On the 2016 Election: Modern Day Pearl Harbor
Inslee has likened Russia’s cyberattacks in 2016 to Japan’s Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
“Because of some infatuation with Vladimir Putin, the president of the United States refuses to recognize that we’re under attack. It’s like December 8, 1941, and Franklin Roosevelt getting up there and saying, ‘yesterday nothing happened.’” Inslee said. “That’s the situation we have right now, and it’s disturbing.”

North Korea: Time For ‘More Mature Rhetoric’
“The sanctions actually was a success,” Gov. Inslee said. “The international community agreed to these sanctions. We should let the sanctions speak rather than incendiary rhetoric. Teddy Roosevelt said, ‘speak softly and carry a big stick,’…we’ve got the big stick, it’s time for a little more mature rhetoric.”
