Varney Do you think ░░░░░░░░ now the president is ░░░░░░░░ the NATO meeting in ░░░░░░░░ he s got a ░░░░░░░░ warm reception can you ░░░░░░░░ this a win for ░░░░░░░░ president Paul Well you ░░░░░░░░ the Bush s are ░░░░░░░░ Mike Pence is happy ░░░░░░░░ Kristol is happy all ░░░░░░░░ his critics that think ░░░░░░░░ s not bellicose enough ░░░░░░░░ just loving it and ░░░░░░░░ and they re very ░░░░░░░░ Many of them I ░░░░░░░░ secretly hope that we ░░░░░░░░ send troops into the ░░░░░░░░ East and be more ░░░░░░░░ in another prolonged war ░░░░░░░░ do think though that ░░░░░░░░ president s instincts are ░░░░░░░░ to people like Bill ░░░░░░░░ and Levine So I ░░░░░░░░ that the president actually ░░░░░░░░ try to keep us ░░░░░░░░ of war and I ░░░░░░░░ glad that we ve ░░░░░░░░ he s pushed towards ░░░░░░░░ ceasefire I think the ░░░░░░░░ has some good instincts ░░░░░░░░ don t agree with ░░░░░░░░ bombing and I do ░░░░░░░░ you have to ask ░░░░░░░░ Congress for permission that ░░░░░░░░ what the Constitution demands ░░░░░░░░ at the same time ░░░░░░░░ wish him well and ░░░░░░░░ think the president s ░░░░░░░░ on foreign policy are ░░░░░░░░ good Varney But it ░░░░░░░░ worth pointing out that ░░░░░░░░ has twisted the arms ░░░░░░░░ the Europeans to the ░░░░░░░░ where they re quite ░░░░░░░░ and have committed to ░░░░░░░░ doubling their defence spending ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ his influence as well ░░░░░░░░ the influence of Putin ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine that has gotten ░░░░░░░░ more involved with defending ░░░░░░░░ countries And frankly they ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine s you know ░░░░░░░░ the edge of Europe ░░░░░░░░ part of Europe and ░░░░░░░░ need to be the ░░░░░░░░ defenders and ones opposing ░░░░░░░░ And so I think ░░░░░░░░ has been motivated and ░░░░░░░░ think that s a ░░░░░░░░ thing.”
