“Massive Consequences”: Biden Administration Warns Russia on Ukraine Threats

The threat of Russia invading Ukraine intensified on Tuesday, with Russian President Vladimir Putin telling his top military officials that Western powers interfering can expect him to “react harshly” with “adequate military technical response.” The U.S. and NATO have pledged to support a free Ukraine as Russia continues to amass troops on Ukraine’s border. Pentagon Press Secretary, John Kirby joins to discuss how the Biden administration intends to prepare for contingencies as Russia increases pressure, how NATO would respond to aggression against Ukraine, preparation to combat potential Russian cyberattacks and how the U.S. can protect national security interests in regard to China.

During an address to the nation Tuesday, President Biden unveiled his new plan to fight COVID. He is once again urging Americans to get their boosters and says the federal government will make testing more readily available. This comes at a time when cases are surging and his poll numbers are on the decline. Tom Bevan, co-founder and executive editor of RealClearPolitics, discusses President Biden’s polling problems and how the COVID crisis, the economy and the apparent failure to pass the Build Back Better agenda is impacting the White House’s popularity. Bevan also discusses the 2022 midterms and how influential former President Trump may be.
