that ar-15, that ak-47 has one single solitary purpose, and that is killing people as effectively, as efficiently and as great a number and in as little time as possible. waj, how do democrats fight back against that? how do they speak on this issue? gun control, believe it or not, is wildly popular. has been for several years, about 70% of americans want some form of gun control, even republicans and independents, but like alana was saying, you have to dive into the culture work. you cannot dive into racism and white supremacy. you know why? barack obama was a black man who
