And we've spoken several times before about NATO's continued escalation in this Ukrainian proxy war, and we appear to have reached new dangerous levels. So after the US began sending these long-range missiles and green lighting the targeting of Russian territory, the Russians seem to have looked for ways to begin to retaliate. So they're sending their warships to Cuba to send the signal with their nuclear weapons drill. And now, they are announcing that they're going to ship weapons to any state in conflict with the West, much like the West is doing in Ukraine. Then we see this attack on beach goers in Crimea with this American attack Ms and cluster munitions warheads. What I hear now from Moscow is there's massive pressure building up to effectively say, "No more." And seeking to restore deterrence by looking at ways to retaliate.
How do you read the situation in terms of what happened in Crimea? How serious is this, and instead of calming things down the United States seems to be on the verge of greenlighting contractors to go into Ukraine as well. Where do you see all of this heading?
1:35, MACGREGOR. A few fronts first is a decision by the attackers was always a bad one because they have a range of probably a hundred eighty miles or more depending on the Target and what occurred Crimea was total of five missiles were fired could have been four maybe but I think it was five all but one missile was shot down which tells you something about the quality Russian Aaron missile defense it's pretty substantial but the last missile instead of being shot down seems to have been damaged and effectively knocked off course so that is Warhead exploded over the Black Sea and near the beach that you were talking about now the cluster Munitions that were inside were not ignited or detonated for some reason they fell harmlessly to the ground so something interrupted the missile something disrupted the mechanics of the Warhead and even though people were killed and injured we could be very grateful that those cluster Munitions those little bomblets did not detonate because they are very lethal and they would have done infinitely more damage than we witnessed so I guess the point is it was not intentional to do the damage that was done two people on the beach in Crimea however the damage was done one way or the other and it doesn't make a great deal of difference to you if you're Russian if you were killed by a bomblet that explodes or doesn't. The bomblet is a bomblet that came from the United States.
