We need nuclear deterrence against North Korea and others
Sen. Elizabeth WARREN [to Bullock]: We don't expand trust around the world by saying [like Bullock], "You know, we might be the first ones to use a nuclear weapon." That puts the entire world at risk. At a time when Donald Trump is pulling out of our
nuclear negotiations, expanding the opportunities for nuclear proliferation around the world, the world gets closer and closer to nuclear warfare. BULLOCK: I agree [that] we need to get back to nuclear de-proliferation.
But at the same time, when you actually have Korea; when you have others, I don't want to turn around and say, "Well, Detroit has to be gone before we would ever use that." When so many crazy folks are getting closer to having a nuclear weapon,
I don't want them to think I could strike this country and I and we as the United States of America wouldn't do a thing. Part of the strength really is the ability to deter.

We've been in Afghanistan for entire life of young recruits
Q: Would there be American troops in Afghanistan at the end of your first term?
A: "Think about somebody joining the military right now--Afghanistan and the conflict has been going on for their entire life."
