UPDATED (8/4/017): The Kurds Are America’s Friends, Not Turkey’s Erdogan

Foreign Policy, IMMIGRATION, Middle East

And this is what transpires when American elites import the world, its factions and fights. (Via The Guardian, because the American Moron Media are news-averse.)

Nine people were hurt and two arrests were made during an altercation at the Turkish ambassador’s residence in the US capital during a visit by Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an.
According to witnesses, a brawl erupted when Erdo?an’s security detail attacked protesters carrying the flag of the Kurdish PYD party outside the residence. A local NBC television affiliate reported Erdo?an was inside the building at the time.
Erdo?an’s referendum victory spells the end of Turkey as we know it.
Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said the altercation broke out between two groups but he didn’t elaborate on the circumstances. He said two people were arrested, including one who was charged with assaulting a police officer.
“All of the sudden they just ran towards us,” Yazidi Kurd demonstrator Lucy Usoyan told ABC, adding that she was attacked by a pro-Erdo?an supporter. ..

Still and all, the Kurds are America’s friends, not the Turks. That is if Deep State America can be a friend to any nation.

The moron media had also failed to tell Americans that “Trump agreed to arm the Kurds in [what is a] hugely significant move for Syria.”

UPDATE (8/4/017): “Kurdish PM: Kurds Have ‘Completely Lost Hope’ in Iraq.“

‘I Did Not Reveal THAT Information.’ Hope POTUS Avoids Those Words.

Donald Trump, Foreign Policy, Intelligence, Islam, Russia

“The story as reported is not true,” barked National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster. He was responding to Washington Post allegations that Trump was indiscreet during a meeting with Russian diplomats, last week:

During the May 10 meeting at the White House with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak, Trump began describing details about an Islamic State terror threat related to the use of laptop computers on aircraft, according to current and former U.S. officials.

Let’s hope POTUS avoids saying, “I did not reveal THAT Information.” Shades of the wording in another scandal.

But frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. Here’s a president who ran on a domestic platform, but who is currently preoccupied with menacing the madman in North Korea and hassling a Muslim moderate in Syria. (Did you know that the reformers and the moderates come from the ranks of the Shiite and Sufi, and that Assad, an Alawite, is Shia?)

Traitorous Media Make Trump Diplomacy Sound Like Treason

Christianity, Foreign Policy, Russia

He ran on a platform of diplomacy with Russia. President Trump echoed what to most sane Americans seems intuitive. Quibble all you can about the merits of a close relations with Turkey (which we pursue and pacify to the detriment of true friends, the Kurds). But Russia? Diplomacy with Russia is a net good. Trading with or talking to Russia is good for the people of both countries.

But not to the filthy MSM. The meme circulated by MSM, to the effect Trump has untoward ties with Russia, now serves to cast every Trump attempt at diplomacy as high treason.

Putin is an ally against ISIS. More than that, Russia NOW is a civilizational ally. To wit, Putin vowed, in 2012, to actively assist the Christians of the Middle East. On the other hand, when our president attempted in his original travel ban, RIP, to privilege persecuted Christian; the lawyers in his own country refused to allow it. Justice a la America.

The USA claims to be “God’s Own Country.” But it is in Russia that is enjoying “a mighty revival of the Orthodox Christian faith while the West is abandoning its Christian identity.”

Eager to get on with an agenda he promised, “President Donald Trump hosted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak at the White House Wednesday.”

But all the Media Idiocracy can see is “the swirling investigation of Russian contacts with Trump campaign and transition officials in 2016 and Tuesday’s firing of FBI Director James Comey, who was handling the probe.” (CNN)

Here’s What Korean War Number II Would Look Like, Donald Trump

America, Donald Trump, Foreign Policy, Military, War

How insane is it to threaten Korean War Number II! Unlike Chucky Krauthammer and Ivanka, the great, grizzled journalist Eric Margolis knows what it’ll look like. Why he’s even been to North Korea. Come to think of it, Dennis Rodman may know more about Pyongyang and its potentate than Donald Trump and his military mad dogs.

And unlike the idiots surrounding the president, Margolis’ visits to South and North Korea have shown him “that soldiers of both nations are amazingly tough, patriotic and ready to fight. I’ve also been under the Demilitarized Zone in some of the warren of secret tunnels built by North Korea under South Korean fortifications. Hundreds of North Korean long-range 170mm guns and rocket batteries are buried into the hills facing the DMZ, all within range of the northern half of South Korea’s capital, Seoul. North Korea is unlikely to be a pushover in a war”:

… [I]f heavily attacked, a fight-to-the-end North Korea may fire off a number of nuclear-armed medium-range missiles at Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa and South Korea. These missiles are hidden in caves in the mountains on wheeled transporters and hard to identify and knock out.

This is a huge risk. Such a nuclear exchange would expose about a third of the world’s economy to nuclear contamination, not to mention spreading nuclear winter around the globe.

US analysts have in the past estimated a US invasion of North Korea would cost some 250,000 American casualties and at least $10 billion, though I believe such a war would cost four times that much today. The Army, Air Force and Marines would have to mobilize reserves to wage a war in Korea. Already overstretched US forces would have to be withdrawn from Europe and the Mideast. Military conscription might have to be re-introduced.

US war planners believe that an attempt to assassinate or isolate North Korean leader Kim Jung-un – known in the military as ‘decapitation’- would cause the North Korean armed forces to scatter and give up. I don’t think so.

… Even after US/South Korean forces occupy Pyongyang, the North has prepared for a long guerilla war in the mountains that could last for decades. They have been practicing for 30 years. Chaos in North Korea will invite Chinese military intervention, but not necessarily to the advantage of the US and its allies. …
