Look, a couple of things is he was a performer, kind of a vaudevillian, and he was an ordinary person thrown into a fraught time, rose to the occasion, was heroic, and I think is stuck And I think under a tremendous amount of pressure, I think that some of the government officials around him and the cabinet are very good.

I think some of the people around him, he's not getting the best advice, that his advisers are not perfect.

and you know who doesn't like that people with their hand in the till right right because we were regulating the flow of the money so i think that's part of the glitch i am hopeful that the that it was a bug not a feature of the system and that that's been fixed we're expecting a ukraine ukrainian technical team beginning of next week

I don't know. Tucker, in my life, I always try to look forward. And I think if this deal works, then that money could end up being small change. A good way to think about it When the Iron Curtain came down, Ukraine and Poland's economies were roughly the same size. Poland is three and a half or four times larger now. Yes.
