Absolutely. And so here's an interesting statistic. I'm actually going to give two versions of it because it's a little bit ambiguous. But the one version that was cited in the Wall Street Journal recently is even more optimistic for the argument I'm making. But let me let me use a version that came from a Ukrainian security official that we quoted in our piece.

According to him, what Ukraine relies on militarily is 40 percent manufactured domestically in Ukraine. Right. 30 percent comes from the United States. Another 30 percent comes from Europe. And according to him, even if the United States cuts us off completely, it'll be bad and there'll be things that we can't source so easily. But it ain't the end of the world. Right.

The Russians might take more territory a little more quickly, but we're not looking at a collapse of Kiev in two weeks or a month or even necessarily six months. Right. Right. Right. Right. which is keeping the Russians at bay at the front line. That's just raw materials.

That's stuff that can be bought on commercial markets or just investing in Ukraine's own manufacturing capability, which is growing exponentially all the time. That's the first set of statistics. The Wall Street Journal had a piece which cited, and they didn't give a source for it, but they said, actually, it's 55%. is coming from inside Ukraine already.

And then the remainder comes from the Europeans and the Americans. So just to put things in perspective, and this is another lie that Maga likes to tell, that we have given more than the Europeans. No, we haven't. Not only have we not given more than the Europeans, they have outspent us, especially in the last year when we had our supplemental freeze for six to eight months.

But the Ukrainians themselves are standing up on their own two feet. Remember, in the Soviet period, this was the industrial hub of the Soviet Union, where all the components for their ICBMs and their tanks and everything came from Ukraine. This is not a country that lacks for engineers or technical know-how. They need money and they need, of course, the security to continue to build.
