Robert Gates: “Congress, you all have made your intentions well-known in that regard.”

I think the president is — based on what I read — is getting the sense that, as he put it, that Putin is 'tapping' him along.

There has to be an agreement between the president and the Congress on actually what has to be done to recapture our industrial-military industrial capabilities.

He wants Ukraine, basically, to be a client state of Russia.

I think it doesn't make strategic sense.
