‘All I’m asking for is a cold, nasty piece of ice’
Apart from this he said that what I am asking for is a cold and poorly placed piece of ice. It can play an important role in world peace and security. Our demand is very small. We have given them for many decades. We will get nothing. I do not decide to use too much power and force where we would be truly invincible. I won’t do that, okay? I don’t need to do this. I don’t want to use force.
