All right, Alexander. Let's talk about the conflict in Ukraine. And let's focus on Istanbul Plus.

You coined that term Istanbul Plus. So let's remember that. A very good way to describe the the possible the possible framework for

negotiations to take place between Russia and Ukraine or Russia and the collective West

but before we get to Istanbul Plus before we get to some of the statements coming out of the United Nations Security Council with regards to Ukraine if Istanbul is rejected, which most likely it will be, but we'll get to that.

Let's actually start off the video talking about the op-ed in the New York Times a couple of days ago from J.D. Vance.

until victory, whatever, however that is defined, are being completely delusional.

The United States isn't making enough weapons.

It's not producing enough ammunition.

It's not producing enough Patriot missiles.

It's, you know, not producing tanks or infantry fighting vehicles,
