Team Trump Will Not Sanction Russian Bonds After All

Posted on by

“The Treasury Department warned in its report to Congress that Russia’s sovereign debt market is too important to sanction without risking global financial turmoil, Bloomberg reported on Friday. That note can be seen as a sign of relief for Russian debt.  The State Department did not hint as to whether the classified portion of its sanctions memo to Congress called for fines against those holding or trading in Russian securities.”

Posted on by

“Without a major event where people pull together, that’s hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event because usually that major event is not a good thing.”

Kissinger: “Pre-Emptive Attack” Against North Korea “Is Strong” Possibility

Posted on by

“Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has said that he agrees with the aggressive statements President Trump has made towards North Korea. The former Secretary of State said that the Trump Administration ‘will hit that fork in the road, and the temptation to deal with it with a pre-emptive attack’ against North Korea ‘is strong, and the argument is rational.'”

Blowback: How ISIS Was Created by the U.S. Invasion of Iraq

Posted on by

“In Iraq, the U.S. morphed from heroic liberators into brutal occupiers within a matter of weeks. In Fallujah, which would later become an ISIS stronghold, U.S. troops opened fire on a crowd of peaceful protesters in April 2003, killing and wounding dozens of Iraqis.  The shootings, the torture, the general chaos, all helped drive thousands of Iraqis from the minority Sunni community into the arms of radical groups led by brutal gangsters, such as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Zarqawi’s Al Qaeda in Iraq, formed in 2004 to fight U.S. troops and their local allies, was a precursor organization to … ISIS.”

Media reports US stealth bombers in Guam preparing for nuclear strike

Posted on by

“Not only will the B-61’s new modification make it ideal for destroying dug-in bunkers, the kind in which North Korean leader Kim Jong Un might hide during a conflict, but it has an adjustable nuclear yield that could limit harmful radioactive fallout after a nuclear attack.”

Trump Nuke Plan Resets the Doomsday Clock

Posted on by

“The 2018 NPR eschews traditional nuclear disarmament pathways in favor of a more aggressive posture that seeks to make nuclear weapons more accessible to American policymakers when formulating deterrence.  The possibility of a tit-for-tat exchange of cyberattacks that escalates into a nuclear conflict would previously have been dismissed out of hand; today, thanks to the 2018 NPR, it has entered the realm of the possible.”

By reversing policy in Syria, the US is fuelling more wars in the Middle East

Posted on by

“It was a bad moment for the US to stir the pot by saying it would stay in Syria and target Assad and Iran. A Kurdish-Turkish war in northern Syria will be a very fierce one. The US obsession with an exaggerated Iranian threat – about which, in any case, it cannot do much – makes it difficult for Washington to mediate and cool down the situation. Trump and his chaotic administration have not yet had to deal with a real Middle East crisis yet and the events of the last week suggest that they will not be able to do so.”

American Paths, Chosen and Not (1989-2018)

Posted on by

“If I were to pick a single decision by an American president and his team in this century as our own August 1914, I would choose the invasion of Iraq in the spring of 2003. Of course, in that era of the ‘sole superpower,’ there were no other great powers (as in the World War I moment) ready to leap into the fray, so the unraveling that followed across a significant part of the planet would prove not to be a world war but a one-power hell on Earth. And it’s continued to unfold over nearly a decade and a half.”

Pat Buchanan: Too Many Wars. Too Many Enemies.

Posted on by

“Like the Romans, we have become an empire, committed to fight for scores of nations, with troops on every continent, and forces in combat operations of which the American people are only vaguely aware.  As in all empires, power is passing to the generals.  And what causes the greatest angst today in the imperial city?  Fear that a four-page memo worked up in the House Judiciary Committee may discredit Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russia-gate.”
