Well, the good news is that... There's already a lot of aid flowing to Ukraine from non-American sources. And then you can add into that Canada, Australia, and indeed even some other Asian countries, Japan and others. The bad news is that that 40% of American aid includes some stuff that is pretty significant. So that's things like...

air defense systems that can take out big Russian ballistic missiles. It includes intelligence support to help Ukraine understand what's going on, where the Russians are, how to target their missiles. And it includes some commercial services provided by American companies The most famous one, of course, being Starlink, the communication systems provided by Elon Musk's SpaceX.

There's no indication that has stopped right now, those things, intelligence or Starlink. But there is a concern, obviously, that that could be severed at some stage.

Yeah. It means Ukraine's in trouble. It doesn't mean it's in immediate trouble. You know, there's enough stuff in the pipeline, enough stuff in their stockpiles in order to keep going, certainly through spring, probably through the summer. There's a lot, you know, the Biden administration gave them a ton of stuff just before they finished their time in office.

And if you look at what Ukraine's defense industry is making, we must remember here, Ukraine had this huge defense industry in Soviet times, right? It was like the specialist maker of, I think, guidance systems for Soviet ballistic missiles in the Soviet Union. So it has this incredible engineering skill.

It's building out huge numbers of strike drones that are now providing the lion's share of casualties in the war. The Ukrainian government says they can make about 40% of their battlefield needs. But anyway, all in all, that's great.

But if the Americans cut everything and run, then we would be in a battlefield crisis probably by the end of this year, maybe early next year, where ammunition would be running dry, the Russian Air Force would be able to go over Ukraine more easily. And to answer your question directly, no, Ukraine would not be able to win. It would have to stay on the defensive.
