how does that pose a threat to the united states? mr. kroenig: i think it poses a number of challenges, one, to the topic we just discussed, china is shipping fentanyl precursors through the panama canal. second, by operating the ports there and including surveillance, chinese surveillance technology, they're using that to collect information that's going back to beijing and may not be classified information but sensitive china could use to exploit for an intelligence advantage. china could seek to hinder trade through the canal which would have economic -- negative economic consequences for america's well-being. mr. gimenez: how can they hinder trade or stop it? the port operators on both sides, do they determine who goes first and who goes second, etc., off how does it work in the panama canal? mr. kroenig: in terms of the specific operations some of my colleagues may be better to speak to that but halting, disrupting trade in a place like that would not be very difficult. i think we've seen in other cases where ships get stuck and say

did it to such a degree as the united states. and that's what's, that's what, that's american exceptionalism. that brings me to the monroe doctrine. would you talk about in your forthcoming book america, america? this was a doctrine created under us president, james monroe in 1823 as a response to latin american independence movements. uh, talked about this doctrine. how does it continue to influence us policy in the americas 2 centuries later? yeah, the actual monro docs and it was just a couple of paragraphs. and in james monroe and state of the union address and you know, when it would, they weren't even continuous paragraphs. they basically said the united states was going to recognize the independence of, of latin america, a south american nation, spanish american nations. and that it wouldn't, it wouldn't allow that re conquests by european powers. the latin americans liked that part they, they, they read it, they thought they were hearing a kind of anti colonial sentiment. they would not be a recall on his ation of, of the

the united states should not have allowed this to happen. the united states, run by a man that didn't know much -- i'm going to be very nice. run by an incompetent person, very incompetent person, should never have allowed this to happen. i have stopped many wars. i have stop the words nobody ever heard about. i stopped wars before they ever started. i could give you nations i will tell you right now that were probably going to work. i could tell you there's a nation thinking about going to war on something nobody in this room has ever even heard about. two smaller nations, but big -- still big.and i think i have stopped it. this should have never happened. pres. zelenskyy: just a second. about the negotiations. i want to tell you and i think everybody understands that ukraine, more than ukrainians, nobody wants to stop this war. it's understandable that two sides of the war, not russia and the united states, because this is not a war between russia and the united states but a war against ukraine and the ukrainian people, so these two sides

but the united states. uh, at this point has uh, not tried to uh to make sure that all its vassal states would vote with, with the u. s. united states, uh, did not. uh, the, uh, the on the europeans did not give an order to reach vassals to use your language, to make sure that they aligned themselves with the matter with the new american position. the united states has just changed its own position. and is arguing, uh where, where, where do your p is about the wisdom of that position. so it's not, as it's not as simple as it does, it does it sometimes as, as, as it's something new. sometimes it looks also let me, let me underline one important issue. many of the country is of the, with the bricks group, including china and india. they did not vote with russia on that very important issue of the chinese of the in just abstain. they have their own reasons why they upstate, you know that, but they've always been abstaining on the on, on that issue of probably because of the issue of jo dory. busy integrity of

if the united states pulls out and it, it looks very much that the united states is in the process. now pulling out the conflict is over. it's done. and this is something that you'll lensky either does not understand yet, or is not willing to accept. but this is today's reality, and it was laid out in the oval office this afternoon for all to see. all right, you have our lives, the grammar who has been shared support or of, of ukraine throughout the war has come out on the side of trump. best buy the speaker listed president trump was in a very good mood last night and somebody asked me, am i embarrassed about trump? i have never been more proud of the present. i was very proud of j. d, but standing up for our culture, we want to be helpful. when i saw in the oval office was disrespectful. and i don't know if we can ever do business with zelinski again. well, boy say now though, i'll ask the question now is ukraine the boss? this last now or is the landscape taking a huge gamble that the he things might ultimately pay off? what are you seeing? i think right now in these, in these ho

the united states state department had a press release. that is no longer there, but we did archived this. it said that there were peaceful, biological laboratories in ukraine. to me, it's kind of strange that they put the words peaceful as if they were trying to deny something. normally you do not expect normal biological laboratories to be not peaceful. the general is joan dubin visited one center of the board tree. it was very safe to wait storage and basically they were both of trials on on suspension, launched an investigation to shortly alter the us government once again, denied it. so the board res existed in ukraine. on march the 10th 2022 pentagon press secretary, john covey made a special statement on the mass. so we are not developing bio, logical, or chemical weapons inside you. crank is not avenue. now people were starting to realize how disingenuous and untruthful the united states has been with a lot of these vile, the biological labs that have been in ukraine. they've been getting a lot of coverage there is. now i do have o

