The United States has global interests, and those global interests require presence around the world...
The treaty is a valuable confidence-building measure in that it provides for a vitally important continuing dialogue between the United States and Russia on strategic nuclear weapons.
I do not. I have studied the treaty rather carefully, and it is my own judgment that it provides adequately for the national security interests of the United States.
I just wanted to make a really, I think, basic point on this issue, which is that we have, without doubt, the best military in the world.
