of flex on either side of this, either from the west, who has denied the ridiculous requests on the part of russia, and russia has made those requests and said that's it, it's a package. you can't even pull it apart. i do have to say there is a word in russian, and it means basically, abnormally rude. and to sort of assign washington a homework project and say hey, we need these answers in writing back from you, double spaced by next week, is a little bit rude. and i think that the administration is going to try to take advantage of that and say look, we're going to make it very clear in black and white as you requested that these are our red lines. we do not let a power like the soviet union or russia tell ukraine, a free democracy, who it can and who it cannot associate with. i expect that's going to be the gist of what's going on and what the paper that washington is going to give to lavrov and his negotiators back in moscow. >> the word is nagli? i vice president heard of that
