We have to understand how the Russian negotiation tactic is.

It is always to demand something — the absolute maximum — something that has never been yours, and then present threats, ultimatums, use force.

And then eventually there will always be people in the West who will offer you something so that you walk away with more than you had.

The size of the Ukrainian Army is not the problem, because they haven’t attacked Russia.

The size of the Russian Army is a problem for all its neighbors.

The size of the Russian military budget is a problem for all.

If the Russians are thinking that they are getting their maximum goals from the Americans, why should they want to talk to the Europeans? Because we will only make demands for them.

So that's why we have to work on our efforts to really put them in a position where they would go from pretending to negotiate to actually negotiate — which means the possession of strength.

After the Cold War, we now stand before a new global order.

The theoretical models — such as the claim about the “end of history” by Fukuyama — and the optimistic frameworks created by other positive developments, I believe, have now been disproven in practice.

Europe relied for decades on the strategic umbrella of the United States.

It neglected its own capabilities and must now recognize a new and difficult reality.

Strengthening a common defense policy is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

Security can no longer be taken for granted.

I would like to make a special reference to India, which I visited just two days ago.

A significant country — an emerging superpower — already with a GDP exceeding three trillion.

India has a role to play in our shared security, and I am proud of the pathways opening up for the strengthening of our defense relations.

The temporary flight restrictions cover the airspace over El Paso and nearby Santa Teresa, New Mexico, and will remain in effect until Feb. 21.

The FAA classified the area as national defense airspace and warned that aircraft violating the restriction could face interception, detention, or use of deadly force if deemed an imminent threat.
