World War 3: New Trump Secretary of State promises USA SOLUTION to Russian AGGRESSION
DONALD Trump's new Secretary of State Mike Pompeo immediately launched himself into his
role by promising the US and Nato will find solutions to counter Russian aggression.
Mike Pompeo, a former Army officer who was a Republican congressman, referred to his
time as a soldier in the Cold War when talking about modern threats that Russia pose the
west amid rising fears of World War 3.
Recalling the Cold War he said: "We talked a lot about that, the changing nature of the
threat from Russia.
"When I was a young soldier it was T-60 tanks and T-72 tanks rolling across the then
East German plane.
"Today is different and we together, including Nato, must come up with solutions to counter
that.
"There were a lot of ideas, an enormous consensus of the risk Russia poses to the West.
"There is a real commitment to work together to mitigate those risks and deter them."
In a day of closed-door meetings with NATO foreign ministers, Pompeo appeared to charm
European allies with tough talk on Russia and a more sure-footed approach than his predecessor
Rex Tillerson, but he still carried Trump's familiar demand for higher defence spending.
He also made no promises about whether his boss would stick to a 2015 accord to stop
Iran developing a nuclear bomb, warning instead that Trump was still likely to pull out without
major changes to a deal that Europeans insist cannot be reopened.
Pompey continued: "There's been no decision, so the team is working and I am sure we will
have lots of conversations to deliver what the president has made clear.
"Absent a substantial fix, absent overcoming the flaws of the deal, he is unlikely to stay
in that deal."
The new US Secretary of State is regarded as a loyal supporter of Trump with hawkish
views.
However, on Russia those views are largely shared by European allies because of Moscow's
seizure of Crimea.
Nato allies believe the alliance needs to respond to what the West says is the Kremlin's
mix of not just the conventional military threat but covert and cyber warfare.
Pompeo was asked if Germany was doing enough to reach a Nato target for member countries
to spend two per cent of economic output on defence annually.
He said: "No...Germany should meet the goals that they agreed to...that's the expectation,
not only for Germany but for everyone.
We're hopeful that at the Nato summit that every Nato partner will deliver a credible
plan to achieve that goal."
Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, said: "Pompeo's long and valid experience including
serving as a soldier in Germany during the Cold War provides him with the perfect background
for being the top diplomat of the US."

Fanon Mendès-France on Race & Islam in Europe & US - 2/2 - Duration: 8:28.
Critical Voices in Critical Times
An Interview with Mireille Fanon Mendes France
on race, Islam, social transformation
Are Muslims in France becoming racialized in a way similar to people of African descent?
-They try to change the narrative of the structural racism
saying there is no more structural racism
"We are not racist."
But at all levels of society there is an expression of structural racism
And they try to deny that be inventing a new category of "metisse" people.
metisse means half-breed, metissage is crossbreeding
Even if is they agree to say all of us are coming from Africa, but that's all
Africa does not have culture or traditions
Africans just emerged to the modern world when the colonizers arrived
It's terrible but it's exactly what it is in the minds of the people.
and it's very deeply rooted.
With people of Muslim origin it's something different,
because they cannot invent a new category. They are stigmatized regarding their religion.
This Islamophobia is coming from the history of Europe,
and particularly of France.
I remember I was a literature teacher in a school in Paris, in a very close suburb of Paris .
A long time ago, almost 20 years ago.
And if you were aware of who you have in front of you,
you could count that more and more young people with a migrant
or refugee background, were in the classroom.
and of course all these young people grew up.
The profile of the French population changed, totally changed.
And they did not pay attention.
Suddenly the discovered, "Oh my God! We are not anymore, a country with French roots!:
In fact it means white roots, white.
I'm sure here in the Luxenbourg Garden,
If we ask anybody, if we make an inquiry,
I'm sure a lot of them have Muslim or Arab surnames.
They refuse to see that.
Their only concern is to keep the white supremacy intact.
They try to consider these French people because, all of them are French...
Of course, they are born in France...
they can get French citizenship by blood.
And they have their own traditions.
They are coming from outside of France and they have their traditions.
And the French people, the different French governments,
refuse to take into consideration these traditions.
They totally ignore these traditions.
They consider all these people, these French people, not as citizens,
but through their religion.
They don't see the French population other than Christian, white Christian.
With the Eurocentric perspective,
and Eurocentric culture.
They cannot admit that because they are the first in the world.
And they refused to see this change and now they're surprised
Because all these people are there, they want their place.
They want work, they want to have fun, they want to buy, they want to live!
