Buffalo_Gal Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Secretary Pompeo Tightens Nuclear Restrictions on Iran The Trump administration continues to hold the Iranian regime accountable for activities that threaten the region’s stability and harm the Iranian people. This includes denying Iran any pathway to a nuclear weapon. As part of the administration’s unprecedented maximum pressure campaign to address the full range of Iran’s destructive activities, Secretary Pompeo has today tightened restrictions on the regime’s nuclear program. Starting May 4, assistance to expand Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant beyond the existing reactor unit could be sanctionable. In addition, activities to transfer enriched uranium out of Iran in exchange for natural uranium could be sanctionable. Iran must stop all proliferation-sensitive activities, including uranium enrichment, and we will not accept actions that support the continuation of such enrichment. We will also no longer permit the storage for Iran of heavy water it has produced in excess of current limits; any such heavy water must no longer be available to Iran in any fashion. </snip> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 There are 6,241,916,543 parties in France (not as much of an exaggeration as you might initially think), and they will all get people elected... including the "yellow vests" (you know, a movement with no leader). The article has polling data for the parties, as well as a discussion on voter apathy. I guess we will see how weak, or strong, Macron is in a few weeks. Low-stakes European election in France – but not for Macron and Le Pen Polling data suggests that the May 26 European election in France will see a battle for first place between Macron’s and Le Pen’s parties, low turnout, a disappointing result for a Yellow Vest list, and a drubbing for France’s fractured left. </snip> However, another poll, published on May 2 by OpinionWay, put RN on top with 24 percent of the vote and a three-point lead over LREM. Then called the Front National, Le Pen's party claimed a resounding victory at the last European election in 2014, taking nearly 25 percent of the vote at a time when Macron's party didn't even exist. </snip> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedge Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) Statement from the National Security Advisor Ambassador John Bolton Issued on: May 5, 2019 Quote In response to a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings, the United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force. The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces. @DC Tom I think I have seen you mention fleet movements before, so you may have an answer to this: Was the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group on it's way to that region anyway (so this statement is even more bluster than usual)? I thought we had a carrier group cycle out fairly recently, so was this it's replacement? And a thread: Edited May 6, 2019 by Hedge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had a carrier group cycle out fairly recently, so was this it's replacement? Its a change in the deployment location for Lincoln. It was operating in the Med and will head east, probably to the Red Sea and east. Stennis was in the area recently. Stennis and Lincoln are changing homeports after their current deployments, Stennis from Bremerton Wa. to Norfolk for maintenance/nuclear refueling, and Lincoln from Norfolk to San Diego, so Lincoln would eventually transit the Indian Ocean anyway, but this is a change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 On 5/1/2019 at 4:53 PM, snafu said: Did the Scandinavian countries nationalize private industry, or were they always organized that way? Do the Scandinavian countries have confiscatory taxes so that a centralized government can redistrubute wealth as they see fit, whether the recipients have done anything to earn it, or were they always run that way? Do the Scandinavian countries practice price controls? Do they ration resources? Have they ever done those things? If these things weren't in place, and then were all of a sudden imposed, you will have pulled the rug out from under the citizenry. Those government actions go against human nature. Maybe these things are good for groups of people who want to live together communally, but the ideas can't be scaled up and placed upon the unwilling. And as long as people are resentful of confiscation, they will be unsettled. Eventually, the only way to keep order is to (a) have a strong police force, cowed citizens, and informants, then (b) bend the country's constitution (or laws) to rig the system to keep those running the show in power, and when that fails (c) enforce order. Why, that could be the Democrat Party’s 2020 Platform. FORWARD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 How can Trump even show up for a debate? I mean Joe Biden will kill this clown on his record of foreign influence on our election, Trump literally making excuses of people like Putin killing people on our allies soil kissing up to Kim. Will Trump even have debates? I doubt it. He can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Well, ya Quote Susan Rice in an op-ed published Monday decried President Trump's foreign policy, saying he was putting his political party before country, singling out his policies and rhetoric toward Russia, Israel and Venezuela. "Mr. Trump welcomes and encourages Russia, a hostile adversary, to interfere in our elections so long as the manipulations benefit him," Rice, a former national security adviser to then-President Barack Obama, wrote in The New York Times. "He discards decades of bipartisan policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to curry favor with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, and thus right-wing political support," she continued. "The president follows a basic, if unorthodox, playbook: He and his party over our country." https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/442245-susan-rice-slams-trumps-foreign-policy-he-encourages-russia-to After the Dems have a nominee it this criticism will get more focused. That's a good thing. Trump cannot defend his record. That's why he can't let anyone testify. Debate??? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
