Where do you think things are heading in the waning days? The Biden administration and with Trump. Take that a little bit and then we'll stop and we'll re engage. Number one, We should stick by Ukraine. What Putin has done is violated the post war tradition. You don't invade a neighboring country because you're bigger and because you want it. And I believe it's absolutely essential that we and our European allies stick with the efforts of Ukraine. (27:54–28:03)
