I do not know how you can watch what has happened in Ukraine, the atrocities that have been committed there on a par with the kinds of things that happened in World War II and say, well, this is all right because they wanted to join NATO…
We need a policy where Putin wakes up every morning worried about what we will do.
I think there is a real opportunity there and I think that we really ought to exploit it.
I think probably anybody that operates in this lane on diplomacy cannot be more disgusted with the U.N. than it is right now.
It appears the White House never really thinks about Russia until Moscow makes a move.
Russia under Putin is an autocratic and imperialistic regime and poses an acute threat to the freedom and stability.
To be honest with you, I do not see how we move forward with the current situation the way it is in Sudan with two warring generals.
I think it is a good discussion of the issues and the problems and how we got here.
Has any consideration been given to getting an envoy or somebody who is specifically focused on Sudan?
More should have been done to protect the Sudanese people from the military junta.
History tells us what is going to happen and that is it is going to move towards a full blown civil war.
We have seen this movie before. As Sudan faces a potentially catastrophic civil war and state collapse...

This is not a happy occasion. It is disappointing we are here today having this hearing.

the Federal Government owns two out of every three acres in Idaho--67 percent--so it is always interesting to meet with the person who actually has more to say and more control over our lands than Idahoans do.
Don't do it. We have a legislature in Idaho. Republicans and Democrats. They passed a resolution in both the House and the Senate, unanimously, bipartisan.
