I'm with you.
No, the idea is what is NATO today?
Is NATO today what it's supposed to be?
I mean, understand the Cold War framework of the pre-1980s or before the 1990s that NATO was essential.
It was crucial.
I think NATO just antagonized Russia.
So I think NATO caused problems with Russia more than anything.
Was Russia ever going to really proactively do something against Europe if NATO wasn't approaching on that?
I'm sorry, that is Putin propaganda.
We actually wanted to invite Russia to join NATO.
We wanted Russia to join the civilized world.
But that was back when George Bush looked into his eyes and saw Putin's soul or whatever that was.
Which part of the story you want to finish?
Well, Putin turned out to be not the world's greatest Democrat and free marketer and all the rest of it.
Look, if Putin goes on the offensive and invades Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, you're going to be damned thankful you got a NATO to fight back because you need that combined force, good structure.
And NATO could have won in Ukraine in about a week if they felt like it.
So then there's no danger of invading Poland.
Well, there wasn't a danger of invading Ukraine either until it actually happened.
Well, you got to join the club, a little bit of democracy before you join NATO.
Actually, NATO is a little unsure about Turkey.
