and i m also sort of looking to see what the ukrainian armies are doing, and how they are stepping up training. also, really is putin going to move more troops into the border area in belarus he has them in now? is this really just a military exercise, which i obviously do not think it is. former director of europe an affairs says war a inevitable. do you agree? i listened to him earlier. i agree the u.s. approach reactionary and very much defense. we re reacting to every putin is doing rather than having a plan of attack and understanding him. just like he s trying to understand us. for me, i do feel at some point war is inevitable. look, we had him annexing crimea and other regions. i think at some point that this is going to come to a head. thank you so much for your
