US-Kongressabgeordnete Tulsi Gabbard (Democrats) über ihr Gespräch mit dem designierten US-Präsidenten Donald Trump

Tulsi Gabbard äusserte sich folgenderweise über ihr Gespräch mit dem designierten US-Präsidenten Donald Trump. Tulsi Gabbard schreibt, dass sie sich in vielen Punkten von Trump unterscheide , etwa in der Frage der Diversität und der Minderheiten. Doch wenn es um die Sicherheitspolitik des Landes gehe, müssten auch Parteigrenzen überwunden werden.

Tulsi Gabbard schreibt weiter:

„Der designierte Präsident Trump bat mich, mit ihm über unsere derzeitige Politik in Syrien, unseren Kampf gegen terroristische Gruppen wie al-Kaida und ISIS und andere außenpolitische Herausforderungen, denen wir gegenüberstehen, zu sprechen. Ich hielt es für wichtig, mich mit dem designierten Präsidenten zu treffen, bevor die Kriegstrommeln, die die Neocons geschlagen haben, uns in eine Eskalation des Krieges in Syrien treiben – einem Krieg, der bereits Hunderttausende von Leben gekostet hat und Millionen von Flüchtlingen gezwungen hat, aus ihren Häusern zu fliehen – auf der Suche nach Sicherheit für sich selbst und ihre Familien.

Der designierte Präsident Trump und ich hatten ein offenes und positives Gespräch, in dem wir eine Reihe von außenpolitischen Fragen ausführlich diskutierten. Ich teilte mit ihm meine ernsten Bedenken mit, dass die Eskalation des Krieg in Syrien durch die Umsetzung einer so genannten Flugverbotszone katastrophal für das syrische Volk, unser Land und die Welt wäre. Sie würde zu mehr Tod und Leiden führen, die Flüchtlingskrise verschärfen, ISIS und al-Kaida stärken und uns in einen direkten Konflikt mit Russland führen, der zu einem Atomkrieg führen könnte. Wir erörterten meine Gesetzesvorlage, um den illegalen Krieg unseres Landes zu beenden, mit dem wir die syrische Regierung stürzen wollen. Wir sollten unsere kostbaren Ressourcen auf den Wiederaufbau unseres eigenen Landes zu konzentrieren und auf die Beseitigung von Al-Kaida, ISIS und anderen terroristischen Gruppen, die eine Bedrohung für das amerikanische Volk garstellen.

Seit Jahren ist die Frage der Beendigung interventionistischen Kriege mit dem Ziel, andere Regierungen zu stürzen (regime change) eine meiner wichtigsten Prioritäten. Dies war der Hauptgrund, weshalb ich für den Kongress kandidierte – ich sah die Kosten des Krieges mit eigenen Augen, und die vielen Leben, die vernichtet wurden wegen unserer interventionistischen und kriegslüsternen Politik, die unser Land für viel zu lange betrieben hat.“

Lage um Aleppo in Syrien und Mossul im Irak

Die syrische Regierungsarmee hat eine Befreiungsoffensive im Osten von Aleppo gestartet, wie die Zeitung „Al Watan“ am Mittwochabend berichtete.

Die Armee rückt demnach vom Kreisverkehr Dschandul in Richtung Baidin-Platz vor. Unterstützt wird sie von der palästinensischen Volksheer-Brigade Al-Kuds, die zuvor das Flüchtlingslager Handarat im Nordosten von Aleppo unter ihre Kontrolle gebracht hatte.

Irakische Truppen haben am Dienstag vergeblich versucht, auf eine weitere Nachbarschaft im Osten von Mossul vorzurücken. Sie stießen auf heftigen Widerstand vonseiten des IS. Seit Beginn der Kampfhandlungen sind bereits 85.000 Menschen aus der Stadt geflohen. Militärexperten zeigen sich gegenüber RT entsetzt über eklatante Koordinierungsdefizite der US-gestützten Kräfte.

