  <title><![CDATA[Breedlove Testifies Before the Senate Armed Services Committee ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>General Philip Breedlove, a distinguished professor in the Ivan Allen College Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee about U.S. Policy and Strategy in Europe on March 21, 2017. In his testimony, he discussed U.S.-Russian relations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;A dialogue with Moscow is possible. So too is cooperation. If the Kremlin is ready to work with us against Daesh or to improve the Iranian nuclear deal, we should be ready,&rdquo; Breedlove said.</p>

<p>&ldquo;But we should not be shy or hesitant about defending our interests when we are under challenge from the Kremlin. A policy of strength requires nothing less,&rdquo; he added.</p>

<p>Watch his testimony, which starts at 30:45, here: https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/hearings/17-03-21-us-policy-and-strategy-in-europe &nbsp;</p>

<p>Breedlove joined the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Ivan Allen College at Georgia Tech as a distinguished professor after retiring as NATO&rsquo;s Supreme Allied Commander Europe and the U.S. European Command Commander.</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