The person of Muslim origin is targeted as the enemy.
And for that they have a very good reason, terrorism.
But the don't want to ask who is building the terrorism, and for what?
They cannot breath in this country.
They cannot live, they are not allowed to live.
Do you see parallels between the situation of Muslims in France and African Americans in the United States?
We could make some parallels but not completely.
Because the situation for African-American, and I know the situation pretty well...
the working group of People of African Descent of the UN made a country visit...
The situation is really more violent and difficult in the U.S.
Of course we have police violence here...
We have the death of young people, but not at the same level.
We don't have Jim Crow, we never had segregation.
I read the book by Michelle Alexander, "The New Jim Crow"
We don't have such laws.
Of course we have some laws affecting parts of the society, but not at the level as the U.S.
It's absolutely terrible.
In the U.S. there is really institutional violence against African Americans
Here, we cannot say that.
Of course, when they wee a black person in the street they are suspicious.
But they don't arrest systematically.
But of course, it's not a reason to not try to build international movements,
If we don't defeat the racial racialism, and therefore the structural racism,
we will never get the opportunity for social transformation.
Because it is the basis of the system
Your late father-in-law the politician Pierre Mendes France, has a statue here in the Luxenbourg Garden. Can you show us?
He was a real socialist.
Not like the socialists are now.
He was shorter than me.
You see, Pierre Mendes France

Lathan Watts - Jefferon's Separation of Church and State - Duration: 5:02.
You've probably heard it many times: Someone wagging a finger and going on about the "separation
of church and state."
But if Thomas Jefferson were listening in on that conversation, he would definitely
have something to say about how his words were being used – and abused.
Hi, I'm Lathan Watts, Director of Community Relations for First Liberty Institute.
There can be no better way to celebrate one of America's greatest statesmen than by
reclaiming his legacy for religious liberty and living as boldly as he did in freedom's
defense.
It is sadly ironic that a few select words of Jefferson — the "wall of separation
between church and state"— have been abused and distorted today by those seeking to dismantle
the foundations of our republic.
Those words appeared in Jefferson's now infamous letter to the Danbury Baptists, a
religious group in Connecticut concerned with its state government's weak religious liberty
protections.
Shortly following his election to the presidency in 1802, Jefferson wrote:
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God,
that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative
powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign
reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature would
'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and state.
Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights
of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend
to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition
to his social duties.
"Thus building a wall of separation between church and state" is arguably the most abused
phrase in American history.
A parade of anti-faith groups have used this phrase as a call to arms in a never-ending
courtroom assault.
Consider these cases, just a few of the hundreds of legal matters First Liberty Institute engages
in each year.
Two county commissioners — one in Jackson County, Michigan, the other in Rowan County,
North Carolina — regularly open their sessions with an invocation led by one of the commissioners.
In 2013, an individual activist and the ACLU, respectively, sued the commissioners for supposedly
violating the separation of church and state.
But as president, Jefferson not only signed bills which appropriated financial support
for chaplains in Congress and the military, but he himself attended church services held
on the floor of the House of United States Representatives at the U.S. Capitol.
Toni Richardson is an educational technician who works with students with special needs
at a public high school in Augusta, Maine.
In a conversation at school, she told a co-worker and fellow church member, "I'll pray for
you."
Her employer, citing the "separation of church and state," threatened her with disciplinary
action up to termination if she continued using such "unprofessional language."
What would Jefferson think?
As president, Jefferson also served as the chairman of the school board for the District
of Columbia.
There he authored the first plan of education adopted by the city.
His plan used the Bible and Isaac Watts' hymnal as the key books for teaching reading
in their schools
Oscar Rodriguez is a decorated Air Force veteran.
While giving a patriotic flag-folding speech at a retirement ceremony for fellow airman
Chuck Roberson, uniformed airmen assaulted and physically removed Rodriguez from the
room because he dared to mention the word "God" in his speech.
What was Jefferson's approach to the role of religion in the military?
In addition to the bills he signed appropriating funds for chaplains in the military, he also
signed the Articles of War on April 10, 1806, in which he "earnestly recommended to all
officers and soldiers, diligently to attend divine services."
In perhaps his most famous written work, the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson exemplified
his deep commitment to the divine origin of the rights of each individual in the famous
line, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are Life,
Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
In essence, America's "birth certificate," as penned by Jefferson, declares that God
exists, and his existence forms the basis for all personal, political, and economic
rights.
