I can't let important policy decisions hinge on the fact that an election is coming up every 90 days.

My impression is that American policy speaks not of antagonism but rather partnership.

This is one of the gravest crises Europe has ever experienced... An agreement failed because of the completely stubborn attitudes of the UK and the Netherlands.

Naturally we are aware of the strength of our economy and naturally we don't want to downplay it.

The euro is a sickly premature infant, the result of an over-hasty monetary union.

If I correctly understand the goal of American policy, one wishes Russia to be a partner.

As far as missile defense is concerned, a very thorough consultation process is underway.
