assume you're alluding to the interview with emmanuel macron the french president this week where heain—dead i believe is the word he used. i think that is an accurate description of perhaps the rhetoric and kind of... especially given what donald trump has said about how europe needs to contribute more. i think it was very much a reaction to the west are all of us troops —— withdrawal, allowing turkey to roll in. that being done without consultation with the us‘s european allies, they felt blindsided by that. but let's remember the us is still the linchpin of european security. it still contributes, accou nts security. it still contributes, a ccou nts to security. it still contributes, accounts to two thirds of nato members defence spending, has thousands of troops still in europe. provides key missile defence system for europe. but i think what he was acknowledging was the reality that europe does need to start spending more on its own defence which is very much what trump wants to hear, right? the reality of that is even if europe steps up with a plan to create a security framewor
