Yeah, I mean, that certainly is possible. I think that the Kursk, the Ukrainian presence in Kursk is... Well, it's just a matter of time before the Ukrainians lose their foothold in Russia. The Russians are determined to take it back. I have a feeling that this isn't one that Putin will negotiate for. I think it's a matter of honor for Putin and for the Russians to retake that territory. So

You know, one of the arguments I'm hearing about for permitting the long range strike capabilities is to force the Russians to the table, right, to get them to negotiate a settlement. But the Ukrainians insist that the only settlement they'll accept is full Russian withdrawal. That's not going to happen. It's not. Absolutely not. And then the argument is, well, Putin's not going to negotiate.

He wants to take the whole of Ukraine or split Ukraine or he's not going to. So if you're not going to be able to get Putin to the table, how does launching missiles, which, by the way, may have the opposite effect. of what you think. It may harden Putin and it may harden the Russian people to fight harder to dismantle a Ukrainian government. The fact is, is the Ukrainians are losing.

And I don't like this. You know, I keep making these arguments, Mike, because it sounds I'll get accused of being pro Putin for this, but We have to look at the reality on the ground. Ukraine is a country with a quarter population, probably more like a fifth at this point, given all the exodus of people from Ukraine.

The fifth of the population of Russia does not have its own industrial capability. Russia is a nuclear armed country. It has a large economy with petroleum and other exports. It has a large manufacturing base. It makes its own weapons. These are all stacked against Russia.

against Ukraine, we could provide a limited number of weapons systems, even the long range strike systems that we send to the Ukrainians. There's only so many of them that we can send. So they're going to have limited capacity. This war was always stacked against Ukraine.

Ukraine would have been wise to take whatever kind of deal it could and then revamped and rearmed for whatever future conflict may come. Thinking that we're going to drive the Russians to the table by allowing low range strike capabilities for a limited number of missiles and rockets is just it's fantasy to me.
