Now. 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: There are so many new headlines each week on the 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: war in Ukraine, and honestly it can. 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 3: Be really hard to keep track. 13 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: But zoom out a little and a noticeable shift has 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: played out over the last month. Now Tom is here 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: today to help me unpack what exactly that shift is 16 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: and what it might mean in a moment. But first, Tom, 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: take us through the headlines. 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: At least one hundred and twenty nine people have died 19 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 3: and one hundred and eighty were injured after a stampede 20 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: at an Indonesian soccer match, according to the police chief. 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: In East Java, authorities fired tear gas after supporters from 22 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 3: the losing side invaded the pitch, leading to a deathly stampede. 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 2: The largest search and rescue operation in US history is 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: currently underway in the southeast part of the country, with 25 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: one point seventy five million Americans still without power. President 26 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: Biden said the hurricane is quote likely to rank among 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: the worst in the nation's history, and will this week 28 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: visit Puerto Rico and Florida. 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: Federal Attorney General Mark Dreyfus has revealed further details on 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 3: what the proposed National Anti Corruption Commission will be empowered 31 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: to use in its investigations. Dreyfus told the ABC's Insiders 32 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: that encrypted text messages sent by politicians on platforms like 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: WhatsApp and Signal could be tapped by the commission. 34 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: And today's good news, a new drug funded by donations 35 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: from that viral twenty fourteen ALS ice bucket challenge, has 36 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. CALINAE. Ballas, 37 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: who is the president and CEO of the ALS Association, 38 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: said that the drug would slow down the effects of 39 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 2: the disease and quote immediately help people living with ALS. 40 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: It will become available to patients in the US in 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: the next four to six weeks. 42 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 3: Czar did you ever do the als ice bucket challenge? 43 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: I did not do it, but I'm glad that those 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: that shivered through it all have done. 45 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: It for a very good cause. 46 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: In today's deep Dive, we're going to talk about Russia 47 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: and Ukraine, and of course this has been an ongoing war, 48 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: but it's been a a while since we've actually spoken 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: about it, and b there have been some really really 50 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: significant developments as of late that Tom, I think that 51 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: it would be really useful for you to take everyone through. 52 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: So Tom, where are we at. Well, I'll start a 53 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 3: few months back. You might remember that the stories over 54 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 3: the last couple of months it tended to be pretty 55 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: bad news for Ukraine. We were hearing of these long, 56 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 3: slow battles for cities that Russia would eventually take over. 57 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 3: So there were cities like Mariopol, a port city, and 58 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 3: a number of other cities where Russia would surround them 59 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: and people were trapped in cities for a while. And 60 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: really the tide of the war was that Russia was 61 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 3: suffering losses and Ukraine was fighting on for longer than 62 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: people expected, but that Russia was sort of slowly taking 63 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: over territory. That's the thing that shifted in the month 64 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 3: of September for the first time really since April, Ukrainian 65 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: forces have started to regain territory from Russia. Specifically, it 66 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: was in the northeast of the country, so one of 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: the largest cities in Ukraine is Kharkiv. They kind of 68 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: pushed out from Kharkiv and pushed Russian forces back from 69 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: an area of about six to nine thousand square kilometers 70 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: essentially all the way back to the Russian and the 71 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: Belarusian border. And that's kind of significant because a couple 72 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: of the towns that they've taken back were key transport 73 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: and supply towns for Russia. So even though Russia is 74 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: still in control of large parts of Ukraine, Ukraine's managed 75 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: to push them out of some territory where they've been 76 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 3: using it for supplies and for that sort of purpose, 77 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: and so it might make it a little bit difficult 78 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: for Russia to hold some of the rest of its territory. 79 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: And in that sense, it's viewed as a pretty significant 80 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 3: shift in the war. 81 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: This shift that you're talking about has also been reflected 82 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: in the rhetoric and also the actions of Russian leader 83 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin. Can you talk about that a bit further 84 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: because we've seen some really big actions and words from Pudin. 