And I think that, you know, it's another of those clarifying moments in which Donald Trump specializes, right, Tim?

He's not going to sell out Ukraine.

Europeans were shocked and terrified to realize that all their sort of fantasy hopes of maybe it won't be so bad after Trump. gets reelected, you know, dashed almost in an instant in the last few weeks.

Correct. And I actually think it does matter. I mean, you know, but to your point, I remember a debate I had over dinner at a very senior European ambassador's home with a Republican who just this morning I saw, you know, tweeting as the first critical tweet I've ever seen this Republican who's very pro-Trump make about Trump.

And it was specifically in regards to Putin, you know, something like, gee, you know, you wouldn't want to invite Hannibal Lecter to dinner.
