First, with regard to the trilateral security partnership among Australia, the United Kingdom …

It is unfortunate that this meeting was necessary today, but President Putin is escalating Russia’s dangerous and destabilizing behaviour by threatening to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus. He has once again re…

Typical of the Russian playbook is to always pose a question without really having any intent. First and foremost, I do not read Seymour Hersh’s articles. And frankly, the United States does not base its policies, or responds, simply to charges by an individual journalist.
Let me just say that the …