Those who seek to hijack the phrase "separation of church and state" to impose secular humanism
on our political life can only do so by willfully turning a blind eye to the volumes of Jefferson's
other writings, as well as his own actions as president.
Those actions speak louder than any words.
Jefferson's victories for religious freedom are our cherished heritage, and his fight
for liberty is now our fight.
Now is a time for all Americans—religious or not—to stand for our first freedom as
the bedrock upon which all liberty stands.
No better inspiration can be found than Jefferson's own personal seal, which read, "Rebellion
to tyrants is obedience to God."
Those who stand courageously against oppression can do so secure in the knowledge that the
author of the Declaration of Independence — and more importantly, the Author of our
liberty itself — are not neutral in the contest.

Millions Flee Top 3 Democrat States After Donald Drops The SALT Hammer - Duration: 3:01.
Millions Flee Top 3 Democrat States After Donald Drops The SALT Hammer
Yep, democrats are really feeling salty, these days.
Thanks to Donald Trump's dedication, America is winning every day.
There's little the left can do about it.
Oh sure, they whine and moan on CNN.
They invent controversy in the hopes of tripping him up.
But America is seeing how Trump's policies are helping everybody.
Well, maybe not everybody.
There's another kind of SALT that's hurting the dem's.
This SALT has everything to do with Trump's landmark tax bill.
While so many Americans are enjoying the benefits of lower taxes, a few aren't.
Guess where those few live?
You guessed it—liberal-run states.
Now the smart citizens are picking up their stakes and moving to greener pastures.
From Fox News: Over the past decade, about 3.5 million Americans
have relocated from high-tax blue states like California and those in the Northeast, to
low-tax red states like Texas and Arizona — and the change is likely to accelerate…
They say that the Republican Party tax bill's cap on the deduction for state and local taxes
(SALT) could ramp up the pace by which Americans relocate in their own economic interest.
Laffer and Moore estimate that both California and New York will lose on net about 800,000
over the next three years, roughly double from the previous three years, while Connecticut,
New Jersey and Minnesota combined with lose around 500,000 people in the same period.
Democratic holdouts, like California, hit top earners with a whopping 13 percent income
tax.
Up until recently, they've gotten away with it.
High earners could deduct that from their federal taxes so it would even out.
Essentially, liberal states were robbing the federal government of money from rich folks.
While they abused the rich with higher, local taxes.
Nice, I know.
But those deductions have been slashed by the GOP tax bill.
Now successful people living in places like New York, California, and other liberal cesspools
will see their taxes skyrocket.
The vast majority of Americans—over 90 percent—are enjoying a drop in taxes.
Only the richest will suffer.
Not because of the federal government—mind you—but because they are living in greedy,
liberal-controlled regions of America.
That's easily remedied, isn't it?
Many Americans are already fleeing California and New York for other reasons.
With state taxes rising, they have no reason to stay.
With them goes their businesses—and jobs.
Lower income folks will follow, just so they can earn a living.
Is that worth it Gov. Brown?
How about you Gov. Cuomo?
Maybe you guys should consider cutting taxes and actually attracting people to your states.
Oh, that's crazy talk!

US forces could REMAIN in Syria as Donald Trump fails to win backing for 'Arab ARMY' - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:54.
US forces could REMAIN in Syria as Donald Trump fails to win backing for 'Arab ARMY'
DONALD Trump is struggling to gain backing from Arab countries to form an Arab military
force to replace US troops in Syria fighting ISIS, derailing his plans to reduce American
military presence in the region.
Allies including Saudi Arabia are sceptical about sending troops to Syria and contributing
funds in order to stabilise towns and cities liberated from ISIS without US support, according
to senior US officials.
This is particularly the case for countries such as Saudi Arabia which is already engaged
militarily in Yemen.
A senior US official involved in discussions said: "There is no serious appetite in the
region to do that much on the ground.
"One thing is certain: No other military, particularly from the region, will enter Syria
if we are not there in some capacity."
President Trump has previously said: "We have asked our partners to take greater responsibility
for securing their home region, including contributing larger amounts of money."
A US administration official confirmed this statement, saying: "Saudi Arabia, Qatar
and the U.A.E. have all been approached with respect to financial support and more broadly
to contribute."
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel Jubeir also confirmed that his government has been
in discussion with Washington "since the beginning of the Syrian crisis about sending forces
into Syria".
There are currently around 2,000 US troops in eastern Syria who are working alongside
local fighters to defeat localised pockets of ISIS militants in towns and rural strongholds
along the Euphrates River.
President Trump has signalled that he desires US troops to be removed "very soon", despite
fears of Iran's growing influence in the region.
