No, I think you're right. And look, what you're seeing with Trump is the arrival of something we haven't seen since really the 1980s with Reagan, which is a grand strategy. Looking at the road, looking at the map around the world and tracing what the challenges, what the threats are and what the opportunities are for the United States.

And we are essentially in a bipolar world now where it's China and the United States. So each one of those issues you talked about, you're quite right. China's at the heart of it. I think you're particularly right on the issue of Ukraine, because what's happened is, look, I side with the Ukrainian people. What Russia did was terrible. Putin is responsible for this.

But the fact that we have aggressively gone after Russia and essentially adopted the position that we're not going to have any negotiations has pushed Russia into the corner with China. which is actually not a natural fit. They're longtime rivals. They share a long border. But it's put Putin in this role of having to rely increasingly on China.

If we are able to actually come up with a just peace agreement with Ukraine that moves Russia's isolation and dependence on China, that is a huge, huge win for the United States and a huge loss for China. So I think what's happening is very exciting. We'll see how successful these initiatives are, but I think the early indications are very, very good.

Well, I think Zelensky went into the Oval Office and was supposed to sign an agreement. All sides expected that was going to happen. And Zelensky started to make a moral argument in the middle of the consummation of a deal. And I understand the moral argument he's making. But the fact of the matter is that Ukraine can't win this war.

You know, Russia, the estimate is our Russia's suffered up to 900,000 casualties, which for the United States, that would be like close to 2 million people, an extraordinary number. But Ukraine's numbers are just as bad, if not worse, in proportion to the population size. They're a third or a quarter the size of Russia. So as the war grinds out, they are not going to be able to win this war.

So you've got to think about what's the best deal that we can get. And Zelensky is of the mindset that he doesn't want a deal. So he's trying to make a moral argument. And that's not the place to do it. So I think it was a big mistake on his part. And, you know, Europe is not really willing to back him.

The Guardian had a really interesting survey that they put out yesterday where they asked all these European countries, people, you know, do you think that Ukraine needs more financial and military support vis-a-vis Russia? And majorities in every single country say absolutely yes. Then the second question is, would you like your country to give more to the Ukrainian cause?

And clear majorities all said no. So, you know, Europe doesn't want to do anything other than moralize. So the fact of the matter is you've got to cut a deal. It's got to be a just and fair deal. Putin has already paid an enormous price for this invasion, as he should have. But you've got to try to cobble something together.

And I think Zelensky thought he would go there and moralize and it would actually be to his benefit. And of course, Trump and J.D. Vance said, no, we're not going to do that.
