I Don't Worry About How Folks Want

Peace, Prosperity, And Democracy Cannot Endure If Imposed From The Outside. We Should Cease To Make False Distinctions Between Peacekeeping And Prevention; They Are In Fact Inextricably Linked.

I Think Most Americans Understand That We Went Through A Period In Which American Leadership Was Judged Quite Critically Internationally.

The Russians Are Clearly Already Engaged In A Proxy War Against The Government Of Ukraine. And That Is Something That We And The Rest Of The World Have Actively Condemned And Sanctioned Russia Already Heavily For, Particularly The United States, As We Have Imposed Now Meaningful, Tough Sanctions In Critical Sectors, Including The Defense Sector, The Financial Sector, And The Energy Sector.

Change Doesn't Happen With People Sitting On Their Behinds, Getting Lazy.

The United States Really Only Accounts For About 3 Percent Of The Economic Engagement With Russia. Europe Is 40 Percent, And So Europe's Contribution To This Pressure Is Far More Than Symbolic. It's Very Practical. And That's One Of The Many Reasons Why We Have Worked Hard To Remain In Close Coordination With Our European Partners.
