His political situation is not extraordinarily stable, he\u2019s concerned about domestic flight, if you will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Todd went on to explain that political unrest could potentially lead to an exodus of wealthy elites \u2014 those who had the means to escape ahead of a potentially ugly situation. \u201cThe wealthy people just take off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn some ways it\u2019s understandable what Zelensky is saying,\u201d Todd continued. \u201cBut it is disconcerting that the western allies and Zelensky aren\u2019t in the same place rhetorically. Not having this united front on Putin is not a good look when we\u2019re supposedly this close to wondering what he\u2019s going to do next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019d think they would have aligned a little better on their long phone call, more than an hour, between President Biden and Zelensky this week,\u201d Geist agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Reports on that phone call earlier in the week indicated that President Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were at odds over whether or not they believed Russian President Vladimir Putin planned to attack Ukraine in the near future \u2014 and since the call, both Biden and Zelensky have disputed the claims made by officials about what was said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Ukrainian official describes Biden-Zelensky phone call to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mchancecnn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mchancecnn<\/a> NOTE: Since this report, WH &amp; Zelensky spokesman have disputed official\u2019s claims (see thread) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B2WV4ACL28\">pic.twitter.com\/B2WV4ACL28<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Lead CNN (@TheLeadCNN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheLeadCNN\/status\/1486897739782926340?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 28, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The White House has <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/but-youre-not-imposing-sanctions-dana-bash-corners-blinken-asks-why-biden-is-giving-russia-room-to-move\/\">repeatedly said<\/a> that an attack could be imminent, placing thousands of American troops on alert for a possible deployment to shore up defenses in Eastern Europe \u2014 but top Pentagon officials <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/defense-sec-concedes-possibility-that-u-s-troops-could-face-off-with-russians\/\">continue to push<\/a> for a diplomatic resolution, saying that Putin has room to deescalate tensions if he chooses to do so.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
