Not just, by the way, from Russia right now, but watching Donald Trump talk about taking over Greenland and being, you know, hell-bent on taking over Greenland really puts Europe at large in a very interesting position.
Because let's say hypothetically the U.S.
does take control of Greenland and they do so for the articulated reason that it's good for American national security.
in potentially confronting Russia or potentially confronting China.
Where does that put Europe?
Where does that put Europe?
It puts Europe in the middle of this unbelievable fight, cross-fight that's going to potentially happen between the United States and Russia.
And the Europeans are just sitting there, ducks with no say whatsoever.
And you can kind of attribute that to Europe over the last several years, just conceding more ground to the Americans, letting the Americans run all over them in a series of issues, whether it's foreign policy in the Middle East, whether it's things in
Central Asia, whether it is what we see now in Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe, that's the end result of always acquiescing to the United States.
And specifically with somebody like Donald Trump, who doesn't give a damn about European alliances or transatlantic relations, only cares about enriching his pockets and his family's pockets and putting America on this path of
I would argue, just complete and sheer corruption on a scale that we've never seen before, but putting America on a path of totalitarianism and authoritarianism that I think is extremely dangerous.
Actually, I'm glad that you picked examples from AOC for two reasons.
And I actually think two of AOC's most strongest soundbites or comments were not the ones that you played.
And those were good for the reasons that you outlined, but there's two other important ones.
One, she talks about the rules-based order not working for everyone.
A couple of weeks ago, you know, Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, spoke at Davos and he talked the rules-based order is done and that it's, you know, right versus might.
And right now, what we thought is the international rules-based order of the last several decades since World War II has collapsed or was on the verge of collapsing.
And a lot of people took issue with that because it was only when Canada or European countries became in the crosshairs of America and Russia or powerful countries around the world when it came to the issue of trade
