And they would do that out of some kind of gratitude to Americans or some kind of Fielty to Donald Trump, perhaps, and they would not receive any clear security guarantees or anything else in exchange.

Das ist eine open-ended demand from a sovereign country that it hand over its wealth to another country. I mean, this is a kind of 18th century colonial way of dealing with the country. And this is, of course, a country that's been an ally to the United States, that's worked closely with US intelligence, that's been a part of an American security structure.

It's as if you went to your neighbor with whom you'd had cordial relations with a long time, who'd helped you. fix your car and with whom you had good relations and said, actually in exchange for all that, in exchange for the salt I lent you and the cookies I baked you, I'm demanding half of your wealth right now.

I don't know whether Trump understands that as the message. And also because I still don't understand what the endgame is, how exactly he thinks the war will end. I don't want to say something terrible has happened before it's happened, right?
