| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the NATO summit, which is wrapping up from the Netherlands. |
| 0:06.3 | And this was a NATO summit, which was not focused on Ukraine. |
| 0:12.0 | We haven't seen that in the last three years. |
| 0:15.1 | The NATO summits have pretty much been all about Ukraine, giving money to Ukraine, giving weapons to Ukraine, |
