So maybe a little hope that this is so shocking that maybe they will do something and maybe it'll remind them they can do a whole lot of other things as well.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: A Kleptocratic, Autocratic Cabal

I don't know if we do, actually.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: A Kleptocratic, Autocratic Cabal

I think we said, Trump said we do.

I read somewhere that there's still flights taking off, so I don't know.

Bill Kristol: A Kleptocratic, Autocratic Cabal

I still think Trump's aversion, the lesson he's learned that starting these wars doesn't work out well for presidents politically.

Every other dictator he runs into and can kind of deal with.

So I don't know.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: A Kleptocratic, Autocratic Cabal

It's so irresponsible.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: A Kleptocratic, Autocratic Cabal

It's so reckless.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: A Kleptocratic, Autocratic Cabal

I mean, apart from bombing a few places.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: A Kleptocratic, Autocratic Cabal

Yeah, they're selling out Ukraine, which has been fighting bravely, obviously, against invasion by a dictator, brutal invasion of a dictator, for the sake of their personal financial interest.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: A Kleptocratic, Autocratic Cabal

I mean, I hate to sound hysterical, but it almost literally is the definition of treason, right?

It's not treason because we're not fighting, it's Ukraine.
