I don't know if they make a comeback or maybe they have to wait till 32.
Maybe it's four more years.
But I don't believe this is...
to coin a phrase, the end of history when it comes to the Republicans.
And the Republicans at some point are going to have to decide whether they again become or represent a conservative political movement.
They've gone off the rails.
This is not a conservative Republican party.
You know that.
This is a populist radical party.
Thanks for having me, Anthony.
He might be, but at enormous cost. It's one thing to say the rest of the world needs to do more and let's plan, say, a 10-year transition. which is orderly where we dial up the rest of the world and say dial down the United States so our foes are not encouraged and so our allies are not unnerved. But this is not that. This is much more of a switch than a dial.

And the danger is that you have opportunities where adversaries see the reason to attack. You see some of our friends saying either we have to appease a powerful neighbor or maybe we need nuclear weapons of our own. So there's a chance that some good will come of this. I don't deny that the Europeans might actually do more and they should do more with their conventional military forces.

Extraordinarily difficult. Europeans can only do so much. They don't have the defense industries. They don't have the large inventories to transfer. But Ukraine can hold on. The problem is without the United States supporting Ukraine, it's quite probable that Vladimir Putin will not have the incentive to compromise, to accept a ceasefire, except on terms that are quite draconian.
