question on this specific, then we'll move on. but on this specific of sanctions, are you seriously saying to me that if the united states were to pre—empt any new move from putin and impose crippling sanctions now, you think vladimir putin would say, "oh, you know what, i've been rumbled here. i can't continue this confrontation. i'm going to back off, all my troops are going home. joe biden, you win." you really think that would happen? i think sanctions for the cyber events that have happened and things that have already happened, but i do think to lay out what the sanctions would be once an invasion occurs... we didn't see the chancellor from germany yesterday when he came to washington to basically say, and i was waiting for him to say, "if putin invades, we will shut down the nord stream ii pipeline." i didn't hear that from him. now the president, biden, said that... yeah. ..but not germany... but that, with all due respect,
