You and i have had a good conversation on things and i will ask you what i ask most of the people being pointed. What do you consider the greatest threat . As a soldier and military officer, i would have to say it is russia. Russia is the only country on earth that retains the Nuclear Capability to destroy the United States. It has capability. Intent . Dont know. But the activity of russia since 2008 has been aggressive. They attacked and invaded georgia, seized the crimea and attacked into the ukraine. That is worrisome. I would also add china and north korea and isis along with iran including the recent agreemen
Today when we invented a more kind of lets say easier more accessible way to use morphine through prescription opioids in the early 2000 he let lead pharmaceutical Companies Marketing those drugs quite strongly to doctors and hospitals, and anyone who goes into hospital today, whats the first thing as you how much, whatever albeit you want to only get your pain. That has contributed to an increase in opioid addiction which is what you more of an increasing heroin addiction. Air went addiction actually, the heroin problem quoteunquote has been a result of pure, cheaper heroin your not from heroin that is actually cagey kind of some type of side effect. Do you discern a question in that . Go ahead. The problem youve put your finger on, which is missed prescribing doctors and the excesses of the pharmaceutical enterprise the opioids, i think in many cases is correct. The fact that we have prohibition means is those folks become medically addicted are then stigmatized. They dont have acces
Can be accomplished [ inaudible ]. Why dont you go ahead and take it. So let me first say, i think you touch upon an important observation about too big to fail which so much relies on the discretionary decisions of government and government decision makers, whether it is the d. O. J. Or the s. E. C. There is nothing about too big to fail economists. It is by political decisions and of course when eric holder goes before congress and said that somebody is too big to jail, that reinforces that perception. And on the data point, so again i would start with data can be suggestive as best and during the crisis we saw suggestive data that the funding advantage for the largest institutions had expanded and yes that has contracted but in my opinion you would expect that to contract post crisis.

Must remain at the heart of the fcos work and our diplomacy. The Prime Minister and the chancellor have said many times that you cant be a strong country unless you have a Strong Economy. You cant have a Strong Defense unless you have a Strong Economy to underpin it. The Foreign Office is an important part of the agenda. Ive said many times and ill say again today that the role of the Foreign Office, paid for by british taxpayers must be to protect britains security, to promote britains prosperity and to project britains values around the world. If we do these three things successfully, well deliver our obligations to the taxpayers who fund this. We want to be a major player on the world stage.
