The Lesson Is to React and to React Quickly

Scrippa's death didn't come as a particular surprise given what happened with ivinenko, i would say. And i think what was frustrating and upsetting about it was that we didn't react to the litvinenko affair,. We failed to establish deterrence against potin. Putin and his cronies will push and push and push until they come up against the brick wall. If china comes afterwards and starts behaving in a similar way, it's going to be ten times more difficult, in my view, to control and manage.
