Henry Kissinger: “One's effort should be not to break up Russia, but to retain Russia in the system in some fashion.”

I believe it likely that the leadership realizes that it is very difficult, if not impossible, for them to carry out the domestic changes in an atmosphere of Cold War with the United States.

I think we need a strong State Department.

We are currently speaking loudly about Chinese incursions in the South China Sea, the Russian Navy incursions, and yet we are carrying an ever-smaller stick.

I believe that we have to be very firm in insisting on carrying out these agreements.
