Tim, it is good to be with you.
Thanks for having me on this morning.
Lots going on for sure.
Yeah, I was listening to part of the press conference with Erdogan this morning, Tim.
It was a smorgasbord of...
contradictions of what he's posted recently, that in combination with continued insults of the NATO alliances, why he's mad at everybody and why he's not mad at Prime Minister Maloney anymore.

casualties in that country, even though the war continues.
