Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias on local defense production: There is currently no program in the Greek Armed Forces that will not meet the 25%+ requirement.

Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Elbridge A. Colby: Canada basically functionally demilitarized after the first Trudeau government, the Trudeau the father.

Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Elbridge A. Colby: There are escalation options that don't involve doing Vietnam and Iraq.
