I think this administration's withdrawal from America's traditional leadership role has left a power vacuum around the globe.
When Russian soldiers start coming home in body bags, I think that his calculation will be different.
I disagree with the administration's lack of providing weapons to the people of Ukraine.
You and I have long shared deep concerns about Russia's aggression under Vladimir Putin.
I think it was a strategic blunder that NATO did not admit Ukraine--and Georgia, by the way--in 2008.
If we want NATO to continue to be successful and not just worthless, it seems to me Ukraine is where we make our stand.

Putin continues to hone in on Nagorno-Karabakh, an area that we don't talk about that much anymore.
The world, unfortunately, to a considerable degree, has accepted this as a fait accompli.

I worry about that. History, in the last 200 years of this republic, is strewn with people who made that miscalculation, pushed us too far.
