Well, the significance of the long-range missiles, I mean, twofold.

First of all, obviously, they can hit targets that up until now the Ukrainians haven't been able to hit, including, depending on exactly which missile system we're talking about, Moscow.

So they can take the war directly there.

The other aspect of this to understand is

Firing the missile is one thing.

Telling the missile where it's going to go is another.

And that targeting data and everything that goes into that process requires direct involvement of the United States, really.

I mean, we boiled down to simplify it.

We got to help them and make it possible for this to happen.

So it is a very significant step.

What do I think is going on?

Look, Trump has been pretty clear to Putin, I want to end the war.

Trump has been very clear to Zelensky.

You're not getting all your territory back.

You need to just bite the bullet and accept it and drop that demand.

Effectively, things are going to end up at best with everybody where they are right now.

I don't mean to say like down to the square meter, but...

That's where it's gonna be.

And those are huge things.

Putin is still dragging his feet.
