Besides having absolutely no reason to be there, getting out of Afghanistan is an ideal way to stick it the Russians, Chinese and Iranians.

Iran, China sign landmark 25-year cooperation agreement

 

“Relations between the two countries have now reached the level of strategic partnership and China seeks to comprehensively improve relations with Iran,” China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi was quoted by Iran’s state media as telling his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.

 

“Our relations with Iran will not be affected by the current situation, but will be permanent and strategic,” Wang said ahead of the televised signing ceremony.

 

“Iran decides independently on its relations with other countries and is not like some countries that change their position with one phone call,” he said.

 

Wang met President Hassan Rouhani ahead of the signing of the agreement in Tehran, which is expected to include Chinese investments in key sectors such as energy and infrastructure.

This all just didn't happen overnight.  But it did take most people a long time to figure out we're screwed here already and its too late to reverse the course.

 

So maybe the architects of the China "most favored nation" designation back 30+ years ago could explain to us all what they were thinking at the time?  Did they not foresee any of this?  Assisting a communist and dictatorial regime with favors. 

In the process businesses and whole industries were shipped off to China from all over the country resulting in a loss of jobs and communities in thousands of small towns and cities.  But it did give us "every day low prices" for all the crap we consume that's made in China.

Or failure to enforce IP laws and restrictions per international law and trade deals along with forced joint venture arrangements.

Or sending trillions in funds to China by way of the US trade deficit.

Or a general trend in US foreign relations favoring coercion, sanctions, and consequences for non-compliance with US direction vs. cooperation and mutual benefit.

 

China was playing the "long game" while our leadership has been focused on diversity while sitting clueless as our country is strip mined of assets and productive capacity.  To be certain, a world led by China will care not one bit abut diversity or what pronoun somebody wishes to be address by.

Pentagon could open itself to costly litigation from contractors if US pulls out of Afghanistan this year

 

Despite the signing of the Doha agreement last February that called for a full drawdown of US troops and personnel from Afghanistan by May 1, the Department of Defense issued nearly a billion dollars in contracts to 17 different companies related to work in Afghanistan past the withdrawal date. There are currently some 18,000 contractors in the country, of which 6,350 are American citizens.

 

With the deadline rapidly approaching and no formal decision from the White House, the future of the contracts, some of which have completion dates in 2023 and beyond, remains unclear, but the Pentagon could potentially have to pay hundreds of millions in settlements or face years of litigation if the US pulls out of the country on schedule or by the end of the year as President Joe Biden suggested is likely.

Its events with Ukraine that have gotten my attention.  Since taking over the Biden administration has been transferring a large amount of weapons and equipment to the country.  And Biden and the State Dept. have not been shy on expressing their intentions to bring Ukraine into NATO as part of the effort to encircle and contain Russian plans to expand influence over Europe and the Middle East.  On March 24th President Zelensky signed a decree, which is similar to an executive order here, declaring the desire to retake Crimea.  Hostilities have also increased in the east of the country where "rebel" forces exert some control.  Internationally, this is being seen as Zelensky given the "green light" by the US administration. 

This week Russia moved tanks, aircraft, and large troop contingents to the border between the two countries and into Crimea.  None of this has really shown up in the MSM but my suspicions are it will very soon.  The global concern when war breaks out is this will escalate beyond a regional conflict and result in direct confrontation between US and Russian forces? And where it might spread to?  The Middle East, Asia with Taiwan and Korea, war in Europe, potential to escalate into a nuclear exchange.  Bad things like these.

Most likely all of this would have happened in 2017 if Clinton had won the election.  But she didn't.  Trump never warmed up relations with Russia but he didn't escalate them much either.  The Russian collusion narrative was really all about trying to associate Trump's administration with Russia and Putin to make it impossible to improve relations and de-escalate tensions between the two countries.  Tensions and plans which were established by neo-con and neo-liberal war advocates earlier under Bush/Obama.  The Mueller investigation provided cover here.   And when Trump dared to mess with Biden and the Ukraine connection, looking to engage the government their to investigate the connection, the deep state war machine had to act as their most vital interest and plan was being threatened.  They had much more to hide than just some payoffs and bribes involving the former VP.

Report: Biden Quietly Hands Over At Least $60 Million To Palestinians

AMERICA IS BACK?

 

Democratic politicians and their press adjunct are promoting the absurd idea that “America is back!” As though we had gone away during the Trump years, when American interests were pursued aggressively, successfully and peacefully–a pretty good combination. What is actually happening now is that we have a senile president surrounded by leftists who have no interest in defending American interests or American allies. Hostile powers are moving to fill the vacuum.

 

The London Times has a sobering account of China’s designs on Taiwan: “With Hong Kong subdued, Xi’s gaze turns to defiant Taiwan.”

 

China is ratcheting up military pressure on Taiwan, probing the air defences of the self-governed island on a near-daily basis amid fears of impending conflict.

