flagging a losing territory and inspiring other authoritarian regimes to advance. thisme articulation that colonelar vindman had about it just looks like we re not serious. this is obviously whene you we at the national security council, this is very important issue. the idea is when donald trump weakened nato, it s gnat that he actually did anything. he sort of said we re not that serious about this, you guys need to do this. it s these implications we re not going to be solid partners to you. you and i have talked to world leaders who are very concerned about this. they do think if they have to th make a determination the united states is not serious, they start strategizing about their world view differently. rl yeah, that s right. and let me try to be very specific ability this, ali, because this began to get worse in the obama years where it used to be there were some baseline issues of national security,