why is the united states -- we have an ocean in between -- why is the united states in for so much more money and other things as europe? with that being said -- and as you said they've been very helpful. but we have put in far more than they have. and i think they should equalize. >> mr. president -- president trump: what changed between the first time that the secretary gave zelensky the agreement and today? president trump: we made a deal. i'm just -- i'm a business person. we made a deal, that's what changed. i didn't think we were going to make a deal. and we ended up making the deal. so that changed. >> how do you envision a trilateral -- >> well, they don't like each other, i can tell you that. they do not like each other. this is not a love match. it's unfortunate. the united states should not have allowed this to happen, ok? the united states run by a man that didn't know much. i'm going to be very nice. run by an incompetent person, very incompetent person should never have allowed this to happen. i've stopped wars. i've stopped many wars. people will tell you, i've stopped wa

i guess in, in britain i, i feel the united states. but i'm sorry to say, i hope you won't take offense, but we learned everything we learned from britain and, and one of the fascinating points of our modern history is how it relates. as i said to the 19th century, the crimean war was award led by britain to try to push russia out of the black sea region. this was the purpose of lord palmerston. he got the napoleon the 3rd to join him, and that was the outcome. but again, after the fall of the sub stobel, a dead for about 17 years, i think it was. i, russia's play was out of the black sea. that's what they're trying to do. again. yes. and one of the fascinating thing and it's, it's not going to work, but it is a, an echo of this 19th century. and one of the fascinating things with the roots of phobia is his british, russo phobia which the storm are carries till today to the white house. and where does that roots and phobia come from? there's a marvelous study from more than 50 years ago by a great historian who asked the question, wher

this program was not a agreement between georgia and the united states. it was there was one sided in position that they should do. this seems like because shortly off to these statements, old major us and european use agencies stop working with silverman and presidents august release administration site to him as well. i wrote some articles, publish them and local media. i gave interviews to george and newspapers, and actually everybody jumped on me. the embassy wrote in their reports and press relations, as the silverman is not to be trusting the nasa t, the truthfulness of his information is in question. despite the backlash, he continued investigating those who didn't want the us journalist to go public with his discoveries reacted soon enough. as a result of this, i've been kidnapped off the street. and if you look at the lower level is basically the crown, the flagship, the crown 0 of a network of laboratories in smaller lives in armenia, as you be john center, asia, africa was that email local reveals while he's concealed behind the high walls of t

. >> yeah i mean look ukraine does need the united states. even if you've got european troops in ukraine they will need the united states, or air defense, rockets, artillery. this was a great opportunity to get things started. i think president trump saw this as a step-by-step process, where we would start with this rare earth mineral deal. tried to pursue a cease-fire and go from there. again, that mineral deal would give us a lot of economic commercial skin in the game and keep the united states involved. that's what ukraine needs. i would caution 1 thing. wars end when both sides are too exhausted to fight our when 1 side wins. we aren't at either 1 of those stages. it's almost as if we are trying artificially to impose a settlement in i'm not saying that's the wrong thing to do it's just extreme late difficult. >> trace: meantime the ball appears to be in zelenskyy's court. he was on special report tonight. did not want to apologize. does he fight to get back to the negotiating table? >> he has to and you are right he did not do himself a

the united is the current administration. and, and the message that trump wanted to send is we're seeing a different to, so we're going to embarrass him in front of his own country. and because the top knows that lensky isn't truly the power behind all this, he lensky is the front. and he's the public figure, but really there are other so called politicians, actually not politicians. we know that, you know, the, the, the as a fatality and others that are truly in command and zalinski and on top of all that has not called for new elections. he's going to resign in may, so it's already, he's already on. he's running, he's already on bar of time. yeah. so i think trump wanted to make it clear, most especially perhaps to president, to, to, is that he's very serious about terminating this conflict and getting on a new relationship with russia. and he was also sending a very clear message to you or we will see what happens on monday. yeah, i, i can't wait to see kind of call us his face. oh my goodness, why the face kaya? yes. beca

