Former U.S. House speaker Nancy Pelosi made an embarrassing slip of the tongue at a security conference in Munich.

Pelosi expressed concern about the Russians' ability to renew their military forces since the start of the invasion of Ukraine. In 2024, Russia's military budget is expected to jump by 70% in one year to exceed $100 billion (or more than 6% of Russian GDP) “Russia is not giving in. We have to prepare to win. Victory is our only option,” she said.
