Ian Bremmer Says There Is No Iran Deal

What was said

"The Ukrainians today are the most powerful military. No one else is close in all of Europe. Number 2 in NATO. And the Americans, should be working closely with the Ukrainians to share that technology and that experience because those are warfighting capabilities that will leapfrog a lot of the legacy systems that the Americans have been spending billions upon billions of dollars for, for generations, but will be mothballed with AI."

Ian Bremmer asserts Ukraine has become the second-strongest military in NATO behind only the United States, with AI-powered drone warfare capabilities that surpass traditional European forces. He argues the U.S. made a strategic mistake by abandoning Ukraine a year ago, given their advanced warfighting technology now exceeds legacy American systems. This represents a dramatic reassessment of Ukraine's military value.
