The importance of financial assistance, but what concerns me is while we zid to death and thus do not provide them the means which with to defend themselves and artillery a attacks, the positions in the eastern rebel held region and last point is countries around the world are watching how reliable a friend we are. And im concerned that this has tremendous detrimental effects encouraging putins aggression and discouraging countries from being friends in the United States because were sitting here providing a few blankets.

While eeoc protection take shape and agencies issue guidance it will take time for employers and employees to recognize the
