Pentagon: Russian Forces Have Withdrawn, But They Aren't Going Home

[mytwocents]

It is so easy to criticize when you don't actually know the details of what is happening or how much NATO and the U.S. have given or are still giving to Ukraine. Thank goodness we have a president who is rational and caring and not ready to jump into a World War. The allies of Ukraine are not going to advertise what they are doing to aid Ukraine. In any war, you don't advertise your tactics to your enemy.

[francissantos]

Armored forces out in the open without adequate air support is vulnerable. Even casual observers know that. Time to get the Ukrainian freedom fighters the proper weapons for an offensive

[isotropisch]

Ship Missiles, enough to take out the whole black sea fleet.

[ErnestoXavier]

Number one rule in The Art of War, never underestimate your

[presidentmeeks]

This just shows you how desperate Russia is to use Landmines . No country uses Land Mines in war .

[maakhina]

They should've given the airplanes to Ukraine

[snafufubar]

Small arms and missiles are fine for the front line but they need long range equipment to cut supply lines and harrass the Russians rear areas. They need more heavy arms now as well.

[mellowyello]

Just Supply ukrainian forces with everything they need. This is CRUCIAL!!

[JP-fnxt]

Absolutely no regard for life, except their own.

[endrefidje]

The Ukrainian resistance forces in the east needs to be urgently re-supplied with heavier arms to counter the Russian aggressors. Anti ship missiles will hopefully be in place in Odessa soon to counter those navy ships that the Russians have positioned outside of that harbour...

[alexhamilton]

When the US begins sending in tanks, jets, and any other weapons Ukraine can use to go on the offense instead of playing defense. Sitting back is only giving Russia time to regroup.

[ghyacinthlamin]

Thanks for America for helping Ukraine.

[kennith.]

Takes days for the ships to get from the US to Europe, plus the tanks have to be transported by rail to the port then put on ships. Insane to expect tanks to teleport into Ukraine. all these system weigh a ton and only limited ones can be flown in. Training also from Canada.

[hollyhold]

Great segment, Morning News team. And, kudos to Scarborough for thanking NATO for what it HAS done, while calling for more.

[Miss_Attitude_]

Isnt every weapon defensive considering they are defending their territory?

[billb]

Ukraine says they need aircraft and tanks.
US is supplying "small arms".
Sounds like we are NOT "doing the best we can".
Give them what they need. F16s. Growlers. M1/M2/Strykers. Anti-ship missiles.

[PANCHOVILLAMATO]

Estonia, a NATO country with only a few million citizens has promised to send $200Million in aid to Ukraine, fully recognizing that with their small porous border with Russia, they could be next in line to ask for help.

[edwardgatey]

NATO jets enforce ‘no-fly’ zone. Admit Ukraine into NATO, and enforce the border, including Crimea.

[tajabdullah.malaysia]

Send the entire aircraft carriers rather than little ammos

[chelittle]

If it's sensor activated wouldn't an EMP take care of that? Food for thought.
