The first point is, as you say, that the US, if it wants to put more troops in Greenland, can put more troops in Greenland.

In fact, they've been removing troops from Greenland.

Secondly, if Trump was really worried about Putin being a threat, he'd be doing it differently in Ukraine.

If he's actually worried about Russian encroachment, he should be supporting Ukraine.

Greenland is purely about Trump's ego and adding a huge chunk of the map to the United States.

But he's found this convenient thing, which is pretending that he cares about Russia, which he doesn't.

And that America really wants to do some defense in the Arctic, which it patently hasn't done any of in the last 15 years.

Well, thank you for that, Alistair.

So just to sum up, we did a deep dive in Iran, we did a deep dive in Yemen, and then we had the Arctic.

So I hope our listeners are getting a sense of just how complicated the world is becoming and look forward to speaking to you again soon.

See you soon.

Hi, it's Rory Stewart here.

I've just recorded a very exciting series on artificial intelligence.

This is the single most important opportunity challenge in our lifetimes.

I'm afraid it's bigger, more transformative than climate change, the Trump administration, what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

And yet the basic debate is, is it going to be able to write my essay for school for me?

Most of these companies are relatively new and the people at the top of them are unbelievably personally wealthy.

People have made AI videos and it's pretty coherent.

Yeah.

It looks good.
