Well, to be clear, by the way, we already have a U.S. military presence in- But I meant like combat troops. Exactly. And it's a reminder that Putin has won in every possible respect already by the fact of Donald Trump's reelection. So now we're just- learning the details. And it's not an accident that the Russian state media, Russian newspapers calling this Putin's success already.

Getting Trump back to the table with Russia in and of itself is a victory for Putin after being isolated and marginalized. Trump has already spoken out loud and said that he would like to welcome Russia back into the G7 and turn it back into the G8. Something that the other leading countries rejected out loud, laughed out loud when he proposed this in his first term in office.

Yeah, I mean, I think that was the original hope, frankly, of Putin. And he has a long history of manipulating Ukrainian elections and dominating the country through, you know, sort of political methods, disinformation methods.
