Lloyd Austin actually said...

"We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can`t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine."

"U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is expected to host a big meeting tomorrow at the U.S. airbase in Germany, the Ramstein Air Base. The topic of the meeting is Ukraine."

"It must now be the goal of Ukraine’s allies, including the United States, to weaken the Russian military so they can’t do stuff like this anymore."

"The U.S. goal is for Russia to be weakened militarily."
