Rex Tillerson fucking moron outburst at the Pentagon in the summer of 2017. So in my role as a Trump historian here, I need to point that out because it's a kind of a shocking view of American power as that we're essentially the mob heavies here and give us money with a gun pointed at your back, or we won't do anything for you. It's a radically different view of American security.

So there's that we can talk about. But also to your point, I just think the undermining of NATO has already occurred, even short of formally pulling out. You know, our whole premise of NATO is essentially collective mutual defense, right? All for one, one for all. We're attacked on 9-11.
