Q We're in a proxy war with Russia. What is the vital national interest in the United States that compels us to be in a war, admittedly through a proxy, with Russia that has 6000 nuclear weapons? Even if I were to grant that we should be trying to, out of humanitarian motives, expel the Russians, From Ukraine, do you believe that we should be trying to destabilize and topple Putin?
A Let me come to that with a question. It's funny, I feel like I'm debating two people, but like I, like I joked in my tweet, the odds are even worse for the Ukrainians, so I'll take it. But, um, I, I mean, I asked you this question in Miami not too long ago, David. Um, you're the one who said, oh, we're threatening World War III, we're engaging in nuclear brinksmanship. By the way, things that we did all throughout the Cold War, right? I was raised as an eighties kid here in Miami. We used to do this thing all the time. At what point would you stop? At what point do you think it's actually worth rolling the dice? At what point between Lviv and Warsaw and your front door would you stop and say, actually, World War III and nuclear war is worth risking? Because that's an answer I don't get out of the appeasers. At what point do you actually put your foot down?
