“Corporations are not in business to be social-welfare organizations; they are there to make money.”

Our – our friends can’t trust us anymore. You know, Ukraine was a nuclear-armed state. They gave away their nuclear arms with the understanding that we would protect them. We won’t even give them offensive weapons.

There’s no question that as science, knowledge and technology advance, that we will attempt to do more significant things. And there’s no question that we will always have to temper those things with ethics.

What we have to stop and think about is that we have weakened ourselves militarily to such an extent that it affects all of our military policies.
