i've been very clear about this, it is unrealistic for anyone, including president zelenskyy, to think he's going reclaim all of the territory that putin has stolen, including crimea. i think that a solution that may have some legs eventually is crimea has a referendum. i believe that they will vote to remain with russia. and then there's going to be a negotiated settlement in the east. putin cannot keep all the territory that's under his control. at the same time he's probably not going to go back to pre-2014 boredders, or at least lines to control. so that's going to be a sticking point. also, i'm sure putin is going to insist that ukraine never join nato. that will be a negotiating point where is it a moratorium of five years, 10 years, 15 years. i think ukraine eventually should have that right. we did sign, the united states did sign the budapest memory dumb, where we -- memorandum, where we promised to come to their aid if they were invaded. they did that. again, as one of your previous callers mentioned, word mean things. we have to be a nation of our words, so we can be trusted
