general, do you think biden will move putin with diplomacy at this point? i continue to think he also, erin, and i m going say that i ve look at those kind of photos all of my professional career. yeah. they tell you the capabilities and in fact what you have is a large force, but when you re trying to trying to equate when they are trying to do going into ukraine they could certainly do that. that s not what i m paying attention to. you ll hear this term repeatedly over the media now when we re really starting to get similar. it s a type of warfare that s hard and it destabilizes what the government is trying to do. it has to do with cyber activity, civil unrest and external support for weaker actors like belarus,
