I will return to the proposed Bill for a moment. It provides for peacekeeping, conflict prevention and strengthening international security. As I understand it, I hear what Donald Trump says and the Russians would say they are strengthening their international security by what they are doing wrongly in Ukraine. Israel would say it is strengthening security by blasting the middle out of Tehran and levelling Gaza. Would Mr. Power agree that is a pretty broad definition?
