We are stronger than we ever were before in terms of the European Union, NATO. All of this was not part of Putin`s plan. I think he thought that we would start to fray around the edges very, very quickly.
The alliance is strong. NATO is stronger than it`s ever been, and the European alliance and partnership with the United States is stronger than it`s ever been.
President Putin miscalculated. He miscalculated how strong our partnership with Europe (INAUDIBLE), and he miscalculated NATO.
This is part of their playbook. They have done this before. They did it in 2014, and it was not accepted.
