00:00And I think this is where some of the concern comes in.

00:03It comes in right now.

00:05It's summertime.

00:07We've seen Russia and Ukraine upping the ante.

00:11When it comes to the war that's happening, we always hear about a summer offensive.

00:15But also when just having a look at the weapons that the U.S. will be sending,

00:20it's defensive weapons yet again.

00:23And I feel like, you know, the rhetoric we're hearing from Donald Trump

00:27and we've been hearing from the European leaders is Trump has to realise

00:32and maybe is realising and the European leaders have realised

00:36diplomacy is just not working with Vladimir Putin.

00:39So are we going to see just defensive weapons go in to Ukraine

00:44or does it have to be a shift?

00:47I don't think we're going to see an on-ground offensive from the U.S.'s point of view

00:50in the near future on this.

00:52But for sure, I think we do need to see some...

00:55The strength and power is what Russia responds to over diplomacy.

00:59And we've seen that happen time and time again.

01:07We can send the missiles over.

01:08We can help them out a lot.

01:09Without actually doing that, I don't think Russia's going to listen.

01:13They are autocratic in their own way and they just...

01:15That's how they manage things.

01:17And that's probably what they respond best to is a show of strength

01:20and a show of power, which I think is what Trump is now trying to place

01:22upon Putin to try and get some sort of a reaction.

01:25That's how he's��ed with money.

01:35I think he's going to be a little bit different.

01:38He's going to be a little bit different.

01:40So, if he's going to be a little bit different,

01:40he's going to be a little bit different.

01:44So, he's going to be a little bit different.

01:47So, when he comes to an attack,

01:49we're going to try and get some stuff in the world
