they ve done a terrific job. i was in the meetings, the nato meetings with secretary blinken. they have a unified alliance, pretty much germany, too, despite the new government. there s a more anti-russian foreign minister in germany than under the merkel regime. but because of the green party as well, which is not as excited about the natural gas and nord stream 2. it gets complicated. in any case, the alliance, they ve worked that hard. also, what i was checking on today is this new threat that the russians are proposing or suggesting, that they will put nuclear missiles in cuba and in venezuela. cuban missile crisis 2. the u.s. intelligence thinks that s is bluster. okay. this is one of those tom brokaw used to see his ufo, the unform seen can occur and it can change the dynamics of the politics of anything.
