montenegro is a very tiny country with they re very aggressive people. they may get aggressive. congratulations, you re in world war iii. gene, how is the world order looking right now? not the way it looked a few weeks or months or years ago. turns out it wasn t a compliment that montenegrins are strong people. that was the president of the united states questioning the very reason for nato, article v, which, by the way, has only been invoked once, by guess who, by the united states after 9/11, not by montenegro, right? so it shouldn t be a surprise. he doesn t believe in the post-world war ii world order as
will build up in washington and outside of washington. you re hearing republicans speak out in a way i m not sure don t miss what the german foreign minister said. the president said he s having a great time in nato and nato loves him and don t miss what the german foreign minister says. which was? the german foreign minister says we re worried about the united states and we re thinking about the united states as us and them being in an adversarial relationship. very troubling. very bad for the united states. i know you have to go to break but the reason why we re spending more money on the military, that decision was made 75 years ago to make sure the united states had military superiority over all other nations. tell that to the president. but it s important for the american people to understand. when he says pay their bills, i get that if you want to make an adjustment to the post-world war ii order. the president is upsetting that world order. alisyn, we made

it s i think we re both saying we re pretty tough at putting over a case. but with trump, yao de that gs his opponents on the defensive every time. i want to close where we started. george, how worried should we be? really a lot of people in america now worried that we are witnessing the end of the american-led post-world war ii order, trade, nato, all that. i think we should be worried. when people like donald trump say to the population, you know, what the hell have you got to lose? peace, prosperity, and security are a lot to do. biepding into that global order. hard to do if you don t believe in it yourself.
in just over two weeks time, president trump and president putin are met to meet in helsinki, finland. it s an interesting choice with an important history. in 1975 the helsinki accords were signed there. this was signed by the united states, canada, and almost every european country. it solidified the post-world war ii order in europe. now the post-world war ii order has crumbled. russia s reach is extending even into the united states. and with a tweet on thursday, donald trump signalled he believes russia s denials despite the findings of his own intelligence community. the administration no longer seems to want to uphold the post world war order at all. nato is as bad as nafta, he has said. these are the atmospherics as the men prepare to have a
