Deranged Rhino Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Lol, no. How has Obama's policy been towards Israel in your eyes? It's not "Obama's" policy that's guiding this nation, which has been my entire thesis. Politicians nor voters determine American policy, and haven't since the turn of the century. 44 sold out (or capitulated, depending on how cynically you wish to view it) to the same people 43 did, 44 just has better PR. You'll disagree because your partisan blinders are super-sized, but the evidence for this is clear. He ran a campaign promising peace, but instead brought us more war. He ran a campaign based on transparency and instead his administration has been harsher on whistleblowers and leakers than any other in modern history. The entirety of the nation's foreign policy has been focused on two fronts during his 8 year tenure: a bogus war on terror (designed to simultaneously engorge federal power while reducing individual constitutional protections) and forcing two anti-democratic (some would rightfully call them codified corporate fascism) trade deals down the throats of allies and foes alike. Has any of this made Israel more secure? Nope. Has any of this made America more secure? Hell no. As I said earlier, history will not be kind to this "administration's" foreign policy.

B-Man Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 He deserves a pass on this one because Anthony bourdain is great. Fair enough................. THIRD BATTLE OF FALLUJAH: Shiite militias allied with the government seize two districts on the city’s outskirts, commander says. Iraqi forces backed by airstrikes from a U.S.-led international coalition pounded Fallujah from the ground and the air Monday, marking the start of a bid to retake one of Islamic State’s last major urban strongholds in the country. Iraq’s army and counterterrorism forces, police, tribal fighters and the Popular Mobilization Forces joined in the assault, the military’s Joint Operations Command said. Fallujah, about 40 miles west of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, has been held by Islamic State since the Sunni Muslim extremist group captured it in early 2014. The tragedy is that this city — hard won by Coalition forces led by US Marines in 2004 — was largely at peace before President Obama abandoned Iraq in 2011. Three years later, Obama dismissed ISIS as the “jayvee” days after the group had taken Fallujah. The people there have suffered under ISIS rule since, and now find themselves once again in the middle of a war zone. This morning, the Washington Post’s Fred Hiatt wrote that “it does not require hindsight to appreciate the recklessness of his decision” to leave Iraq. Hindsight is preferable to remaining blind, I suppose. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Brazil: Leaked tape forces minister out http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-36365781 Have to admit there has been enormous progress in South America. This quote so golden: Dilma Rousseff said the tapes prove that the impeachment process is a "political coup" designed to protect senior figures implicated in the Petrobras scandal. She is accused of massaging budget figures ahead of her re-election in 2014, and is due to be tried in the senate in the coming months. In the audio transcript, leaked by the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper on Monday, Mr Juca appears to be saying the impeachment was necessary to "staunch the bleeding" and create a "political pact" needed to "stop everything and limit things." The use of what is now a historical term in describing the democratic process of today. Coups use to be the norm, now they are less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This quote so golden: The use of what is now a historical term in describing the democratic process of today. Coups use to be the norm, now they are less so. What sort of progress do you see in South America? And how can you claim coups used to be the norm when two of the largest South American nations are currently undergoing western backed coups? This kind of statement requires further explanation... ********************************** More on Obama in Vietnam, pushing TPP and anti-China rhetoric despite Vietnam's despicable human rights record: Obama backs Vietnam in South China Sea dispute with Beijing The trip, which has also promoted the US-inspired Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, has been criticised by activists and US politicians who say it backs the one-party Vietnamese state and its poor human rights record. Human Rights Watch said lifting the embargo on lethal weapons sales had “jettisoned what remained of US leverage to improve human rights in Vietnam – and basically gotten nothing for it”. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/24/obama-backs-vietnam-in-south-china-sea-dispute-with-beijing Sticking right with 44's "policy" -- getting nothing for something.
