This regime that is in power in our country today. It's not just corrupt. It's not just kleptocratic. It's not just authoritarian. It is a regime of murderous and it is important to say it out loud.

If you are a dictator, an aggressive autocratic dictator like Vladimir Putin, if somebody compromises with you, to you, that’s a sign of weakness, and that’s an invitation to grab more and more.
