Welcome to Politics by Faith. Thanks for being here.

So we had our wonderful Breitbart World editor on the Series XM show the other day,

and she brought forward an analysis that I've never heard before and checks out,

and it's dark, but it's probably more realistic than what I've been considering.

I made a flippant comment because it would have been on Friday show that this meeting with Putin and then today we had all the world leaders, a bunch of world leaders from Europe, join the president at the White House, never a gathering like this at the White

House ever with all these European leaders. And they got there in like a day. Trump called the meeting and everyone dropped everything and showed up. And it was great. And a wonderful sign of Trump's power and strength and prestige and influence. And they all talked about how Trump made all this happen. It was great. So it was all good. but and I said a comment

I was like you know

this is all good developments

if you want the warding talked about how Trump made all this happen. It was great. So it was all good.

But, and I said a comment, I was like, you know,

this is all good developments if you want the war to end.

If you don't want the war to end, then I guess it's not very good.

And then I just moved on.

But Francis came in and she said,

there's a high likelihood that Putin does not want this war to end. And it's like, well, maybe Russia, maybe Putin doesn't want the war to end. So I'm doing this analysis on the ending of this war from a very, and you and I, we're doing it from a rational perspective, as if there's rational actors. Like, oh, wow wow a lot of people are dying that's terrible

therefore we should end the war well how can we do that well we'll give up a little land we'll get a

security guarantee let me slow that down Ukraine gets a security guarantee from all of Europe

sort of like a NATO section 5 that says if if Ukraine's attacked then you're attacking the whole world that will all attack you back.

So a little preventative measure there.

Ukraine can get that.

And then Russia gets a little bit of land.

They'll get Crimea.
