I'm standing up for the U.S. But it's hard when Russians don't have any respect for the current leadership.

What do you do when you get out of the military, you stop serving? There are 26 presidents who served in the military. More than half of our presidents... that means that you stop being an American?

I think that [Obama] sees the military actually as something that is more dangerous to the world. I think that he looks at the United States military and sees it as a threatening application around the world than actually as a useful tool.

Obama's decision to leave, to not sustain the victory that resulted after eight years of fighting, from 2003 to 2011 in Iraq, was another incredibly stupid decision. It was totally based on politics, not based on any notion of national security. It's a nightmare for our national security. And then you have the Libya intervention.

Nobody wanted Jeb Bush, nobody wants Hillary Clinton.

When you are given immunity that means that you've probably committed a crime.

I feel pretty passionate about what's happening to America.
