COTTON I want to ░░░░░░░░ more broadly to what ░░░░░░░░ think are two myths ░░░░░░░░ have been propagated here ░░░░░░░░ by my Democratic colleagues ░░░░░░░░ by some of these ░░░░░░░░ Those myths are that ░░░░░░░░ President Trump is weaker ░░░░░░░░ Russia than was President ░░░░░░░░ Second that somehow NATO ░░░░░░░░ deterrence is undermined by ░░░░░░░░ United States rather than ░░░░░░░░ Europe So first let ░░░░░░░░ review what happened in ░░░░░░░░ first five months of ░░░░░░░░ administration President Trump has ░░░░░░░░ the Khan Shaykhun military ░░░░░░░░ in Syria he has ░░░░░░░░ down Syrian planes shot ░░░░░░░░ Iranian drones Thereby Russia ░░░░░░░░ unable to protect its ░░░░░░░░ main clients in the ░░░░░░░░ East We are on ░░░░░░░░ verge of deploying more ░░░░░░░░ to Afghanistan where Russia ░░░░░░░░ been meddling with ever ░░░░░░░░ intensity in recent years ░░░░░░░░ we finally proposed a ░░░░░░░░ that increases our military ░░░░░░░░ albeit not enough It ░░░░░░░░ ballistic missile defense and ░░░░░░░░ domestic agencies are doing ░░░░░░░░ they can to promote ░░░░░░░░ oil and gas production ░░░░░░░░ the United States By ░░░░░░░░ President Obama famously pushed ░░░░░░░░ reset button a few ░░░░░░░░ into his tenure six ░░░░░░░░ after Russia invaded Georgia ░░░░░░░░ mocked Mitt Romney for ░░░░░░░░ Russia our number one ░░░░░░░░ foe He asked Dmitry ░░░░░░░░ in a hot mic ░░░░░░░░ to wait until election ░░░░░░░░ discuss missile defenses because ░░░░░░░░ would have quote more ░░░░░░░░ Despite bipartisan support in ░░░░░░░░ Congress President Obama refused ░░░░░░░░ send lethal weapons to ░░░░░░░░ He stood idly by ░░░░░░░░ Russia returned into the ░░░░░░░░ East for the first ░░░░░░░░ in four years in ░░░░░░░░ And he stood idly ░░░░░░░░ as we heard today ░░░░░░░░ 2016 election So I ░░░░░░░░ dispute the premise that ░░░░░░░░ President Obama was any ░░░░░░░░ or tougher in defense ░░░░░░░░ U.S. interests.”
