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.

There Are No Cookie-cutter Solutions That You Can Apply From One Circumstance To Another. They're Different. Our Interests, As Implicated, Are Different. The Tools We Have At Our Disposal Are Different.

I've Been Very Lucky To Have Had A Supportive Family, A Great Education, Enormous Opportunity And Challenge.
