We must always have the backs of our allies, if we expect them to have our back. The Kurds were instrumental in our successful fight against ISIS in Syria. Leaving them to die is a big mistake.

A federal judge in New York has ruled that President Trump's longtime accounting firm must turn over eight years of tax returns as part of a criminal probe of his business dealings. The president's personal attorneys immediately filed a notice of appeal.

Judge Victor Marrero said he could not endorse such a "categorical and limitless assertion of presidential immunity from judicial process."

The ruling comes as part of a criminal investigation by Manhattan district attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr., into alleged hush money the Trump organization paid to two women who claimed they had extramarital affairs with Trump before he took office. The president has denied those accusations.

The Manhattan court battle is part of a multi-pronged effort to pry loose Trump's tax returns. Democrats in Congress are suing the Treasury Department for six years worth of his tax returns under a provision in the law that requires the IRS to hand over any taxpayers' filings to Congress.

California enacted a law to require presidential candidates to disclose their taxes if they wanted to be on the state's primary ballot but a federal judge blocked the law.

Democrats have long claimed that Trump's tax returns could reveal whether Trump's business dealings as a candidate and president reveal conflicts of interest.

Lindsey Graham calls in to Fox & Friends & calls Trump's decision to abandon the Kurds "impulsive."

"I hope I'm making myself clear how shortsighted & irresponsible this decision is in my view," he says. "This to me is just unnerving to its core."

Kijk, Senator Graham dnekt dat trump meer gewicht geeft aan de stemmen uit de tv.

Reactie sop he tverraad van trump:

Lindsey Graham
?
I don’t know all the details regarding President Trump’s decision in northern Syria. In process of setting up phone call with Secretary Pompeo.

If press reports are accurate this is a disaster in the making.

* Ensures ISIS comeback.
* Forces Kurds to align with Assad and Iran.
* Destroys Turkey’s relationship with U.S. Congress.
* Will be a stain on America’s honor for abandoning the Kurds.

Also, if this plan goes forward will introduce Senate resolution opposing and asking for reversal of this decision. Expect it will receive strong bipartisan support.

The President’s decision to abandon our Kurd allies in the face of an assault by Turkey is a betrayal. It says that America is an unreliable ally; it facilitates ISIS resurgence; and it presages another humanitarian disaster.

Republikein keert zich tegen Trump om Syrië-besluit: ’Een ramp’
1 uur geleden in BUITENLAND

WASHINGTON - Een vooraanstaand Republikeins senator, Lindsey Graham, heeft zich fel tegen president Trumps beleid in Syrië gekeerd. Graham twitterde dat het plan van Trump om de Amerikaanse militairen uit het noorden van Syrië te halen „een ramp kan betekenen.” Hij vraagt Trump om op zijn besluit terug te komen.

Als dat plan wordt uitgevoerd, dient Graham naar eigen zeggen in de Senaat een resolutie in om het terug te draaien. Hij denkt hier voldoende steun van zowel Democratische als Republikeinse senatoren te hebben.

Trump heeft na een gesprek met de Turkse president Erdogan laten weten dat hij de Amerikaanse militairen en waarnemers in het noorden van Syrië terugtrekt. Turkije wil in dat gebied in de aanval tegen Koerdisch-Syrische strijders. Die zijn volgens Ankara bondgenoten van de PKK, een extremistische Koerdische beweging uit Turkije die onder meer door de Turkse regering als terroristisch is bestempeld.

President Trump heeft zijn besluit de handen af te trekken van Syrië verdedigd met de stelling dat de Verenigde Staten er niets meer te zoeken hebben. Het ’kalifaat’ van de terreurgroep Islamitische Staat (IS) is er doelmatig en voor 100 procent verslagen door het Amerikaanse ingrijpen, maar nu brengen we de soldaten terug naar huis, twitterde Trump.

Stammenstrijd

Trump wijst erop, dat de Amerikaanse troepen er aanvankelijk voor korte duur zouden zijn, maar dat is nu al bijna drie jaar geworden. „Het is tijd voor ons, om ons terug te trekken uit die eindeloze belachelijke oorlogen, de meeste stammentwisten. Wij zullen (in de toekomst) vechten waar het ons belang dient en waar we winnen.”

