and why they probably won’t On Sunday morning 5 January 2020, the great investigative journalist and geostrategist Bernhard Horstmann headlined “Iraqi Parliament Expels Foreign Militaries From Iraq” and he reported that not only the parliament but also the nation’s Prime Minister (Abdel Mahdi) are demanding departure from Iraq of all foreign military forces, and that Iraq will now — as UAE’s The National puts it — “lodge an official complaint against the US at the UN.” The complaint will “condemn #US airstrikes on #Iraqi soil targeting Iraqi soldiers and both Iraqi and #Iranian military leaders.” (U.S.-and-allied ...

Trump-Pompeo foreign policy is not only incoherent, it is insane President Bill Clinton once launched a mini-cruise-missile-war on targets in Sudan and Afghanistan to serve as a distraction from the Monica Lewinski scandal. It must be considered that Donald Trump might be doing something similar within the context of his currently ongoing impeachment crisis, but the back story to the two developments is somewhat different. Clinton may have been a serial philanderer but he appears to have had no particular animus against either the Sudanese or the Afghans. Donald Trump, however, has expressed unrelenting hostility against Iran since the time when he took office. One of his first acts was ...

How Trump’s Decision To Kill Soleimani Unfolded Mark Hale January 5, 2020 Multiple similar accounts have now come out over the inside the Situation Room decision-making process concerning the risky move to take out the IRGC’s Gen. Qasem Soleimani, as well as how the drone attack operation played out at the airport. By all accounts, as Soleimani traveled to and through Baghdad airport US intelligence seized upon the “target of opportunity” and moved fast to brief President Trump, who was at Mar-a-Lago. Defense sources explained to Bloomberg that Soleimani wasn’t being monitored before it was known he was coming through Baghdad’s international ...

Michael Hudson: US Risks Annihilation To Keep Dollar Alive

Hudson recently wrote an article explaining why US Bankers were willing to assassinate Iran's General Soleimani in order to keep the US Dollar as a world reserve currency. That is to say that they are willing to risk WW III because they want to buy trillions of dollars of things for free from foreigners by defrauding them with I Owe You Nothing Federal Reserve Notes. Let's go back to 1972 when Dr Hudson published Super Imperialism in which he said the US was paying for its wars and military occupations by printing dollars. Hudson was invited to speak at the State Department and the Pentagon. The diplomats liked him, understood him and voiced no objections to the policy of papering ...

US Officials Say Soleimani Was Planning Attacks On Diplomatic Targets In Syria, Lebanon January 5, 2020 12:27 pm Top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani was plotting to attack American military, diplomatic and financial targets in Syria and Lebanon, and comprised the imminent threat used to justify Soleimani’s killing, according to NBC News, citing multiple US officials. “When we start seeing extensive and very solid intelligence that [Soleimani] is plotting imminent attacks against the United States, the president as commander in chief has a duty to take decisive action,” said a senior State Department official, adding “If we had not taken this action, and ...
Soleimani Was In Baghdad On Peace Mission To De-Escalate With Saudis: Report

In the post-2003 Iraq invasion world based on fake WMD claims, any US official claims based on unspecified "intelligence assessments" should be treated with deep skepticism if not outright rejection. For this reason, many rightly immediately questioned the official Trump administration narrative that Qasem Soleimani was in Baghdad on the night of his death by US drone strike in order to organize more attacks on Americans and US interests. This key claim served as the White House's post hoc justification for killing the top Iranian general. And now it has emerged that the slain IRGC Quds Force chief had arrived at Baghdad airport last Thursday night as part of ongoing ...

The mainstream media are carefully sidestepping the method behind America’s seeming madness in assassinating Islamic Revolutionary Guard general Qassim Suleimani to start the New Year. The logic behind the assassination this was a long-standing application of U.S. global policy, not just a personality quirk of Donald Trump’s impulsive action. His assassination of Iranian military leader Suleimani was indeed a unilateral act of war in violation of international law, but it was a logical step in a long-standing U.S. strategy. It was explicitly authorized by the Senate in the funding bill for the Pentagon that it passed last year. The assassination was intended to escalate ...

