Russia is strong, when I say weak, I don’t mean weak in a sense of every other country, but weaker than we think they are, - U.S. Congressman Adam Kinzinger said in the exclusive interview with InterPressNews.

Congressman Kinziger also confirmed that he supports Georgia's membership in NATO.

"Russia is strong, when I say weak, I don’t mean weak in a sense of every other country, but weaker than we think they are. This is a former Soviet Union, it is a country that, its economy based completely on oil, oil prices are down. I think the part of the problem is, people just have a different view that standing up strong against Russia can provoke them, I think the reality is the opposite – if you stand up strong, they won’t be provoked. And I think the other thing is just, there’s a lot of people that feel like they don’t want conflict, they feel war-weary, and they don’t want to invest any more money in defense. So, in my mind, I think Syria is a perfect example – when Russia thought they could kick us out of an oil field we killed 300 of them and didn’t hear a word for a while", - stated Kinzinger.