Trump will guten Draht zu Putin, aber keinen „Neustart“ (Sputniknews)

(…)

„Ich würde diesen Begriff („Neustart“ – Anm. d. Red.) nicht gebrauchen – nach allem, was geschehen ist“, so Trump im NYT-Interview. „Ich würde mich gern mit Russland gut verstehen und ich denke, dass sie sich auch gerne gut mit uns verstehen wollen. Das ist in unserem gegenseitigen Interesse.“

Besonders in der Syrien-Frage sei dies von großer Bedeutung: „Wäre es nicht schön, wenn wir gut mit Russland klarkämen; wäre es nicht schön, wenn wir zusammen gegen den IS  vorgehen würden“, so der künftige US-Staatschef. In jedem Fall müsse dem „aktuellen Wahnsinn in Syrien ein Ende gesetzt werden“.

Wende im Nahen Osten: Ägypten nähert sich Russland und den regionalen Rivalen Saudi-Arabiens an (RTdeutsch)

 

Ägyptens Präsident al Sisi richtet seine Außenpolitik neu aus und wendet sich immer mehr der „Achse“ Russland-Syrien-Irak-Iran zu. Dies missfällt Saudi Arabien, das Kairo nun Öl- und Geldhahn abdreht. Auch die guten Beziehungen zu Washington könnte Kairo sich verscherzen.

Trump’s Tulsi Gabbard Factor – against “regime change” wars (consortiumnews)

Exclusive: By inviting in Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat hostile to “regime change” wars, President-elect Trump may be signaling a major break with Republican neocon orthodoxy and a big shake-up of the U.S. foreign policy establishment, writes Robert Parry.

By Robert Parry

Two weeks after Donald Trump’s shocking upset of Hillary Clinton, the imperious and imperial neoconservatives and their liberal-interventionist understudies may finally be losing their tight grip on U.S. foreign policy.

The latest sign was Trump’s invitation for a meeting with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, on Monday. The mainstream media commentary has almost completely missed the potential significance of this start-of-the-work-week meeting by suggesting that Trump is attracted to Gabbard’s tough words on “radical Islamic terrorism.”

Far more important is that Gabbard, a 35-year-old Iraq War veteran, endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries because of his opposition to neocon/liberal-hawk military adventures. She starred in one of the strongest political ads of the campaign, a message to Hawaiians, called “The Cost of War.”

“Bernie Sanders voted against the Iraq War,” Gabbard says. “He understands the cost of war, that that cost is continued when our veterans come home. Bernie Sanders will defend our country and take the trillions of dollars that are spent on these interventionist, regime change, unnecessary wars and invest it here at home.”

In the ad, Gabbard threw down the gauntlet to the neocons and their liberal-hawk sidekicks, by accusing them of wasting trillions of dollars “on these interventionist, regime change, unnecessary wars.” Her comments mesh closely with Trump’s own perspective.

After the meeting on Monday, Gabbard released a statement confirming that the focus of the discussion had been her opposition to escalating the war in Syria by following neocon/liberal-hawk suggestions for a “no-fly zone” that would require widespread U.S. military destruction of Syrian government installations and the killing of a large number of Syrians.

“President-elect Trump asked me to meet with him about our current policies regarding Syria, our fight against terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS, as well as other foreign policy challenges we face,” Gabbard said. “I felt it important to take the opportunity to meet with the President-elect now before the drumbeat of war that neocons have been beating drag us into an escalation of the war to overthrow the Syrian government — a war which has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives and forced millions of refugees to flee their homes in search of safety for themselves and their families. …

“While the rules of political expediency would say I should have refused to meet with President-elect Trump, I never have and never will play politics with American and Syrian lives. …

“I shared with [President-elect Trump] my grave concerns that escalating the war in Syria by implementing a so-called no fly/safe zone would be disastrous for the Syrian people, our country, and the world. It would lead to more death and suffering, exacerbate the refugee crisis, strengthen ISIS and al-Qaeda, and bring us into a direct conflict with Russia which could result in a nuclear war.”

