Kim Jong Uns krigserkläring juli 2016:
"We have decided to make a joint force with the numerous enemies of US. (ibefattad Iran & IS) US has remained in power too long." Det är omöjligt att veta vad som pågår "under cover" mellan makter i konflikt eller i krig. Konflikten med Nord Koreas kärnvapenrusting har pågått i decennier. Det som är nytt är bland annat att USA har fått en president som talar till Kim Jong Un på hans eget språk. Bra eller dåligt? Det genstår att se. Trump har i alla fall fått Kina (mirakulöst?) att genast frysa alla bankförbindelser med Nord Korea.
KAN VÄRLDEN LEVA MED EN VÅLDLIG DIKTATOR MED KÄRNVAPEN?
Nord Korea har avanserat i
utvecklingen av sitt kärnvapenprogram. Är världen snart där att den måste
bestamma om den kan leva med ett Nord Korea med kärnvapen eller inte?
Samtidigt måste man vurdera Iran,
som är nära allierade till Nord Korea, och på väg att skaffa kärmvapen.
Gemensamt har de ett uttalat hat till USA och den västliga världen.
Deras samhandel med militärt
materiell, som missiler, är dokumenterad. Hur ser deras samvärka med kärnvapen
och kärnvapenteknologi ut?
Vi vet också att Nord Korea har
bidragit till en kemisk fabrik i Syrien. Men det är sällan vi hör om dessa
kontakter i nyhetsmedia.
Enligt Kim Jong Uns tal ovan, har
Nord Korea också inledd samarbete med ISIS/ISIL. Det borde inte förundra oss, i
kritiska tider söker man tillsammans på båda sidor i en konflikt.
Frågan är bara hur detta ser ut i
praktiken, och vilka konsekvensar det kan få för oss i väst.
Oavsädd hur man ser på President
Trump, skadar det bara oss själv om västliga ledare och politiska motståndare i
USA bara kritiserar og tar avstånd i från honom.
All kritik mot Trump, matar Kim
Jong Uns självtillit och får Trump att framstå som en svag ledare. Det gagnar
bara antidemokratiska krafter, som Russland. Världsfreden är en hårfin balans.
LUGN I STORMEN
Många människor blir oroade över
konfliktnivån i vår tid. Det finns en som ger lugn i hjärtat, även om det
stormar omkring oss- Bibelens Gud.
Bibelen berättar mycket om det som kommer
hända i yttersta tiden, för att vi skall känna igen det när det sker, och ha
hopp och känna trygghet om att Han snart kommer göra slut på det onda. Känner
du en kristen, så fråga vad det står- det är starkt när det som skrevs för
flera tusen år sedan utspelar sig framför våra ögon.
Vi kan lita på Gud- det är inte
så mycket som känns säkert i dag, men Gud håller alla sina löften. Han är
alltid där.
Det alldrig fel att kolla om det
finns någon Gud, och OM Han finns, ta reda på vad Han vill.
HAN ÄLSKAR DIG OAVSETT
How Kim
rules: What the North Korean leader's unexpected directions for his country
mean for the US, The Christian Science Monitor, Aug 2017
“Kim Jong-un has very grandiose ideas about
himself and North Korea,” Dr. Go says. “He wants to make his country a regional
power, not just survive, and the shortcut to getting there is nuclear weapons.”
The question is what all this means
for the US and the rest of the world. After the recent tart words between Kim
and Mr. Trump, many Americans were wondering, perhaps even half seriously,
whether they should start building fallout shelters in their backyards
again.
Such fears are premature, but
containing North Korea certainly won’t be easy. Kim’s insatiable nuclear
ambitions and compulsion to have Pyongyang taken seriously, coupled with
Trump’s unpredictability and desire to reassert American power, mean the world
may be heading for one of the more fraught periods since the Cuban missile
crisis. At the very least, Kim may have now pushed his country’s nuclear
program to the point where he doesn’t bend either to overtures and pressures
from China or threats from the US.
One of the distinguishing
characteristics of Kim’s regime has been its ability to exploit that
unpredictability for its own benefit. “Being unpredictable gives them a lot of
psychological power. ”It has a long history of issuing threats and ultimatums
that don’t necessarily lead to action but still throw North Korea into the
international spotlight. “Kim Jong-un is playing with fire,” says Go of the
Asan Institute, “but so far he’s been very careful at it.”.
