Warner: ‘I’m Not Here to Defend’ Obama’s Approach to Russia

EXCERPT:

WARNER: "I’m not here to defend Obama. We ought to actually not deal in hyperbole; let’s deal in facts. The only reason, the only reason that Trump put sanctions on Russia was because Congress said, ‘We don’t trust you not to put sanctions,’ and they passed what was called CAATSA that took away the President’s authority to walk away from those sanctions. On the question of defense spending, yes, we've spent over $700 billion on defense, highest ever. Russia spends about $70 billion. My fear is we're buying the world's best 20th century military where Russia has decided in cyber and misinformation and disinformation to take conflict to us. And frankly, we need to step up our game."
