expense of our country. it s not the way to do it. we have 15,000 deaths in the war and many countries of the world discounts the sanctions which will be applied only after the fact. and i am being very honest, and that s what i mean. help me through that, but essentially seems to be saying, i see what the united states, the european union, the nato allies are doing. it helps them, maybe not me. is that right? yeah, absolutely, john. what he is saying there is very, very clear. he s saying if you are threatening punitive sanctions, now is the time to impose them to get the russians to back off. once they re rolling tanks across my borders, it s too late for us and it may suit the east europeans, particularly the baltic states. he also went on to warn that they would then find a frontline war they d find themselves on the front line of a war between ukraine and russia and likely get sucked in. but what he s saying there is, come on. let s see some sanctions imposed
