like the italian have who can go in and retake a building with nato and not just leave it to the latvian police force. this process is already under way. there are already leaders in eastern europe who are afraid, let's say, to assist ukraine with its urgent plea for assistance. putin might escalate. that's part of the russian tactic. he wants you to believe that if you try to resist it's futile to resist. he wants to frighten the west with the fear of escalation. we dealt with this adequately during the koerldcold war. we have a new generation of leaders, political leaders from across europe and in the united states who aren't familiar with the tactics. they don't understand it. it's not accompanied by the same component that it had during the cold war. this is not global marxism.
