It looks like we could be looking at the dawn of a pretty turbulent chapter in relations
00:05
between the United States and a number of allies, especially in Europe, especially when
00:10
it comes to trade.
00:11
And I'm just wondering whether, you know, given some of the global threats out there
00:16
and threats that are common to the United States and its allies, Russia, China, North
00:20
Korea, Iran, doesn't the West need to look more united at this particular point?
00:25
Well, that unity is so important.
00:27
And that unity is what will help make Putin go to a negotiating table.
00:32
Right now, he feels that there is disunity with NATO.
00:36
He feels that the U.S. is getting wobbly and might go in a whole different direction.
00:41
So that emboldens him not to negotiate anything.
00:45
He feels he's doing well.
00:47
And what will make him sit down at the table and negotiate in earnest will be a feeling
00:53
that maybe the West is more unified than he thought.
00:56
Maybe the U.S. is actually going to be potentially helping Ukraine and not walking away.
01:02
And that we're all in this for the long term.
