Trump foreign policy

'Would you like some nice ISIS fighters?'

 

Quote

“Let’s be serious,” Macron replied. “A very large number of fighters you have on the ground — ISIS fighters coming from Syria, Iraq and the region. It is true you have foreign fighters coming from Europe, but this is a tiny minority of the overall problem we have.

 

“And I think the No. 1 priority, because it’s not yet finished, is to get rid of ISIS,” Macron continued. “It’s not yet done. I’m sorry to say that. You still have fighters in Syria and Iraq, and more and more.”

 

...

Macron said the withdrawal of U.S. troops, and Turkey’s invasion, has led to a “destabilization” of the region, making it “more difficult to fix the situation.”

 

So, I found it interesting to note the complete lack of Macron stepping up to send French soldiers to "stabilize" the region. Funny how he's upset that the US isn't putting our boys in girls in harm's way any longer, all while not volunteering to send his people there...

Trump’s NATO Successes

by Conrad Black

 

Original Article

 

 

As the Democrats toil to make their impeachment effort look like something other than a partisan smear job and legal scam, President Trump is at the NATO leaders’ meeting in London, observing the 70th anniversary of that organization, and is able to take some pleasure in the success of his foreign policy.

 

His enemies, who have swarmed in the media every day since he declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination — first in derisive hilarity, then in a rising state of alarm, and finally in seething hatred — claim that he has alienated allies, swaggered absurdly, and generally brought the United States into disrepute while accomplishing nothing useful and giving comfort to the nation’s rivals and opponents.

 

There will be some frictions at the NATO meetings, but the president can reflect on the fact that when he assumed office, only three NATO countries of 27 apart from the U.S. were meeting the agreed target of devoting 2 percent of GDP to defense: the United Kingdom, Poland, and mighty Estonia. Today that number is eight, and commitments are in place to take it up to 18 out of 30 within four years, a total increase in alliance defense spending of $400 billion.

One of her tweets ? ? ?

Since impeachment started, more and more foreign service officers are heading toward the door, afraid that Marie Yovanovitch’s fate will befall them.

 

 

 

Her article actually complains that prime ambassadorships were given to major Trump donors.

 

No *****.  That's not new.  Does she think FDR appointed Joe Kennedy ambassador to England because of his decades of foreign policy experience?  Check out Obama's and Bush's ambassador appointments.
