The cost that he would have to pay seemed reasonable. And he began to prepare the assault that we\u2019ve seen take place in the main four regions of Ukraine. I think there\u2019s no doubt about that. It wasn\u2019t just Afghanistan. Remember the President said a minor incursion is OK? When the Russians \u2026 shut down the Colonial Pipeline for several days.

It was [John] Kerry. They put climate change at the top of the list.