There are concerns that the US may become trapped in Syria's multi-sided civil war
and landed with the job of controlling ISIS in the long term.
But this runs the risk of creating rifts in the Trump administration, as top US officials
are warning the White House that a hasty withdrawal from Syria could repeat the mistakes made
by President Obama when he withdrew forces from Iraq in December 2011.
Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said: "We learned that
the Iraqi forces were incapable of providing security inside the country, and that gave
the enemy an opportunity to resurge.
"That's where, really, ISIS had the space to grow."
Defence Secretary James N. Mattis reaffirmed this statement, stating that the US would
"probably regret" not leaving troops in Syria in order to train local security forces to
prevent the resurgence of ISIS.
He also said: "We have to create local forces that can keep the pressure on any attempt
by ISIS to try to regenerate."
The Pentagon is reportedly developing plans to continue airstrikes and special operations
against ISIS in Syria, while allowing US ground troops to withdraw.
US Officials said this would reassure Arab allies that the US would not leave them unprotected
in the region, and would contribute to the stabilisation of the country despite the withdrawal
of ground troops.

WHILE THE LEADERSHIP OF NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA ARE POTENTIALLY
MOVING TOWARDS PEACE, OR AT LEAST GETTING A LITTLE CLOSER,
THE FAMILY OF OTTO WARMBIER IS ALSO MOVING CLOSER TO SOMETHING
CAN THAT'S THEIR LAWSUIT AGAINST NORTH KOREA --
IF YOU DON'T RECALL THIS STORY --
I WOULD DESCRIBE THAT AS TOO MUCH.
THAT SEEMS A LITTLE OUT OF
CONTROL.
AND IT WENT IN AN EVEN DARKER DIRECTION --
HE WAS EFFECTIVELY ON THE BRINK OF DEATH WHEN THEY
FINALLY RETURNED HIM, AND HE DIED SHORTLY THEREAFTER,
NOW THEY ARE SUING.
IT WAS HORRIFIC.
BLIND, DEAF, I THINK I SAW SOMETHING THAT HIS
PARENTS WERE SEEING HIS TEETH LOOK LIKE THEY HAD BEEN PULLED
OUT AND REARRANGED.
CLEARLY TORTURED.
I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WHO SPENT SOME TIME IN NORTH KOREA AS
CAPTIVES, AND IT'S NOT PRETTY.
WE KNOW THIS GOING INTO IT, WHICH IS WHAT IS SO UPSETTING.
BUT I WAS OBSESSED WITH THIS STORY WHEN IT ALL STARTED
HAPPENING, SO I STARTED DOING RESEARCH INTO THE TOUR GROUP HE
WENT WITH, AND JUST WHY ANYONE WOULD, AND ALL OF THE DRINKING
INVOLVED, AND THIS AND THAT, NONE OF IT MAKES IT OKAY, IT'S
JUST IT WASN'T SURPRISING UNFORTUNATELY THAT THIS IS
HOW IT ENDED.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THOSE THINGS ARE GOING ON, AT LEAST AT
THIS POINT, MAYBE WE ARE MOVING TOWARD A PLACE WHERE WE CAN
DO THAT SORT OF THING.
I KNOW A GUY WHO IS A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO HAS BEEN IN A
GROUP WHERE THEY ARE LIKE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO PHOTOGRAPH NORTH
KOREA?
AND FREQUENTLY WHEN THEY RECOUNT THEIR STORIES THEY ARE
OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO TOE THE LINE BETWEEN REPORTING ACCURATELY ON
WHAT HAPPENED, BUT ALSO TRYING TO GET INVITED BACK AGAIN.
SO
THAT'S THE DIFFICULT LINE TO WALK.
THERE'S A GREAT BOOK, I
WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS, IT'S CALLED THE ORPHANMASTER'S SON,
IT'S WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO WENT ON ONE OF THOSE DELEGATIONS, AND
ITS FICTION LIES IS IT IN LINE WITH HOW WEIRD AND FICTITIOUS
THE EXPERIENCE IN NORTH KOREA ACTUALLY FEELS, IT CRAFTS A
COMPELLING NARRATIVE TO COMMUNICATE IF NOT THE EXACT
THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING THERE, BUT THE TRUTHS, AND THEY DRAW ON
REAL THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN NORTH KOREA.
LIKE KIM JONG-IL
SAYING I LIKE THAT JAPANESE OPERA STAR, KIDNAP HER AND BRING
HER BACK.
