And that was part of my thesis in that article with foreign policy, we probably should have started manning them up with lethal weapons back in 2014. but everybody was afraid of exacerbating russia at the time. this is across all administrations. nobody wanted to, you know, provoke a fight with vladimir putin. well, here we are. so, now were playing a catch up game but its gone actually pretty well. i mean, $350 million of aid is flowing in there. so a lot of the effective lethal tools that were...
