Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to both of our witnesses for being here to answer some of our questions today.
I'm going to start with Mr. Hamilton. You spoke about the best way to avoid a China-Russia confrontation against the west. You said that this is the biggest threat we should be worried about, and while it's not super-likely in the near future, there are things we can do in order to limit the possibilities. Can you be a bit more specific?
You said we can watch where we're putting our resources and our army. Can you be a bit more specific and give us some more ideas of how we can ensure that this type of collaboration doesn't happen in the future?
