All right, Alexander, let's talk about Trump's meeting with Mark Ruder and the NATO CEO and his statement about Russia.

The big announcement about Russia, 50 days to, I guess to wrap up the Ukraine war to agree to a ceasefire.

I'm not really clear as to what the 50 days, the ultimatum, really is all about.

But Russia has 50 days to dissolve this or to come to some sort of an agreement with Ukraine.

And or else, 100% tariffs, maybe, perhaps.

Weapons sold to NATO, and then NATO will give the weapons to Ukraine.

We have some talk about what kind of weapons these are going to be, but nothing is really definite either

with the weapons as well that are going to be sold to NATO and given to Ukraine. And this is a

difficult process as well. I've been reading on the whole process of selling weapons to

Ukraine and then giving those weapons to, selling weapons to NATO, then giving them to Ukraine.

There are all kinds of obstacles and hurdles to that as well, including the fact that there

are no weapons and there is no money.

But anyway, Alex, I had to do your thoughts on everything Trump said yesterday.

This is one of the strangest decisions and statements I have ever heard coming from the US government and

I've heard some, listen to some very strange decisions in my lifetime, is one of those things

where, you know, everything looks in the distance, you know, fairly clear, and then you go up

close, it all sort of dissolves.

Because none of it, none of it actually makes a huge amount of sense.

Let's talk about the weapons first, because that's the one that I think the Russians were most

interested in.

They were less worried about the sanctions, but they were very well, you know, they had been

thinking about the weapons.
