    EXCERPT:

    MOULTON: “The irony is that they’re actually real because of climate change, which is reducing the ice in the Arctic, making it much easier for ships to travel. And Russia is establishing a lot of bases up there. Yes, those are real security concerns. And the way America has addressed serious national security concerns for decades is to enlist our allies’ help because we don’t have the forces to put everywhere around the globe. So, if Trump is so concerned about Russia and China, then does he want to take over Poland, because they border Russia? Does he want to take over India, because they border China? Does he want take over Mongolia, kind of in between the two? I mean, this is just absurd. That’s not how the United States operates. It’s a dumb way to conduct foreign policy. And it doesn’t strengthen our national security, it actually puts our national security at risk because our greatest strength is our allies. And when our allies can’t trust us, they won’t fight for us. They won’t stand up to our adversaries. And all of that makes America much less safe.”
