00:00I believe what Putin is attempting to do is eliminate the identity of Ukraine, the identity.
00:06He can't occupy it, but he can try to destroy its identity.
00:10And the reason I bother to mention that is he has to pay, and Russia has to pay a long
00:16-term price for that
00:17in terms of the sanctions that have been imposed.
00:21And the reason I bother to say this, it's not just about Ukraine.
00:24If, in fact, after all he's done, there's a rapprochement met between China—I mean, excuse me, between the Ukrainians and
00:33Russia,
00:36and these sanctions are not continuing to be sustained in many ways,
00:40then what signal does that send to China about the cost of attempting—attempting to take Taiwan by force?
00:48They're already flirting with danger right now by flying so close and all the maneuvers that are undertaken.
00:54Thank you.
