ou could certainly make the case that it's a good thing we're in NATO. It's the only thing to stop Putin, and that would be a strong argument. But you could also make the case that maybe none of this would look this way if he had pulled out of NATO and Putin didn't feel threatened. The other possibility is that Putin wouldn't feel threatened by having NATO on his doorstep if America was not part of NATO. I mean everything would have looked different, wouldn't it?

So I don't know. I'm not saying it would have been a good idea to pull out of NATO. That's not my opinion. But it's not obvious which was the right way to go. It's not obvious. Now I think that also when he talks about pulling out of NATO, that could have been a negotiating position as well. So he may have been really serious about pulling out if the other countries didn't step up with money. You get that, right? He could be totally serious about pulling out if you don't give us more money. But then other countries gave more money, so I don't know if he was still as adamant about pulling out. But I think he was serious if they didn't give more money, which I would have agreed with actually. I think you did have to threaten to pull out if they didn't cough up more money. I think that part was right.

And then his aides worried that he might try to start a war with Iran or North Korea because of his crazy ways. Neither of those things were even close. He wasn't close to a war with Iran. It wasn't even close, I don't think. Was he? He didn't say anything that looked even close. It looked like he was just going to boycott them forever or whatever. And what about North Korea? North Korea is one of his success stories. He took the temperature way down in North Korea. I mean what was he going to do, nuke North Korea, his friend?

So the books have completely run out of material. Think about his legal troubles. Correct me if I'm wrong, but not counting January 6 for which no indictments are likely to come, say the experts, his