85 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 3: Yeah Putin, in the words of a lot of onlookers 86 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 3: and experts, looks like he's getting a little bit desperate 87 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 3: in response to this latest news. And part of the 88 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: reason for that, I alluded to it a moment ago, 89 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: is that Russia's suffered very, very heavy losses. They've lost 90 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 3: about eighty thousand soldiers out of the two hundred thousand 91 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 3: that they originally sent to Ukraine. That's a huge number 92 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 3: of losses, and so this latest shift is I guess, 93 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 3: a significant sign that things are going poorly, and he's 94 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: lashed out in a number of different ways. So one 95 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: of the first things that he did was what was 96 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: called a mobilization of the country's reserves. So Russia has 97 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: provisions where people who are civilians but who have some 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: sort of military experience can be called up in desperate 99 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 3: situations to enlist in the army. I believe it hasn't 100 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: happened since World War II, but it happened a couple 101 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: of weeks ago. Wasn't very popular. There are a lot 102 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: of protests across Russia. People who didn't want to be 103 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: mobilized and didn't want to join the war, and I 104 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 3: think one recruitment guard was even shot. But that was 105 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: kind of you step one, I guess, of signaling Putin's 106 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 3: desperation to kind of call in these emergency supplies. Another 107 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: one of the things that Putin has done is run 108 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 3: essentially sham votes in the areas of Ukraine that Russia controls. 109 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: So on the surface of it, there's supposed to be 110 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: votes in Ukrainian territories on whether they would like to 111 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 3: join Russia, and it just so happened that ninety nine 112 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: percent of people voted and said yes, we would like 113 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 3: to join Russia. Of course, that's a suspiciously high number, 114 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,119 Speaker 3: and there have been footage and reports of people voting 115 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: at gunpoint and that sort of thing, and the votes 116 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 3: have been widely cast as a sham, but they were 117 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: a pretense for Putin to do what's called annexing those territories, 118 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: so to declare them officially part of Russia. And the 119 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 3: significance of declaring them officially part of Russia is that 120 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 3: then once you've decided that this is Russian territory, you 121 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 3: defend it in a different way. And this gets to 122 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: the third big thing that Putin has done more of 123 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 3: and that is threatened to use nuclear weapons. So Putin's 124 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 3: been talking about Russia's nuclear weapons for a long time. 125 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: Russia has a lot of them, more than anyone in 126 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 3: the world, and about fifteen hundred nuclear weapons that are 127 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: at the ready, and Putin has been talking more and 128 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 3: more in the last couple of weeks about how he's 129 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: willing to do everything in his power and to use 130 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: everything that Russia has to defend Russian territory, which with 131 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: this annexing now includes these parts of Ukraine. So it's 132 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: been taken as an escalation in a threat of using 133 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: nuclear force, which of course would be really very disastrous 134 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: for the world. Again, it can be difficult to know 135 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: how seriously to take those threats. Obviously, to use nuclear 136 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: weapons would be a really, you know, major and dire 137 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: step that we've not seen for you know, forever, really 138 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 3: on this scale, and there's the threat of kind of 139 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 3: human annihilation if we were to descend into a nuclear war, 140 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: and so that sort of talks very alarming. Putin says 141 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: he's not bluffing, you know, it's sort of unclear, but 142 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: it does seem that the response from the West from 143 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: leaders in Europe and in America has been that they 144 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: are taking this quite seriously, and that they're sort of 145 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: mobilizing and preparing surveillance and just keeping an eye to 146 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: make sure that that we don't head in that direction. 147 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 3: So so all of these a sign really of desperation. 148 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: You mentioned before that there have been protests in Russia. 149 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: I guess I want to know, is Putin's job at 150 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: risk here? I mean, if he's that unpopular, what happens 151 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: from here? 152 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 3: This is what's really difficult to know, And it depends 153 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: on which Russia watching expert you ask. But what certainly 154 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: the case is that the voices of descent are getting 155 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: louder and louder. It's quite difficult to express dissent in Russia. 156 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: Of course, enemies of Putin have routinely ended up poisoned 157 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: or imprisoned or you know, befallen various other fates. I 158 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: think a lot of Russian oligarchs over the last few 159 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 3: months have died in rather suspicious circumstances. So it's a 160 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: genuinely a very dangerous thing to be openly critical of 161 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: the government. What's been interesting has been not only a 162 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: rise in protests across Russia, but also arise in criticism 163 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: of Putin on Russian state television, so on these sort 164 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: of talk shows that happen on Russian TV, you know, 165 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 3: generally people follow a pretty strict script and there's not 166 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 3: much genuine criticism of the Russian government and its strategy. 