[John Kerry] We have to acknowledge in all quarters of leadership That the plagues of violent extremism Greed, lust for power, sectarian exploitation Often find their nourishment where governments are fragile And leaders are incompetent or dishonest You need to demand accountability from those potential leaders or existing leaders In Ukraine, under the previous rеgime Official venality and greed triggerеd an international crisis In Syria, Assad was unwilling to respond To the legitimate concerns of young people Who came out in the streets to demonstrate for opportunity For jobs, for education And when their parents were upset that they had been met with thugs The parents went out and demonstrated on behalf of their kids And they were met with guns and bullets Assad turned on his own people with a brutality Delivered the largest humanitarian disaster of our times Literally employing the long-forbidden weapon of mass destruction – gas – Outlawed in World War I Employing it against his own people [Bernie Sanders] We need to ban the use of rubber bullets Tear gas, and pepper spray on protesters We need to make certain that when people go to the street to protest That they are not treated like criminals [John Kerry] In Libya and Yemen The absence of effective governance fueled regional strife In Burundi Disrespect for the constitution has spawned an outbreak of violence In far too many countries, just plain rank corruption - Now, obviously, corruption’s not a new problem Every nation has faced it at one time or another in its development America’s own Founding Fathers knew the threat of corruption all too well Warning of the dangers that it posed to democratic governance But today, corruption has grown at an alarming pace and threatens Global growth, global stability, and indeed the global future [Interviewer] How much money is being sucked out of the Russian economy a year? [Alexei Navalny] Through corruption? I think it's at least something about 50 billion dollars a year [Interviewer] How corrupt do you think is Mr. Vladimir Putin? [Alexei Navalny] He's uh, czar of corruption He's the base of this corruption And he's personally involved in corruption And he's encouraging our officials for corruption Because it's his way of ruling [the] country They're not just corrupt They're involved in murders, in tortures, and raiding businesses, etc etc [Bernie Sanders] We are in the midst of a defining and pivotal moment for our country and our planet And, with so many crises converging upon us simultaneously It is easy for us to become overwhelmed or depressed — Or to even throw up our hands in resignation But my message to you today Is that if there was ever a moment in the history of our country Where despair was not an option This is that time
