You know, I have to tell you, I think NATO is a resilient alliance.

And there were a lot of people, and I was in government in the Bush administration when the wall came down.

And there were a lot of strategic discussions like, what does NATO do now?

Is our purpose for being gone?

And the answer quite quickly became, you know, NATO is a stabilizing force because it's resilient.

It can adjust its mission over time.

And it did.

And it has.

And I believe that an America that comes back to NATO with some modesty and some self-awareness that we really screwed this up and makes a real commitment to

that we can repair these relationships.

But I think Europe will be watching to see what we do in the aftermath of Trump.

I think the world will be watching to see, do we hold these people accountable?

Do we take up again our role in the world, not only as a big military power, but as a big global power, soft and hard power, a diplomatic leader?

Because the things that he's doing right now

like the Board of Peace, whatever.

First off, the Constitution does require Congress to send it to approve treaties.

So this thing is just another clubhouse for Donald Trump.

But I think they're going to be watching to see if we hold these people accountable and if we purge this kind of tendency out of our government and out of our politics.

Because if we don't, we're going to become a global pariah.

Their famous neutrality.
