Mike Waltz talks Russia's invasion into Ukraine

So let's get some analysis now from a group of experienced professional diplomats and veterans of former official and President Obama's State Department, David Tafuri, House Armed Services Committee member and former Green Beret commander, Florida Congressman Michael Waltz, and Director of Intel Programs and former President Trump's White House, ex-Navy SEAL, Latham Sadler. Great to have all of you with us tonight, gentlemen. Yeah, thanks. Thank you, Shannon. Want to start with a little bit from State Department Spokesperson Ned Price today. We are confident that the Russian Federation will be and will be shown to be isolated on the world stage. We have seen from President Putin not only in recent days, but in recent years, is his desire to go back to an era that has long since passed, an era in which large countries can bully small countries, an era in which might equals right. So, Congressman, I'll start with you. Where does Putin, where does Russia land on the world stage? Brett and I talked a little bit about this. If he is successful in taking over Ukraine, what next? Well, I think he's been very clear about reconstituting the former Soviet Union. The key pieces of that, the key nuggets are Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine, and then the Baltics. So he has two essentially under his thumb. He's working on Ukraine right now as we speak. And then I fear the Baltics are next. Each of those countries have Russian enclaves. And if you listen to Putin's propaganda, it's about uniting ethnic Russians, saving them from the atrocities that they're experiencing. So we do have to take a stand here. It's enormously frustrating to see the White House or to hear the White House talking about sanctions taking effect a month from now, when we've been asking for the sanctions, demanding the sanctions go in place months ago, and perhaps they would have had more effect. And finally, Shannon, we're talking about providing lethal aid. That lethal aid should have been flowing a long time ago, a lot faster, a lot more of it, more sophisticated. Will they continue to flow it through Poland and through Romania? Will those countries serve as a sanctuary? And finally, where are the stingers? Where are the anti-air missiles that would deny Russia its air superiority? We, again, have been demanding answers on the Hill and can't get any from this administration of why they're not flowing.
