get out. yeah. i think it was a little awkward, to say the least. you have the president who said, you know, these are our democratic values, we value these relationships, these are the ethics we abide by, we are democracies, we are better than autocracies, we are unified, we work together towards a common goal. then you have afghanistan and then you have this argument with the french, an ally. so you can imagine the french sitting out there in particular, but others as well saying, wait a minute, where was all this discussion with us before you decided to withdraw? you know, we were participants, we need to know what your intentions were. why not? why not do that? and aren t you a little hypocritical here? i m sure they re relieved he s not donald trump, honestly, because donald trump wanted to say fwgood-bye to nato.
