out his own, and i have to say at this point, paranoid, myth-making, grievance nursing agenda. everything he has done since he started this back in 2007 at the munich security conference when he gave a very distinct view of the world has pointed to this moment. and the united states and nato took strategic ambiguity off the table from the beginning. they said we will not put a single troop or a single weapon offensively into ukraine. there are some who believe that that wasn't the right way to go, and that putin only understands strength and we see that over and over again. so the real question is, and i think general petraeus, with you, jim, laid it out very, very well. does he just march straight through ukraine like a knife through butter? do the ukrainians put up resistance? how long will that take? will there be a bloody insu insurgency? how much on russia?
