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 thing...

We must view Russia not only as a serious adversary in its own right, but also recognize its role in U.S.-China competition.

We need to accept that Russia sees this kind of diplomacy as weakness and that it only seriously responds when we project strength.

I think it is a good discussion of the issues and the problems and how we got here.
