thank you. you re welcome. and welcomed with open arms. exactly. bianna, thanks so much. i know we ll be talking more about this. sure. coming up next, i speak with the ukrainian the only ukrainian board member of congress on the uprising. what she says about russia s next military move. plus, fears about adventure and space tourism after the deadly implosion of the titan submersible. should folks be going on these trips at all? this is. this is iowa.
it s always good to see you. initially what is your assessment of what you have seen unfold in terms of its import? good day. i think there is a couple of things we can take away from this already. yevgeny prigozhin talked about the rationale for the russian invasion of ukraine and he is probably very dangerous for putin. it undermines all of his narratives about nato threats and why russian troops are in ukraine so he s in big trouble for that alone but this military move that s going on is also a big distraction for i think both sides are still trying to talk each other off the ledge. you actually tweeted recently that in the past 24 hours has shown the importance of surprise but is not only surprise from within the same
