The former secretary of defense said the days of cooperation with Russia are gone and that the U.S. must stand alongside its allies against President Vladimir Putin.
Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis has criticized Russia for interfering in U.S. elections, as he slowly re-enters public life following his resignation from President Donald Trump's administration last year.
But much of the excitement around the book has been over Mattis' time in the Trump administration, and especially his resignation in December 2018 following disagreements with the president over the U.S. strategy in Syria and Afghanistan. "That's in more the economic vein and I won't comment on that, but we're going to have to deal with the [Russia President Vladimir] Putin that is, not the Putin we wanted," Mattis replied.
Mattis was among the senior advisers that worked to curb the president's most extreme impulses, and was one of the so-called"" along with former Chief of Staff John Kelly, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster and former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
