About how this, this is creating jobs here as well. being. when you send aid to ukraine, you also have domestic investment in preparing equipment and weapons that is going to go to ukraine, which could benefit american people. 101 of the sub plots in the larger question about what the the us role is in the world is nato more than a subplot? it s a huge part of it. and we heard during the trump campaign in 2016, during the trump presidency, a lot of harsh language about nato, saying you ve got to pay up to the other countries, which a lot of people actually who are not trump republican said that s not a terrible idea. in his interview with time magazine, president biden talked about nato. he said nato is considerably stronger than it was when i took office and guess what? i did it i did it we, are now the strongest nation. we have the strongest alliance and all of america, all of history in the meantime, while we keep skipping over, is
What the consequence of the success rush of russia and ukraine would be, right under during president biden s time in office, finland sweden did join nato, and that s something that as a foreign policy win, that the white house taus. so very often in his role in continuing to build and expand that alliance. and that is the warning that you hear over and over. and when kylee was talking about self-interests, that s also the point that president biden and others make about the imperative of the us continuing to help ukraine. because again, if it succeeds in ukraine, he s not going to stop he s going to go to other countries, other countries that are nato members that were there will be an obligation for the united states to send send, send our own personnel and troops to help and that s the point that president biden has been making. but you do see this growing isolationism in the republican party that has dominating, that, that is dominating the party in a way that we just haven t seen for such a long time. yeah. thank

That i found pretty jarring. i would think the idea of russia invading ukraine would strike fear in the hearts of many in western europe, and the prospect of having someone in the oval office who is sympathetic to vladimir putin s and s or bowls is probably terrifying. you know, you mentioned that germany is planning for the possibility of a trump second term. can you talk a little bit more about their thinking and why they seem so positive that this is trumps race to lose? yes. the german foreign ministry, after trump won the first election, and sometime in the middle of that first term, the kind of realized that they needed to rethink their approach to america, you know, like a lot of western governments, they have plans for dealing with developments in places like china or russia, but because the alliance with the u.s. has always been so close, they never felt like
And there are things he could emphasize about this that are not the same. he they ve gotten more fentanyl at the border over the last two years than the previous five years combined. but isn t the point to be and you think saying it s a more in his eyes, it s not as draconian as trump is not going to undermine the very thing he was trying to do which was stuck on the bord snr. i don t think it will. i think there s a difference between thousands of people coming across the border and the influx of people in urban centers around this country. there s a difference between that and grabbing babies out of mother s arms. yes, the child separation policy, a stain on our national conscience. claire mccaskill and john martin, we could talk about this for another four hours. thank you for making the time. i appreciate it. coming up can the transatlantic alliance really survive donald trump? that is not a rhetorical
Vladimir putin s ends or goals is probably terrifying. you know, you mention that germany is planning for the possibility of a trump second term. can you talk a little bit more about their sort of thinking and why they seem so positive that that this is trump s race to lose. yeah, so the german foreign ministry after trump won the first election and some time in the middle of that first term, they kind of realized they needed to rethink their approach to america, you know, like a lot of western governments. they have have plans for dealing with developments in place like china or russia but because the alliance always felt so close they never felt like they had to do that for america but now they do. they re developing plans for the outcome of the 2020 election. they have a plan if biden wins and most of the officials i spoke to in germany and across

Have alliance. correct. the largest have gone to the polls. everyone was predicting a landslide and it was anything but. the pleurality party got the most votes but not the outright majority. the prime minister gets a third term for only the second time in india history but it s a disappointment as you say to cobble together a coalition with parties that don t share hindu naturalist cultural dreams for india. i think it s a pushback on inflation and pushback on inequality in india and you re right. i think it s actually a good thing, joe, for india democracy. it was becoming too top heavy democracy and i think it s a good development, honestly. all right. so there is our comic relief for the morning.
Okay, peter, you wrote that this trip is going to put biden in an unfamiliar position finding both solidarity and isolation on the world stage. typically, these kinds of trips let him find his comfort zone in addition to providing a break from washington, but how is this trip different? yeah, of course president biden is an internationalist. he has spent a lot of his presidency trying to rebuild the alliance that frayed under his predecessor, former president donald trump who didn t get along well with the nato allies here in europe or other allies around the worl. this is biden s first trip since the october 7th hamas attack on israel, and since the war in gaza has inflamed so much of the world. and unlike president biden, a lot of european leaders are very down on israel, very much in the pro-palestinian camp. a number of european countries including norway, ireland, and spain recently decided they would recognize an independent palestinian state. international bodies have called
