What I am saying is Representative Wittman's bill puts these critical sideboards on this decision-making process.
We know that large-scale maneuver forces are applicable in Europe. They are not going to be applicable in the INDOPACOM.
I think this is something that we must seriously pursue. It is critically important that we have redundancy in space.
I think we're all very, very steadfastly in support of Ukraine and their effort to maintain independence from this unprovoked and inhumane and barbaric invasion by Russia.
