46:55Now PlayingAs news continues to emerge of CIA Director Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow, the severity of our security situation abroad becomes clearer and clearer. Russia has suffered extreme losses in its war in Ukraine and is growing increasingly desperate.
Meanwhile, the United States has spread itself thin fighting a war of choice in Iran. Most -- if not all -- of our bases in the Gulf states have been eliminated; our footing in the region and elsewhere is tenuous at best.
Yaroslav Trofimov is a Ukrainian-born Italian author who serves as the chief foreign-affairs correspondent at The Wall Street Journal. His book, 'Our Enemies Will Vanish: The Russian Invasion and Ukraine's War of Independence,' details his time at the heart of the war, often on the front lines.
He joins Brian to talk about how Ukraine has changed the calculus of war and is turning the tide against Russia -- and America's role (or lack thereof) in saving Europe and the world.