that was the official position of the united states. i vividly recall being briefed by leaders in the biden administration telling us that this war was going to be over in 5 to 6 days. they believe that that was their assessment at the time, and it wasn't the case because of the weapons that ukraine had in its stocks, because of president trump and his first term. so he should have been grateful for that and grateful for what we're doing now. and one more point. it's not just president trump. there's there's news reports out there from nbc news. at least one of the places i recall reporting that biden had a shouting match with zelenskyy for not being grateful and not being thankful for everything that was provided back in 2022. now, that didn't happen in front of the press. that was leaked, but it got out there. it's these frustrations are not unique to president trump. there was those frustrations in the previous administration. if nbc news is to be believed. >> but but but obviously we've never seen anything like what we saw today. bu

the united states will brook no criticism of vladimir putin in the oval office of the united states. the american president is only interested in dictating to ukraine the terms of its surrender to russia. and oh, by the way, give us half of your mineral rights on the way out. and what this means for europe and ukraine is that they are now on the other side of the negotiating table from the united states and russia. they are going to have to figure out what ukraine is going to try to live with. they're going to have to figure out what european troops might be a part of a security guarantee for ukraine. but more broadly, chris, as you were alluding to very accurately in your lead in the united states is now a part of the club. russia, china, the gulf arab autocrats. donald trump wants to live in a world of pure transactionalism in which might makes right and big and powerful and rich countries make deals over the heads of democracies, over the heads of vulnerable people. it's the mirror image of what he does at home. he's a bully. he doesn't pick on people his own size. he picks on peo

he disrespecte the united states in our cherished oval office.e can come back when he is ready for peace. you can watch the meeting online at c-span.org or with the c-span now app. pres. trump: thank you very much. we have known each other for a long time. dealing with each other for a long time. we had a little spat. i think that worked out great. for both countries and for the world, actually. we have had a very fair deal. we look forward to digging. and getting some of the rare earth. it is a big commitment. we appreciate working with you very much. we will continue to do that. we have had some very good discussions with russia. i spoke with president putin and we will try to bring this to a close. it is something that you want and he wants. we will negotiate a deal. we have started a deal. i think something can happen. the big thing is the number of soldiers at this point being killed. we are losing thousands of soldiers on both sides. we want to see it stop. we want to see the money get put two different kinds of use like rebuilding. we will

grateful to the united states for its overwhelming support. i came here to the united states. >> to forward. >> the thank. >> the word of. >> thanks to the. >> people of america. >> thank you so much, mr. president. thank you for all this. 575 days. yes. and thanks to the american people. i like to thank american partners for the support. mr. president, thank you. your team. i would also like to thank the united states congress for their support. both parties, both chambers. we deeply appreciate that ukraine and america have stood side by side from the very first moments of this terrible russian invasion. >> rick. >> you know, i guess i guess the question is, what are we to make. >> of what we witnessed today. and. >> the clear. >> clear move by. >> this president to solidify his relationship with. >> vladimir putin. >> michael, i'm glad you played that clip of mr. zelensky thanking america over and over. and when you when j.d. vance asked, have you said thank you, i thought, did george marshall ever ask france to say thank you? did he ever as

he disrespected the united states of america and its cherished oval office.ack when ready for peace. president zelenskyy expressed gratitude to the american people after his class with president trump, writing on x, thank you america, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. thank you potus, congress, and the american people. ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that. with me to discuss this is our state department correspondent, tom bateman. tom, you have covered many visits of world leaders to the oval office. have you ever seen anything play out quite like today? >> absolutely nothing. it was unprecedented. i think it shows that what was already a very vulnerable and precarious position for volodymyr zelenskyy has deteriorated now into an unprecedented golf, a rift between his country and its superpower sponsor up until now, supporting it during this war into utterly unknown territory. i think at the moment, -- i think the moment that clearly rankled mr. trump the most, and when you saw these recriminations floo

and saying that your opinion was formed to screw the united states. what are your thoughts about this moment? this is amanda lands, the real, i mean, uh, your vin union was form to tracie of rome. uh, 1957. um, at the project of the united states, successive democratic republican friedman, eisenhower administrations. the marshall plan. you know, the greatest set of active aid in history to rebuild post for europe, america very, very wisely and skilfully conditioned aids to european countries on the degree to which they cooperated and hold. that result is, in other words, america helped create the european union for a very good reason that it would make war again on the continent impossible opening for at least very unlikely. and then it would produce the kind of prosperity in the european union that would, would create markets for american companies, but also stave off the communist threat. the appeal of communism. um, and it was that one of the grand, i think, unique in history success is that the hedge a month that a big imperial power. we'd actuall

