And not only that, it goes further than that, Ben, and this is why, is that anyone who is crazy enough to argue that the national security of the United States would be strengthened by taking a stake to the heart of NATO,
arguably the best alliance the modern world has ever seen.
You take a stake to the heart of NATO, I guarantee you this, two things happen automatically.
Russia and China are empowered.
And two, the entire Western alliance is less safe because of that.
So it is anyone who has any national security experience would tell you that that argument is bogus, flawed, incredibly naive, and more than that, legitimately clueless and doesn't understand a chapter of a history book for the last 80 years.
Trust is one of those things that is, it takes years and years to earn, and it can be broken like that, can be broken with the snap of a finger.
And in this case, broken by one administration very, very quickly.
The hard part for me is that, you know, I was the guy, when I was ambassador, I would go to the, this is not partisan.
This has not been true of just Democrats or anywhere.

They bled alongside American soldiers.
They died alongside American soldiers.
Denmark lost more young men and women per capita in Afghanistan than any country other than the United States of America.
This, again, this rhetoric, that ridiculous rhetoric by the president of the United States,
it isn't just about the government, it isn't just about Green, it actually hits them.
And this is where I think it's gonna be so, it's gonna impact every single American, is that it makes them lose faith in us.
