00:00Now that you're looking at NATO from the outside, do you feel the role of keeping that alliance
00:07together has become much harder since you stepped away?
00:12I think it's correct to say that it's harder now, meaning that the tensions between Europe
00:20and North America and the United States are even stronger and more difficult to manage.
00:27You know, my father, he was really the man that taught me the value of compromise.
00:36His main message was that compromise is the most beautiful thing you can do and he defended
00:43the idea of making compromises and I've learned that from him and I have taken that into my
00:50own political life.
00:50Being the Prime Minister of a coalition government, of course you need to make compromises.
00:57Being the Secretary General of NATO, as I was for 10 years, of course you have to make compromises,
01:01but there is a limit.
01:03And the challenge is to find when you are not willing to make more compromises and then
01:09to go for confrontation.
01:14And that's the difficult decision for every politician, when to stop compromising and when
01:22to actually take the cost of conflict confrontation.
01:24And for the Secretary General of NATO and for NATO today, of course, I still believe that the
01:31task is to try to keep North America and Europe together.
01:34But there are limits for what we should accept and I totally agree with NATO allies and all
01:40those European NATO allies who said that, for instance, to try to threaten another country,
01:47to threaten Greenland, to threaten Denmark, that's unacceptable.
01:50So there are limits for compromises.
01:52Let's take a look at all of this.
01:52Let's take a look for the Jabba.
01:52Let's take a look at all of it, and there's a link that looks at the button where
01:52that is the so-called-and-and-Now everywhere.
01:52This is our country on sabbatical answer line, where which you can keep the land.
01:52And I'm thinking, I'm thinking I was trying to get an effort.
01:52I think if we can do it, but we can take a bit of how, and what
