00:18 >> The threat I think you're referring
00:19 to is a Russian invasion of Poland, Latvia,
00:24 expansionist behavior.
00:25 Can you imagine a scenario where you sent Russian troops
00:29 to Poland?
00:30 >> Only in one case, if Poland attacks Russia.
00:38 Why? Because we have no interest in Poland,
00:42 Latvia or anywhere else.
00:43 Why would we do that?
00:45 We simply don't have any interest.

01:38 Before you do that, stop.
01:40 What's easier?
01:42 Why would I call him?
01:44 What should I talk to him about or beg him for what?
01:47 >> And what messages do you get back?
01:51 >> You're going to deliver such and such weapons to Ukraine?
01:55 Oh, I'm afraid.
01:57 I'm afraid.
01:57 Please don't.
01:58 What is there to talk about?
02:00 >> I just have to ask, you've said clearly
02:05 that NATO expansion eastward is a violation
02:08 of the promise you all made in 1990.
