Nobody believes we`re going to take down -- I was talking about taking down Putin. Nobody believes that, number one.
As long as Putin is in power - - A, he`s killing two countries, both Russia and Ukraine, and nothing constructive, no constructive dialogue is possible with him.
The fact of the matter is, I was expressing the moral outrage I felt toward the way Putin's dealing and the actions of this man, which is just brutality.
I`m not walking anything back. In fact, the matter is I was expressing more outrage I felt toward the way Putin is dealing and the actions of this man, just brutality.
We have a sacred obligation under Article 5 to defend each and every inch of NATO territory with the full force of our collective power.
These international sanctions are sapping Russian strength, its ability to replenish its military, and its ability to project power. And it is Putin who is to blame, period.
The gravity of the threat is why the response of the West has been so swift and so powerful and so unified, unprecedented, and overwhelming.
There is simply no justification or provocation for Russia’s choice of war. It’s an example of one of the oldest of human impulses: using brute force and disinformation to satisfy a craving for absolute power and control.
My message to the people of Ukraine is the message I delivered today: We stand with you. Period.
In this battle, we need to be clear-eyed. This battle will not be won in days or months either. We need to steel ourselves for the long fight ahead.
