Trump’s Global Strategy, AI’s Kill Switch and the Midterm Economy

now? Well, I think it's, uh, it's right now, it's a pretty messed up place, the world, if you look at it.

And, uh, a lot of the paradigms that used to, that gave us 80 years of the longest stretch of peace and, uh, order that we've had are coming undone.

And I think NATO is under pressure.

I think you have the wars in Iran and, uh, Ukraine going horizontal.

You have a lot of our allies, particularly Canada, reaching out to China because people can't just depend upon us anymore.

You've got a president who is getting more and more of a reputation of empty threats, you know, bomb their civilization.

And then now the latest was apparently he was back and forth and back and forth and back and forth on whether to help the Saudis against the Houthis.

So the bottom line is people can't depend on the U.S. anymore.

And there's many, many reasons for that.

My personal biggest concern is Putin, when I say going horizontal, is looking at Europeans are very nervous that he is being bogged down in Ukraine.

He's going to try something in Europe.

And if he were to attack someone and Trump did not invoke article Article five, NATO is essentially done.

And that to me is the greatest worry because that is Vladimir Putin's number one goal.

And it has been for many years is to weaken, if not break up NATO.

Ashley, is Dave on to something or is he unnecessarily fear-mongering? I kind of feel like I heard

all this when we have during Iraq and after Afghanistan fell.

And I mean, I don't know.

I'm not, the sky's falling yet.

I do think that it's good that we're not the leader on Ukraine.

I think that it's that Europe stepping up for that is something that should be happening.

We don't need to, especially with what's happening in Iran and how that has spread, we don't need to be paying for all the wars around the world.

No, just the ones that we

start.

Yeah, well, no, we didn't.

Let's just talk about that for just two seconds.