united states. thank you america. >> ukraine is grateful to the united states for its overwhelming support. >> do you think you can make the argument that he hasn't said thank you? >> well, i think the vice president said he hadn't said it today. he hadn't heard it today in that meeting. and we were hoping that that meeting would begin by thanking you for everything you've done for us. we wouldn't be where we are today without you. we wouldn't even have a chance to negotiate a peace without the help you gave us, by the way, without the help you gave us when you were president in the first term, because president obama refused to provide them defensive capabilities in terms of military hardware, he did provide him blankets. >> and. >> he brought him humanitarian aid. but. well, but it was brought up. but i was there. in fact, i vividly recall at the time, vice president biden saying to me in a meeting that we had at the vice president's residence that the reason why we didn't want to provide them tho

he disses back united states of america in its cherished oval office.ack when he is ready for peace." let's go back to the start of that meeting, which began in friendlier circumstances with both leaders saying they were ready for an agreement that could help to bring an end to the war in ukraine. let's have a listen back. >> your soldiers have been unbelievably brave. we have given them great equipment and somebody has to use the equipment. they have been unbelievably brave. we give them credit. this was supposed to be over quickly. here we are three years later. i give tremendous credit to your generals and your soldiers and yourself in the sense that, it's been very hard fighting. very tough fighting. great fighters. you have to be very proud of them from that standpoint. pres. zelenskyy: i am very proud. pres. trump: but now we want to get it over with. it's enough. it's an honor to have you here. thank you for coming. pres. zelenskyy: thank you for the invitation. and i really hope that this document will be the first step to real security guarante

lindsey graham has been what is the united states for ukraine? well, united states the president's taken no position on that. what he said today is let him come back when he's ready to do peace. that's what he said. let him come back when he's ready to do peace. so i can't speak for what anybody else said. i can only go off the words from the president of the united states, and that is today. we're not this is not going to be productive any further. when zelenskyy is ready to make peace and he is serious about peace. let him come back then. and that's when we'll reengage with them. and what he means by that is when will you. >> stand that? >> well, i think it's everything i've said already, and that is, how are you going to get vladimir putin and the russian federation to a table to discuss even the opportunity, whether even to explore whether there is an opportunity for peace? you're not going to do it by calling them names. it makes everybody feel very good. you can pass resolutions. you can put out very strongly worded statements. senators can

>> alumni of. >> the. >> united states army. that's what i'm an alumni of. and millions of veterans around this country saw that today on our outrage of all backgrounds, because of the there. >> are millions. >> who saw. >> it. >> because there. >> are. >> people like you. who are from our president. >> standing with putin instead of with america, standing. >> with putin with that. >> zelenskyy shouldn't have opened. >> his mouth to. why did zelenskyy, our ally in a trench fight. so i don't want to go into a fight with any of you by my side. but why did he jump into a conversation just like no one asked any gentlemen? no one asked about lewinsky today, jen psaki interjected himself into it. and you. >> are selling out. >> jen psaki. >> please stop talking, okay? everybody is talking at the same time. >> i'm fine with. >> my statements, guys. >> everybody is talking at the same time. that does not work, okay? we cannot hear a word you are saying. i understand there are, you know, a lot of very high emotions about this topic, but

so it's a different problem said, united states can bring to bear on. do you bring in to be more crawford before just to punish them? as the term tends to be hard. crowley is a former us assistant secretary of state for public says on the president barack obama. he says the blow up in the oval office is a bad luck for the us and ukraine. this was supposed to be a very straightforward, you know, diplomatic initiative. you know, to sure up us ukrainian relations prior to the beginning of the goal. she ations and obviously what we're seeing now is the relationship in adult spiral. adults on clear if for the leaders can that can pull it out before it actually crashes. the truck administration has broken the alliance between united states ukraine and now they own the consequences of that. you know, can ukraine survive in its current state without you are dramatic us military assistance. probably. ok in the short term, certainly not sustainable in the long term. so i think you're once the um, the anchor on all sides passes. the question will be, you can coole

