What should the role of the US Military be in this conflict? Look, I think our role is support, deterrence, containing the fight. I don't think there's a role to have American boots on the ground [in the conflict]. You saw the carrier strike group move into the eastern Mediterranean. That is a significant show of force, I hope and think, to detain or to, excuse me, to deter with an idea toward containing this. (02:21–02:24)
