much exciting so it's kind of a french translation translatiting it into french but in any case that if we do you also spoke with european union he said if we don't wake up that's considered a risk that in the long run we will disappear geo politically. so as the caller said on its twitter page this was an astonishingly candidates. interview to be in a bit as well to jump start- sort of serious discussions about the future of- all of. nature there is a- so much rick this is at least a meeting of hot of leaders in london in early december. and he i mean he said really want a lot of people are t thinking anyway because since at. turkey's incursion into syria and at the us withdrawal. it's pretty clear that that nato is sort of in smithereens really. and quite a quite quite plainly as- britain. the u. k. i. britain france and germany were not consulted in but does not until medical so that really kind of makes a mockery. of the structures of nato. as a sort of a unified. security block. i

saw lots of a lots of reactions to not across across thehe boar. interesting to note that at. you know over the years at. forr years. you must. i love them michael i they seem to be very much on the- same page so to speak. he's sort of depipicted n vevery posititive. at europe's w order you can see markel there on the left on cover. in in in the shadow. and so it is certain this is the latest from cover. it it seems like at the distant past even though it's not that long ago when you had from cover such as this one. about it's also owned the role the dangerous miss you all along the- you remember his- idea percent taxing- the super rich options at a rate of 70% above a certain amount of income so. she didn't they didn't stop asset honest at the commerce offices. so there are more of a fun i suppose all of. and the- you could save nero fronont policy of out of. my car buddies you know france was