De Amerikaanse president heeft ook getwitterd dat hij geen schuldgevoelens heeft over het stoppen van steun aan de Koerdische Syriërs van vooral de strijdgroep YPG. Die speelden een belangrijke rol bij de strijd tegen IS in het oosten van Syrië. „De Koerden hebben met ons gevochten, maar we hebben ze kolossale hoeveelheden geld en materieel gegeven om dat te doen. En zij vechten al tientallen jaren tegen Turken.”

I was elected on getting out of these ridiculous endless wars, where our great Military functions as a policing operation to the benefit of people who don’t even like the USA. The two most unhappy countries at this move are Russia & China, because they love seeing us bogged.....
....down, watching over a quagmire, & spending big dollars to do so. When I took over, our Military was totally depleted. Now it is stronger than ever before. The endless and ridiculous wars are ENDING! We will be focused on the big picture, knowing we can always go back & BLAST!
As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over...
....the captured ISIS fighters and families. The U.S. has done far more than anyone could have ever expected, including the capture of 100% of the ISIS Caliphate. It is time now for others in the region, some of great wealth, to protect their own territory. THE USA IS GREAT!

Oh.

Mooi, full steam ahead danmaar Senator Warren

Concern on Wall Street has been rising along with 2020 Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren’s poll numbers. But worries about her potential success may be overdone, according to RBC Capital Markets.

“Any pain from a Warren win is likely to be temporary,” Lori Calvasina, RBC’s head of U.S. equity strategy, wrote in a report Monday that was partially underpinned by a survey of RBC industry analysts. “Most of the sectors at high risk under a Warren presidency from a policy perspective (Financials, Energy, Health Care, Industrials) are already deeply undervalued versus the broader market.”

Warren has pitched ideas like “accountable capitalism,” and advocated for consumers. Her recent surge in key state and national polls has stoked concern about sectors such as biotechnology, for-profit schools, health insurance, and even the U.S. dollar. Some market players have voiced unease

donald trump got "rolled" by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a National Security Council source with direct knowledge of the discussions told Newsweek.

In a scheduled phone call on Sunday afternoon between President trump and President Erdogan, Trump said he would withdraw U.S. forces from northern Syria. The phone call was scheduled after Turkey announced it was planning to invade Syria, and hours after Erdogan reinforced his army units at the Syrian-Turkish border and issued his strongest threat to launch a military incursion, according to the National Security Council official to whom Newsweek spoke on condition of anonymity

The U.S. withdrawal plays into the hands of the Islamic State group, Damascus and Moscow, and the announcement left trump's own Defense Department "completely stunned," said Pentagon officials. Turkey, like the United States, wants regime change in Syria. Russia and Iran support the Assad regime.

"President trump was definitely out-negotiated and only endorsed the troop withdraw to make it look like we are getting something—but we are not getting something," the National Security Council source told Newsweek. "The U.S. national security has entered a state of increased danger for decades to come because the president has no spine and that's the bottom line."

Newsweek granted the National Security Council official anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The source said it would not be surprising to see a Turkish incursion in the next 24 to 96 hours.

Trump en Oekraine

Politieke spelletjes van Trump slechts een rookgordijn om Trump's geld spelletje te verdoezelen

Trump's zakenvrienden willen een graantje meepikken van de energie markt in Oekraine

Doel : 100 verschepingen van LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) vanaf de US naar Oekraine.

Oekraine heeft een grote energiemarkt en de gas distributie verloopt via staatsbedrijf NaftoGaz.
Het gas komt vanaf Rusland en daar willen de Amerikanen een deel van afpikken.
Er moesten in de top van NaftoGaz twee Amerikanen komen, zodat er lucratieve contracten voor US levering konden komen.

3 Zakenlui waren ermee bezig
-twee Soviet-born Florida Real estate ondernemers : Lev Parnas en Igor Fruman
-1 oil magnate van Boca Rota, Florida : Harry Sargeant
Zij waren grote sponsors van de GOP en Trump.

www.apnews.com/d7440cffba4940f5b85cd3...

Minister van Energie Rick Perrie was 3 x in Oekraine, waaronder ook 1 maal de inauguratie van de nieuwe President Zelenskyi.

