and this affinity for russia is very are, a very curious thing. and bear in mind, russia is an existential threat to this country. they emboorkd a very aggressive modernization program. they have a very aggressive counter space program. and these are all designed with one adversary in mind. that s the united states. by the way, they re in violation of the inch nm treaty. so they are not our friends and are not doing, they are not going to do anything in our interests. lastly, how would you describe president trump s response to this adversary since taking office? well, again, it appears to me that the approach to be taken is to be very city polisolicitous.
