I think this is our gravest sort of state-to-state danger, is misunderstanding and leading to accidental conflict.

It is inexcusable that the country that invented Hollywood and Facebook is being defeated on the information battlefield.

If I were China, I would not want a nuclear-armed guy right on my border who could threaten me.

I think Kim Jong un has elevated that to a cycle of provocation, provocation, provocation.

I urge you to set your general counsel loose on that issue.

It would be a mistake as a matter of national policy, rhetoric, or discussion if we attempted to alienate or marginalize Muslim citizens of anywhere in the world because these are our allies in all of the fights that we are engaged in in…

I want to compliment you on your written statement. It is a primer on the region.

Part of Russia's history is a kind of paranoia about the West, going back to Frederick the Great and probably Napoleon.

I think communication is an important component of deterrence.

It is an attack on our country.