According to Taiwan’s ministry of national defence, Chinese planes, sometimes in large numbers, entered the zone at least 18 times last month, 17 times in February and 27 times in January.
***
 

China’s constant flexing of its military muscle around the island is part of an intensifying five-year campaign under President Xi, who has vowed to annex Taiwan, if necessary by force, by 2050.

 

…Under Xi, the campaign to return [Taiwan] to the fold has moved beyond rhetoric and is a tenet of his leadership.

 

The role of the U.S. is crucial:

 

As well as trying to sap Taiwan’s appetite for a fight, the incursions are a message to the United States. Washington is obliged to equip Taiwan militarily under a defence pact but whether an American president would send US forces to defend the island has always been uncertain. It is an ambiguity that in the past has helped to serve as a deterrent to Chinese aggression. Xi appears willing to test this.

 

Joe Biden is widely suspected of being in China’s pocket as a result of his own corrupt dealings. But more charitably we can say that, apart from any such corrupt influence, we have a feeble president surrounded by leftists with little interest in national security issues. So China’s aggressiveness is perhaps over-determined.

Russian 'troop build-up' near Ukraine alarms Nato

 

Russia has warned Nato against sending any troops to help Ukraine, amid reports of a large Russian military build-up on its borders.

 

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would take "additional measures" if Nato were to make such a move.

US forces in Europe are now on higher alert, citing "escalations of Russian aggression" in the area.

 

Allies share their concerns about Russia's recent large-scale military activities in and around Ukraine," the official said.

The narrative of Putin puppet doesn’t add up. Why didn’t Russia just take Ukraine then, his asset would’ve allowed it, right? 
 

Meanwhile China is really ratcheting up hostilities in the South China Sea, Taiwan is growing more concerned invasion plans are in the works, they made an interesting move sort of  ‘deputizing’ hundreds of fishing vessels that have anchored off of the coast of Taiwan.

We may evolved more than you think. There’s been hardly any major territorial shifts over the last century. The only significant one was the breakup of the Soviet Union and that happened without any substantial conflict or bloodshed. Yes, there’ve been some small border squabbles but that’s about it. As much as nobody likes to admit it, the nuclear threat has put an end to the vast majority of it.

In a little-noticed story that broke on Friday night, it was reported that Jennifer Davis, Chief of Staff to UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has been reassigned because her security clearance was revoked.

 

According to the Politico article, Davis is a career foreign service officer, having worked for 18 years in the State Department with previous assignments in Mexico, Turkey, and Columbia.

Quote

 

 

The decision to revoke Davis’s clearance came after a three-year administrative investigation conducted by the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which conducts security background investigations to assess whether an individual should have access to classified information.

 

 

According to Politico, the issue involves an interview Davis gave to a reporter Amberin Zaman of the Middle Eastern-focused news outlet Al-Monitor.

Withdrawal From Afghanistan Timed to Humiliate US

by Michael Walsh

 

As if there were any doubts about the animosity directed by the Left against the United States of America, President Joe Biden’s announcement that all American troops will be withdrawn from George W. Bush’s ill-conceived and thoroughly wasteful war in Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021 finally ought to dispel them. Think they picked that date out of a hat? Think again. Thanks to Biden’s absurdly long position at the D.C. trough (he was first elected to the Senate in 1972), this president will now have the distinction of being in Washington for two of America’s greatest defeats

Pretty good week for Biden in foreign affairs 

He is holding a global climate conference that has many of the world leaders engaged, including China, Russia and others petro states 

 

On Russia he has had some very notable success. Putin blinked at the Ukraine border, pulling back 100,000 troops that had been stationed there in a threatening manner. Typical dictator threat of war when things were unraveling at home. And Putin main political rival  was allowed out of jail and sent to a hospital for treatment so that Putin could not slowly murder him. Protests are raging across Russia calling for the end for his kleptocratic rule. Seems, even the Trump model of corrupt government is under challenge in Russia 

 

Thinking of the moment Chauvin was led away in handcuffs, wouldn't it be great to see Putin and Trump led away like that?

Guatemalan families bury loved ones killed near US-Mexico border

Guatemala’s president is calling for justice after 19 charred bodies were found near US-Mexico border in January.

I believe in a secure border and legal immigration as possible. These poor people are refugees from hurricanes , violence and extreme poverty. The UN should be setting up refugee camps in their countries to care for and protect them. There has to be a more humane way to help these people.

Amazing. 
 

It takes a rudimentary understanding of cartels and human nature to imagine the horrors that individuals have faced at the southern border for decades.  It really takes 19 bodies in 2021 to see the tragedy?  This is a drop in the bucket.  
 

The UN sees these people as disposable.  The US government over the past 5 decades sees the suffering as irrelevant.  A large segment of the American population sent a loud and clear message about the relative worth of the victims by sending Biden—a guffawing douche in his twilight years who enriched himself all along the way—-to the White House.
