I think Afghanistan is and will remain an anchor point for that pressure.

If we increase our supply of oil, especially into Eastern Europe, we will dent Russia's leverage on other countries and reduce the revenues that fund Russia's aggression.

Under no circumstances should we relieve pressure on Iran relative to ballistic missile capabilities and arms trafficking.

we are putting our military on a path where the force is so degraded and so unready that it would be immoral to use force.
