Calling Vladimir Putin an "intimidator," Condoleezza Rice recalled her experiences with the Russian leader and called on the Obama administration to reexamine its proposed defense cuts during a lecture at Texas A&M on Tuesday.
"A strong defense is ultimately, after all, the foundation of peace," Rice said, while emphasizing that proposals to cut the Army to its pre-World War II size would "send the wrong signals to a world in turmoil."
The first African-American woman secretary of state, who served under President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2009 and on President George H.W. Bush's national security council from 1989 to 1991, discussed the impacts of modern American politics with a packed audience at Rudder Auditorium as part of the MSC Wiley Lecture Series.
During a question-and-answer session, Rice was asked if the United States' opposition to Russia's annexation of Crimea was justifiable when its been involved in its own invasions in the past.

Good luck finding somewhere that the US won't bomb. I doubt that you really want to go to Russia or China though.

I'm not so sure the MIC wouldn't like to bomb either one of those countries. I just hope their not that stupid.
