Yeah, Mark's pissed.
And he has every right to be pissed.
But he's also speaking for a world that says, this is a rupture.
This is broken, not to be reassembled.
And I think Democrats rhetorically talk about
restoring the rule, don't understand that for us to do that means the other side has to accept it and they don't accept us anymore.
Now, do we have power?
One, what's the toolbox?
In the toolbox, there's many things, but there are four big things.
Military power, economic statecraft, political persuasion, and cultural attraction.
That is your toolbox in the national security.

is different.
So like with Europe, just by memory, I called for what I call modernization reform.
Meaning, one, whatever troops are west of the Rhine River in Germany, if they're not nailed down and not necessary, move them east.
Move them to Poland, move them to Romania, and tell the countries there, you're going to move that too.
And I would clean up
NATO headquarters.
I'd go through there and say, we're making a 10% cut in everybody in this building.
10% are going to move as an active deterrence.
