We need to rebuild the military to where it was when Ronald Reagan had it," he said on Fox. Then, he said, "we need to let nations know clearly, if you fool with the United States, you have had it."

It violated commitments, made as late as the Bush administration, that NATO would not extend to Eastern Europe if Russia left the region. "We double-crossed the Russians," Buchanan said.
