there's no more fundamental issue for the safety and security of the American people than our nuclear forces.

500 years of Russian history shows that it's actually the West that has more to fear from Russian aggression than Russia from the West.

My time is concluding. I will say that in a program that spends billions of dollars over the years, tens of millions of dollars of costs to develop an American-made capability so we are not depending on our number geopolitical adversary's…
