All right, Alexander, let's talk about the talk about Trump-Putin meeting.

We've got a few more days left of the Biden administration, and then Trump takes office.

And the word is that Trump is going to go for a phone call with Putin.

Actually, Mike Waltz, the incoming NSA, said as much

during an interview with ABC News. He said that there will be a phone call between Trump and Putin

within the next couple of days or a couple of weeks. So we said it on this channel, I believe,

a month ago, that the first stage of a Trump-Putin

dialogue is most likely not going to take the form of an actual physical meeting.

It'll probably happen via a telephone call or a video call or something like that, which makes

sense because they have to establish some sort

of dialogue, some sort of contact, given everything that has happened over the past three, four

years under the Biden administration. So what are your thoughts on what Mike Waltz said with

regards to a call taking place between Trump and Putin, Waltz also said some other interesting

things during the interview with ABC News. And he said some alarming things as well. For example,

the mobilization of 18-year-olds in order to stabilize the front so that the Trump White House

can get leverage in possible negotiations with Russia,

because right now the front line is collapsing.

So Waltz talked about the 18-year-old's mobilization.

He talked about the North Koreans as well.

It led me to believe that Waltz is getting up to speed on Ukraine, but he still has a lot of gaps as well.

At least that was the impression.

It was very much a mixed message.
