Good morning everyone, it’s really great to see a lot of friends in the audience, and I appreciate you all being here today. I’d like to thank The Heritage Foundation for inviting me to speak today. I have followed Heritage’s research for many years and appreciate the work that you do, bringing original ideas to the debate here in Washington. I especially want to acknowledge James Carafano, Luke Coffey, Nile Gardiner, and the rest of the team here dealing with Europe and Russia keep up the good work.