AND THAT HAPPENS, THERE ARE KIDNAPPINGS ALL THE
TIME.
PEOPLE SNEAKING INTO SOUTH KOREA, KIDNAPPINGS, SMUGGLING
THINGS BACK, A LOT OF THE ECONOMY IS BASED ON COUNTERFEIT
AND GRAFT, IT'S WEIRD.
I HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK NOW.
IT'S AMAZING.
BUT THIS STORY IS ONE OF, WHAT ARE WE SAYING TO
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS
WITH ME THIS MORNING, WHAT MESSAGE DOES IT SEND THAT WE ARE
ESSENTIALLY LOOKING FOR PEACE, WHAT DO WE SAY TO THESE PEOPLE
WHO ARE AMERICANS WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THESE TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCES, AND TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE WORST
DURING THIS?
WHAT ABOUT THE THREE WHO ARE STILL THERE?
ARE WE APPEASING THEM?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOTED YOU DON'T MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR
FRIENDS, YOU ONLY MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR ENEMIES, THAT THE ONLY
PERSON YOU CAN, AND IN EVERY CONFLICT THERE WILL BE TERRIBLE
STUFF.
AND IN SOME CASES, THEY HAVE SET UP TRUTH AND
RECONCILIATION COMMITTEES AND THINGS LIKE THAT BUT NOT GONE
FORWARD ON PROSECUTING CLEAR WAR CRIMES AND THINGS OF THAT SORT.
IT COULD BE THAT THAT IS NECESSARY TO GET NORTH KOREA TO
JOIN THE REST OF US RIGHT NOW, BUT I WILL SAY THIS: I WANT
PEACE THERE, BUT PEACE IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
PEACE ISN'T EVEN THE ABSENCE OF ARTILLERY AIMED AT SEOUL.
PEACE
IS THE PEOPLE OF NORTH KOREA NOT BEING BRUTALIZED AND ENSLAVED
AND TORTURED AND MURDERED.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT CAN HAPPEN
NOW OR IF IT HAS TO HAPPEN OVER THE COURSE OF DECADES, BUT I
KNOW THAT IF WHAT COMES OUT OF THIS IS THEY ACTUALLY DO
DENUCLEARIZE AND PULL SOME OF THEIR FORCES AWAY FROM THE
BORDER THAT WOULD BE GREAT BUT IF THAT ALLOWS KIM JONG-UN AND
HIS SONS OR WHATEVER TO RULE FOR ANOTHER 100 YEARS AND THE PEOPLE
OF NORTH KOREA ARE IN THE SAME STATE AS THEY ARE NOW, HOW IS
THAT PEACE IN ANY MEETING OF THE WORD?
THAT IS WHAT IS ANGERING PEOPLE WHEN THEY SEE HIM SMILING
AND BEING CHEERED ON, THEY ARE HOLDING HANDS AND CROSSING THE
BORDER, AND HIS SISTER IS BEING CELEBRATED AT THE OLYMPICS, AND
SHE IS OUR NEW SHADE QUEEN, THAT IS WHAT IS FORGOTTEN I
THINK IN THIS CONVERSATION.
IT'S THOSE WEIRD MOMENTS LIKE AT THE OLYMPICS WHEN THEY
REALIZED IN THE NORTH KOREAN CHEERING DELEGATION THAT THE
CAMERA WAS ON THEM, THEY WENT FROM LIKE THIS TO DOING THEIR
CHOREOGRAPHED --
THAT'S PROBABLY ALL CHEERLEADERS THOUGH.
BUT LOOK,
I'M TRYING TO BE REALISTIC, OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T JUST SKETCH
OUT YOUR FANTASY FOR WHAT IS WANT TO HAPPEN AND EXPECT TO
HAPPEN, HE'S NOT GO TO STEP DOWN, HE'S NOT GOING TO DIE
TOMORROW, AND I DO THINK HE DESPERATELY WANTS TO BE A WAR
LEADER THAT GETS TO -- HE IS BASICALLY TRUMP, HE WANTS TO GO
TO PARTIES AND HAVE PEOPLE TALK NICE ABOUT HIM.
OBVIOUSLY THERE
WILL HAVE TO BE ACCESS TO NORTH KOREA IF WE ARE TO BELIEVE
ANYTHING THEY SAY ABOUT DENUCLEARIZATION, NOW THEY
WOULD NEVER ALLOW THAT SO THAT WOULD BE A BIG STEP.
BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES
AREN'T HAPPENING ANYMORE.
