china is a very different beast from russia though. although xi jinping and vladimir putin share a lot of things about their view of america, the west, the, china is bound into the global economy into the supply chains that run right into america and the rest of the world in a way that russia just is not. and so i think a reason to be calm about a war anytime soon like this year, an adventure if you like, is that it would actually just compound those economic problems at precisely the moment that xi jinping needs things to be calm. and so although we've seen tremendous amount of saber rattling, i don't think that that would solve his economic problems, it would make them worse. >> david, thank you so much for joi joining us this morning. >>> coming up next on gps, is the nuclear deal with iran on the brink of revival? we'll try to get to the bottom of that key question in a moment. help make trading feel effortless and its customizable scans with social sentiment help you find and unlock opportunities in the market with powerful, easy-to-use tools power e*trade makes complex trading easier react to fast-moving markets with dynamic charti
