The government, is not talking about membership. The current Prime Minister went to brussels and talk to people, and he said that is not an agenda for ukraine. This is a technical position for our government. We need to look for some alternative ways of providing for security now. Notthe ways we had did work. It proved to be absolutely inefficient. All of those guarantees and assurances did not work. What else is left for ukraine to do other than to look for more functioningd a system of providing security . Right now it is not a very good conductingor service. It is on the verge. What im seeing and hearing from them, they are even trying to avoid doing this, because there are a lot of pro provocations and hostilities. Finde would be trying to out why were asking these questions. We should wait a little bit until things calm down before the new service and polls are conducted. Finally, the possibility of conflict in crimea troubles me a lot. I would absolutely agree that it is not regu
That is where ukrainians go. Im not an economist, so i have no idea how to go about doing that. I hope somebody does, but that seems to me to be a longterm challenge. Not just the economy, but also the governance as well. [applause] i will stop there. Thank you. We have some time for discussion. I invite questions. Please keep them brief. Please identify yourself. Hi, i am from georgetown university. Do you think the current actions will have some impact in future years . What about fiscal year 2016 . For the u. S. Yesfor the u. S. Im sure it will. I do not know how. I am not a u. S. Defense expert. I know that there are people in the pentagon and various regional commands that are thinking about russia that have not been thinking about russia for a while. I am sure that will translate into structure and planning and so forth. It is hard to tell. There are no numbers yet. I am Vice President of George Washington university. I am a ukrainianamerican. I want to complement the panel. This
Tomy question is a followup one of the other questions. You mentioned two things republicans avoid going in to the next election. You think they will be strong. My question was, what do you strength . He biggest 2014 is off year as an election. I believe as strongly as anyone the importance of having important conservative ideas. They will on their a more unveil a more comprehensive version of their own Health Care Reform that will be better than obamacare. People are working on that and doing good work. ,istory suggests the election it is about that partys tenure on the white house. Do you want to have to help them . Ut, or check senators that will not go along with president obama and given like his approval rating, it looks to me like republicans are in good shape. I think republicans hold the house. Different from 2016. President ial elections are about the future. Nonincumbent president ial elections, particularly about, president obama will have been there for eight years. Or do
Women are aware of what the possibilities are. Thats not to say that it should be to the advantage of one party or the other. Because we are there to get the job done. So if the impact of your activism of women and men on these issues relate to family is that it changes the thinking or reshuffles the priorities, for republicans, then thats a success. Its more important to pass the legislation than it is to win the election. Of course they dont want to pass the legislation, but the fact is that they have to hear the you know, the report is a wonderful work, thank you for it, but they have to know that people are aware that these are possibilities. They have to also, and this is my life, they have to know we are not going away. This is not going meeting. This is a way of life. [applause] until this changes, otherwise people think i will just get through this me, check the box. We are not going away. In the 70s there was a bill on president nixons desk for child care. People thought he mi
Disaster worldwide. So of course i do not call for any interference in iraq and reject it, even if it is the United States but friends also should provide advice and support and should play a role in order to bring the parties closer together. They should support their friend when they are in trouble. I mean we need weapons. We need political stand. We need an economic support and the United States need iraq to be a stable country to be secure, to be able to produce energy, to be democratic. All these are american and iraqi interests alike. Following the withdrawal of the American Forces we felt that iraq was left on its own while it was not stable yet or balanced enough and was not yet able to completely move towards a transition to a strong state. This is why at this point the center of power is balanced and situation that is something we need today. The United States politically withdrew in the last few years and they started moving or shifting their attention away from iraq but now
