I'd probably be like

Uh what happened?

Um and I I would not take offense if the Chinese in that instant would go like, Yeah, we don't like that.

countries of Europe don't have uh right to a notice what's happening and b oppose what's happening, I find it to be

Wrong.

Right, like there's just I think there's a moral argument for self determination.

And we invoke that argument all the time in other regions around the world that like well, the people who live in that region they have a right to self determination um uh for their country.

And I think it's completely fair for, say, the Danes or the Swedes or the Norwegians to go, like, Well, we've been um kingdoms here for a thousand years with a certain ethnic mix up

It's a I mean

I'm a big fan of immigration.

I'm a I'm an immigrant to the US.

Um, cherry picked immigration where countries compete to attract the smartest most talented people around the world is is really good.

Marit based is key here because there's actually virtually no illegal immigration in most of Europe.

Southern Europe has some illegal immigration, but most of Europe does not have a big problem with illegal immigration.

And the problem is with mass immigration of other kinds.

And that you end up with

demographics that are just totally different from what they were even a few short decades ago.

And I think the countries of Europe would benefit from immigration.
