one of the things to migrate to a there's a fundamental difference between the united states and europe if everybody leaves south dakota that was there are not many jobs there, nobody cares a lot. the nature of a national identity is different. but other important parts are when washington mutual, one of the biggest banks went into trouble it wasn't a stat the stf washington that bailed out washington mutual. it was the federal government fdic. when we go into a recession, we have a national unemployment insurance system fo so the costs picked up nationally. in europe it's just the opposite is greece has to bail about and they have to pay. one of the things you have to have is the common deposit insurance. the idea of what they called the banking unit is now accepted that the juries has not now. sometime in the future but of course the damage that is being done is going to be hard to reverse. the spanish banking system isn't good to come back. one of the things europe did unknowingly and i don't think many people realize that at the time, they created the crisis to the sovereign debt cr

united states -- united nations, united states and germany are not always perfectly aligned, united states and europe are not always perfectly aligned, but the voice that speaks out on behalf of some dissident who is jailed halfway around the world, the voice who is expressing concern about some child in an afternoon village who doesn't have clean drinking water or is subject to some terrible disease, the voice that insist on rules and norms governing international affairs the voice that helps to steer the world away from war wherever possible, that's our voice. for often than not. and we're not always successful. but if that voice is absent or if that voice is divided, we will be living in a meaner, harsher, more troubled world. and we have to remember that. whoever is the u.s. president, whoever is the chancellor of germany, whoever is the leader of other european nations and other democracies around the world, they need to recognize that. there are going to be forces that argue for cynicism, for looking the other way with somebody else's problems, that are not going to champion people who are vuln

a europe that is increasingly divided among competing visions, sometimes individual member states and sometimes within member states. now it perhaps should go without saying. the unitedstates relies on europe. it is not only our biggest economic and trade relationship, our most interconnected defense relationship through nato, our intelligence sharing, our political cooperation. if you take almost any area of government activity, we work closely and often most closely with our european friends and allies. but now we're in a situation where european unity is under pressure from several different directions. unless you're an advocate of american unilateralism, which generally doesn't work out particularly well for the united states, we need to find a way to recognize and to address the way that affects our interests. now, the european reaction to the somewhat centrifugal tendencies has also not been monolithic. you have on the one hand brexit, and at the same time you have the european union producing a global strategy which is a good document that outlines a number of areas where the european union plays and important role and can play an even more important role in t
