russia continues its incursion into ukraine, but this is the situation we're in that's sort of this crisis of vladimir putin's own creating. i believe it's a direct result of president biden's handling of afghanistan. so by that precipitous withdrawal from our longstanding nato-led coalition in afghanistan, i think he signaled to the kremlin that he's willing to take more of a back seat on foreign policy. whereas former president trump was regularly accused of being, you know, just thinking about america, being an isolationist, but i think there was a sense that he was willing to be tough when he needed to be and that's sort of an open question now with president biden. we'll see what comes in brussels and vienna. it's positive he's promising sanctions but it may require something stronger than that. >> white house officials have actually faced questions about the afghanistan aspect of this and how it's played out on the world stage. they don't think it's a factor into it, not a major one at least. congressman kennedy, talking to the domestic agenda that's happening for democrats. they're back in washington next
