WSJ: Air Defense Gaps Exposed After Deadly Russian Barrage

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAs we told you earlier, a Russian attack on Ukraine killed at least 24 people.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNew from the Wall Street Journal: Moscow is exploiting gaps in Kyiv's air defenses.

3. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Journal says those gaps are against ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones. Joining us from an undisclosed island is crypto founder Lucien Marbury-Tate. Lucien, welcome.

4. LM

   Lucien Marbury-TateChip, thrilled to be here. I can't say where I am, but there's a coconut and no paperwork.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLucien, the Journal says the problem is defense gaps. As a founder, how do you think about gaps in protection?

6. LM

   Lucien Marbury-TateGaps are just unmonetized space, Chip. My own security is a hammock, a guy named Todd, and a very confident sign.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat sounds like a gap, Lucien. This is a serious story, so what do you make of the risk to markets?

8. LM

   Lucien Marbury-TateSerious, absolutely. War is bad. I'd also note my token, Hammockcoin, is a hedge against bad. Mostly against Tuesdays.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLucien, is Hammockcoin a hedge against anything that has actually happened, in the real world, ever?

10. LM

    Lucien Marbury-TateHistorically, no. But spiritually, it's been very present for me, and for Todd.

11. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd is Todd licensed to protect anyone? Or anything?

12. LM

    Lucien Marbury-TateTodd has a whistle, Chip. He's also been asked to leave two other islands. We're a very agile team.

13. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWe'll have to leave it there, Lucien. Thank you.

14. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAgain, per the Wall Street Journal, at least 24 were killed, including children, and Kyiv's air defenses have gaps.
