move that could change the trajectory of the war. let s bring in retired four-star general jack keane. he s chairman of the institute for the study of war and a fox news senior strategic analyst. general keane, welcome. so let s, we ve got a year into the war. what lessons have we learned, and what to do they tell us about what comes next? well, certainly we all welcome success that ukraine has had, and i think the center of gravity for that success has been the iron will of its soldiers and its people. and certainly the u.s.-led western coalition has been providing all the arms and ammunitions. but also while that is commendable in terms of the support provided, we have actually handcuffed the success of the ukrainian forces because we slow-rolled so much of weapons that they needed. we sent them in their piecemeal, and they arrived mainly after the fact. as an example, the ukrainians began an offensive in july after russia s offensive had talled in thalled in the east. an
stakes in ukraine and china? that s still, i think, on the table and something this president needs to do. paul: yeah. they just don t want to roll him out for that kind of speech, and i think it s hurting support for his policy. much more with our politics panel when we come back. as the republican presidential field continues to you and democrats wait for word on president biden s ownrs re-electio, n plans. muck the rate on credit cards is now over 22%. if you want to save hundreds of dollars every month, pay off the balances on your high-rate cards with a lower rate va home loan from newday usa and get the financial peace of mind every veteran deserves. no one takes care of veterans like newday usa.
i ve looked through the polls, and if you add them up, it suggests that a majority of the american people want to continue helping ukraine because they understand that this is a battle against our adversaries, russia, china and iran. i would say that what s going on here at the republican presidential level is some sort of calculation that maybe this opposition to ukraine would play in the primaries. perhaps in the primary elections there would be enough republican votes to be close over whether we should support ukraine or not. but i would argue that in a general election, a presidential election, that is going to be a complete loser if one of these candidates like trump or one of the others push pulling out of ukraine. most of the american people simply aren t there now, and i don t think they will be in 2024. paul: kim, you wrote a column about ron desantis and his statements this week. my own take on his remarks is
system. it s been doing that for years. why isn t there a similar system for black and minority kids who excel in things like math and academic skills? the public schools don t provide that sort of thing. they don t identify those kids. that s what s really needed, is to raise up the kids who are trying to really cowell, have the skills to do it do well well, have the skills to do it in those inner city neighborhoods rather than simply abandoning them to this smoothing out of academic performance for everyone. colin, briefly, you lived in hong kong for a few years. i would assume that the children in china and hong kong, they re not aspiring to immediate i don t carely mediocrity. yeah, that s one of the best things about living there. everyone around my kids was so motivated and all of the parents were really supportive of the churn, so i think concern children, so i think they learned those skills early. concern early. paul: as chicago voters get set to head to the polls on t
knew in additions munitions, long-range missiles. and what we re believing is by the end of this year, they really have the opportunity to potentially end this war if they get all of that equipment. as opposed to the what president biden has said we re going to stick there through the end, which plays into putin s hands. so huge opportunity here for the ukrainians, but but the united states and the west truly has to step up in a timely fashion. paul: all right. so the development this week seems to be the warnings from the u.s. and nato that china may start sending weapons to russia. and how would that change the war and the balance of forces? and i guess how does the u.s. respond to that? how would we respond to that? well, my sources tell me they actually considered this last year, and the united states pushed back on it privately. now the united states has announced this publicly, is so it d be interesting to see that. you know, one of the concerns we