Om Zelenskiy onder druk te zetten volgden de politieke spelletjes, met het inhouden van de $ 250 miljoen militaire steun, het verkrijgen van belastend materiaal over Joe Biden, en het dwingen om Zelenskiy vrede met Rusland te sluiten over de Russische bezetting van Oost Oekraine en De Krim.

Mooie Quid-Pro-Quo (voor wat hoort wat (maffia afspraken dus)) :

Trump :

-Trump geeft uiteindelijk toch de $ 250 miljoen wapens aan Oekraine en geeft nog eens extra $ 140 miljoen.En krijgt de LNG contracten en belastend materiaal over Biden(het laatste was de bedoeling, maar dat bestaat niet)
Bovendien stond Trump nog in de schuld bij Rusland. Rusland had Trump financieel en via sociale media trollen en bot beïnvloeding aan de overwinning geholpen in 2016.
Trump moest als tegenprestatie de sancties op Rusland opheffen. Sancties opgelegd aan Rusland vanwege de onrechtmatige inval in Oost Oekraine en de Krim. Dit was moeilijk , maar ....
Nu Zelenskiy vrede sluit met Rusland is er geen reden meer voor de sancties en heeft Trump de mogelijkheid Putin terug te betalen.

Zelenskiy

- Zelenskiy heeft de US LNG contracten gegeven voor leveringen, door de capitulatie aan Rusland zijn zijn oorlogsinspanningen in het Oosten afgenomen.
In ruil daarvoor krijgt Oekraine de $ 250 miljoen militaire steun plus nog een extra bedrag van $ 140 miljoen.
Het enige probleem voor Zelenskiy is nu dat de bevolking de capitulatie aan Putin niet pruimt.

Putin
-Putin's Rusland was bij deze zaak niet betrokken.
Het ziet dat de US gasleveringen afpikt. Echter dat de bezetting van Oost Oekraine en de Krim internationaal gerespecteerd wordt is Putin veel waard.
Bovendien hoopt Putin dat de weg nu vrij ligt voor het opheffen van de US sancties op Rusland.

De grootste profiteur is uiteindelijk Rusland.
Weer een cadeautje van Trump aan Putin.

KYIV, Ukraine — As Rudy Giuliani was pushing Ukrainian officials last spring to investigate one of Donald Trump’s main political rivals, a group of individuals with ties to the president and his personal lawyer were also active in the former Soviet republic.

Their aims were profit, not politics. This circle of businessmen and Republican donors touted connections to Giuliani and Trump while trying to install new management at the top of Ukraine’s massive state gas company. Their plan was to then steer lucrative contracts to companies controlled by Trump allies, according to two people with knowledge of their plans.

Their plan hit a snag after Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko lost his reelection bid to Volodymyr Zelenskiy, whose conversation with Trump about former Vice President Joe Biden is now at the center of the House impeachment inquiry of Trump.

But the effort to install a friendlier management team at the helm of the gas company, Naftogaz, would soon be taken up with Ukraine’s new president by U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry, whose slate of candidates included a fellow Texan who is one of Perry’s past political donors.

It’s unclear if Perry’s attempts to replace board members at Naftogaz were coordinated with the Giuliani allies pushing for a similar outcome, and no one has alleged that there is criminal activity in any of these efforts. And it’s unclear what role, if any, Giuliani had in helping his clients push to get gas sales agreements with the state-owned company.

Al Kipone 7 oktober 2019 21:35

Among other changes, Perry pushed for Ukraine’s state-owned natural gas company Naftogaz to expand its board to include Americans, two people familiar with the matter said. Two longtime energy executives based in Perry’s home state of Texas were among those under consideration for that role, one source familiar with the administration’s dealings with the company said.

Energy Secretary Rick Perry on Monday denied that he pressed the Ukrainian government to put two U.S. businessmen on the board of the state energy company or that he was planning to leave the Trump administration.

Perry's comments at a press conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, come amid growing scrutiny into the Trump administration's diplomacy in Ukraine, which has triggered a House impeachment inquiry into whether the president withheld aid to the country in exchange for a pledge from President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate political rival Joe Biden and his son.