167 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 3: But over the last couple of months that's really changed. 168 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 3: A lot of the voices that are normally you know, 169 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 3: on the conservative side of things and on Putin's side 170 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 3: of things have been critical of the strategy and critical 171 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: that Russia is not doing what it should be to 172 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: win the war as quickly as it might have. And 173 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 3: that's that criticism has even come from some of Putin's 174 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 3: kind of government allies. So the leader of Chechnya, which 175 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 3: is a region that Russia controls, and the leader of Chechnya, 176 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: Ramzan Katov, has been an ally of Putin's. He's been 177 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: quite publicly critical of Putin's strategy as well. So all 178 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: of these things are prompting some suggestion that there might 179 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: be some sort of coup and that there might be 180 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: people around Putin who are plotting to remove him. There's 181 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: no clear front runner to replace him, and of course 182 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 3: that would be a pretty extraordinary thing to do, and 183 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 3: there's a lot of skepticism from some people that that 184 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: will actually happen. Putin's been written off before, and people 185 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: have predicted his demise before, and it hasn't really happened. 186 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 3: I think one of the key factors throughout the war 187 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: has been that information has been limited in Russia and 188 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 3: people haven't necessarily known much that they might have bought 189 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 3: Putin's lines about how this is just a quick military operation, 190 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 3: and I guess bought some of that Russian propaganda about 191 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 3: the reasons for the war. I think that's starting to change. 192 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: So the New York Times had a major investigation in 193 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 3: the last week or so where they had a number 194 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 3: of audio clips of Russian sold speaking on the phone 195 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: to their families and pushing back against some of the 196 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 3: Russian government's description of this war. There's a sense of 197 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: growing disaffection, and obviously that continues to put more pressure 198 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: on Putin. 199 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: I think that leads well into my last question, which 200 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 2: is all of this makes it sound like the tides 201 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: are turning. Is it possible that Russia loses this war? 202 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 3: It's a really difficult question to answer, and I think 203 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 3: it depends in part on how long it all takes. 204 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: So Ukraine has been careful to be a little bit 205 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 3: cautious about the way its celebrated this regaining of territory 206 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 3: and to point out the fact that they don't want 207 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: to stretch their resources too thin. And the reason that 208 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: they haven't tried to put Russia out of more territory 209 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 3: at the moment is because they don't want to risk 210 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: over committing themselves and then losing back some of that 211 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: territory again. So it's not just sort of a simple 212 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: case of now the momentum shifted and Ukraine can chase 213 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 3: Russia all the way out. Putin has shown that he's 214 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 3: quite willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of Russian soldiers 215 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: to hold on for dear life in this war and 216 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 3: as long as continues gone for a very long time, 217 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 3: and that's going to put a lot more pressure on Ukraine. 218 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 3: It's why Ukraine keeps asking for military support, but also 219 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 3: as time goes on, it will continue to need economic support. 220 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: Wars are really very expensive. They can't really raise taxes 221 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: from their people as they normally would, and so to 222 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 3: continue to finance just all of the normal things that 223 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 3: a government does things like, you know, welfare for citizens 224 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 3: and to be able to keep the country afloat for 225 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 3: this long, to get everyone fed. All of these things 226 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 3: are really difficult to do in war, and so Ukraine 227 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 3: has support in some ways from its allies. Probably hasn't 228 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 3: had as much economic support as it has had military support. 229 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: But the longer the war goes on, the harder it 230 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: will be for Ukraine as well. So it's certainly it 231 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 3: would be well and truly over the top to look 232 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: at the momentum shift in the last month as a 233 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 3: sign that we now know who will win the war. 234 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 3: But certainly it has been a notable shift. 235 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: Nonetheless, I felt like reading all of these sort of reports, 236 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: it's always good to bring them all together and kind 237 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 2: of take a bird's eye view as to what's happening 238 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: very very long war and tom when you put it 239 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 2: that way, it is certainly fascinating.
