I don't think there's any hope that we're going to actually stay on schedule to destroy all their chemical weapons capability by, by June 30th. And it's really Russia's role to make sure that happens. And they're not making sure that happens. They're not cooperating anywhere near sufficiently with Iran. And of course that is, you know, the sponsor of state terrorism. So it is puzzling to me. I wish Russia were a friendly rival, but instead they're unfriendly adversary. (07:26–07:31)
