over us, that will be ourwe future because you know, everybody works for somebody and we've already seen with john'v saina and the nba and you name it,h people will kowtow. and i think the critical issue here is that that's also going to be determined by the de balance, the military balance, which is severe and deteriorating dramatically even as we're dithering in europe and not getting the europeans to stand up, which isuropop what they shoulde doing and they should be taking the front line on the ukraine situationon. if the chinese move on taiwan, which i differ with colonel macgregor, i do think that's a very real possibility that'sne going to determine determine the geoeconomictermine map. and if we don't get that right, we won't be able to preserve our prosperity and ultimately our freedoms at home. yeah, i thinke his point i think his point was that it's not necessarily more likely that they're going to go into taiwan if we don't take on russia. e i think that's the point. but the idea that if we don't takeke on russia, they're definitely going into the taiwan. i agree with you. i think going i try to moveeth t against taiwan either way. elbridge thank you . and still ahead on big day out
