it would rally the world against them more than they are. there s always the danger that of course, the trick of a trip like this, that there are rogue elements you can t control that aren t on order from moscow. what do you make of the big taking off from belarus and triggering the air-raid siren? probably a little bit of saber rallying, we re here, we re in charge in this part of the world no matter what you think. obviously it didn t stop president biden, and what was striking was watching him walk down that path unflustered, clearly by the air-raid sirens going on around him. that sent a strong message to moscow. it was amazing. peter baker, thank you very much. and we have more breaking news out of turkey, another earthquake, 6.3 magnitude after shock hit the south of the country along the syrian border, shaking some of the same places that traumatized survivors are living in tents. it is not clear the amount of additional damage this quake caused or if there was anymore los
