They need revenue.
And if we can limit that, that might be economic pressure.
So I think that's where the administration...
I'm curious, given everything you've said, do you personally think that this war was a misfire, a mistake by the U.S.
I think going back to assess the war, it was a major strategic mistake.
Iran is in some ways stronger today than it was before.
So the war was ill-advised, but there'll be time for lots of questions to be asked about why the war took place on February 28th.
I think there were two major outcomes, Scott, of the NATO summit in Istanbul.
One on NATO itself, on its future, and the second on Ukraine.
On NATO itself, you know, here's the irony again.
President Trump can justifiably take some credit for having pushed the NATO allies to spend more on defense, which they needed to do and they hadn't done for decades.
And he just won't take the win.
Because despite this very good performance by the Europeans, President Trump repeated his claim that the United States should take ownership of Greenland.
So I think he ought to be more positive about the progress that the Europeans made and the impact that he has had on defense spending.
But, Scott, there's more positive news on Ukraine.
The president had...
a productive meeting with President Zelensky.
President Trump said he supported Ukrainian drone strikes deep into Russian territory, and he might even support production of Patriot missile interceptors by Ukraine itself on Ukrainian territory.
And I think, let's hope that President Trump will be consistent here and now turn full American support back to Ukraine and not be taken in by these blank promises from President Putin.