Managing
a Nuclear-Armed North Korea: A Grand Strategy for a Denuclearized and
Peacefully Unified Korea, The ASAN Institute For Policy Studies, Sept 2017
Two parts:
North Korea’s nuclear development is a major
threat to South Korea’s national security and a key obstacle on the path toward
peaceful unification and prosperity for the Korean people. I
t is in South Korea’s vital interest to
denuclearize North Korea completely and irreversibly and achieve unification
through fundamental changes in the North.
South Korea should exercise its full capacity
to realize these two national objectives, denuclearization and peaceful
unification, and the first step is to have a cool-headed grasp of the
situations it faces now.
Seoul should have a full understanding of the
key issues to be encountered in the course of realizing the two objectives.
These include Pyongyang’s position on
unification and nuclear strategy, great power politics in Northeast Asia,
international dynamics on nuclear proliferation, its own ability to achieve the
denuclearization of North Korea, international positions on Korean unification,
and national capacity and societal readiness to accomplish peaceful
unification.
That is, South Korea is required to have a
clear understanding of its own preparedness, North Korea’s intentions and
strategies, and the external environment surrounding the Korean peninsula.
As the ancient Chinese strategist Sun Zu said,
only if we know our enemy and ourselves, can we win every battle.
New
Details of North Korean Spy Radio Messages Emerge, Defence News, July 2016
The station is using old Soviet transmitters that give it a distinctive
humming sound when broadcasting, said Keith Perron, an expert on spy
number stations who runs the international shortwave and FM station, PCJ
Radio, which broadcasts news, entertainment and serves as a relay for
other content.
The hum is created due to the poor quality of transmitters and the fact
that North Korea does not use microwaves to relay the message to the
antennas but rather old telephone wires.

President Trump: Första Tal i FN- First Speech at The United Nations, Sept 19 2017
Transcript of President Trump’s speech
Mr. Secretary General, Mr. President, world
leaders, and distinguished delegates, welcome to New York. It is a profound
honor to stand here in my home city as a representative of the American people
to address the people of the world. As millions of our citizens continue to
suffer the effects of the devastating hurricanes that have struck our country,
I want to begin by expressing my appreciation to every leader in this room who
has offered assistance and aid. The American people are strong and resilient,
and they will emerge from these hardships more determined than ever before.
Fortunately, the United States has done very
well since Election Day last November 8. The stock market is at an all-time
high, a record. Unemployment is at its lowest level in 16 years, and because of
our regulatory and other reforms, we have more people working in the United
States today than ever before. Companies are moving back, creating job growth,
the likes of which our country has not seen in a very long time, and it has
just been announced that we will be spending almost $700 billion on our
military and defense. Our military will soon be the strongest it has ever been.
For more than 70 years, in times of war and peace, the leaders of nations,
movements, and religions have stood before this assembly.
Like them, I intend to address some of the
very serious threats before us today, but also the enormous potential waiting
to be unleashed. We live in a time of extraordinary opportunity. Breakthroughs
in science, technology, and medicine are curing illnesses and solving problems
that prior generations thought impossible to solve. But each day also brings
news of growing dangers that threaten everything we cherish and value.
Terrorists and extremists have gathered strength and spread to every region of
the planet. Rogue regimes represented in this body not only support terror but
threaten other nations and their own people with the most destructive weapons
known to humanity.
Authority and authoritarian powers seek to
collapse the values, the systems, and alliances, that prevented conflict and
tilted the word toward freedom since World War II. International criminal
networks traffic drugs, weapons, people, force dislocation and mass migration,
threaten our borders and new forms of aggression exploit technology to menace
our citizens. To put it simply, we meet at a time of both immense promise and
great peril. It is entirely up to us whether we lift the world to new heights
or let it fall into a valley of disrepair. We have it in our power, should we
so choose, to lift millions from poverty, to help our citizens realize their
dreams, and to ensure that new generations of children are raised free from
violence, hatred, and fear.
