Globalisation will make our societies more creative and prosperous, but also more vulnerable.

For years, European leaders have pointed out that Europe is an economic giant, but a military pygmy.

If we get the capabilities, NATO, along with the European Union, can do amazing things.

And, perhaps most importantly, regional conflicts will again and again confront us with a cruel choice between costly engagement and costly indifference.

You've got to be able to act when it's necessary to act. And you've got to be able to act where the threat is.

An attack on one is an attack on all.

My favorite shots are the practice swing and the conceded putt. The rest can never be mastered.
