That because we know Energy Security is essential to National Security. Nord stream 2 threatens european Energy Security, increases russian monopoly over the region.

And so we set about in good sport on capitol hill and we got legislation that was appropriate to and now have delay

If you write a book about the collectivity of achievements i would give you a choice. I could do a short synopsis of my book or i can tell you a story. So a lot of the book is about culture and how that matters and by that i mean where we are from and ancestors make a difference of how we do our job and how good we are what we choose to do for a living as a whole second half of the book and sometimes a difficult thing to wrestle with. One of the examples i use in the book illustrates the point of how much culture matters. There is a whole chapter on plane crashes. But now i will warn you i will tell the whole chapter. And its also a good deal scarier. And then he will be flying in a plane in the next month . Im sorry to hear that.