HE MIGHT WELL HAVE TO BE THE LEADER BUT HE CAN'T RULE IN
THE WAY HE HAS.
BUT YOU'RE SAYING THAT HAS TO BE A PRIORITY, AND IT'S
BEING LEFT OUT IT SEEMS SO FAR.
WE ARE STILL IN THE EARLY STAGES.
THERE ARE A LOT OF POSITIVE OPTICS THAT COME OUT OF PEACE,
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF STRATEGIC THINGS THAT THESE MAJOR PLAYERS
DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP.
CHINA WANTS A GEOGRAPHICAL BUFFER
BETWEEN THEM AND THE AMERICAN BASIS IN SOUTH KOREA, CHINA
WANTS US TO GET RID OF OUR, WHAT DO WE HAVE, THREE MILITARY BASES
AT LEAST IN SOUTH KOREA?
WHICH GIVES US A STRATEGIC FOOTHOLD IN
THE EAST CHINA SEA.
OF COURSE CHINA ONCE US OUT, OF COURSE WE
DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.
WE WILL SEE HOW THESE NEGOTIATIONS GO, BUT
IN THE SAME WAY THAT IT'S PRETTY EASY TO DECLARE A SYMBOLIC
VICTORY, GRANTED NO ONE HAS DONE IT BEFORE BY GOING AND PLANTING
TREES, WE ARE STILL, AS YOU SAY, VERY FAR AWAY FROM SEEING PEACE
HERE.
FROM WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS.
I THINK THE MOST PRACTICAL SHORT RANGE GOAL IS FOR CHINA TO
SAY, OKAY, HERE IS WHAT YOU DO.
YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF SEMBLANCE
OF CAPITALISM, BUT STILL HERE IS HOW TO MAINTAIN DICTATORIAL
CONTROL OVER YOUR PEOPLE BY DOING WHAT WE DO IN CHINA BUT
STILL BEING ABLE TO BE REPUTABLE THE WORLD OVER.
LIKE, THAT'S IT,
AND WE WILL GET CHINA HEAVY, CHINA HAS BECOME CHINA LITE, WE
WILL GET CHINA HEAVY, THAT'S THE PRACTICAL NEXT STEP AND THAT'S
ALL WE CAN LEAVE HOPE FOR AND WE WILL SEE HOW IT GOES.
IT'S
POSSIBLE TRUMP WILL GO BACK TO THE OTHER HAYLEY MILLS IN THIS
PARENT TRAP AND JUST BE LIKE, YOU KNOW, HE'S A ROCKET MAN.

Iran and Israel WAR in Syria 'VERY likely' warns US Pentagon chief James Mattis - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 2:56.
Iran and Israel WAR in Syria 'VERY likely' warns US Pentagon chief James Mattis
A WAR between Israel and Iran is "very likely" claims Pentagon chief James Mattis just days
after French President Emmanuel Macron said he thinks Donald Trump will pull out of the
2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Speaking to journalists on Friday, the Pentagon chief said he did not know how it would start
but an escalation between the two rivals is likely because of Iran's links with Hezbollah,
who are operating in the area.
He said: "I can see how it might start, but I am not sure when or where.
"Conflict between the two countries in Syria is very likely… because Iran continues to
do its proxy work there through Hezbollah."
Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman met with Mr Mattis after the hearing.
Mr Liberman also met with US National Security Adviser John Bolton, who he called a "loyal
friend to the state of Israel".
Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated since airstrikes against Iranian bases in
Syria on April 9 and April 17.
Syrian state-TV blamed the strikes on Israeli forces, but Israel has neither confirmed nor
denied the attacks.
Avigdor Lieberman has vowed to protect his country against "Iran's aggression" and
refused to rule out breaching Syrian airspace to launch future attacks.
Mr Lieberman claimed Israel has "total freedom of action" in Syrian airspace if necessary.
He told Walla News: "We will maintain total freedom of action.
"We will not accept any limitation when it comes to the defence of our security interests.
"All options are on the table."
Tensions were escalated further after the US, France and UK carried out missile strikes
against Iranian ally Syria on April 13.
Mike Pompeo also said it was "unlikely" Trump would keep the US in the Iran deal during
the news conference at Nato headquarters.
This seemed to support Macron's claims that Trump is considering pulling out of the deal.
Mr Macron said: "My view — I don't know what your president will decide — is that
he will get rid of this deal on his own, for domestic reasons.
"If you heard him in the Oval Office, you will have come to the same conclusions," he
said before pointing out that ripping up the Iran deal was one of Trump's campaign promises."
