Has to give, to authorize to use this right . And this is what we have to discuss. The most simple answer would be the u. N. Security council. But sometimes u. N. Security council is not very active with taking urgent measure. Thats why i dont think that you have to speculate that it can continue to [inaudible] to other countries. I suppose that in baltic countries there will be no such violation as what is having in donesk and lugansk. And which violation are you talking about . Killing people, innocent people. Children. But do you know how many people were killed in those two places . Well, ive seen figures of 3,000 before. Yeah. Around 3,000. Destroyed houses and destroyed infrastructure. We think that this is humanitarian catastrophe now. Right. But if you i know were in theoretical territory here, but this principle of russia i remember, i remember, i remember in kosovo, i was there, how many people were killed there as protect to use military force of nato. You cannot compare wha
The house of representatives and shared in many cases with many different senators has been stopped by harry reid. Unless you stop him, the same thing is going to go on. Because the president has indicated this is a referendum on his policies and his programs nd his legacy. If you look at his legacy, you will see this guy is a liberal democrat. I dont know you cant come clean about it and just be proud that you are a liberal democrat. The senate suggested i voted for harry reid. I want everyone to know, i didnt commit voter fraud. I didnt go to nevada and vote in that election. The senator also talks about contributions. Some of the contributions hes failed to talk about are my contributions to republicans. I actually gave money to scott brown in massachusetts in 2010 precisely because he was the vote that was supposed to prevent the Affordable Care act from becoming law. Thats why i made that contribution. Ive said from the beginning that i think the Affordable Care act expanded a pro
Really price any further. The argument that i would make is one of effect it has and that is drowns in yemen despite the Obama Administrations rhetoric to disrupt, dismantle and defeat al qaeda, that its not drowns or airstrikes that are driving. It is civilian casualties. Its the individuals being killed along with the al qaeda targets. When i was in yemen, i was talking to someone whos very, very close to al qaeda he said look, you know, theres a difference between yemen and afghanistan and yemen and afghanistan are arabs and a knock at the country. In yemen archenemies in yemen. They move around much easier than they did. They can be a member of al qaeda and can be no locally. Maybe some people known them as he tribesmen another see the u. S. , for instance you would see them as an al qaeda member. The u. S. Thinks its killing an al qaeda member and maybe it is. But hes been a killed on the ground and yemenis seen being killed is in fact the tribesman. This is a challenge that the u
A day else a portion of the sheriff shared lending to small and microbusinesses. Because of that 4 billiondollar investment in 332 institutions across the Country Community banks or cdfi loan funds, we have seen positive returns for taxpayers so this is no cost to the taxpayer and we are also seeing that lending has increased by more than 10 billion so we take that 4 billion investment. As a result the institutions have loaned more than 10 million above and beyond the lending that they were doing beforehand. What that actually turns into is around 41,000 new loans to Small Businesses. It also means that of those loans, i think we are somewhere around 65 or 70 of those loans were below 100,000, so these are actually loans that are going to the smallest of Small Businesses, not midsize businesses that getting the businesses that are going to be the job creators and are the job creators. We also invested through another program called the state smallbusiness Credit Initiative 1. 5 billion
