i think that s just about fair. it s not a quid pro quo. it just goes without saying. that s a strong rebuke. efb though the president is saying he is saying that i did nothing wrong. he s defending me. well, when i read that it was almost heart rending to me. i first went to the ukraine and it was 1992 to open up a military intelligence relationship with them. and i have visited since. and i have great respect regard for the ukrainian people. and what they re trying to do. when you read that, and you it s really a profound statement. a compelling statement. i should say. about the ukraine dependence on us. and i thought that he made a pretty profound point there. and forget the quid pro quo stuff. we need the assistance.
they all won in iowa and that was key. the question is and i think we ll see at wednesday s debate does warren, does joe biden, b does bernie sanders, are they concerned enough that start going after buttigieg. and there s almost a t ten-point gap and we saw joe biden and warren go down. they seem to be in the same bubble. so should he be worried here? i think one of the things we ve seen is as someone emerges as biden started on top and efb went after him and he came county down a little bit. elizabeth warren raceded to the top in iowa and she was attacked and came down. so i think he ll get a lot of attacks. i think buttigieg has the opportunity to kind of transcend these labels of lanes. he s got, he reminds me a little bit of early obama in the campaign where he goes in and people like him but they re not, they don t like him because they consider themselves a moderate or progressive. they like him because what he s
then when you conquer land, when you get the bad guys out, you don t want to own real estate in the middle east. we tried it in iraq, afghanistan, it doesn t work. so those forces can occupy those areas without it being seen as a western american imperial action. that s why the kurds were just brilliant, priceless allies because they were locals. they spoke the language. they could go into these places. the next time around, what donald trump has done is forced the into a situation where it will have to go in. it will have to occupy because who s going to be willing to do it? given what we did and you know, what s ooefb even the saddest part about it is having done it, he has, he has mocked the kurds. he has mocked the participation. their heroism. he s questioned whether or not they had mixed motives. they weren t there for us during world r war 2. i mean these are who have fought
