important dynamic to keep in mind here. as president biden has been touting his pro union bona fides, i think the point of the rail strike, it is a different authority, it s a different situation, can t minimize the im pact that has had on the membership and the uneasy. the concern that biden could somehow choose to intervene again here, so that s certainly influencing things. as i ve been talking to people about this issue, it s a question of why is this all happening now. we re seeing so many different labor negotiations, potential strikes. striking in hollywood already. yeah. and part of it has to do with coming out of the pandemic and people reassessing conditions, also looking at inequality in terms of how much people it at the top of these companies have bene benefitted, and some said part of it may be president biden and the fact that his vocal support for unions and collective bar begins is give wind in the sails

afraid of ukraine victory and don t be afraid of the russia defeat. and the ukrainian membership in nato, this is the ukrainian victory, nato victory and defeat of putin. president poroshenko, we know of assurances both security along with, of course, those cluster munitions promised by the u.s. president. we also have assurances from 11 separate countries in training f-16 fighter jet pilots. with all of that in mind, and the success so far of the spring offensive, what seems as if spring into summer offensive, i should say, which seems as it is not done yet, could this be a real moment of victory for ukraine and taking back territory? this is not an easy question. does the best security guarantee available now after russia launch aggression and destroy
