Case, it is a training issue, right? here is someone who served on the force for many years. sergeant dorsey who mistook a firearm for a taser. they are built to be different. right? different colors. worn on different sides of the body consistently. different weights. does this get to a training issue as well do you think? listen, i don t buy the whole i didn t hwanknow what i had in hand for a minute. we train and we practice looking down the barrel of a gun so we line up our sites. in the four or five seconds she is yelling, taser, taser, taser, she is looking down the barrel of that gun as we are trained to do as she has done for 26 years like i did for 20. and to think that she looked down that barrel of that gun and didn t realize it wasn t yellow, it wasn t a taser, the weight was different, and then fired it anyway, is really inconceivable. one other issue. this had been a question, caroline, was the testimony on
Keep emphasizing. most certainly, this is very different. this is classic coercive diplomacy. trying to get diplomatically things as you just said, through the barrel of a gun. you helped prepare president biden for his last meeting with president putin. if you were preparing him this time, what would you warn him going into this meeting? number one, and i think they ve already moved to this. if you go back to that meeting, recall the president biden used to say we want to a stable and predictable relationship with russia. i applauded the effort, but let s be honest. putin doesn t want a stable and predictable relationship with the united states. so i think you just have to set that aside. number two, i would like to see the biden administration be more explicit ahead of time. very explicit, what they will do should putin use military force against ukraine. you ve heard about sanctions. you ve heard about veiled threats behind closed doors.
About in recent days. obviously we ve been look agent this buildup for a few weeks. there was a buildup earlier this week as well. their demands crystallized in the past several days, last last week when we heard several russian officials basically say what they want is some kind of agreement that nato won t expand one inch east, and ukraine won t join nato. i just it s hard to imagine what s the actual structure of that agreement they re envisioning would look like. but i think that s a kashlgtization they re look after. forcing an agreement at the barrel of a gun is an interesting tactic. do we think this is really putin trying to flex in such a way that he can keep nato out of ukraine forever? well, i want to be honest. i don t know what putin s intentions are. i studied the guy and met him first in 1991. and participated in many meetings with him during my five years in the obama administration. i don t want to pretend i know
Part of the legacy of the united states withdrawal from afghanistan. what will you say about that? look, it s heartbreaking, and i wish that girls around the world could have the kinds of opportunities that i had growing up here in the united states. but as horrifying as the situation in afghanistan is, there are places around the world where girls and women are treated terribly and the answer cannot be that the united states military goes in to every single one of these places. there are many other ways we can promote the rights of women and girls, and the answer cannot be at the barrel of a gun. congresswoman, thanks you for your time. coming up frp us, the cdc expected to recommend the pfizer vaccine for younger kids as soon as this afternoon. what parents need to know. that s next. greetings from audi.
Roughly 25% of our cost base. any rising that has a significant impact. you did say it is a complex picture. there are other things i have not mentioned. we are just reviewing our energy costs and i know everyone has heard this time and time again but we are at that barrel of a gun where our energy contracts are up the river newell in january and we re looking at rises no less than 30%. we have one that is over 70%. we are really being squeeze hard. again, it only ends up in one place. squeeze hard. again, it only ends up in one place- in one place. when you crunch all of those factors in one place. when you crunch all of those factors together in one place. when you crunch all of those factors together and - in one place. when you crunch all of those factors together and you i in one place. when you crunch all of those factors together and you say l those factors together and you say the net outcome will be an increase in the cost of the paint potentially by 20 to 30 p. a few thi
