So they put a gun to Putin's head and told him, Vladimir, if you don't invade, we shoot you. How did they cause Putin to invade Ukraine?

It's not religion. You can always find explanation. for everything. And, you know, in the end, it's intellectual integrity.

It's a question of intellectual integrity. And I will also say another thing.
