the Crisis provoked by the United States in the middle East, has inter-dimension. How does it work?
Protests against the assassination of General Soleimani and the new crisis around Iran fit into the history of impeachment. At Union square in new York anti-war rally demanding the resignation of Donald trump and Vice-President Mike Pence. Similar events are held the second week in all the major and not so major cities in the country. Fresh polls yet, but the previous has shown that seven out of ten Americans are concerned that the United States may decide on the hasty use of military force against Iran. Their fears were confirmed that night when the convoy General of the IRGC hit whether from a helicopter, or a drone.
“the United States suggests that in the hands of General Soleimani blood. But in the hands of the United States is much more blood. You can go back to the overthrow of the Iranian government in 1953, aid to the Shah and his murderous regime. We can recall two wars that the United States staged against Iraq. Hundreds of thousands, even millions of people died because of the actions of the US in this part of the world. And then they say he’s a bad guy, he should be killed,” said Carol Dix, an organizer of the protest.
and in Washington (where, of course, have no shadow of moral discomfort about the offense), and could not decide. No backed up by some evidence reasons. It is not clear, and why should such a hurry. The last of the working versions — in an interview with trump’s Fox.
the US President is obviously confused in indications. Just a day the number of embassies, which allegedly was going to blow up the commander of the division “al-Kuds” and his people, trump has quadrupled.
the Presence of the parallel commentators, the situation is even more exacerbated. Mike Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of state, the American press has identified the main masterminds of the attack on Soleimani. Access Secretary of state journalists there, and it puts in an awkward situation, not only him.
the Apotheosis in the form of cross interrogation for Pompeo turned their joint with the Minister of Finance by Mucinum press conference. Both trump sent a camera to tell about the new sanctions, which the President of the United States, as already joking evil tongues, at the last moment canceled the beginning of world war III. But journalists are hardly interested in the restrictions against 17 Iranian mining and metals companies as well as foreign vessels. Even adding in the sanctions list of eight other senior Iranian officials have not made the proper impression. Really the press is still only care about killing Soleimani. Rather, the warrant for his murder.
– please Clarify whether the threat is imminent and which embassies were to be struck?
– we had accurate information about an imminent threat, including U.S. embassies. Point, — said Pompeo.
– That is, before you mistakenly said that I do not know exactly where and when will an attack?
– I see no contradiction. We didn’t know exactly when this will happen, but it was obvious that the Qasem Soleimani planned large-scale attack on America. It was only a matter of time.
Those who climbed under the skin Pompeo, can be written in a malicious manufacturers of fakes who hate everything to do with trump (as in the White house do often), but only where the record of their own, Republicans?.. From the closed briefing, which was held for both houses of Congress, the Secretary of state Pompeo, head of the Pentagon Esper, the Director of the CIA Haspel and the Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff Millie, disappointed were not only Democrats, but also Tarnowskie party members. Yes there is, highly irritated.
White crow showed up and in the lower house. And it’s the same Matt Goetz that was one of the most ardent defenders of the trump, when in the House of representatives there was a fierce battle for impeachment. But now he and two Republicans along with Democrats to vote for the proposed resolution. That obliges the President of the United States not to take military action against Iran without congressional approval.
In the next stage, the resolution will try to take the Senate. Chances are, in truth, a little. The majority — the Republicans. On the way, meanwhile two more of the bill. One blocks funding for any attempts of military action against the Islamic Republic. The other should put an end to the broad powers of the American President to use military force in Iraq. They were knocked out for himself, Bush, and trump is willing to use them.
“members of Congress have serious concerns about the decision of the US administration to take military action. During a briefing representatives of the administration, these concerns were not taken into account,” said Nancy Pelosi, the representative of the house of representatives.
Strange if it were otherwise. Not casually in the middle of the impeachment in the beginning of the election year around trump’s got a very specific team that oversees national security .
a Collective portrait of the new composition of the Washington regional Committee draws the WSJ newspaper. Core — classmates at the military Academy of West Point the head of the state Department and the Pentagon Pompeo and Esper. They are supplemented by new (instead of Bolton) the national security Advisor O’brien. Trump like him because don’t hurt any questions. To always take the salute ready and the Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff Millie. But something clearly goes wrong. In the same article appears potentially threatening to Trump my second impeachment.
“After the put strike trump told his aides that taking the decision about the liquidation of General Soleimani, he was under pressure from Republican senators, which he regarded as his allies in the upcoming impeachment hearings in the Senate,” writes the WSJ.
What really turned him on Soleimani, trump seems to have realized only that morning, when from Tehran came in news about Boeing shot down by a Ukrainian. Late for half an hour with a statement on the Iranian strikes, he was not like a man that is happy with what is doing and saying. Trump was breathing heavily, his mouth dry. About the plane the US President is significant not said a word, recovering only slightly to pre-election rally in Ohio — the first this year.
“We had to make a decision. We didn’t have time to call Nancy. This guy Soleimani, sowed death and destruction in the middle East and beyond. He killed civilian, military, all who were in his way. And here are Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi and say: why are you not asked our permission to eliminate them, you need to have to consult with Congress in such a situation. Then we could call our lying media and tell them all about your plans,” said trump.
I Heard what you said about trump? His statement has already been called the worst for the last time.
– the administration of the tramp as he can, and is defending, said Pelosi.
Later, Pelosi passed the lower house voted articles of impeachment to the Senate. To defend Trump may have there. Testimony in the case of impeachment unexpectedly agreed to give a former adviser to John Bolton, a key witness, which the Democrats have long wanted to get. Trump is strongly against. He promised to use his powers to prevent it.
In fact, from Bolton want to hear about Ukraine. Or rather, about a phone conversation with trump Zelensky, of which former national security Advisor were present. But the topic of Iran, which, too, may want to talk to the Democrats for him not a stranger. However, the us Democrats nor Iran, nor the Middle East in General also have no friends.
Yes, Obama made it profitable nuclear deal with Tehran, but that’s when it began the civil war in Syria. And in Libya, with the active efforts of Hillary Clinton overthrew Gaddafi. Change of American policy — American policy remains unchanged.
