I'm sorry. This is Chuck POI from Louisville Kentucky. I'm just calling because I have a question in regard to Ukraine. I know you talk about it a lot lately. and essentially I was just wondering like all these weapons that we are sending over to Ukraine is this a risk that a lot of these are going over to the Azov Battalion in certain radicalized groups over there. I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on if we were creating a new mujahideen Taliban kind of situation in Ukraine in the future. I mean I would imagine that the weapons are going to all of the militaries there. but no do I think that we're creating some type of like I mean none of these groups have a history in my estimation of like you know International Terror. no, I think that is like honestly I mean look you're flooding a country with weapons I think that's going to be an issue after the fact. but do I think that they're going to start to be like they're going to be their own separatist? no. organization no. we should be transferred on at the beginning of this conflict who addressed the sort of like that Azov Battalion. and look we had a general in the United States military that got up in front of at a military function and basically said our God is better than their God. and we're gonna mean like you'd be hard-pressed to find a military where there aren't fascistic elements within a military. Regardless of what country it is. I mean you really like you know like we've got those problems. you know the Christian Theocratic fundamentalist problem that we have in the U.S military I think is massive. It is widespread. and so I you know I think that like I honestly think that the sort of like the focus on that Battalion to whatever extent that they are you know you know appraising of Nazis I think is really overblown. It's a great point. and like I also just feel like there is the Battalion element it's it makes it sound more concrete than it actually is. like there are, it's like with cops as well. you're always going to find people drawn to authoritarian or fascist type stuff when they're just frankly in that environment.
