All right, Alexander, let's talk about Kirstammer and his Coalition of the Willing,

which is now turning into the coalition of the volunteers, I guess,

because whatever countries want to volunteer to join Kirstammer on his Ukraine peacekeeper adventures,

they could go to the many meetings that he's holding in London,

but it does look like this coalition of the willing, which was the UK and France,

with a little bit of Denmark sprinkled in, that this thing has collapsed. What are your thoughts?

I think it has collapsed. I think it always always, it always had a balance of a quality of

unreality. But it's increasingly clear that more and more European countries are opting out

of it. Maloney in Italy has said no, she says that this whole, this whole thing is premature and

clear that she's not sending Italian troops to Ukraine under any circumstances. She's, I think,

seeing the polls in Italy and is getting the sense of Italian public opinion and they're

dead against it as are members of her own government.

I think Spain is coming out against it too.

I think in Germany there's no enthusiasm for this.

Poland is adamantly opposed to it because they see this as weakening Poland's own military defense.

So I think that what we've seen over the last couple of about last week is that more

and more European countries, the moment they began to understand that Starper was actually serious about this, they said enough enough.

Look, this man is out of his mind. We are not going to Ukraine. We don't want to have anything to do

with this. And they're pulling out. The other thing is, the Americans clearly are not behind this. They're not

going to provide the backstop. They're not going to provide the guarantee that Stama was

saying was the essential necessity for this. And so that's all ended. The Russians, of course,
