And he hasn\u2019t invaded yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirby said, [relevant remarks begin around 2:30] \u201cI mean, look, it\u2019s very clear what Mr. Putin is doing. I mean, he\u2019s continued to add military capability. We continue to believe that he is acting in a way consistent with a man who has decided that he wants to invade Ukraine again.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>After the discussion turned to sanctions, Kirby stated, \u201cWell look, I mean, we want them to have a deterrent effect, clearly. And he hasn\u2019t invaded yet. So, look, if you punish somebody for something they haven\u2019t done yet, well, then, they might as well go ahead and do it. So, we\u2019ve been very clear about what they are, how severe they\u2019re going to be. And we\u2019ll see what Mr. Putin decides to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Kirby added that an invasion \u201ccould happen any day, and that includes today. Today could be that day. Again, Bill, we\u2019re seeing things in the intelligence realm that are certainly giving us concern about how close he is now to moving. But frankly, Bill, and I saw it on your network just a little bit ago, you can see it in plain sight. You can see the cell phone video of tanks and armored vehicles and missile launchers being put into position. You can look on the web and look at commercial satellite imagery about how much he\u2019s now got presence \u2014 his presence there and how close he\u2019s bringing that to Ukraine. Every indication is that he\u2019s preparing for a large-scale invasion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow <\/em><em>Ian\u00a0Hanchett on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cAmerica\u2019s Newsroom,\u201d Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said that Vladimir Putin is \u201cacting in a way consistent with a man who has &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1323954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1323954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1323954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1323954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1323954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1323954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1323954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
