Nonetheless, I think if a Cold War escalates to a hot war, we as the West writ large need to be in a position where we either have stockpiled enough to make it through a conflict Or we have developed, ideally, our own supply chains for those individual components. What would lead to a Cold War becoming a hot war? A few things that could happen. I think you could see North Korea get spicier.

I think you could see an invasion of Taiwan that would get very spicy. I think you could see Russian expansionism vis-a-vis Ukraine kind of keep pushing into Eastern Europe. And I think it's a pretty hot topic in Europe these days. that would get pretty spicy and escalate.

And then I also think freedom of movement of ships and commercial traffic through the South China Sea, like a massive amount of our livelihood depends on ships moving in and out of the South China Sea. So I think if you started to see freedom of navigation get compromised, that could pretty quickly escalate into a hot war.

But vis-a-vis Andoril, what we see is we see that deterrence of long-term hot war conflict ultimately comes through strength and that there is a weakness begets hot wars.

So from our perspective, we view it as we want to equip our military, the militaries of the UK, the West, our allies, Australia, et cetera, with the best possible technology to make the cost of escalating into a hot war for our enemies, for our opponents prohibitively expensive.

My guess is that we see some sort of detente or some sort of negotiated settlement take place probably over the next year would be my guess. And if I had to bet, it looks something like Russia annexing a chunk of Eastern Ukraine more or less along the line of conflict where the line has, for better or worse, kind of held for the last year or so.

And then the war kind of deescalates and everybody goes back to rebuilding.

Yeah, political proclamations like that are easy to make on a campaign stage and hard in practice. We'll see. We'll see. I mean, I'm optimistic that he'll be able to find a resolution. I just I think in practice, it's actually pretty hard.
