    From everything I've read he's doing a good job. He's pushed for more support of Ukraine, and gotten it. He's pushed hard for Finland and Sweden, and gotten one with the other being a matter of time. He's pushed for greater integration of the NATO combined forces and gotten support for that.

    He's fairly charismatic, speaks plainly, and with the authority he has does a good job.

    We'll see if we get any social security or other retirement help.

    We'll see how the mercs do moving forward. It was definitely a step forward, but I wonder how much is Ferrari messing up Leclerc's car and Alonso having a bad Saturday vs the mercs really doing...

    We'll see how the mercs do moving forward. It was definitely a step forward, but I wonder how much is Ferrari messing up Leclerc's car and Alonso having a bad Saturday vs the mercs really doing well.

    If the commentators were right and Alonso was losing 8 tenths a lap, and 4 tenths during the race when they had "fixed" the floor he'd have been pushing mercs out.
