I would think of it more as a partnership with Japan.

I am very concerned about it. This is something that warrants concern.

We always take up the slack. We are always the ones that have to jump out and pay the bill.

I think it is time that we look, and realistically, at the Chinese expansion of power.

Yes, even more concerning than the value of the beer is that there is someone there with a shotgun, in your neighbourhood, with a bulletproof vest who feels perfectly comfortable to going into a store and using that shotgun to get what…

This type of politicization has impacts not only in our responsibility because what we're talking about now today is our responsibility as elected people in a democracy.

this research on low-dose radiation is vital to a lot of people's grandchildren and children, including my daughter.

There is no justification for it, although we have to recognize, as all of our folks have, that they have gone through a trauma.

It is about the craziest year I have ever seen.

If he wants to use this as an excuse to eliminate real democratic rights of his people... it is not only unacceptable, but it is also a historic disaster for the people of Turkey.

So no matter how thuggish the coup was, that can't be an excuse for the tyranny that happened even before it.

Right. And correct me if I am wrong. The falling out--that the Gulenist movement supported Erdogan prior to--well, when he was first coming to power politically...

I hope whoever is reading this testimony in Turkey understands that we know who your son is, and we will not--it will not escape our attention if he is continued in captivity.

If Turkey goes with more radical, more anti-Western forces... the stability that we have had is going to go right out the window.

What a tragedy to lose that goodwill and that sense of family that we have had with the Turks.

Is it indeed a conspiratorial movement that tries to in some way capture power from a democratically elected government?

That is an important distinction between somebody who gets mad because his children are being talked about in a bad way on social media versus somebody who is angry because his corrupt practices that were enriching him and his family have…

I don't find such charges to be credible, and I believe that the Turkish Government has erred by proclaiming anyone and everyone involved in the Gulenist religious movement to be part of a conspiracy that put on the coup.

So we have all kinds of people who had nothing to do with the coup----

As we stand here today, let us remember that the slaughter of Christians in the Middle East continues. The slaughter by radical Islamic terrorists continues as we do our business as usual. We have a President who is even unable to use the…

Whatever happened in the past does not justify Hun Sen's continuing iron-fisted grip.
