I rise today to applaud the leadership of the Hollywood Burbank Airport, the Southern San Fernando Valley Airplane Noise Task Force...

I do think that the administration could reject a no-fly zone, because it would be too likely to direct war between the United States and Russia.
I think that the general is right. This is what is the most devastating to Ukraine right now.
It tells you that the sanctions that we and our allies have put on Russia are devastating to the Russian economy and they`re contemplating a retaliation.
The more pressure we can put on, I think the more quickly we can get Putin to stop this tragic and brutal war of aggression.
I think that Lawrence, the intelligence agencies have been pretty spot on in their assessment of what Putin`s plans were, in their disclosure of Putin`s false flag operations, Putin`s timing. So, I have to give them a lot of credit…
I can’t imagine what they’re thinking is. You know, I understand, although it’s reprehensible, why Putin has been essentially using the nuclear saber-rattling tactic to just raise the temperature.
This is a momentous and tragic day when, once again, we see a dictator in Europe trying to remake the map of Europe by using his military power.
We can’t allow Russia’s controlling resources to continue to be leveraged over our allies.
Sadly, Lawrence, I think a full invasion is underway. The Russians will try to decapitate Ukrainian defenses. They will, in addition to the cyberattacks, they are shutting down the airspace and going after Ukrainian military assets, trying…
This will be a long and bloody campaign, a pointless, needless, disastrous campaign. And that may take months and it may take years. And all along the way, we need to have Ukraine`s back.
I think nothing less than the international rules-based order is at stake here.
I think we can expect that we will see a massive military campaign by the Russians that may very quickly overwhelm Ukrainian forces. I do not think we should judge whether that campaign by Putin will be successful in the first hours, days…
Ukrainians are a tenacious people and they will defend their homeland. They will defend their ability to decide their own destiny and not to be controlled by the Kremlin.
Well, you know, it would be a permanent end to the Nord Stream Pipeline.
Look, I'd like to see it all put in place ASAP, both because I think it's necessary. But I don't see the point in waiting if we can get our allies to come along with us.
Well, it depends on whether we and our NATO allies stick together and embark on an even more severe set of sanctions, which I fully believe and expect that we will.
Well, the Russians, I think have amassed all the forces they need to fully invade the country. They've already begun that of invasion. But they could very quickly move to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.
So, the consequences globally, the consequences to the international rules based order could not be higher, which is why we have to make sure that if Putin goes forward with this invasion more fully than he has already, that the costs to…
It looks very willful and if there`s evidence of potential willfulness and the destruction of documents, that is the kind of case that if any cases going to be prosecuted might be prosecuted.
That's the kind of thing you see in the third world. You don't expect to see that in what we would hope would be the most -- the best democracy in the world, but it is real tin pot dictator kind of stuff.
It would be, I think, intolerable for the department to have investigated Hillary Clinton over handling of classified e-mails and ignore allegations that Donald Trump may have brought the classified documents and violated classification by…
