“Vladimir Putin is a smart guy. I don't like him, smart guy. He is going to advance the cause of Russia until he hits a brick wall. He's hit a brick wall in a few areas. I think we need to make it clear that your growth of the former Soviet Union is over. You can be a great power that's respected. Fine. But this is not going to be the old Soviet Union.” ThinkingGuyGrowthWallSmartOver YouSovietSoviet UnionGreat PowerBrick Wall Author:Adam Kinzinger
“Russia is a competitor. They're a strong nation, something we need to recognize, but their economy is just a little bit bigger than Illinois, so they're not our equal. I think its important to engage them. And I think it's important that we continue to fight for human rights, which is essential to denying the next generation of terrorists their recruits and this is a long-term fight we're in when it comes to the war on terror. And I think the Russians are exacerbating this by making people displaced and killing families and that's how you lead to radicalization.” PeopleThinkingImportantWarFightingStrongEconomyEqualKillingHuman RightsTerrorTerroristNext GenerationWar On Terror Author:Adam Kinzinger
