Samantha Power Zitate

Influence is best measured not only by military hardware and GDP, but also by other people's perceptions that we, the United States, are using our power legitimately. That belief - that we are acting in the interests of the global commons and in accordance with the rule of law - is what the military would call a 'force multiplier.'

Deutsche Übersetzung

Einfluss wird am besten nicht nur an militärischer Hardware und dem BIP gemessen, sondern auch an der Wahrnehmung anderer Menschen, dass wir, die Vereinigten Staaten, unsere Macht legitim einsetzen. Diese Überzeugung, dass wir im Interesse der globalen Commons und in Übereinstimmung mit der Rechtsstaatlichkeit handeln, ist das, was das Militär als "Kraftmultiplikator" bezeichnen würde.

What we have to remember is we want to utilize the tremendous intellect that we have in the military to win wars. I've talked to a lot of the generals, a lot of our advanced people. And believe me, if we gave them the mission, which is what the commander-in-chief does, they would be able to carry it out.

We all should be proud of the United States. For those of us that came from the Dominican, we've been able to come here, work, make money and become somebody in our lives. We've gotten a huge opportunity from the U.S.
