What they listen to is multilateral consequences. And so, we can take a strong position with China right now because if they do decide to get into some military deal with the Russians to resupply what they have lost on the battlefield, it…

I think a lot of people scratch their head a bit in the early days of this conflict and the weeks leading up to it, asking why President Biden wasn`t acting unilaterally without Europe. And the reason for that is first that he just…
There's no such thing as a no-fly zone over Ukraine, just as if we declared a no-invasion zone on the ground in Ukraine, the only way we could make that a reality is to put hundreds of thousands of US forces.
We should continue to flow support and weapons and arms to Ukraine, but we should make sure that the weapons we're transferring are ones they can actually use, and are going to be the most effective and helping to defend our country.
I frankly think that this exercise is not helpful... it's not in the United States interest to get into a conflict with another nuclear superpower.
The moment that gas prices start to surge even more, he believes that Republicans are going to be using this against the president.
I think it is a curious decision by Poland to announce their gift of several $100 million worth of jets to the United States without alerting us first.
I, frankly, think it would be national security malpractice for the United States to kick down the road another 6 months a nuclear deal with Iran.
First, second, and third, we thank the Ukrainian people for what they are doing right now on behalf of global democracy.
It is interesting how many potential interlocutors there are today between Ukraine and Russia.
The U.S.-India relationship, arguably, has never been stronger, and the United States is grateful to the people of India and Prime Minister Modi for our growing friendship.
The U.S. allies are coordinating to not only freeze the assets of Putin and his oligarch allies, but to seize those assets as well.
We should stand in unyielding support for Colombia's democratic process and institutions, not for or against particular candidates in the upcoming elections.
U.S. interests will be best served by a Colombia that vigilantly respects democracy and builds a more inclusive capitalism.
Colombia cannot achieve lasting peace without addressing the systematic inequities that have contributed to persistent violence.
An acute priority is collaborating with Colombia to fend off the malign activities of state and non-state actors.
We will engage with Colombia's next administration with the shared goal that governments must not only be elected democratically, but also govern democratically.
It is imperative that the United States and political actors in the United States respect the sovereign will of the Colombian people.
We also continue to support Colombia's security efforts to ensure every citizen can exercise their right to vote safely.
It is really hard to press our friends in the region to continue reform, and it is not coincidental that you have seen the doors shutting to the EU at the same time that we have seen democratic backsliding in the region.
If the choice eventually becomes the disintegration of the country and the region into civil war versus a difficult decision made by the high representative, I think we will have to carefully weigh the equities on both sides.
I will still press for increased U.S. involvement at the highest level, to try to resolve this, given that we have an opportunity to do it with new leadership.
The ramifications, the consequence of this settlement are going to be significant, and they`re going to last for a long time.
This settlement is the maximum amount that Remington was insured for. They had tried to make an offer earlier for about half to one-third this amount.
