What's the Rogers solution to those particular issues? Yeah, how much do we have today, Robert? I'm happy to go through it, but on the short term, no. Absolutely not. You don't want us troops firing at Russians in Ukraine, which is exactly why you have to take the tack to let them empower them. The Ukrainians fight for themselves. That's an insurance payment so that Putin doesn't go into a NATO country and we do find us troops shooting at Russians. (06:58–07:07)
