So, as we think about sanctions, and what should be done tomorrow, and i said tomorrow, on purpose, by the way. this notion that we need to say something, keep our powder dry, i completely disagree with that analysis, i think we need to put everything on the table that we can, economic chopping off to the best of our abilities. i think needs to include mr. lukashenko in belarus, they are allies on this war, they now need to be sanctioned as well. >> and you believe it should also hit the russian...

Belarus thinks they are going to get in and start helping out. i cannot believe that lukashenko would bring his country into this and ostracize himself from the rest of the world. i dont know if he has a choice, but is this the only place really that we can resupply ukraine now? poland? >> well we can go from other areas. we can also try to do it covertly. i mean we have the capability to lend that remote airfield at night they dont even have lights. we can airdrop things and use precision guide...

Getting rid of lukashenko this year who was the only one in power longer than putin in europe and clearly, putin responded very aggressively to that. the second is putins complete mismanagement of covid. at one point, we had officials from russia couple days ago, some estimate over the course of a year russia lost a million people even if they werent all classified as covid deaths but clearly that had a tremendous impact. and third is just that he has been increasingly isolated. weve seen that h...
