Quote

A bully has no respect for a weakling and the way to stop a bully is not to be weak. The way to stop a bully from ever being a bully is to say: I'm as strong as you. Anything you do to me, I can do to you. We are going for nuclear and conventional disarmament but we're going about it in the right way.
