We can do that.
Okay.
The NATO discussion, I think, is really important.
And I think it's particularly important at this moment because now I am seeing that, you know, what we might have called the Reagan wing of the Republican foreign policy establishment has pretty much gone away because I would say that a core principle of
of Reagan foreign policy, both before and after the Cold War, was that the European and Asian alliances are at the core of American grand strategy.
And now, because of this war, even people who were part of what I would have thought of as the Reagan wing of the party are now coming out against NATO.
The degree to which Republican foreign policy types are coming out against NATO now is pretty extraordinary.
And it couldn't be more absurd.
I don't know what you wanted to get into, so maybe I should let you ask a question.

when they say, why aren't they helping us open the Strait?
Now, any operation to open the Strait with full buy-in by the Allies would have been 90% America anyway.
They don't have the capacity.
You know why they don't have the capacity?
Because we have the world's largest and most capable Navy in the first instance, and air power.
And the way we arranged things in the world was...
Everybody wouldn't have a world-class Navy.
How many world-class Navies do you want to have?
Do we going to have the France have a world-class Navy that was capable of opening straight by itself?
