All right, Alexander. Let's do a breakdown of the Munich Security Conference.

The conference has ended. It ended in tears. Actually, you had the chairman of the actual

conference breaking down on stage and crying because of the state of the entire event and the atmosphere of the event,

which was, I believe, was dictated by one J.D. Vance, the vice president of the United States,

who on the first day of the security conference

delivered quite a remarkable speech.

Maybe the second best speech ever given in Munich

next to Putin's 2007 address at Munich.

But that speech definitely set the mode, the mood, sorry, the mood for the rest of the conference.

And it wasn't even about Russia and China. It was about Europe and the problems with Europe,

and perhaps even an ultimatum by the United States to the Europeans.

Get your act together or else where we're out of here.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on the Munich Security Conference now that it has ended?

And what do you think was the message from the United States?

And what do you foresee going forward?

It was a speech that lasted all of 22 minutes. It was superbly delivered, if I could

just say. Vance is clearly a fine orator. You know, somebody who has taken an interest

in rhetoric. I thought that at a technical level, it was a

very, very accomplished speech. It was 22 minutes that changed everything. It has shaken Europe,

the entire structure in Europe, to its foundations.

Because Vance came along and he said to the Europeans, you're not Democrats anymore.

You're no longer free.
