In what way?
I would be far more worried about the Chinese than about the Russians.
I'm far more worried about the Mexicans.
And the Mexicans.
I'll tell you another thing too.
I actually left the Democratic Party years ago because I thought that it moved too far to the right.
uh the truth is that the ideological spectrum is not a straight line from left to right it's a circle and there are a lot of issues on which the right and the left can can meet and agree yes that's where i am i'm at the point where the circle meets so some of my friends some of my former friends won't speak to me because they say i'm far too conservative that i've gone over to the maga and they just don't want to be friends anymore and that's fine i don't care because then they weren't real friends anyway but but the issue is
I agreed with Donald Trump's policy about building the wall.
I lost a lot of friends because of that.

I read the Greek press every single day.
I'm a recently, relatively recently, a dual US Greek citizen now.
And Turkey takes something like a billion and a half euros every year to hold economic refugees in camps in Turkey until they can be processed and resettled in places like Germany and Sweden and France, et cetera.
But what the Turks really do is they put them on little boats and they send them to Greece in the middle of the night.
The purpose being to crash the Greek economy.
To destroy Greece.
Right.
So what the Greeks did is they built a wall.
And all of a sudden, nobody can cross the border where the wall is.
So the Greeks now focus on the islands and have the Coast Guard intercept these boats that are coming in almost every night.
