most important european power and the most important european friend of the united states confronting this really massive foreign policy crisis. a crisis that even angela merkle never saw 130,000 russian troops ready to intervene and invade even more than it's done in the past. he's got a very tough task ahead of himself. luckily he's now, i think in the oval office discussing what president biden will want to do. so far he's tried to get his sea legs. i hope he walks out of the oval afs confident and aligned in lock step as the president said with all nato allies to see this moment through. >> it's hard to see how that will happen. thus far, germany has sent helmets to ukraine, not weapons. does that give us a clue for kwhast going to happen today and in a couple of weeks ahead?
