Do you sense, Professor Sachs, that support in Europe for sending military aid to Ukraine is beginning to wane? It is waning fast. We just had an election in Slovakia this past week where the new government, the candidate that led the party that won the most votes, was campaigning on ending all military support for Ukraine. And that party won a decisive election victory in Poland, which has been the Stalwart supporter. 

They're barely on speaking terms with Ukraine right now because of massive feuds on many fronts. Hungary has long been opposed to the US neocons and Prime Minister Orban has been very clear, very clear headed, I would say uniquely so in Europe for a long time. But what's happening in the places that are still strongly supporting Ukraine is that essentially every political leader in Western Europe right now is unpopular. 

This is amazing. Just like in the United States, president Biden's disapproval ratings are much, much higher than his approval ratings. This is true throughout Europe right now. And this is the sign that people are very unhappy with the way things are going and the direction that's being taken. .
