Analogy, it is useful to visualize, but it is not like the window is going to close. this is a continuum. we re seeing really right now is that as the climate warms, we get into some stiffer head winds, some of the feedback may be harder to act. i don t want to talk about a window closing, once the window closes, there is nothing you can do. everything you do will combat against the worst outcomes. we need to do everything we can to keep moving forward. before we go, what is the most positive development you have seen happen in this space? something out here, out there, folks can look to and say, that s good news, someone is making the difference. the most positive element i would say is how much attention is being paid right now. as much as heat waves like this are a terrible tragedy for those who are affected by them, they are really foliy focusing the w attention. if we can pull our collective will to focus on this problem like we have never have before, there is a lot we can ac
We ve been clear about those areas. it is the placement of missiles in europe. it has broader arms control, efforts to increase transparency, stability. that is to say, we want to pursue all of these areas together with the russian federation in full coordination with our partners and allies. precisely because making progress in these areas would be positive on american national security, transatlantic security, and also if done if good faith, help address the stated concerns in moscow. certainly could. we did get the clearest time line yet of a possible russian invasion from the deputy secretary of state, wendy sherm an, today. she said likely between now and the middle of february. is the window closing for the u.s. to commit to stronger deterrence? well, when it comes to the time frame. there s only one person who knows that with any certainty and that s vladimir putin and i
