why is it important? for many americans watching this show they think it's a european problem. why is it an american problem? >> russia is an american problem. russians interfered in our elections. they have launched massive cyberattacks including solarwinds. they allowed cyber hacking groups to homestead on their territory. they invited georgia, continue to occupy georgia. they invaded ukraine. impact on nato partners. impact on free trade. if we don't stand up for the territorial integrity of ukraine and their efforts to build a democracy i'm not so sure we stand for much of anything at all. i would recall president reagan invoking john winthrop city on the hill. democracy matters. doesn't mean we have to send troops to ukraine. we can shore up their defenses with more military assistance and diplomatic support. rachel: interesting perspective. that so much, dan.