so it's still believes that the united states will not turn away from ukraine. the dollar will continue, but many say that kids will be disappointed with the results of this visit. nearly a thank you for that. usually a shop, a lot of i live in moscow. let's try to use problem minnesota. anthony albany z says his country stands with ukraine, whose people have suffered greatly defending the nation. the people of you crying ass fucking not just for they were on national, suffered to die, fighting for the international rule of law astray. it has committed some $1500000000.00 to help ukraine defend itself. more than $1300000000.00 of that is military support. we will continue to stand with you crime for as long as it takes. well, your claims president will be heading to london next, prime minister k, as donald will be hosting him n e u. lead us on monday to discuss what comes next for ukraine. european leaders have been clicked to defend the landscape after the white house debacle. french president emanuel mack calling says global support. the key must continue i th

the united states can and should be a leader in dealing in stable coins.ction efficiency, expand financial inclusion, strengthen the dollar's status as a world reserve currency. all while driving demand in u.s. treasury. i'm optimistic will vent legislation and demonstrate common sense framework for digital assets as a bipartisan priority. this progress will build momentum and other crucial areas such as market structure for digital assets. i've having no regulation does nothing to stymie bad actors is pushing innovation beyond our shores. we need a regulatory clarity for digital assets to both protect consumers and to be a leader in the industry. thank you madam l chair. >> the chair recognizes ms. smith. >> thank you madam chair and ranking member thanks all of our panelists for being here today. i appreciate this very much having the opportunity to learn about, and hear your thoughts about what we need to do to provide a robust and reasonable regulatory framework for stable coin. i want to focus my questions on better understanding how consumer protecti

the constitution of the united states. in the constitution of the state of missouri -- missouri. and that i will faithfully demean myself as governor of the state of missouri, so help me god. >> congratulations. [applause] [gun blasts] [applause] >> hey years ago i had the honor to be the first person to introduce the new president of the united states, donald trump. today i have for me and equally great honor to be able to introduce to missourians and people who understand and love our state, the 58th governor of the state of missouri, mike kehoe. gov. kehoe thank you, and please be seated. i've already been told i'm on the clock. president pro tem, speaker patterson, members of the general assembly, state and federal elected officials, former governors, judges, friends, family and fellow missourians. we stand this morning honoring a group of brave men and women who represent the best of those who serve and protect our communities. would you please welcome the salute to hero honorees that we honor this morning in the stat

the vice president of the united states is a rogue and a coward. who is donald trump's puppet. >> and i think what president trump is trying to do is bring the conflict to a resolution. >> if the rug is pulled out and putin becomes the big winner in a forced cease fire, not only that disaster for ukraine, but if anybody believes that putin will stop at ukraine, that he doesn't have in his eyes the baltic states, poland and others, they are not students of history. >> what i saw in the oval office was disrespectful, and i don't know if we can ever do business with zelenskyy again. i don't i think most americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with. he either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change. >> here to debate it all. lead global security analyst for the washington post intelligence josh rogan and cnn political commentator scott jennings. i keep hearing about apologies and perhaps maybe it sounds nice in theory, but the idea is does president trump actually need an apology

we've got to unite.nd behind the democratically elected leader of ukraine against this imperialist dictator that has invaded his country. and tragically for now, that's where the center of gravity for the free world is. >> michael mcfaul, former u.s. ambassador to russia. i do appreciate you being here. i know that there's a lot of demand for your time on a night like this after a shock like this. it's an honor to have you here tonight, sir. thank you. >> can't imagine being anywhere else. thanks for having me, rachel. >> all right. >> we've got much more ahead here tonight, including, i'm really happy to say, a live really happy to say, a live visit with senator cory booker pronamel clinical enamel strength can help us to keep our enamel for a lifetime. it's backed by science it is clinically proven to strengthen our teeth. i would recommend this toothpaste to everybody. it's really an amazing product.

