brett bruen, what do you want to touch on?st: a lot of these accusations, whether it is on labs or efforts to try and attack zelensky, emanates from those russian disinformation operations. we have to be really careful when we start to toss around some of this information because we have seen not just in this conflict, but in our own elections as well as in the early days of when russia invaded ukraine in 2014 that there are very aggressive efforts by the russians to try and sew doubts, disinformation, and division. a lot of those accusations fall into that category. it is important that before we are talking about some of these terms, these issues that we see floating around social media, that we look back to the origin, that we ensure that they are fact checked because it is still to this moment a very active effort from the russians to try and spread some of that misinformation. host: independence, oregon, dan, democrat. good morning. caller: good morning. my question is why would nato trust as when we made an agreement wit
