So before tanks rolling into Poland, I think we'd probably see something very similar to 2014, the little green men moving into some of the Baltics.
Look, if the US and NATO is going to stand by in eastern Ukraine and not even provide funding and equipment, why wouldn't Putin roll the dice on some of these Baltic states that they will also view as historically Russian?
That, I think, is the next thing.
Now, if they never get through Ukraine, I don't think they have the opportunity to consider that.
And certainly if they lose in Ukraine, it's off the table.
So to me, that's the thing, is if we allow this to continue, if Putin is able to achieve some degree of success, I think it would embolden him to push further and
I think NATO has been a good thing.
I think the post-World War II order has been good for the United States, selfishly.
And if we start to see NATO questioned like that, I think it would run the risk of kind of changing the entire world as we know it.
So we got the opportunity to go down to Kherson, a city in kind of the southeastern portion of Ukraine now, right along the Dnipro River.
And it's a unique place because the forces are separated by that river.
Across the river are Russians.
On this side of the river are Ukrainians to include civilians who, as an act of defiance against Putin, have said, we're not leaving our home.
And this territory was occupied by Russia for a period at the beginning of the war.
It's an area known as the drone safari, the human safari, where Russians are actively using every single day, using drones to kill Ukrainian civilians that remain there.
We went to a school to drop off some supplies and it was a beautiful day outside.
