in Germany by a cathedral and somebody had insulted his wife and he had scuffled, I think it was with a Palestinian protester in Germany. And so I walked over to talk to the police person. But my polite suggestion was that if you were in someone else's country, that you withstand the provocations and not reply in kind because you're a guest there. And that's always worked well for me.

And I've been, you know, in a lot of countries and I've lived almost three years abroad. And the cardinal rule is always the prime directive to use Star Trek terms. The prime directive is never, never attack the law enforcement or the laws of your host. Because if you don't like them, you can leave. And I lived under a Greek dictatorship.

The Papadopoulos regime and then the Ioannidis, and they were pretty awful. 73, 74, then the socialist PASOK that were pretty awful. So you don't ever criticize and say that you know better what your host should be doing. You just never do that. And by the way, mentioning Greece... A friend wrote me and pointed this out, and I looked at it. USAID had for years...

in Cyprus, in Greece, been trying to force down American cultural values through left-wing Greek and American fronts like LGBTQ and forcing the Greeks to accept, even though the Poles were very much against it, gay marriage, for example. And so some of you who are very angry and say that Trump should have no business with USAID.

I know you don't believe in cultural imperialism, but that's what USAID was doing. It was taking a left-wing, unpopular agenda here at home, and it was tying it to money with a carrot and a stick, and it was shoving it down the throats of traditional Christian and Islamic societies. It really was. It was the worst aspect of American imperialism.

Well, first of all, I don't know how you'd get them over there. They don't even have any lift capacity. I don't know if they have any C-17s, but I'm being kind of facetious, but their military is hollowed out. And then you have the British public would not stand for losses. They would say, like we would,

So, Mr. Prime Minister, we're being invaded by people from the Middle East and all over Europe are coming into our country, and you will not defend our borders, but you want us to go over and die for somewhere near the Donbass? Are you insane? We're not going to do that. So that's not going to happen. Putin knows it's not going to happen. Zelensky knows it's going to.

What they want to do is send 1,000 troops over there, British, so then we get embarrassed and humiliated and say, okay, and we'll send 101st Airborne or something. That's not going to happen. It is not going to happen. And remember, there used to be certain – unspoken codes or themes of these alliances or these unions.
