Russia and the United States still control strategic nuclear arsenals capable of blowing up the world many times over.

I have no illusions about Vladimir Putin. I think he is a thug and a bully.

I share your concerns about Russian verification in the INF Treaty that there are some areas where we have concerns.

We just passed a significant deadline for the New START, which requires both the United States and Russia to limit the number of deployed nuclear warheads and platforms.

We've got to be very sensitive about what they're trying to steal from us; but, on the other, we've got to continue and even, I believe, ratchet up our investments.

A ground war on the Korean Peninsula would be devastating to our long-term strategic interests in the Indo-Pacific region and around the world.

Long-term strategic competitions with China and Russia are the principal priorities for the Department of Defense.

I am not sure that throwing a small number of U.S. troops in the middle of it is a sustainable, long-term solution.

We need to hold our partners and our allies accountable for how those resources are used.

The Yemeni people are suffering, and this is a humanitarian crisis.

As I understand it, refueling operations are governed by something called a bilateral acquisition and cross-servicing agreement.

Thank you, General Votel and General Waldhauser, for your work.

The Trump administration's failure to fill major diplomatic posts has damaged our diplomatic readiness, and that makes our military's job harder.

We need to have both a strong military and a fully staffed State Department to best defend America and its allies.

I remain concerned that our recruiting system is so focused on recruiting for the military of today that we're not effectively targeting the best talent.

If the Trump administration doesn't fully implement sanctions, then we're not using every tool we can to effectively deter Russia from undermining democracy in the future.

It doesn't do us any good to have tools in the toolbox if we don't pick them up and use them.

What message does it send to Vladimir Putin that the United States has not fully implemented sanctions to counter known Russian cyberattacks?

We're frustrated that this administration has not lived up to its responsibility to do something about the Russian cyber action.

I think we need to think much harder about the role that DOD plays in future hurricanes because we know they are coming.

Health care has been a particularly hard hit area.

Puerto Rico has still not recovered.

I do not think it is asking too much to expect it to work 100 percent of the time, and if that is not possible, to rethink our overall approach.

I am very glad to hear about your commitment to a diplomatic solution with North Korea and that we not get bogged down into a long-term conflict there.

If there is a long-term conflict on the Korean Peninsula, what impact would that have on our ability to prepare for a high-end conflict like the kind described in the defense strategy?
