Will this have been worth it?

Well, again, we'll have to look at, you know, over the longer run.

I think the other thing that we know about wars is that they're unpredictable and that they have many unanticipated consequences.

So I think as we watch what's happening now and see what impact does that have on oil and gas prices, predictable, so you can see, and going and going.

Well, what impact does that have on other countries?

huge.

So the number of countries now whose economies are being disrupted by this impact and therefore blaming us for it.

I had a call from someone in Taiwan yesterday saying, wait a minute, did anybody think what it's doing for us?

Since they had about half of their

Their electricity comes from their natural gas that is now not coming.

If you ask about what is this meaning for Ukraine, all the patriots that were to hope to prevent missile strikes from Russia on Ukraine are now in the Middle East.

So that's that many more target.

I'm afraid I agree, yes.

I think the uncertainties about that, I mean, you can do four or five different scenarios for how this might conceivably end.

It could end up being an extended civil war in Iran among the various national groups, even some of them possibly seceding.
