we all have great respect for former secretary of defense james mattis. i don't think there is any such thing as a tactical nuclear weapon, a strategic game changer. if you can ask the question and not get a good answer for yourself what happens next? what is the result of that? we have to have a different frame of mind as we look at these questions. there is no question -- i would call it a baby nuclear weapon. is that what we are thinking about when we think about nuclear war? somehow that is not going to have a response that wouldn't be so damaging for country of our allies? i don't know why we are pushing so hard to think that we are ready to make the decision about this. i think the language being suggested here signals we have a plan for this and they ought to have one too. we know we already have weapons that are so lethal that there is everything in the world that could be achieved from that that is horrible for the world. we are so excited to have deploy missile warheads on submarines that are devastating. we are not able to answer the question a

i know we have great respect for former secretary of defense james mattis and you're all aware. i don't think as he said -- i quote, i don't think there's any such thing as a tactical nuclear weapon. any nuclear weapon used at any time is a strategic game changer. and if we can ask the question -- if you can ask the question and not get a good answer for yourself what happens next? what is the result of that? then i think we have to have a different frame of mind. as we look at these questions. there's just no question that, you know, you -- i would call it a baby nuclear weapon. is that what we're thinking about when we think about limited nuclear war? and somehow that's not going to have a response that wouldn't be so damaging whether it's in our country or in a country of our allies? so i don't know why we're pushing so hard to think that we're ready to make the decision about this. i think that the language that's being suggested here signals that we -- you know, we have got a plan for this and they ought to have one too. they ought to have one that's harder than ours and we

former secretary of defense james mattis, who had enormous respect here in copping, said, quote, no enemy in the field has done as much harm to the readiness of the u.s. military than the combined impact of the budget control act's defense spending caps worsened by operating for ten of the last 11 years under continuing resolutions of varied and unpredictable duration. now, in plain english, madam president, what that means is that because of the president's leadership and the recommendations of our bipartisan leaders, we will avoid what secretary mattis said has been so damaging to our military. here's what happened. back in 2011, we passed a budget control act to try to limit this part of the budget. that came after a special committee was appointed, which everyone hoped would deal with this part of the budget, the problem part, the part that's causing the deficit. the budget control act came up with a formula that everybody thought would work. they said, well, if we put in there that we'll have dramatic reductions in military spending, congress will never do that, so they'll be forced
