least pretending to work toge together. i want to talk more about s.t.a.r.t. in a moment, but amba ambassador, if yesterday was heavy on the symbolism with the visit to ukraine, what do today s remarks from biden represent, do you think? well, biden is the leader of the free world, and he has done a good job of rallying the allies and the partners of dealing with putin s aggression in ukraine, and he understands that for especially our east european allies, moscow s aggression that ukraine is seen as a prelude if moscow were to succeed, and that is why sweden and finland are wanting to become allies. and he is there to say strongly to the allies in the east, we are with you, and we will defend every inch of nato soil and that
