I can understand that certain things become very political and partisan but I took the interview to be balanced. It talked about the intelligence being accurate leading up to it but the real time nature of the information to assist with this.

Sounds like everybody in Kiev is about to get put into their graves and he was calling for additional deadly weapons, praising the Ukrainian forces and saying America needs to bend over backwards for freedom as Putin has to be stopped. Reiterated a strong and agreeable no to American forces on the ground but that the Biden administration needed to loosen the handcuffs of various agencies in providing the information quicker.


That was always a point that military experts said was an issue with Obama and his administration. An overly complex discussion and analyzation of a drone strike or a special op etc. A lot of the times by the time the decision had been made, the situation had changed.

Trump on the other hand was known to be more decisive and more willing to let the military do what they thought was best and didn't want to be bothered with what he thought (stupidily) was small details.

Perhaps a middle of the road strategy is best.
