and i always appreciated, or i would like, you know, it's really interesting to me watching this on a month long, imminent invasion, a messaging from the u. k. and the u. s. everybody is talking about a russian invasion of ukraine, except for ukraine and russia are not. i mean, how do you explain? yeah, clearly and zelinski and his cabinet are not singing to the same hymn book. and that has been a source, as we read in the press of frustration in the united states, because the rest of the nato allies are predictably following along like that's about. so, you know, like you say, the bottom line is that there is not going to be an invasion. and that leaves me for me at least the most important question is, what do we do afterwards? what if worse comes to worst and there's no rush an invasion? i'm going to look, i'm going to look for, for american ford, both. i really don't know how we're going to get out of this situation. i mean, you know, why is it the u. s. in the u. k. spearheading this year because we have had on 2 occasions that we know of publicly then you know, zalinski is not on board as nichol i just said here and he's actually pushing back saying it's dama

and it really infuriating because there's actually lives, it's taking every single member of the you. every single ally is actually the one screaming stop and that's you're in the u. k. or you're the u. s. everybody else to say and hold off the head of the head of germany headed to moscow. and the u. s. is pulling out of right now out of kiev. they're not pulling out of moscow. that should be a huge warning sign to what this really is in the falls like jake sullivan's the one mouth thing it ed. well, scotty also let me just put this in context so so. so important. we've watched in the last 5 years that we've seen the intelligence community go out and use the intelligence and say, trust us, we got brennan clapper, we got call me, they all go out on tv. and they say on cnn and embassy nbc, they say, trust us, we know what the intelligence means. you must believe this. what j solomon just said is not only a lie, it's an insult because what was it? the podium at the pentagon was a guy saying, we think they're going to do this and someone said, what's the evidence? and they said, well, we can tell you the evidence or we're, we're not going to tell you, we just think they're going to do it. and here's

and i say this all my guess here with the u. s. u k, were doing it is very low cost to them. they have no skin in the game except for they want everybody else to fight with. and they want russia, obviously to be isolated in europe. let me go to scott right now. it's got where do we go from this now because i keep pounding away, is it rushes demands have not been met. so this isn't far from over. and i'd like to point out to ever since 2014 russia is more or less sanction proof. ok. they've already, they've already dealt with those issues almost completely across the board. here. a bullies don't like to be shown up in public. ok to be made, complete fools of you know, planning the invasion, the date, the hour. what are we supposed to do? get on the roof with our, with binoculars? i mean, they made complete buffoons out of themselves. they don't like to be shown up like that. go ahead, scott. i think we are in for a long haul and it's going to be very uncomfortable for all parties involved, especially the ukrainians are going to be stuck in the middle. as you pointed out, russia has prepared itself for the reality of sanctions. now we'll
