Times as has cnn, that it was reported on wednesday may before, they had a good sense of what was going to go on. it s interesting that the administration chose not in any way, to get involved. for a couple of reasons. first, they didn t want to be seen backing prigozhin, i mean, he s sanctioned by the united states. and they certainly didn t want to be helping putin, so this was a fight between two pretty unsavory characters. but second, if you listen closely to president biden over the past year, he always wants to make sure that putin has an offering, because a desperate putin, a putin that is desperate that he will lose power is also one much more likely to use nuclear arson. beth, what do you make of that prospect? we were talking about this with the congressman in the previous hour that often what we ve seen, russian history and soviet history is that things can happen very quickly, ....
Expected a lot more violence and a lot more bloodshed of course, that did not happen, and the big question now for the intelligence community and others, is why prigozhin suddenly when he seemed to have the upper hand, just stopped his march and turned his forces around ? that s the most stunning question of the weekend, why not keep going? perhaps we will learn that in the coming days. thank you. there s a lot to discuss. beth, you know, alex raised a lot of interesting points in his report just now, and one of the things i guess that sticks out for me is, how did the u.s. intelligence committee have a better sense of what prigozhin might do than vladimir putin? right, that s a big coup for the u.s. intelligence agency. but i think it shows, you know, a real weakness again. the fsb was in charge of informing putin about the ....
Stability there. you think something like that could unfold, something fast and furious? certainly as beth points out, russian history has shown that that has happened, think back to the cuban missile crisis, it took him a couple of years to really lose power enough that he was ultimately ousted. it happened peacefully. you have to think that putin is in much better shape. this could go on for quite some time, as could the war in ukraine. and we know how he fashions himself a scholar of russian history. thanks to the both of you, we really appreciate it. just ahead, we will take a look at the impact the chaos in russia is having in ukraine. can kyiv capitalize on it? ....
Bernie sanders, folks around him, taken their shots at him, saying he s not an authentic progressive. where all the democratic energy is now. it s an effort to define him. you cover politics a lot more. i feel some of these points is criticism of these individual and their candidates. president trump has taken those off the table. agewise, he s up there. inexperiencewise. he didn t have any experience. his viewpoints on some of these issues constantly fluctuating. he s broken the norms i guess of some of these political rules. i think that s why we re seeing such a big potential field, probably 30 or more. if he can do it, why not me? unlike other years, there doesn t seem to be an overwhelming favorite or front-runner. how does this impact who decides to run? as beth points out, donald trump has basically said anybody can run. ....
All right. we are just a few days away from 2019 and while iowa and new hampshire have announced the caucus and primary dates for 2020, it appears that the large pool of democratic candidates is off to a slow start in those key sta states. as more than two dozen democrats are considering a run for the par party s nomination, no single candidate has signaled clear intention to jump in. donors are keeping the checkbooks closed for at least now, and all eyes are on the three bs, biden, beto and bernie. and everyone is looking for signs that they will run. joining me is beth and jonathan and charlie. and so, beth, i am curious to get your thoughts here. why are we in this dilemma that they are not jumping out of the ....
