And geopolitically. Right now, you have the post-war liberal rules-based order. And if you go around the Eurasian landmass, it is a replica of the Second World War.

And what you see in the post-war era is to have a containment policy from NATO and Western Europe to the Gulf Emirates in Israel, to the South China Sea and the Straits of Taiwan, up to Japan and Korea. Those four kind of nodes, you have commercial relationships codified by trade deals. We have capital markets, some cultural interaction. But it's American security guarantee.

It's one of the reasons we have a trillion-dollar defense budget.

What we're saying, what President Trump, I think, is saying by this hemispheric defense is that from Greenland to the Panama Canal, we will take care of the Russian Navy. The Russian army is kind of NATO's problem, U.S. problem, and we're there to help. But you're not going to see a massive amount of resources. And I think you see this in Ukraine and bringing the war to an end.

Zelensky knows that the American money is cut off. You're not going to have American troops. The Europeans talk big but never deliver. And so you're going to see some sort of winding down of that war on the new reality on the Eurasian landmass. Once you get off of having to have standing military forces,

And all these four nodes around the Eurasian landmass, you have a complete ability to cut the defense budget, I don't know, three, four hundred billion dollars?

What is supposed to come after? I think it's back to the Treaty of Westphalia. You have strong, independent nations, right, with the United States looking to itself first and its citizens first with the understanding is if America's strong, healthy, and prosperous, the world can be at peace.
