So no one hasn't accepted.
Everyone wants to be part of this board, except for any of our actual allies.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, he gave a big speech at Davos that everyone's been talking about.
And in that speech, he said, quote, we are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.
And that now is the time for the middle powers to band together.
So big speech from Carney got all of our allies basically just saying, you know, the entire post-World War II international order that America helped build and sustained for the last several decades.
Seems like Trump broke it and it's going to be hard to fix and we're going to have to look elsewhere.
You feeling proud to be an American?
And we should be clear that, um, it's not just like we are pining for international rules and institutions, uh, for the sake of it.
Like they, but they, the, when they weren't broken or when they worked better, uh,
than they did even before Trump broke them and destroyed them.
They kept the world safer and they kept Americans safer and they kept Americans more prosperous.
And it's going to be more difficult to live in a world where countries are turning to
places like China for economic development, for security.
I think Carney, I'm paraphrasing a line from his speech, but he said something like, in a world where there's just more fortresses because different countries are making different alliances and trying to build up their own security, then that's a world that is more brittle, more dangerous, more prone to violence.
And that's where he's leading us.
