But if it's a residential building, it's going to hit.

And so you're starting to see, you know, every time one of these attacks happens, between a dozen and 20 Ukrainian civilians killed.

But Putin misunderstands Ukraine.

He thinks Ukraine is a fake state.

It's not.

The people believe in Ukraine, and his attacks actually buck up societal resilience.

They strengthen it.

Societal resilience is not going to break.

Ukraine's not going to break.

And we're seeing the endgame for Putin play out.

It may take two or three years to play out, but we're seeing the endgame here.

So when I say two, three years, that's what they need to prepare for.

You know, hopefully it ends in six months.

You know, I do want that to happen.

But look, the latest, the updated number of Russian dead, you know, it moves around a lot.

It's somewhere between 375,000 and 500,000 dead and 1 million and like 1.1 million wounded.