The Heritage Foundation publishes an annual Index of U.S. Military Strength, which assesses capacity, capability and readiness of each of the services, and rates them “very strong,” “strong,” “marginal,” “weak” or “very weak”. Based on a broad range of personnel issues; degradation of our forces and equipment from long-term involvement in the Middle East; our inability to adequately maintain and upgrade our current inventory of aircraft and warships … with reliability; and, in some instances, the strategic superiority of our adversaries, our military’s overall rating was “marginal”.

Graham Tells Trump To ‘Crush Iranian Economy’ By Targeting Oil Refineries After Assassination January 5, 2020 Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) says he was briefed on the plan to target Iran’s No. 2 Qassem Soleimani earlier this week, and that he advised President Trump to cripple Iran’s economy by taking out the country’s oil refineries. “I was briefed about the potential operation when I was down in Florida,” said Graham during a Friday interview on Fox & Friends, adding “If I were the president, I would put on the table targets in Iran, not Iraq and Syria. Economic targets that would crush the economy.” Notably, Graham appears to be the only ...
The New York Times Shares My Bafflement Over Donald Trump’s Plans in the Middle East

I don’t usually feel that New York Times headlines represent my feelings on an issue, but when I do, they’re written by the right-wing radical anti-Semite Max Fisher. Truly, no one does know. And it is so confusing that it almost has induced a form of insanity in a lot of people who have genuinely tried to figure it out. A day after the assassination, I wrote an article entitled “I Don’t Even Know What is Going On, lol.” I feel the same way today, but worse. Not having a war doesn’t seem to be the strategy – you don’t really assassinate a country’s number two official if you’re not trying to start a war with them – but nothing is ...

As it turns out, President Trump's decision to kill Iranian General and revolutionary icon Qasem Suleimani - an attack that millions of Trump's critics warned could start WWIII - might have given the US exactly the cover it needs to pull out of Iraq, once and for all. In a letter from Marine Corps Brig. Gen. William H. Seely III, obtained by AFP whose authenticity has since been confirmed by both US and Iraqi defense officials, the US Army informed Iraq that it is "preparing for onward movement" out of respect for Iraq's "sovereign decision to order our departure." sLTG Abdul Amir Deputy Director, Combined Joint Operations Baghdad Iraq - Ministry of ...

Following a vote by the Iraqi parliament to remove foreign troops from the nation, the US president threatened to destroy Iraq’s economy in retaliation and to refuse to leave unless an expensive military base worth billions of dollars was paid for. “If they do ask us to leave, if we don’t do it in a very friendly basis,” Trump told the press on Sunday. “We will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame. If there’s any hostility, that they do anything we think is inappropriate, we are going to put sanctions on Iraq, very big sanctions on Iraq.” “We have a very ...

CIA and Mossad support ISIL and Boko Haram, says Sudanese president al-Bashir (interview extract) Martha Bulus, a Nigerian Catholic woman, was going to her bridal party when she was abducted by Islamic extremists of Boko Haram. Martha and her companions were beheaded and their execution filmed. The video of the brutal murders of these 11 Christians was released on December 26 to coincide with Christmas celebrations. It is reminiscent of the images of other Christians dressed in orange jumpsuits bent on their knees on a beach, each being held by a masked, black-clad jihadist holding a knife at their throats. Their bodies were discovered in a mass grave in Libya. On the scale of ...

Somalians are more terroristic and have less freedoms, human rights and democracy than Iran. But for some reason, no one is up in arms about Somalian influence in Kenya. So, three Americans dead at the hands of Sunni Islamics. AP: Al-Shabab extremists overran a key military base used by U.S. counterterror forces in Kenya before dawn Sunday, killing three American Department of Defense personnel and destroying several U.S. aircraft and vehicles before they were repelled, U.S. and Kenyan authorities said. The attack on the Manda Bay Airfield was the al-Qaida-linked group’s first attack against U.S. forces in the East African country, and the military called the security situation ...
