So, I mean, one other way that this ends is if Putin's done for, if there is a limited palace coup that takes him out.
or if the Ukrainians were able to target and take him out.
And believe me, if they had an open shot at him, they probably would.
They know that he's doing the same against Zelensky.
So, I mean, I think that there's like the easy way, which is Putin actually accepts
There's the easy way, which is Putin actually accepts, okay, we gotta like, you know, calm this down.

But absent those two things, it gets worse.
it gets worse.
And we are seeing that the Russians are, they're stepping up their attacks on civilian targets inside Kiev.
And as they do that, the Ukrainians are going after all these refineries across Russia.
I mean, this does not look like we're about to have a ceasefire.
I think that we've actually passed peak Trump disruption on the global stage.
His ability, whether it's on tariffs and hitting the Chinese, or it's on Russia and doing a deal over the heads of the Europeans and Ukrainians, or whether it's Iran and forcing them to capitulate.
Ultimately, the limits on Trump's power globally have become more clear.
That will become even more so after the midterm elections in November.
And so seeing countries being able to hedge, stand up for themselves, look forward to what a post-Trump-America relationship is like, those are things that are going to become more clear, I think, and more clarifying to us over the course of the coming months.
Happy summer, everybody.

that President Trump put to the American people back when he launched the strikes on Iran.
