On the recordMay 21, 2014
Again, I am pleased to join my friend from Colorado on this particular issue. When you have a partner, which is Russia, who is already engaged in a cyberattack against Estonia, they have invaded and declared independent the two northern provinces of Georgia, and they also have done everything we know about in the Ukraine right now, and, in addition, have violated the existing INF Treaty--and we can talk about that classified material because it was quoted on the front page of The New York Times; they have violated that--it is in the best interest of the United States to wait until we have a more profitable, reliable partner before launching into another endeavor. With that, I actually support this amendment. I think it is well- timed, well-placed.
