All right, Alexander, let's talk about the Trump-NATO weapons to Ukraine scheme, or should I call it a scam.

0:10.6

Let's call it a scheme.

0:11.8

Let's go just joking, just joking.

Let's call it the Ukraine, the purchase weapons, NATO purchase weapons from the United States to give to Ukraine
