But once the war broke out, you voted to fund it to the tune of billions and billions and billions. And to be clear. And did that work? Okay, to be clear, what I voted for, I voted for the initial tranche of funding and then I voted against the subsequent subsequent one. So it hasn't worked. So I've been in between. I haven't been on the full Ukraine, full throated hawk side or the anti from day one. (1:44:55–1:44:59)