This institution was founded in the
aftermath of two world wars, to help shape this better future. It was based on
the vision that diverse nations could cooperate to protect their sovereignty, preserve
their security, and promote their prosperity. It was in the same period exactly
70 years ago that the United States developed the Marshall Plan to help restore
Europe. Those these beautiful pillars, they are pillars of peace, sovereignty,
security, and prosperity. The Marshall Plan was built on the noble idea that
the whole world is safer when nations are strong, independent, and free. As
president, Truman said in his message to congress at that time, our support of
European recovery is in full accord with our support of the United Nations.
The success of the United Nations depends
upon the independent strength of its members. To overcome the perils of the
present, and to achieve the promise of the future, we must begin with the
wisdom of the past. Our success depends on a coalition of strong and
independent nations that embrace their sovereignty, to promote security,
prosperity, and peace, for themselves and for the world. We do not expect
diverse countries to share the same cultures, traditions, or even systems of
government, but we do expect all nations to uphold these two core sovereign
duties, to respect the interests of their own people and the rights of every
other sovereign nation.
This is the beautiful vision of this
institution, and this is the foundation for cooperation and success. Strong
sovereign nations let diverse countries with different values, different
cultures, and different dreams not just coexist, but work side by side on the
basis of mutual respect. Strong sovereign nations let their people take
ownership of the future and control their own destiny. And strong sovereign
nations allow individuals to flourish in the fullness of the life intended by
God. In America, we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather
to let it shine as an example for everyone to watch.
This week gives our country a special reason
to take pride in that example. We are celebrating the 230th anniversary of our
beloved Constitution, the oldest constitution still in use in the world today.
This timeless document has been the foundation of peace, prosperity, and
freedom for the Americans and for countless millions around the globe whose own
countries have found inspiration in its respect for human nature, human
dignity, and the rule of law. The greatest in the united States Constitution is
its first three beautiful words. They are "We the people."
Generations of Americans have sacrificed to maintain the promise of those
words, the promise of our country and of our great history.
In America, the people govern, the people
rule, and the people are sovereign. I was elected not to take power, but to
give power to the American people where it belongs. In foreign affairs, we are
renewing this founding principle of sovereignty. Our government's first duty is
to its people, to our citizens, to serve their needs, to ensure their safety,
to preserve their rights, and to defend their values. As president of the
United States, I will always put America first. Just like you, as the leaders
of your countries, will always and should always put your countries first.
All responsible leaders have an obligation
to serve their own citizens, and the nation state remains the best vehicle for
elevating the human condition. But making a better life for our people also requires
us to with work together in close harmony and unity, to create a more safe and
peaceful future for all people.
The United States will forever be a great
friend to the world and especially to its allies. But we can no longer be taken
advantage of or enter into a one-sided deal where the United States gets
nothing in return. As long as I hold this office, I will defend America's
interests above all else, but in fulfilling our obligations to our nations, we
also realize that it's in everyone's interests to seek the future where all
nations can be sovereign, prosperous, and secure.
America does more than speak for the values
expressed in the United Nations charter. Our citizens have paid the ultimate
price to defend our freedom and the freedom of many nations represented in this
great hall. America's devotion is measured on the battlefields where our young
men and women have fought and sacrificed alongside of our allies. From the
beaches of Europe to the deserts of the Middle East to the jungles of Asia, it
is an eternal credit to the American character that even after we and our
allies emerge victorious from the bloodiest war in history, we did not seek
territorial expansion or attempt to oppose and impose our way of life on
others. Instead, we helped build institutions such as this one to defend the
sovereignty, security, and prosperity for all. For the diverse nations of the
world, this is our hope.
We want harmony and friendship, not conflict
and strife. We are guided by outcomes, not ideologies. We have a policy of
principled realism, rooted in shared goal, interests, and values. That realism
forces us to confront the question facing every leader and nation in this room,
it is a question we cannot escape or avoid. We will slide down the path of
complacency, numb to the challenges, threats, and even wars that we face, or do
we have enough strength and pride to confront those dangers today so that our
citizens can enjoy peace and prosperity tomorrow.
If we desire to lift up our citizens, if we
aspire to the approval of history, then we must fulfill our sovereign duties to
the people we faithfully represent. We must protect our nations, their
interests and their futures. We must reject threats to sovereignty from the
Ukraine to the South China Sea. We must uphold respect for law, respect for
borders, and respect for culture, and the peaceful engagement these allow.
