I'm John Bax with my colleague Anatole

leaving of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

In the last week, in temperate remarks by the former president of the United States

Mr. Trump about NATO at the same time an interview given by Vladimir Putin to

a celebrity journalist in Moscow mentioning Poland, mentioning Lithuania, mentioning how NATO is the adversary, mentioning

Nazis.

It was a display of what you'd have to say the world as I see it by the now candidate one

more time president of Russia however inside all of this is the question of after Ukraine, if there is such a moment, what

about this confrontation with NATO?

And we have this fresh story of a serious national security threat, who knows what it is, but it's said to be part of the briefing by the National Security Advisor to the gang of aid in Congress within these next hours.

Fine. It probably involves low Earth orbit. It probably

involves satellites. It probably involves Starlink. We're only guessing that

I mention this because it is now,

Anna told, no longer those broken Russian armor columns

that couldn't overcome the resistance of the brave Ukrainians. It's a threat from space. Nuclear

weapons are part of a story in space, how to take out satellites, but so is the

fact that the Russians have leapfrogged into another technology.

And then I get suspicious because that package that's tied up in Congress is linked to defense

of Ukraine and defense of NATO?

Are you suspicious as suddenly we have a new Russian threat?

Well, I am a bit, yes, about the timing.

Because, you know know I've been hearing from my own sources
