I recently came across what Colin Powell wrote about her in his memoirs[1]:
> In his memoir My American Journey, Colin Powell recounts a discussion he had when he was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. "What's the point of having this superb military that you're always talking about if we can't use it?" she asked. "I thought I would have an aneurysm," Powell write. "American G.I.'s were not toy soldiers to be moved around on some sort of global game board."

- zabzonk 5y ago> American G.I.'s were not toy soldiers to be moved around on some sort of global game board Yes, but you must be believed in that you may use your military. The current problem in Ukraine is that Putin believes (and seems to be correct) that NATO will not use its assets.
