“Well, I think they're going to make a deal, and I don't want to say what the deal is. We talk about it a lot, including with President Putin, and I think something's going to happen, but certainly they are very good fighters. Really, they could be proud of themselves regardless. We'll see what happens. But very very capable people.”
