The Invasion: “It’s a war, there’s no doubt about it.”

Russia has launched an invasion of its neighbor Ukraine, with military assaults on several key Ukrainian cities including its capital, Kyiv. City officials said the offensive has already killed dozens of soldiers and several civilians. Jack Jacobs, retired U.S. army colonel and a Medal of Honor recipient, discusses global deterrence strategy and says, "It is a war, there's no doubt about it." CNBC’s Kayla Tausche reports on how the White House is reacting to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, NBC’s Matt Bradley is on the ground in Moscow, and Eunice Yoon reports from Beijing, where China has refused to call the Russian attack on Ukraine an ‘invasion.’ Kyle Bass, founder and CIO of the global events-focused hedge fund Hayman Capital Management, discusses Russia’s relationship with China and what this could mean for the future of Taiwan. Plus, CNBC’s Dominic Chu tracks the market’s response to Russia’s aggression, eyeing wheat and oil prices and considering a war’s impact on inflation.