And just as the founders of this body
intended, we must work together and confront together those who threatens us
with chaos, turmoil, and terror. The score of our planet today is small regimes
that violate every principle that the United Nations is based. They respect
neither their own citizens nor the sovereign rights of their countries.
If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph. When decent people and nations become bystanders to history, the forces of destruction only gather power and strength.
No one has shown more contempt for other
nations and for the well-being of their own people than the depraved regime in
North Korea. It is responsible for the starvation deaths of millions of North
Koreans. And for the imprisonment, torture, killing, and oppression of
countless more. We were all witness to the regime's deadly abuse when an
innocent American college student, Otto Warmbier, was returned to America, only
to die a few days later.
We saw it in the assassination of the
dictator's brother, using banned nerve agents in an international airport. We
know it kidnapped a sweet 13-year-old Japanese girl from a beach in her own
country, to enslave her as a language tutor for North Korea's spies. If this is
not twisted enough, now North Korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons and
ballistic missiles threatens the entire world with unthinkable loss of human
life. It is an outrage that some nations would not only trade with such a
regime, but would arm, supply, and financially support a country that imperils
the world with nuclear conflict.
No nation on Earth has an interest in seeing
this band of criminals arm itself with nuclear weapons and missiles. The United
States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or
its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. Rocket
man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. The United States
is ready, willing, and able, but hopefully this will not be necessary. That's
what the United Nations is all about. That's what the United Nations is for.
Let's see how they do.
It is time for North Korea to realize that
the denuclearization is its only acceptable future. The United Nations Security
Council recently held two unanimous 15-0 votes adopting hard-hitting
resolutions against North Korea, and I want to thank China and Russia for
joining the vote to impose sanctions, along with all of the other members of
the Security Council. Thank you to all involved. But we must do much more.
It is time for all nations to work together
to isolate the Kim regime until it ceases its hostile behavior. We face this
decision not only in North Korea; it is far past time for the nations of the
world to confront another reckless regime, one that speaks openly of mass
murder, vowing death to America, destruction to Israel, and ruin for many
leaders and nations in this room.
The Iranian government masks a corrupt
dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. It has turned a wealthy
country, with a rich history and culture, into an economically depleted rogue
state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos. The
longest-suffering victims of Iran's leaders are, in fact, its own people.
Rather than use its resources to improve Iranian live, its oil profits go to
fund Hezbollah and other terrorists that kill innocent Muslims and attack their
peaceful Arab and Israeli neighbors.
This wealth, which rightly belongs to Iran's
people, also goes to shore up Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship, fuel Yemen's
civil war, and undermine peace throughout the entire Middle East. We cannot let
a murderous regime continue these destabilizing activities while building
dangerous missiles, and we cannot abide by an agreement if it provides cover
for the eventual construction of a nuclear program. The Iran deal was one of
the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered
into. Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the United States, and I don't
think you've heard the last of it. Believe me.
It is time for the entire world to join us
in demanding that Iran's government end its pursuit of death and destruction.
It is time for the regime to free all Americans and citizens of other nations
that they have unjustly detained. Above all, Iran's government must stop
supporting terrorists, begin serving its own people, and respect the sovereign
rights of its neighbors. The entire world understands that the good people of
Iran want change, and, other than the vast military power of the United States,
that Iran's people are what their leaders fear the most. This is what causes
the regime to restrict internet access, tear down satellite dishes, shoot
unarmed student protesters, and imprison political reformers.
Oppressive regimes cannot endure forever,
and the day will come when the people will face a choice. Will they continue
down the path of poverty, bloodshed, and terror, or will the Iranian people
return to the nation's proud roots as a center of civilization, culture, and
wealth, where their people can be happy and prosperous once again? The Iranian
regime's support for terror is in stark contrast to the recent commitments of
many of its neighbors to fight terrorism and halt its finance, and in Saudi
Arabia early last year, I was greatly honored to address the leaders of more
than 50 Arab and Muslim nations. We agreed that all responsible nations must
work together to confront terrorists and the Islamic extremism that inspires
them.
