SHORTAGE. MARIA: THANK YOU. HAPPENING IN TEXAS, THAT'S FOR SURE AS WE LOOK AT CHINA LOOKING TO BUILD ITS FIRST PERMANENT MILITARY BASE ON THE ATLANTIC OCEAN WITH ESSENTIAL AFRICAN COUNTRY OF GUINEA. ACCORDING TO THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL" THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE PENTAGON URGING THE SMALL AFRICAN COUNTRY TO REJECT THE PROPOSAL WARNING A NAVAL FACILITY WHERE CHINA CAN REARM WITH MUNITIONS AND REPAIR NAVAL VESSELS WILL POSE A THREAT TO THE WORLD. JOINING ME RIGHT NOW IS FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR GENERAL KEITH KELLOGG.

GREAT TO HAVE YOU THIS MORNING. THANKS FOR BEING HERE. ASSESS THE THREAT FROM CHINA PARTICULARLY WITH THIS NEW INFORMATION THAT THEY WANT A MILITARY BASE RIGHT ON THE ATLANTIC OCEAN IN AFRICA. >> MARIA, THANKS FOR HAVING ME. CHINA IS AN AVERAGE HIT-- ADVERSARY BY EVERY DEFINITION OF THE WORLD, ECONOMIC, CULTURAL, MILITARY ADVERSARY AND THIS PROVES IT. THEY ARE THINKING STRATEGICALLY LOOKING AT BOTH SIDES OF AFRICA. RECENTLY THEY BUILT A

BASE IN DJIBOUTI GIVING THEM THE CAPABILITY TO CONTROL ACCESS TO THE SUEZ CANAL. THEY BUILD UP A BASE AND THEN WHEN THE COUNTRY CAN'T PAY FOR IT THEY TAKE THE BASE OVER AND THEN THEY HAVE FULL CONTROL. THEY JUST DID THAT FOR UGANDA WHERE THEY BUILT AT THE AIRPORT. UGANDA COULD NOT PAY FOR IT NOW THEY OWN THE AIRPORT AND THEY ARE DOING THE SAME THING IN THE PANAMA CANAL WHERE THEY CONTROL THE SHIPPING ALLIANCE EAST AND WEST BY PORT FACILITIES AND NOW THEY ARE DOING IT IN WEST AFRICA. THEY HAVE A REAL

STRATEGIC METHOD TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING. STEVE TOWNSON IS THE COMMANDER OF AFRICAN COMMAND AND HE'S NOT AN ALARMIST AND WHEN HE BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE ABOUT THEM BUILDING A BASE IT SHOULD RAISE CONCERNS FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THEY HAVE A PLAN AND THIS IS A STRATEGIC PLAN AND THEY HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE PLAN OF BUILDING FORCES FORWARD TO MAKE MILITARY FORCES IN THE ATLANTIC AND THE PACIFIC AND GIVE THEM NOT JUST REGIONAL DOMINANCE, BUT GLOBAL DOMINANCE. MARIA: THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT AND I HAVE REPORTED ABOUT THE BASIN DJIBOUTI MANY TIMES AND IN FACT THEY FOLLOWED THE UNITED

STATES IN TERMS OF BUILDING THE -- AFTER THE US HAD A BASIN DJIBOUTI. OBVIOUSLY OUR ADVERSARIES ARE SMELLING WEAKNESS. YOU HAVE THIS CALL THAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW BETWEEN JOE BIDEN AND RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN, THEY WILL SPEAK TOMORROW AS RUSSIA HAS BEEN BUILDING ITS MILITARY-- I'M SORRY ITS MILITARY FORCES ALONG THE BORDER OF UKRAINE. YOUR THOUGHTS? DO YOU EXPECT RUSSIA TO INVADE UKRAINE ANYTIME SOON? >> WELL, LOOK YOU ARE CORRECT, NOT ONLY SMELL IT, THEY FEEL IT, THEY

TOUCH AND THEY SEE WEAKNESS IN THE US. THIS CALL WILL NOT GO WELL. WHEN BIDEN FIRST CALLED VLADIMIR PUTIN AT THE END OF JANUARY HE WAS VERY AGGRESSIVE IN HIS CALL AND VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE. HE'S BEEN THROUGH FOUR PRESIDENTS AND HE KNOWS HOW PRESIDENTS REACT. HE TALKED TO BLACKMER PRUDEN 18 TIMES WHEN I WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND HE RESPECTS-- HE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RESPECT IS FORCED UPON HIM AND HE SAW THAT WHEN WE KILLED RUSSIAN MERCENARIES IN SYRIA, WHEN WE WENT AFTER SOUL

