I'm John Bachelors with my colleague Mary Kistel, Executive Vice President

Stephen's Incorporated former Senior Advisor to the Secretary of State. I tick off some points, Mary. They're not all the

same weight, but they come at the same time. The F-16 down the loss of a pilot, trained for a year to fly the

F-16 to defend Ukraine.

At the same time, Vladimir Putin in Mongolia Ukraine says arrest him,

you're a member of the ICC.

No arrest, no comment from Mongolia.

At the same time time an election in Germany,

alternative for Deutschland, which is avowedly against NATO, against the

EU, against immigrants, and against the Ukraine war.

And then we have the continuing dialogue to be generous between Kief and Washington

about what weapons and how can we use them to defend ourselves.

The Ukraine policy then again is up for review because we have a presidential contest.

Someone new is going to be in the Oval Office in January of this year.

I can guess at Mr. Trump's policy, he's voiced it, I'll settle the war,

I cannot guess at Miss Harris's, or I have not read of it, other than to presume

it means as long as it takes. What does that mean, Mary? I've never asked that question.

It's a puzzling phrase, John, because it implies that the United States has no say over how long this war will drag on.

When in fact we do because we have the world's largest most sophisticated military

and we have stockpiles of weaponry, airplanes,

material that we can give Ukraine

to give them the upper hand in the conflict.