We will stop radical islamic terrorism
because we cannot allow it to tear up our nation and, indeed, to tear up the
entire world. We must deny the terrorists' safe haven, transit, funding, and
any form of support for their vile and sinister ideology. We must drive them
out of our nation. It is time to expose and hold responsible those countries
whose support and fi — who support and finance terror groups like al-Qaeda,
Hezbollah, the Taliban, and others that slaughter innocent people.
The United States and our allies are working
together throughout the Middle East to crush the loser terrorists and stop the
reemergence of safe havens they use to launch attacks on all of our people.
Last month I announced a new strategy for victory in the fight against this
evil in Afghanistan. From now on, our security interests will dictate the
length and scope of military operation, not arbitrary benchmarks and timetables
set up by politicians. I have also totally changed the rules of engagement in
our fight against the Taliban and other terrorist groups.
In Syria and Iraq, we have made big gains
toward lasting defeat of ISIS. In fact, our country has achieved more against
ISIS in the last eight months than it has in many, many years combined. We seek
the deescalation of the Syrian conflict, and a political solution that honors
the will of the Syrian people. The actions of the criminal regime of Bashar
al-Assad, including the use of chemical weapons against his own citizens, even innocent
children, shock the conscience of every decent person. No society could be safe
if banned chemical weapons are allowed to spread. That is why the United States
carried out a missile strike on the airbase that launched the attack.
We appreciate the efforts of the United
Nations' agencies that are providing vital humanitarian assistance in areas
liberated from ISIS, and we especially thank Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon for
their role in hosting refugees from the Syrian conflict. The United States is a
compassionate nation and has spent billions and billions of dollars in helping
to support this effort. We seek an approach to refugee resettlement that is
designed to help these horribly treated people and which enables their eventual
return to their home countries to be part of the rebuilding process. For the
cost of resettling one refugee in the United States, we can assist more than 10
in their home region.
Out of the goodness of our hearts, we offer
financial assistance to hosting countries in the region and we support recent
agreements of the G20 nations that will seek to host refugees as close to their
home countries as possible. This is the safe, responsible, and humanitarian
approach. For decades the United States has dealt with migration challenges
here in the Western Hemisphere.
We have learned that over the long term,
uncontrolled migration is deeply unfair to both the sending and the receiving
countries. For the sending countries, it reduces domestic pressure to pursue
needed political and economic reform and drains them of the human capital
necessary to motivate and implement those reforms. For the receiving countries,
the substantial costs of uncontrolled migration are born overwhelmingly by
low-income citizens whose concerns are often ignored by both media and
government.
I want to salute the work of the United
Nations in seeking to address the problems that cause people to flee from their
home. The United Nations and African Union led peacekeeping missions to have
invaluable contributions in stabilizing conflict in Africa. The United States
continues to lead the world in humanitarian assistance, including famine
prevention and relief, in South Sudan, Somalia, and northern Nigeria and Yemen.
We have invested in better health and
opportunity all over the world through programs like PEPFAR, which funds AIDS
relief, the President’s Malaria Initiative, the Global Health Security Agenda,
the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery, and the Women Entrepreneur's Finance
Initiative, part of our commitment to empowering women all across the globe.
We also thank — we also thank the secretary
general for recognizing that the United Nations must reform if it is to be an
effective partner in confronting threats to sovereignty, security, and
prosperity. Too often the focus of this organization has not been on results,
but on bureaucracy and process. In some cases, states that seek to subvert this
institution's noble end have hijacked the very systems that are supposed to
advance them. For example, it is a massive source of embarrassment to the
United Nations that some governments with egregious human rights records sit on
the UN Human Rights Council.
The United States is one out of 193
countries in the United Nations, and yet we pay 22 percent of the entire budget
and more. In fact, we pay far more than anybody realizes. The United States
bears an unfair cost burden, but to be fair, if it could actually accomplish
all of its stated goals, especially the goal of peace, this investment would
easily be well worth it. Major portions of the world are in conflict, and some,
in fact, are going to hell, but the powerful people in this room, under the
guidance and auspices of the United Nations, can solve many of these vicious
and complex problems. The American people hope that one day soon the United
Nations can be a much more accountable and effective advocate for human dignity
and freedom around the world.
