00:00All right, Noah in reference to the policy on cross-border strikes, I just want to make sure I understand for clarity
00:06Was the policy never?
00:08Geographically bound and was always focused on the intent of counter fire like you're describing there
00:14Um, I just want to make sure that I understand this correctly
00:17Yeah
00:17I mean
00:17I think you know the the context was again this Russian offensive that was emanating from the Kharkiv
00:25region and so being able to check that offensive and enable the
00:29Ukrainians to fire back
00:31And to not allow Russia to use that zone across the border there as a safe haven from which to conduct those attacks
00:39so it
00:41Changed in reference to the offensive near Kharkiv, but it was never intended just to be around Kharkiv if I understand you
00:47Yeah, exactly. I mean, I think the policy here is again and and I think you know, the National Security Advisor
00:54Put it, you know in
00:57Great words here in the sense that it's not about geography
01:00It's about common sense right being able to fire back if you're fired upon you go to Tom
