I personally believe that we need to consider lethal defensive weapons for Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin's goal is to make the world safe for autocratic dictatorships and to undermine the values that we hold dear in this country, which is representative democracy.

We need changes, we need a new strategy, we need a new idea of how to approach this.

It is politically difficult for the administration given what they campaigned on; but I don't see any way around it.

More revenue is certainly an option, and I understand campaign promises, but all of the campaign promises... don't add up.

the world order that existed for, you know, a long time post World War II is stressed and requires some changes.

It is perfectly okay to push our allies that they need to contribute more.

I think it is, you know, without question true at this point that the world order that existed for, you know, a long time post World War II is stressed and requires some changes.

All of the campaign promises that the administration made, they don't add up, so something has got to give.

we were not entering an arms race because we bilaterally have a verifiable inspection regime for the weapons that are deployed.

I believe the New START Treaty remains in the national security interest of the United States as long as Russia complies with its terms.
