I do not believe any member in this room would deny the fact that the Russian Federation, led by Vladimir Putin, is a destabilizing factor in the world.
I think Vladimir Putin is a smart guy, but I do not think he is eager to cross red lines.
I do not think there is anything wrong with us or an administration pointing out weaknesses in an alliance.
We all know that NATO is an important institution. And it is not just--I think it is important to remember that it is not just a benefit to Europe.

What we can do, is maybe through resolutions, letters, speaking out, make our voice heard.
The president, who ran on be in this real tough guy that's just going to just destroy ISIS, gave up, it feels like.
We're less safe. I think does that mean tomorrow something bad is going to happen? You know, hopefully not.
Rand Paul is not really a Republican. He's a libertarian masquerading as a Republican.
As president, he has a right to do it. But as a member of Congress, and an American, I have a right and a responsibility to speak out when it's wrong and this is wrong.
