00:00Jim, there is concerns and echoed across Europe, I think, that Russia may see this as a direct UK involvement in the war.
00:08Are we right to be concerned about that?
00:10Well, I think they already see that.
00:11I think the Russians see this as NATO versus Russia, European nations like the UK versus Russia.
00:19They like to personalize this thing, make it personal, make it something that will put fear into people's hearts,
00:26that don't make Russia mad, you know, don't upset Russia, don't cause escalation.
00:32But we've seen in the past that there's not a Russian response that we should be afraid of.
00:38And if we are afraid of them, that will only have more aggression rain down on Europe because the Russians sense a weakness caused by that fear.
00:50So there is nothing to be afraid of.
00:53And at a time like this, we have to show strength and unity.