Trading Places

So, the surprise election results on Nov. 8 may have represented a “trading places” moment for the neocons and liberal hawks who were eagerly counting the days before the “weak” President Barack Obama would turn over the Commander-in-Chief job to former Secretary of State Clinton who had made clear that she shared their hawkish agenda of escalating the war in Syria with a “no-fly/safe zone,” and ratcheting up the New Cold War with Russia.

There was even speculation that one of Clinton’s neocon favorites within the State Department, Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs Victoria Nuland, might be rewarded with State’s top job for her “regime change” in Ukraine that sparked the start of the New Cold War in 2014.

Nuland, the wife of arch-neocon Robert Kagan, sabotaged President Obama’s emerging strategy of collaborating with Russian President Vladimir Putin on sensitive global issues. In 2013-14, Putin helped orchestrate two of Obama’s brightest foreign policy successes: Syria’s surrender of its chemical weapons arsenal and Iran’s guarantee that it would not develop nuclear weapons.

But those agreements infuriated the neocons who favored escalating both crises into direct U.S. bombing campaigns aimed at Syria and Iran – in accordance with the desires of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Saudi monarchy. Yet. there was perhaps even greater alarm at what the next move of the Obama-Putin tag team might be: demanding that Israel finally get serious about a peace deal with the Palestinians.

So, the neocons took aim at Ukraine, which neocon National Endowment for Democracy President Carl Gershman identified as “the biggest prize” and an important stepping stone to an even bigger prize, a “regime change” in Moscow removing Putin.

While Gershman’s NED funded (with U.S. taxpayers’ money) scores of projects inside Ukraine, training anti-government activists and journalists, Nuland took the point as the key organizer of a putsch that removed elected President Viktor Yanukovych on Feb. 22, 2014, and replaced him with a fiercely anti-Russian regime.

Given the geopolitical sensitivity of Ukraine to Russia, including its naval base on the Crimean peninsula, Putin had little choice but to react, supporting a referendum in Crimea in which 96 percent of the voters favored leaving Ukraine and rejoining Russia – and assisting ethnic Russian rebels in the east who resisted the violent ouster of their president.

Of course, the mainstream Western news media presented these developments as simply a case of “Russian aggression” and a “Russian invasion.” And, faced with this new “group think,” Obama quickly abandoned his partner, Putin, and joined in the chorus of condemnations.

Nuland emerged as a new star inside the State Department, a hero of the New Cold War which was expected to funnel trillions of tax dollars into the Military-Industrial Complex.

Trump’s Heresy

But Trump surprisingly adopted the position that Obama shied away from, a recognition that Putin could be an important asset in resolving major international crises. The real-estate-mogul-turned-politician stuck to that “outside-the-mainstream” position despite fierce attacks from rival Republicans and Democratic presidential nominee Clinton, who even mocked him as Putin’s “puppet.”

After Trump’s upset victory on Nov. 8, many pundits assumed that Trump would fall back in line with Washington’s hawkish foreign-policy establishment by giving top jobs to neocons, such as former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton and ex-CIA Director James Woolsey, or Netanyahu favorites, such as former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney or ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

So far, however, Trump has followed a different course, more in line with the libertarian thinking of the Koch brothers – not only the more famous ones, Charles and David, but also their long-estranged brother William, who I’m told have become behind-the-scenes advisers to the President-elect.

Though Trump did offer high-profile meetings to the likes of Romney and Giuliani, he has yet to hand over any key foreign-policy job to the Republican neocon wing. His one major announcement in that area has been naming as National Security Advisor retired Gen. Michael Flynn, who led the Defense Intelligence Agency when it produced a prescient warning that U.S. policy in Syria would lead to the creation of an “Islamic State.”

Though Flynn is regarded as a hardliner in the fight against Islamic jihadist terror, he is seen as an independent thinker regarding how best to wage that war. For instance, Flynn has objected to the notion that drone strikes, i.e., killing off individual jihadists, is a route to success.

