We recognize, we cant do it alone. This goes to the staffing issues. Theres going to be in National Guard component. Theres going to be another sector component to it. The dhs component to it. A Law Enforcement component so bringing the whole Community Together for response to Cyber Threats is a great lesson out of the ukraine. Two things i wanted to put a fine point on. One, the physical cyber convergence, the attack surface growing exponentially. When we Start Talking about the internet of things and the internet of everything, making security into the design of architecture becomes that much more important. Secure coding and the like. And i might note that one of the greatest deterrence and ive been an outspoken critic that we havent really articulated a cyber deterrence strategy and i think we in essence blame the victim. We blame entities rather than penalize and put pain and cost on the perpetrator but thats a longer conversation but maybe one of the best deterrence is the abilit
That is the answer to everything. When donald trump talks about hes going to raise tariffs on people. But, quite honestly, its in the United States in a victim again. It is victimhood. That is all that is. It is not that we are not charging china for tariffs, it is not that we need to erect a barrier for trade, when used to be done is to use the constitution to free americas , the dreamers, entrepreneurs, the Small Businessman. [applause] get the government out of the way and let us create [applause] when i first heard donald trump say that he was going to make ,merica great again, i thought this guys ego never stops. There is no end to his ego. A president does not make America Great. A president stands as a sentinel between you and the bloated government and he is facing this way trying to hold them back. He is just like, keep going, keep going, you people stop. That is what the president does. He stops the bloated government from getting into your life. By applying the constitution.
And some of it have to do with real and substantive issues that have created a sense of a disunited government and not a unity government. It was supposed to be a political marriage, of sorts in the modern sense. One side is playing a very traditional role in this marriage. Traditional in the afghaneastern context. Trying to dominate, trying to push, trying to impose. The other side again in the eastern sense accommodate, the flexible, to that extent possible, given its own political limitations. You have to realize that this is not just a marriage between parties or factions or individuals that fought in the elections. They are made up of a conglomerate, each one. So this is very difficult to handle. We did try to bring everyone under the tent, with very few upset with very few exceptions. Issue. But now once we had it, this is going to be a sort it was the only alternative. The tragic part is there was no other alternative but to create such a unity government, with the two top vote
Now convinces us that the dynamics in the National Unity government significantly improve. The taliban are probably not going to comment to the negotiating table. The Afghan Security forces will not be the miracle we had hoped and to some degree convinced ourselves it would be. And elections will probably not happen in 2016. That leaves us with no real way out of what was supposed to be the beginning of an emergence of a slightly abnormal constitutional situation that we are in now. That is why we are looking at alternatives. We have run out of the optimistic scenarios we once had. That is what is sinking in and making 2016 a particularly challenging and different year, even though the fundamentals may not change that much. Mr. Kugelman i imagine we will discuss how things are going to be getting worse, etc. , which is true. But to start with context, things are bad, but it is not all bad. There are plenty of people that did not expect the National Unity government to get as far as far
