The only way to have peace and settle the Palestinian situation is face-to-face talks between Israelis and Palestinians.

I think we all know by now, it was a bad deal. And you cannot believe anything the North Korean regime says and does.

I cannot foresee any scenario in the near term in which we would have an interest in removing the countries currently on the list, particularly Iran and Syria.

I am happy to support the Women, Peace, and Security Act brought forward by Representatives Schakowsky and Noem.

We need to ensure that we are not setting up road blocks to potential diplomatic opportunities that aren't in America's national security interest.

I want to thank Ranking Member Engel and the bill's sponsors, Representatives Noem and Schakowsky, for their bipartisan leadership.

To close. Mr. Speaker, in recent years, the United States has made tremendous progress shining a light on poorly understood problems around the world and working to find solutions: human trafficking, the advancement of women and girls, the…

I disagree with the administration's lack of providing weapons to the people of Ukraine.

Yet, in this environment, Putin continues to escalate.

Boy, it would come as news to the Baltic republics that the Russians are peace-loving people who are just buzzing our ships in the Black Sea because we are too close to their littoral.

Putin seems to be engaged in some kind of reestablishment of Russian hegemony in some kind of delusional czarist longing for some glorious past that really never existed, and that is very dangerous.

I think our lack of bringing them into NATO makes it virtually impossible for them to come into NATO in the future.

If we want NATO to continue to be successful and not just worthless, it seems to me Ukraine is where we make our stand.

If we allow Crimea to just be annexed and do nothing about it, don't even talk about it anymore, if we allow Putin to start this nonsense...

Putin undermines our efforts, to a great extent, by lending support to the Assad regime.

We cooperate on the space station. We cooperated on JCPOA to a great contribution to world peace, as far as I am concerned.

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.

I think it was a strategic blunder that NATO did not admit Ukraine--and Georgia, by the way--in 2008.

That does not mean that we should rule out cooperation with Russia.

Putin has taken advantage of, as well as other bad actors. ISIS, obviously, comes to mind, China building islands in the South China Sea.

A big part of the problem is that the administration has repeatedly rushed to try to cooperate with Russia...

I would like to commend my colleague from the Commonwealth of Virginia for his attention on Crimea.

When Russian soldiers start coming home in body bags, I think that his calculation will be different.

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.
