like this every day. they need this on a constant, ongoing basis. what is the logistical challenge to make that happen? we have an incredible strategic air force. i used to be a joint lift validater. i can tell you, we have 232 c17s. the c5s, we can fly to poland in a matter of hours. a c-5 can take two m-1 tanks. we can establish and we have established an air bridge into poland. and then poland we need to essentially in world war ii we had this effort called the red ball express. 6,000 trucks a day pushing. we can set up another red ball express in warsaw and lviv to push 600 miles using trucks, rail, river barges, everything we can to move as much as we can into donbas. this is what is possible in your mind. it has not happened up to this
diplomacy and american power. this administration s headed the exactly the opposite direction given up 100% of the leverage we had. sean: i assume mr. secretary part of your plan included the extraction of our military equipment, c17s, black hawk helicopters, drones, munitions, billions of dollars worth of up armored vehicles. i assume the trump plan including taking that em who or destroying it. correct? sean, it absolutely did. we wanted to do several things and we were clear when we went from 15,000 to 8600, pauseed and met the conditions and when we got to 47 or 48 hundred, we paused, observed the conditions. each time, we made sure we had it right. we had three missions, one to get our young people home as quickly as we could. the second was to make sure we weren t attacked from this place again. and finally wanted to get every single american out and every about it, at least every bit of high end equipment out of that country before we departed.
rise again. that s right, to plot, plan and scheme their next attack on our homeland. to top that off, the taliban is now in the process of fully utilizing the billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars and us weaponry, black hawk helicopters, c17s, 208 aircraft, drones, that you left behind. made no contingency for. now several families of 9/11 victims, wow, this is pretty powerful. they have told biden, don t bother coming. you re not welcome at the 20th anniversary memorials that will be taking place around the country, because of what you did here and your weak leadership. don t worry, the biden administration, they re focusing on the real threat to the united states, right wing extremist groups inside the u.s. who were inspired by the taliban. can t make this up. it s that bad. and worse. here with reaction, former
