budapest insists isolate punished putin rogue russia
Putin must be punished for violating the Budapest Memorandum, and Russia must learn that the U.S. will isolate it if it insists on acting like a rogue nation.
taken thinking russia
I've thought for some time that the answer to a lot of problems in the Middle East, including Iran, include an active role with Russia. And I think, in some ways, we've taken show votes in the U.N. that are guaranteed to failure before we take them.
somewhere-else russia way
The one way, possibly, out of this is for [Bashar] Assad to abdicate and plead, perhaps to Russia or somewhere else. Would save another wave of civilian casualties if we could get him to abdicate.
russia jumping iraq
My goodness, what we want in a leader is someone with judgment, not someone who is so reckless as to stand on the stage and say, "Yes, I'm jumping up and down; I'm going to shoot down Russian planes." Russia already flies in that airspace. It may not be something we're in love with the fact that they're there, but they were invited by Iraq and by Syria to fly in that airspace.
thinking russia want
I think if Russia is really an honest signatory to the chemical weapons ban, if Syria wants to be, ultimately someone has to be responsible for killing civilians. And that's the hard part out of this.
war russia needs
So if we announce we're going to have a no-fly zone, and others have said this. Hillary Clinton is also for it. It is a recipe for disaster. It's a recipe for World War III. We need to confront Russia from a position of strength, but we don't need to confront Russia from a point of recklessness that would lead to war.
self russia peaceful
The more we can have peaceful trade both with Russia, with China, and with others, you know, there's a self interest in this for everyone.
peace strength
'Peace through Strength' only works if you have and show strength.
cannot great israel money particular
Out of your surplus, you can help your allies, and Israel is a great ally. And this is no particular animus of Israel, but what I will say, and I will say over and over again, we cannot give away money we don't have.
caught era keeps papers supreme
I think the Supreme Court has not yet caught up to an era in which one keeps one's papers in a cloud, not a castle.
determine far federal
Judges can determine fair justice far better than any inane federal mandate.
immediate
I would support immediate construction of the Keystone Pipeline.
anybody bad believe business exclude private restaurant time
I think it's a bad business decision to exclude anybody from your restaurant - but, at the same time, I do believe in private ownership.
balances cuts five percent similar six year
My budget is similar to the Penny Plan, which cuts 1 percent a year for five or six years and balances the budget.