uh, the truck administration has broken the elias between united states ukraine and now they own the consequences of that you'll can ukraine survive and it's current state without you are dramatic us military assistance. probably. okay, in the short term. certainly not sustainable in the long term. so i think you're once the, um, the anger on all sides passes. the question will be, you know, can cooler heads, try to sticks this back together again over time, but it's going to take time, you know, to accomplish. then you say the trump administration has broken the lines, the trump administration is clearly trying to create something very different than, than what the americans and europeans are used to. is that the might going to lead or couldn't lead to, to the us and trump losing the mantle of leader of the free world? that certainly is one of the dangers. i know there's not necessarily a 6 clear successor to the united states as leaders of the, for our leave or the free world. but certainly in a vacuum. this is something that china can take advantage of. you know, that russia will

europeans, we don't need to lose them, they are good allies for the united states. the united states is the biggest donator of support and two-piece but we don't need to lose europe. they want to note steps. we have to be open to understand how did -- >> more reactions are coming into the contentious oval office meeting between president zelenskyy and president trump. tammy duckworth posted this attacking our democratic partner in service of an autocratic dictator. trump is a national disgrace. ben lujan reacted in this way -- shameful, embarrassing and dangerous. and from the house, connecticut democrat, jahana hayes released a statement saying today's oval office meeting was deeply troubling. the u.s. must defend democracy over authoritarianism and it is indefensible to side with putin over our steadfast allies in ukraine. president trump is scheduled to adjust a joint session of congress on tuesday to lay out his priorities and vision for the country in his second term. we will have live coverage beginning at 8 p.m. on c-span followed by a democratic response. we

and i don't think you would be a tough guy without the united states.r people are very brave but you will either make a deal or we are out. and if we are out you will fight it out to. i don't think it will be pretty. what you will find it out. but you don't have the cards. once we signed that deal you are in a much better position. but you were not acting at all thankful of. and that is not a nice thing. i will be honest that is not a nice thing. >> jesse: trump and zelenskyy were supposed to have a joint press conference afterwards, it did not happen. they were supposed to have lunch together as well but trump kicked zelenskyy out of the white house. and the white house staff eight zelenskyy lunch. >> we had a meeting today as you know with president zelenskyy and i would say it did not work out exactly great from his standpoint. i think you very much overplayed his hand. we are looking for peace, we are not looking for somebody that will sign up a strong power and then and not make peace because they feel emboldened and that is what i saw happening. i

under donald trump, the united states will abandon an allied democracy.ort the autocrat. we will support vladimir putin instead. do you see it that way? and can you help us understand the broader implications of what we saw today? >> tragically, i see it that way. and you just presented a lot of evidence to support that hypothesis before the commercial break. and i just this is such a sad day for me personally, as somebody who cares about democracy and finds autocracies and i know american history, we haven't been perfect. we haven't always been on the side of the democrats, but we have a long standing tradition of standing up to autocrats. think about it. all of our enemies, throughout all of our history have been dictatorships. our most enduring allies. our strongest allies have always been democracies. and today our president wants to switch sides in the struggle between autocrats and democrats. he doesn't want to be the leader of the free world. he wants to join the autocratic club. and i just think it's sad on a kind of ethical and moral level. but i

the vice president of the united states lit into him. j.d.t deliberately. >> this was really -- i have never been embarrassed to be an american and today was embarrassing. it was awful. layer. >> laura: he is embarrassed. adam kinzinger is embarrassed. do they realize they're hurting their cause being on television. any positive outcome for ukraine? >> yeah, the america last crowd has always got something to say. i think today was telling. i think people should pay attention to the people defending zelenskyy, versus the people defending america. so it's kind of a defining day. i think a fault line that had existed for a while is now out in the open. and it's very, as you said, it's very educational and instructive. the truth of the matter is we are americans. that's our president. and no foreign leader comes into the oval office and disrespects us that way. >> laura: never. >> especially when we are trying to help. >> could you ever imagine joe biden in any sense of the word he would just basically sit there and nod and hold those cards in hi

the unit polar approach was delusional. what happened during the last 30 years, i've been reported because this is a 30 year us project is that the united states said, were you in a polar, we do what we want. we expand militarily, where we want, we expand our influence where we want i eat in 2008. the us said, now we move made over to ukraine to georgia. i and a, this is a replay by the way of the pry me and more of 185321856, almost a, almost almost at the blueprint and rushes said, no, i, that's not going to happen. i. the point is, europe got into line with it, the u. s. i strategies to if i could call them and it's, it's the exaggeration in my view, but the us strategist said will win because we're all powerful. one can do, do what kind of russia do nothing, and based on up until the end and i know what they thought, because i talked with them i heard from them. i watched what they were saying. this was a group in, in essence playing a game. i would say i'm the american side, which is we can do what we want, right? that
