They can't, you know, no, but it means that if they planned this arsenal of nuclear atomic bombs that they thought they'd have by now, that's gone, it's been pushed back and it's important. They don't have an atomic arsenal, but they would have had it and we would have faced certain death. So the greatest accomplishment is we're alive, they didn't destroy us and they're not going to destroy us next month because we didn't take that action a year ago. (1:09:55–1:10:03)
