indication yet that investigators remain skeptical that trump has been fully cooperative in their efforts to recover documents the former president was supposed to have turned over to the national archives at the end of his term. here s how team trump responded to brat according to the new york times reporting. the outreach from the department prompted a rift among trump s lawyers about how to respond, one camp counseling a cooperative approach that would include bringing in an outside firm to conduct a further search for documents. and another camp advising trump to maintain a more combative posture. the more combative camp, the people briefed on the matter said, won out. to put all this in perspective. after months of pleading by the national archives, a subpoena from the department of justice back in may, a court-approved search of president trump s private golf club and residents which yielded 11,000 government documents, all in all, a process that has now gone on for m
with the capacity to do that. if they are already struggling in donbas, to go on to take odessa and, then all the way to transnistria, i don t think that they have the military capability to do that. but, moldova is not in nato, in moldova would be very hard pressed to fight the russians, should they choose to do, expanding into transnistria, and beyond. as you mentioned, moldova is not a member of nato. so, what would happen if the war were to spillover, into a nato country? i think, that would be a very low probability event. so, russia is threatening that, putin is threatening that. using nuclear weapons, to. so, i think it s pretty interesting. we have this big debate about whether nato was a good thing to do, or a bad thing to do, before this war. but, the fact that putin has not attacked one nato country, i think, shows the virtue of nato expansion.

i don t envy the biden administration for making these choices when facing the threats. but on the three big packages of threats, i think two of the three are off the table. one strategic nuclear war with us off the table. they mated that crystal clear. attack on nato. i think that s a very, very low probability event. if you re losing against ukraine, you re going to attack the most powerful alliance in the world, anchored by the most powerful military in the world? i think that s very unlikely. the tactical nuclear weapon is the one i worry about in particular because that is something thapt is in their doctrine and 2, we have not made clear we will response in a commiserate way. we ve been ambiguous about that. i think we need to be careful to assume that would be what he does. he does that, he alienates the entire world, not just us. let me follow up on that
that. and i want to underscore, it s not just about me and those 11 people that were named. it s about every diplomat in the world, every soldier serving overseas today, every intelligence officer out there right now. we have to protect our own people against autocratic dictators who are using these laws and then abusing interpol to harass people like me. and it s very clear that according to widely-held belief, the russians are playing hard, they re playing to kill. look what happened in the uk. yes. you don t mess with the russians when they think that they can get away with something. that s a great point. you know, i keep saying, is it i think it s a very low probability event that the russians will indict and prosecute some crime against me in absentia, right? it s a low probability event. and then for them to abuse interpol, even lower probability event. but let s remember, i also thought, and i think most of the world thought it was a low
