something that i can t imagine, you know, as jack will say, there s no rational reason for him to do that, but putting aside that for a moment, can the intelligence community assess what his goals are? if we can understand what his goals are there s a way potential as president biden has done a fabulous job of deescalating situation. i would say that there is a blind spot perhaps but i think that that doesn t mean that there is not assessments and we don t have good intelligence about what his specific goals are. let s dial down, colonel jack, if you can, the fear factor. i have a lot of people coming to me and asking me if vladimir putin is going to take us into a nuclear war because of, of course, this increased threat, this special alert on nuclear forces that he raised after the sanctions were leveled against him. of course, you couple that with these reports of him kind of losing his mind, being increasingly isolated, nobody knows what he s thinking, who is he going advised by.
