Paul Wolfowitz

Paul Wolfowitz

Paul Wolfowitz
Putin is behaving in a very dangerous way. And Donald Trump sounds as though he would simply sit back and allow that to go on. I worry about where that would end up.
Paul Wolfowitz

Paul Wolfowitz
History is just littered with problems that were solved that were supposed to be impossible.
Paul Wolfowitz

Paul Wolfowitz
Look, I think the notion that theres a dogma or doctrine of foreign policy that gives you a textbook recipe for how to react to all situations is really nonsense.
