OUR STOCK MARKETS WOUND UP IN
THE GREEN.
HILARY VAUGHN, AS ALWAYS, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
WE WILL BRING BACK BILL,
AMERICA’S NEWSROOM ON FOX NEWS,
I JUST FEEL WE ARE IN -- I
AGREE, WE ARE IN A BAD SPOT
RIGHT NOW.
I DON’T KNOW WHY BIDEN SAID WHAT
HE SAID ABOUT SANCTIONS, OF
COURSE HE WANTED THEM TO WORK.
THE DIPLOMACY DID NOT WORK BUT
THAT’S YESTERDAY’S STORY, WE ARE
HERE NOW.
I’M INTERESTED -- I CALL YOUR
CHESSBOARD BECAUSE THIS INVASION
FROM THE NORTH, I DON’T KNOW IF
IT’S A COMPLETE SURPRISE BUT
EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT
EASTERN UKRAINE, USING BELARUS
TO COME IN, I THINK IT’S A
SURPRISE AND A DEVASTATING BLOW.
>> I DON’T KNOW IF EVERYBODY
PREDICTED THAT YESTERDAY, WE SAW
STATIONS SET UP BUT YOU NEVER
KNOW IF THEY WILL PULL THE
TRIGGER THERE.
NOW A MONTH AGO FAITH SET UP
THERE AND SAID IT WAS JUST
MILITARY EXERCISE AND YOU COULD
HAVE USED THAT EXCUSE TO STATION
PART OF YOUR ARMY THERE BUT THEY
USED ANOTHER BORDER TO CROSS AND
THAT CLEAR.
LARRY: AND IT’S DEVASTATING.
THERE’S NO STOPPING THEM NOW,
THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE WHOLE
COUNTRY.
>> I THINK IT’S THE QUESTION OF
TIME UNFORTUNATELY.
I READ ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT TOOK IN 600
BILLING DOLLARS INTO THE COUNTRY
TO TRY TO GET THEMSELVES .
LARRY: THEY HAVE ACCUMULATED IN
THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS ROUGHLY
6150 BILLION.
THAT WILL HOLD THEM FOR A YEAR,
THE ECONOMIC ESTIMATE.
>> TO YOUR QUESTION THOUGH, WE
ARE COMING UP -- UKRAINE IS PLUS
SEVEN SOUTH IT’S 11:00 EVENING
THERE AND KEEP, THE INITIAL
ATTACK AROUND 5:00 A.M., THEY
WERE HIT WITH 100 MISSILES, 756
WINGED AIRCRAFT AND BOMBERS,
THAT’S A LOT FOR A COUNTRY THE
SIZE OF TEXAS.
THE RUSSIAN MILITARY HAS --
WELL, THAT WE PERFECTED, OUR
U.S. MILITARY PERFECTED NIGHT
VISION GOGGLES AND THE ABILITY
TO SEE AT NIGHT AND WE DO WHERE
NO OTHER COUNTRY HAS THE
CAPACITY TO KEEP UP WITH BOTH.
WELL, THIS IS NOT APPLES TO
APPLES COMPARISON BUT WHEN WE
GOT INTO IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN, WE
RULE THE NIGHT.
WHEN RUSSIA GOES INTO UKRAINE,
THEY RULE THE NIGHT.
LARRY: YES.
I JUST WANT TO THROW THIS OUT,
I’M GOING TO ASK A LOT OF PEOPLE
ABOUT THIS, THIS TOTALLY CHANGES
EUROPE AND ESPECIALLY EASTERN
EUROPE AND WE HATE TO SEE IT BUT
IT’S TRUE, WHAT I STOP?
BELARUS IS NOW A RUSSIAN STATE,
UKRAINE, WHATEVER YOU CALL IT,
IT’S A RUSSIAN STATE.
THEY BROUGHT A KIND OF TAKEN
ANNEXED IN -- WHETHER OR NOT
THEY GO INTO A RUSSIAN,
STRATEGICALLY THEY OWN IT BUT
NOW THEY ARE ON THE BORDER THERE
IN WESTERN UKRAINE ON THE BORDER
BORDER, POLAND, HUNGARY ROMANIA,
SLOVAKIA, IT’S REALLY BIG STUFF
AND BALTICS ARE TOTALLY --
>> THE LAST TWO YOU MENTIONED
ARE OF GREAT CONSIDERATION IN
THE COMING DAYS AND WEEKS AND WE
WILL SEE WHAT PUTIN DOES NEXT.
YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT IS DONA
THREE TINY COUNTRIES IN MY BOOK
AND HOW MUCH THEY HAVE TO DEFEND
THEMSELVES, WE SENT MORE FIGHTER
AIRCRAFT TODAY, JUST FOR BETWEEN
TWO OF THE THREE COUNTRIES
ACCORDING TO SENIOR DEFENSE
OFFICIAL.
HOW MUCH MORE DO THEY NEED TO
FEND OFF POTENTIAL FOR INVASION
BY PUTIN?
ARE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU THAT
WILL HAPPEN, HE TOOK 70% OF HIS
ARMY SURROUNDED COUNTRY OF
UKRAINE WITH IT.
THEY ARE OCCUPIED WITH THE WAR
AROUND THE COUNTRY FOR NOW.
YOUR QUESTION ABOUT WHERE HE
STOPS?
I CAN’T ANSWER BACK.
IT TOOK OPEN QUESTION WITHOUT
ANSWER FOR NOW.
PUTIN WILL LIKELY STAY IN POWER
FOR ANOTHER DECADE, COULD HE SAY
AND POWER FOR LONGER?
I GUESS HE COULD, HE’S CALLING
THE SHOTS.
INTERNALLY THERE’S SOME
RESISTANCE BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM
TO MATERIALIZE MUCH.
PUTIN IS THE MAN IN CHARGE AND
SINGLE INDIVIDUAL WHO MAKES ALL
THE CALLS AND IT’S GOING TO BE
HIS CALL IF HE CAN FEND OFF
INTERIOR RESISTANCE AGAINST HIM
STAY IN POWER AND IF HE DOES IF
WE REMAIN IN THE POSITION WE ARE
IN THE NATO DOES NOT COME
TOGETHER IN A UNIFIED WAY, I
KNOW PEOPLE HAVE ARGUED THEY’VE
NOT SEEN NATO THIS UNIFIED AND
HOW MANY YEARS?
I DON’T SEE IT.
LARRY: I DON’T SEE IT THAT WAY
EITHER.
>> IF YOU WANTED TO BE
INDEPENDENT OF VLADIMIR PUTIN IN
RUSSIA, OR WHAT YOU SENT UP YOUR
ENERGY SYSTEM TO BUY HIS
MATERIAL?
IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
LARRY: THANK YOU, APPRECIATE
THIS VERY MUCH.
