EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “I get back to my earlier question, how — we are — let’s face it, we’re waging a proxy war. We’re waging a proxy war, but we’re not giving our proxies the ability to do the job. And we’re —- and for years and years now, we’ve been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs and it has been cruel. It has been cruel. And — and we need now to give them what they need. So, three things we need to do. To get this thing done, we need to give them the weaponry they need, give them the permissions they need, give them all the military support, logistical, tactical we can without coming into direct conflict with Russians ourselves. Number two, we need to give them the money.”
