autocracies operate and certainly not the united states and all of this sort of weird language coming out of the official charges of the united states. what is going on? that is the question. when we have someone like jared kushner, who has gone from remodeling two bedrooms in soho, now advising the president, it gives pause for concern. i think there is a lack of seriousness here. there is just not a strategy. as malcolm pointed out, the lack of professionalism. and, you know, when it comes to those statements. i think that what you re seeing is, it s almost as if, you know, you have a ceo, the average rank and file is not going to deal with that ceo. but the ceo sets the culture. and when you set the culture, you know, even if you re not directing your individual departments, down to your individual employees, those people are going to act within that culture. and i think that s a very dangerous culture that s coming up here. so we need to, you know this needs to move forward. we
war, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, thriving cities, seoul, is going to be virtually destroyed even if we, quote, win, unquote. that s why you want to get to the table. not to underscore, make this too fine a point, but we have been in the region before as united states military and it was not what we would consider a most successful engagement. the korean war is the reason why we have a north and south korea. thank you all very much. nayyera and malcolm will be back later in the show. up next more on russia ties. a moment of maxine is next. stay right. there. you re going to be hanging out in here. so if you need anything, text me. do you play?