MONEY AND HE UNDERSTOOD THAT. I DON'T THINK BIDEN WILL GET A DEAL OUT OF THIS AT ALL. BIDEN WILL MAKE COMMENTS AND VLADIMIR PUTIN WILL LISTEN AND THEN DO WHAT HE WANTS TO DO. HE HAS GIVEN THE ENTIRE WORLD A REDLINE AND TOLD US DO NOT LET UKRAINE BECOME A MEMBER OF NATO. I GUARANTEE YOU IF WE MAKE EFFORTS TO BRING UKRAINE INTO NATO THEN RUSSIA WILL REACT. HE LOOKS AT THIS AS PART OF HIS TERRITORY MUCH LIKE CHINA FORCES THE ISSUE WITH TAIWAN AS WELL, SO THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND I

CANDIDLY-- I'M NOT SURE THIS PRESIDENT IS UP TO IT. MARIA: I MEAN, EXACTLY. LOOK, THESE ARE ADVERSARIES. THE QUESTION HAS TO BE COME BY NOW, WHY ARE WE WORRIED ABOUT TAIWAN NOW, WHY ARE WE WORRIED ABOUT UKRAINE NOW AND THE ANSWER IS THEY SMELL WEAKNESS. LOUISIANA SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY JOINED ME YESTERDAY ON SUNDAY MORNING FUTURES AND HERE'S WHAT HE IS SAYING JOE BIDEN NEEDS TO DO RIGHT NOW. WATCH THIS. >> WEAKNESS, RUSSIA WON'T INVADE IF

PRESIDENT BIDEN AND CONGRESS MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THERE WILL BE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES IF RUSSIA DOES. WHAT THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO DO TOMORROW, TOMORROW IS SANCTION AND AWARD-- NORTH STREAM PIPELINE. IF YOU DO THAT, WE WILL GET-- WE WILL GET RUSSIA DOWN AND THEN WE CAN CHOKE THEM. MARIA: GENERAL, WHAT ARE THE ODDS THIS COMES UP WITH BIDEN'S CALL WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN, WILL HE SANCTION THE NORTH STREAM?

>> YEAH, WELL HE SHOULD. THAT'S WHAT WE DID IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE WE SAW IT WAS A REAL WEAKNESS, BUT HERE'S WHAT ELSE BIDEN NEEDS TO DO, HE NEEDS TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL NATO ALLIES AND OUR FRIENDS IN EUROPE AND SAY THIS IS IN YOUR BACKYARD. YOU HAVE A MAJOR INTEREST HERE AND YOU NEED TO PUSH FORWARD ON BUILDING UP YOUR MILITARY CAPACITY. PUT A GERMAN BRIGADE IN THEIR OLD POLISH BRIGADE IN THERE OR A CHECK BRIGADE, SHOW FORCE OUT THERE. I USED TO LAUGH AT THE REASONS WHY THE GERMANS

REARMED AND WHEN THEY DID ALWAYS CONCERNED THE RUSSIANS IS GERMANS ALWAYS SEEM TO MARCH EAST. GERMANS ARE NOT PUTTING FORTH ENOUGH EFFORT IN THE DEFENSE. THEY ARE ONLY PAYING 1.2% GDP IN THE DEFENSE AND YET THEY HAVE PROMISED AMERICA AND THE PROMISE NATO THEY WOULD PUT 2% GDP IN AND THEY ARE PUSHING THE NORTH STREAM TO PIPELINE AND THEY WILL GET 80% OF LIQUID NATURAL GAS THROUGH RUSSIA, SO, I MEAN, IT'S A HUGE EUROPEAN ISSUE SO BIDEN NOT ONLY NEEDS TO PUSH VLADIMIR PUTIN, HE NEEDS TO PUSH ALL THE ALLIANCE AND THE EUROPEAN UNION

IN EUROPE AS WELL TO CONTRIBUTE MORE TO UKRAINE. MARIA: GENERAL, YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT BUT IT'S NOT DOING ANY OF THAT AND HE'S NOT PUTTING PRESSURE AND HE ACTUALLY ALLOWED THE NORTH STREAM AND RUSSIA TO SEND GAS AND OIL TO EUROPE AND THE SAME WITH CHINA. WHAT ABOUT THIS DIPLOMATIC BOYCOTT OF THE OLYMPICS? SO WHAT? I MEAN, THE WORLD WATCH THE PCP MARCH INTO HONG KONG AND START THROWING FIGHTERS IN JAIL AND RIPPING UP THE PLACE. THE WORLD HAS BEEN

WATCHING THE SEA-- PCP BULLY THEIR NEIGHBORS AND THAT CHILD SALINA C. WHAT IS JOE BIDEN DOING ABOUT CHINA? NOTHING. >> THERE'S THREE MAJOR THREATS WE FACE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. ONE IS RUSSIA, THE OTHER IS CHINA, CHINA TAIWAN AND THE WRONG NUCLEAR DEAL WHEN WE ARE MISSING OUT ON ALL THREE. WE ARE PUSHING THE ENVELOPE. MARIA: WE ARE BEGGING THEM TO DO A DEAL. GENERAL, I HOPE YOU COME BACK SOON. THERE'S A LOT TO TALK ABOUT AND WE NEED TO GET INTO IT.

TO COMMUNICATE THIS TO OUR AUDIENCE. GENERAL KEITH KELLOGG, THANK YOU FOR
