physically seize an election and put out this draft where they said they would have 60 days to sort of research things and come up with a recommendation that could have kept trump in power past biden s inauguration. another example of a way, you know, showing that the ex president was so desperate to keep power that he was even looking at these extremes and just to sort of remind listeners, the wlhite house counsel with donald trump through and through both impeachments and the mueller report et cetera was pushing back on this idea in the white house. it will be interesting to see what the january 6th committee comes up with who wrote the document and knew about it and also as defense secretaries of old including republican defense secretaries were telling the white house and telling administration, the military should have nothing to do with elections. we re also learning, i mean, this week about an attempt to submit fraudulent electors backed by the trump campaign.
ground incursion into ukraine at this particular moment in his presidency. look, the stakes are incredibly high for biden. it s a major test for him on the world stage. everyone of course watching china and north korea, et cetera. he also has a little control, in fact, no control over what vladimir putin decides to do. there are not going to be new sanctions we don t believe until there is some type of invasion or incursion. there are multiple sanctions already. this is a major test for president biden who sought to reset the relationship with russia. it was only six or seven months ago that he was standing in geneva with president putin trying to get a new chapter in this relationship and i think president biden is not naive about this, at all. he s been watching vladimir putin for a long time but not much he can do at the moment. the interesting thing is keeping the nato allies together.
