Honestly did not expect to get the chills I got reading that speech. I'm sure the delivery wasn't great, but I've always valued content over delivery anyway.
A few parts of it really jumped out at me. Great message in saluting the Poles for meeting NATO commitments -- it really helps clarify what he means when he's calling NATO to account. Also very pleased and surprised to hear how strongly he pushed against bureaucracies, and in favor of individual liberty. Very Reaganesque message. And it was a nice touch by the speechwriter to point out the statues of Polish heroes in the U.S., and of Reagan in Poland. Got chills at that point too.
What I liked the most was the full-throated defense of the West. None of that wishy-washy, generic globalism, but a specific salute to what Europe and the West have achieved in history, and how it must be defended.
Loved it.