“We’ve tended to say, drop another bomb via a drone and put out a headline that ‘we killed Abu Bag of Doughnuts’ and it makes us all feel good for 24 hours,” Flynn said. “And you know what? It doesn’t matter. It just made them a martyr, it just created a new reason to fight us even harder.”

That leaves open the possibility that a President Trump might eschew the “whack-a-mole” approach that has bedeviled the “war on terror” and instead go after the “mole nest” – if you will – the Saudi monarchy that has long financed Islamic extremists both through the fundamentalist Wahhabi brand of Sunni Islam and by supplying money and weapons to jihadists dating back at least to the Afghan mujahedeen in the 1980s, the origin of modern Islamic terrorism.

Traditional U.S. politicians have recoiled from facing up to the hard reality that the Saudi monarchy is the real “terror central” because of Saudi Arabia’s enormous riches and influence, which is now enhanced by its quiet alliance with Israel in their joint campaign against the so-called “Shiite crescent,” from Iran through Syria to Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

Taking on this Saudi-Israel nexus has long been regarded as political suicide, given Israel’s extraordinary lobbying power and Saudi Arabia’s exceptional wealth. But Trump may be assembling a team that is “crazy” enough to take on that mission.

So, while the fight over the future of U.S. foreign policy is far from over – the neocons will surely flex their muscles at the major think tanks, on the op-ed pages and inside the halls of Congress – the Trump transition is showing some creativity in assembling a national security team that may go in a very different direction.

Much will become apparent in Trump’s choice of Secretary of State. If it’s someone like Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, or Rep. Gabbard or a libertarian from the Kochs’ world, that would be bad news for the neocons. If it’s someone like Romney, Giuliani, Bolton or Woolsey, then that will mean that President-elect Trump has blinked and the neocons can breathe a sigh of relief.

Trump’s Tulsi Gabbard Factor

Warnung der Falken: Trumps Entspannungswille führt zum Dritten Weltkrieg (RTdeutsch)

US senators promise to act against Trump on Russia ties (PressTV)

US senators say they would counter incoming President Donald Trump if he moves to establish warm relations with Russia.

Lawmakers from both political parties would like Trump to rein in Russia, but they are also willing to take unilateral measures if necessary, according to an analysis by congressional newspaper The Hill.

“We cannot sit on the sidelines as a party and let allegations against a foreign government interfering in our election process go unanswered because it may have been beneficial to our case for the moment,” Senator Lindsey Graham said.

The South Carolina Republican said he was planning a multi-pronged approach, which would include helping allies in Eastern Europe counter Russia and holding a series of congressional hearings to highlight Russian “misadventures.”

Graham’s closest ally, Republican Senator John McCain, warned Trump last week against another “reset” of US-Russia relations, accusing President Vladimir Putin of “tyranny” and “murder.”

“With the US presidential transition underway, Vladimir Putin has said in recent days that he wants to improve relations with the United States,” the Arizona senator said after the first phone conversation between Trump and the Russian leader.

“We should place as much faith in such statements as any other made by a former KGB agent who has plunged his country into tyranny, murdered his political opponents, invaded his neighbors, threatened America’s allies, and attempted to undermine America’s elections.”

The increased pressure from the Senate comes as the House of Representatives passed legislation that would impose sanctions on the government of Syria and its supporters, including Russia and Iran.

Lawmakers have for years accused President Barack Obama of not being firm enough against Putin in the face of Russia’s “aggression” in Ukraine and more recently its air campaign in Syria.

They are now even more concerned with Trump who has openly praised the Russian president and called him a much stronger leader than Obama.

Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California and ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, expressed concern about the appointment of controversial former Army general Michael Flynn as Trump’s national security adviser.

„I am deeply concerned about his views on Russia, which over the last 12 months have demonstrated the same fondness for the autocratic and belligerent Kremlin which animate President-elect Trump’s praise of Vladimir Putin,“ Schiff said.

