And then we've got this massive technological question in front of us in terms of AI. We have two wars that are about to be wound down, need to be wound down. Big questions around NATO. Existential questions around our commitment to NATO.

It is the twilight. It's not even the twilight of the idols. We are zero dark 30 of the idols, and I think we're coming to daybreak. A new dawn is coming, but it's still very dark.
