Grassifo?

Yeah, you know, when I met him for breakfast this morning, it didn't come up.

No, I didn't.

My assumption, given his public statements, public statements are that he cannot bless a war.

No war is blessed.

And a lot of people are misinterpreting that and saying that neither party is blessed or that neither party...

And that's not what he's saying.

And did her father change or modify her birth date to make it appear she was a minor and not an adult at the time that she came in, correct?

How concerned are you, and will you be taking any steps to protect yourself from going into a very dangerous and volatile region right now?

Yeah, this is a very different situation.

When I was there before, we had the Peshmerga on the Iraqi side, and then we had the SDF on the Kurdish side, on the Syria side.

Now the SDF is gone.

And even in...

In Iraqi Kurdistan, as Professor Davis said, Iran is becoming – and Iran-backed militias are becoming much more aggressive.

And drone strikes are hitting right next to where I sleep when I'm there in Erbil.

That is also a concern, is it not?

Are these two countries capable of launching a bio attack on one another?

Well, Germany, I mean, sorry, Russia is definitely capable of launching a bio attack.

There's no question about that.

The outbreak of the plague, though, it's not that unusual, you know, because I was I was four years in Mongolia, you know, so on the other side of that, that border and plague, plague outbreaks every single year.

They're carried by these large rodents called marmots or something, marmots, marmites.

And that the Mongolians eat, and then they get plague every year.

I wasn't very alarmed by that.

What's it like seeing those bridges which you probably crossed when you were in Kyiv? What's it like for you watching the war now rather than being front and center when it's going on in Kyiv?

What are your thoughts on these two things, uh, that he's requesting of the president?

president?Well, those are both, uh, those are both absolutely necessary.

Um, w- without the missiles, or if we run out of the missiles, they won't be able to counter anymore.

So, so we, and when I'm here and I'm in the bomb shelter and I hear, let's say, 20 explosions, uh, 18 of those hopefully have been stopped by the countermeasures.

But each time you fire a countermeasure, you're losing one missile.

You're eating into your stockpile.

The other problem at this point is that, y- you know, Putin is deploying a lot of drones.

And Antonio, uh, maybe you could share an anecdote or two of, of just dealing with some of these incidents that you've experienced and, and some things that may have impacted you.

Can you walk our audience through your, uh, analysis of this, sir?

The Houthis are one of the three primary, uh, proxy armies that is funded by Iran, that is backed by Iran.

Uh, so that would include Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis.

And the Houthis then, their, their main, uh...

Let's say that their main function, main activity is restricting shipping by attacking ships that, that pass, uh, through that area.

They...

When the war first started, when the conflict first started between the United States and Iran, the Houthis, like all the other Iran allies, made bold statements, "You're gonna support Iran.

Uh, sir, your thoughts?