Senator Ben Cardin, Democrat of Maryland, echoed that concern on Friday, saying he is “disturbed by General Flynn’s relationships and ties with Russian actors.”

“There are Democrats and Republicans that are, I think most members of Congress, that are very concerned about Russia’s activities and how we try to reconcile that with statements that Donald Trump made during the course of his campaign,” said Cardin, who is the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

On Sunday, Putin said Trump had confirmed to him he was willing to mend ties with Russia. „The president-elect confirmed he is willing to normalize Russian-American relations. I told him the same.“

Trump’s campaign had been hit with many controversies since its inception in early 2015. But the real estate tycoon still managed to stun the world by defeating the heavily-favored Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, in the November 8 election.

Trump will take office as the 45th US president in January.

Horrors of War in Aleppo – November 18

 

This is a war documentary, VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES, VIOLENCE AND POSSIBLE WAR CRIMES.

“War Diary” project | Aleppo, Syria | November 17th – 18th 2016

 

Rescue operation conducted by Syrian, Russian militaries in east Aleppo

The Syrian and Russian militaries conducted a heroic operation this weekend to rescue two families trapped in jihadist-controlled east Aleppo.

Using Russian technological advances, the two militaries were able to pinpoint the location of these two families and sneak past enemy lines to rescue the civilians.

Footage of this east Aleppo operation was captured by the Russian media this weekend; this video can be seen below.

Civilians in east Aleppo have been restricted from leaving their besieged neighborhoods by the jihadist rebels, despite claims by the U.S. State Department that the Russian and Syrian government’s are behind this humanitarian crisis.

Translation for the vdeo below:

Syrian government representatives organised a welcoming ceremony for two civilian families who had managed to flee to the government controlled western parts of Aleppo from the opposition-held eastern districts of the city, Saturday.

SOT, Civilian (Arabic): „It is very difficult to live there under the blockade. There is no food, no water. There is no rice, no lentils, no grains. It is impossible to imagine how difficult it is there. Life is like hell. A kilogram of rice costs 1,000 Liras. It is impossible to live this way, so we decided to leave. To get out of there at all costs. Here is a state, security, you can live, work, and there is no life there – only death. We could not keep on living there.“

SOT, Civilian (Arabic): „Before I found myself blocked here, I was there. There the terrorists tell the people that the army will lead you to prison and so on. Previously, I was here and said that nothing had happened to me. Certainly, if you are an offender and if there are some allegations against you, then yes. But if you respect yourself, your country, your army, no one will come for you, you will be safe. I said this to everyone there, and I think that they – terrorists – wanted to arrest me.“

SOT, Civilian (Arabic): „It was very difficult to leave. We decided to leave because it was very difficult to live there. We were oppressed there, there was no food, ourselves and the army were blamed. The terrorists have no understanding of what a blockade is. They have everything for themselves, for their families, they get assistance, the representatives of international organisations also have everything. Only civilians have nothing. They are under a real blockade. They say if you want to get a bowl of rice – go to the front and fight. That is their attitude towards us. That is why we were forced to leave. Thanks Allah, the Syrian Army welcomed us, Russian soldiers, we left that place, thank Allah, everyone is alive.“

For Washington, Destroying Syria is a Bipartisan Agenda – by Tony Cartalucci

With a new president coming into office, hopes for a break in the Syrian conflict are abound. However, these hopes are likely misplaced. Recent US designs for the destruction of Syria began unfolding, not during the administration of US President Barack Obama, but in fact during the presidency of George Bush, and were merely continued, and clearly expanded upon under President Obama.

Pundits and policymakers on both the “left” and “right” of the Western political spectrum have made arguments for continued, even expanded US war with Syria, simply behind the smokescreen of varying partisan narratives. In the end, however, the Middle Eastern nation’s overthrow – and failing that – its incremental and systematic division and destruction, remains Washington’s ultimate endgame.
