coming in from free port, the islands out there. i know it s not your jurisdiction. you re more concerned about the united states right now. as you watch the video coming in from there, what s your assessment? how soon will it be before assistance can get in there? you know, first and foremost, my heart prayers go out to the bahamas. they re going to have a definite impact. i can imagine there s going to be an infrastructure loss, home loss. hpefully there s not a large loss of life. so, you know, first and foremost as a human, as a christian my heart goes out for that. secondly as an emergency manager, you know, you ve got to start looking at what are those things that can rabidly stabilize a situation? you know, medical needs, power, water, food, you know, all those
a bigger threat? i think they both are, and i d hate to say one is more critical than the other. i mean these kinds of conventional and nuclear capabilities really do have existential potential outcomes in terms of the damage that they can do and the lives and infrastructure loss. but just as equally scary and dangerous is the cyber realm, and all these three nations you re talking, russia, china, and the united states as well as north korea and iran are all working very hard in the cyberspace realm as well. the united states has taken it seriously now for many, many years. you know, the trump national security strategy and national defense strategy for the first time really explored this notion of potential offensive cyber capabilities, which was a real turn for us. we hadn t been willing to talk openly about our own ability to conduct offensive cyber operations. so i think everything is moving in this direction. and trump s decision to set up a space force, whether you agree with i
surroundings for them, shelter, food and water that is going to require not just their domestic capabilities but probably the international community as well. sean: as we look at these images and the devastation not only from the quake but the tsunami and literally, wiping out an entire entire communities. it doesn t seem as we ve seen these images that they ve had an opportunity to dig under that rubble in a lot of areas that have been hit. no, i don t think they have. a lot of the areas are tough to get to because of the infrastructure loss that is something that is going to exacerbate this problem for weeks ahead. you have to focus on the survivors as well this is something that is going on for weeks and months. they have to find shelter for hundreds of thousands of people on at least a temporary or long term basis. the same thing we saw in the united states with katrina. it is not something they will solve overnight.
