wild oscillations in our policy that would affect them at a minimum because of our inconstancy and that we might make a pledge now that we wouldn't be able to redeem for six years on. But to take it from an unreliable ally to some of the comments saying the U.S. is now the adversary, that the U.S. is now undermining in an active sense European security, that's something new.

You saw, however, the continued... frankly, fecklessness of the response on the part of the Europeans. They have, in fact, relied upon American security guarantees, on American military leadership, on, until recently, American diplomatic leadership. NATO has been established by the US and led by the US since its inception in the aftermath of World War II.

And it's hard to see what a NATO without the US in the lead, or possibly what a NATO without the US at all would actually mean. And they called an emergency summit President Macron did in France on Monday in the aftermath of Trump's phone call with Putin last week and the comments by J.D. Vance at the Munich Security Conference.

I can't say that that summit came out with a resounding sense of how Europe is going to proceed going forward. And remember, There are multiple interlocking issues here. It's not just, well, gee, is Trump going to pull the plug on U.S. assistance for Ukraine? Is Trump going to make a bad deal or a separate peace with Putin on Ukraine?

But also he may actively and almost certainly will actively undermine NATO cooperation. He might withdraw from it outright. As you know, he's pledged to do that before. Even if he doesn't, what if he pulls out U.S. troops from their forward positions, defending the line essentially between NATO and Russia? You know, that's a very real possibility.

Yeah, well, let's talk about that, you know, $500 billion extortion demand on Ukraine that the United States essentially should be the owner of half of Ukraine's rare earth minerals. First of all, let's put on the table that the United States has given nothing like $500 billion extortion. So the idea that it's payback is ridiculous. That's actually a straight out extortion blackmail demand.

The U.S. has given tens of billions of dollars in military assistance and security aid to Ukraine since the full scale invasion, a lot of which has gone to U.S. military suppliers who are then essentially the customers and sending supplies. weapons to Ukraine.
