Bret oh, yes. Good evening, welcome to washington. Im Bret Baier with fewer than 70 days until the president ial election we are releasing new fox polls from key Sun Belt states and its Anyones Ballgame as you can see right here. Former President Donald Trump holds a 1 Point Lead in North Carolina. 5049. But, Vice President harris, Kamala Harris is leading by one in arizona, 5049. By two in nevada and georgia, 5048 in each of those states. All of these numbers, obviously, within the margin of error here. These surveys we should point out were conducted after both the democratic national Convention And Robert f. Kennedy jr. Dropping out and endorsing trump.

right now the diplomatic effort under way with our allies is to make sure we re on the same page. this if they don t completely align, most of the sanctions will be consistent between the alliance structure. but by itself, that s not financial to be sufficient. the russians have built a massive $630 billion war chest to weather sanctions. it s going to take some coercive diplomacy on the part of the u.s., the posturing of u.s. forces in europe to deter russian aggression and with the provision of additional lethal aid. and even then it s probably too late to have a significant effect. i think we re all but locked in on this confrontation. so in your foreign affairs piece you also participate that pretty stark and scary picture of what a full-scale russian ground and sea offensive in ukraine might look like and lead to. you say it could, quote, inflict tens of thousands of casualties
they re going to pay. they re not going to their banks will not be able to deal in dollars. is that a real threat? and does russia worry about it? it is a real threat from the u.s. i think they have some doubts on whether we ll be able to follow through on it. there is some seams between us and our european allies that would have to also be on board for it to be truly effective. these sanctions. i think there is also from the russian calculation an understanding they could deal with some shocks. it will be impactful. no question. they have built a large $630 billion war chest, they have developed relationships with china, where they have conducted transactions with the chinese yuan and europe has built some facilities around swift also. when we sanctioned iran, under the trump administration, europeans wanted to continue to have a diplomatic path for keeping iran denuclearized and
