who have worked with the Ukrainian military virtually and many who have traveled to Ukraine and resettled in Ukraine to help them there.

And that, in addition to some of the money that's been provided by Europe and the United States, has helped the Ukrainians to build a world class, perhaps

Israel would be also probably one or two, one of the best drone capabilities, military drone capabilities in the world.

And that is exactly what just happened.

They hid these drones in the top of containers that were brought into Russia on trucks,

Those containers were then sent all over Russia, some of which were very deep inside Russia.

And then all at once in one day, or at least the ones that we've now seen, maybe there are more that are still in hiding, they were ordered, directed to be deployed against Russian military bases and other infrastructure.

And I mean, this is not just close to the Russian front lines with Ukraine.

I mean, there was a military base that is on the Mongolian border.

We're talking thousands and thousands of miles away from the Ukrainian front.

And they were able to destroy advanced Russian strategic bombers in that base.

That is, it's unprecedented.

It reminds me a bit of what we saw with Israel

and Lebanon and Hezbollah, because Hezbollah we had for many years always been saying this is the most powerful non-state armed forces in the world and that Israel had to be very careful not to get involved in a war with them because it would be incredibly dangerous for Israel's own national security.

And then over a matter of days,

we find out that Israel has decapitated their leadership, completely taken out their communications systems and destroyed their military infrastructure, critically weakening Iran's geopolitical position in the Middle East as a consequence and leading to what is now the most...

the most progress that Trump has had in any diplomatic effort around the world, US Iran, which no one would have expected a few months ago, but started with a change in asymmetric warfare that Israel was able to perpetrate against Hezbollah.

This is now happening between Ukraine and Russia, obviously on a much more significant scale and with global, not just regional consequences, Helen.

So the Russians rely on a triad, as the Americans do, to deliver a nuclear arsenal in the event of the unthinkable, a nuclear war.

You have ballistic missiles, ICBMs, you have submarines that are nuclear capable, and you have the bomber fleet.