In the meantime, we believe that no nation
should have to bear a disproportionate share of the burden, militarily or
financially. Nations of the world must take a greater role in promoting secure
and prosperous societies in their own region. That is why in the Western
Hemisphere the United States has stood against the corrupt, destabilizing
regime in Cuba and embraced the enduring dream of the Cuban people to live in
freedom.
My administration recently announced that we
will not lift sanctions on the Cuban government until it makes fundamental
reforms. We have also imposed tough calibrated sanctions on the socialist
Maduro regime in Venezuela, which has brought a once thriving nation to the
brink of total collapse. The socialist dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro has
inflicted terrible pain and suffering on the good people of that country.
This corrupt regime destroyed a prosperous
nation — prosperous nation, by imposing a failed ideology that has produced
poverty and misery everywhere it has been tried. To make matters worse, Maduro
has defied his own people, stealing power from their elected representatives,
to preserve his disastrous rule. The Venezuelan people are starving, and their
country is collapsing. Their democratic institutions are being destroyed. The
situation is completely unacceptable, and we cannot stand by and watch.
As a responsible neighbor and friend, we and
all others have a goal — that goal is to help them regain their freedom,
recover their country, and restore their democracy. I would like to thank
leaders in this room for condemning the regime and providing vital support to
the Venezuelan people. The United States has taken important steps to hold the
regime accountable. We are prepared to take further action if the government of
Venezuela persists on its path to impose authoritarian rule on the Venezuelan
people.
We are fortunate to have incredibly strong
and healthy trade relationships with many of the Latin American countries
gathered here today. Our economic bond forms a critical foundation for
advancing peace and prosperity for all of our people and all of our neighbors.
I ask every country represented here today to be prepared to do more to address
this very real crisis. We call for the full restoration of democracy and
political freedoms in Venezuela. The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism
has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully
implemented.
From the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venezuela,
wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish
and devastation and failure. Those who preach the tenets of these discredited
ideologies only contribute to the continued suffering of the people who live
under these cruel systems. America stands with every person living under a
brutal regime. Our respect for sovereignty is also a call for action. All
people deserve a government that cares for their safety, their interests, and
their well-being, including their prosperity. In America, we seek stronger ties
of business and trade with all nations of goodwill, but this trade must be fair
and it must be reciprocal.
For too long the American people were told
that mammoth, multinational trade deals, unaccountable international tribunals,
and powerful global bureaucracies were the best way to promote their success.
But as those promises flowed, millions of jobs vanished and thousands of
factories disappeared. Others gamed the system and broke the rules, and our
great middle class, once the bedrock of American prosperity, was forgotten and
left behind, but they are forgotten no more and they will never be forgotten
again.
While America will pursue cooperation and
commerce with other nations, we are renewing our commitment to the first duty
of every government, the duty of our citizens. This bond is the source of
America's strength and that of every responsible nation represented here today.
If this organization is to have any hope of successfully confronting the
challenges before us, it will depend, as President Truman said some 70 years
ago, on the independent strength of its members. If we are to embrace
the opportunities of the future and overcome the present dangers together,
there can be no substantive for strong, sovereign, and independent nations,
nations that are rooted in the histories and invested in their destiny, nations
that seek allies to befriend, not enemies to conquer, and most important of
all, nations that are home to men and women who are willing to sacrifice for
their countries, their fellow citizens, and for all that is best in the human
spirit.
In remembering the great victory that led to
this body's founding, we must never forget that those heroes who fought against
evil, also fought for the nations that they love. Patriotism led the Poles to
die to save Poland, the French to fight for a free France, and the Brits to
stand strong for Britain. Today, if we do not invest ourselves, our hearts, our
minds, and our nations, if we will not build strong families, safe communities,
and healthy societies for ourselves, no one can do it for us.
This is the ancient wish of every people and
the deepest yearning that lives inside every sacred soul. So let this be our
mission, and let this be our message to the world. We will fight together,
sacrifice together, and stand together for peace, for freedom, for justice, for
family, for humanity, and for the almighty God who made us all.
Thank you, God
bless you, God bless the nations of the world, and God bless the United States
of America. Thank you very much.
