 Are we as a military, are we as a nation prepared to continue to take on this immense challenge around the world, whether it's in the Middle East, whether it's in Europe, whether it's in the Far East, whether it is the whole China piece? Are we ready? Ambassador, I'll start with you. Well, you know, you pose it as do we have, which choice do we take? Do we take a choice of being engaged and having these responsibilities and interests globally, or do we just dismiss those and sort of retrench, right? And I think it's a false choice. I mean, you cannot defend America from America's borders alone. You cannot promote American prosperity with a domestic economy alone. We are so intertwined today that there's really no choice. To protect our interests abroad. And we do that through a number of ways. I mean, we do it on a case-by-case basis in conflict areas, like support for Ukraine, our support for Israel today, and so forth. We do it bilaterally every day with 190-some embassies and so forth around the world with military commands, like the ones that Jamie has commanded. We do it multilaterally, and this often doesn't get enough attention. But we do it at the UN headquarters every single day, multilateral diplomacy. We do it every single day at NATO headquarters in Brussels, where now 31 allies are all under the same roof.
