Donald Trump thanks Pentagon chief Mark ‘Esperanto’ for ‘securing oil’ in Syria, whatever that might mean

Two years ago Trump said there isn’t enough oil in Eastern Syria to worry about. Now there is. Seriously, flip a coin and make a decision. Last week we seen where Trump was moving 1,000 troops out of Syria and over to Iraq and Kawit. I said then and I am saying again, as long as there is any oil in Syria, we aren’t leaving an ounce untapped. Trump’s puppet masters aren’t going to let him pull our troops out as long as there is a fortune to be made there. 

Russian Lawmakers Accuse BBC, Meduza, RFE/RL of Violating Election Law

Apparently there has been election meddling by the media in Russia this time. This is ridiculous. Yet nobody wants to talk about who is really behind the meddling. The look at BBC, Meduza, but they aren’t looking at who owns these companies. They are linked to the Israeli Government’s Intelligence department. But no one wants to talk about that. I will. 

What is Turkey going to do in response to US and EU sanctions?

After some looking I found that the UN (United Nations) is where sanctions are deciding upon while there is a peacemaking process going on. They aren’t the only ones who can impose sanctions as I thought, rather individual or group of countries can do this without the UN’s permission. However, the country which has the sanctions imposed upon them can sue the countries imposing the sanctions. This then goes to the International Court. That doesn’t mean all countries are going to respect the ruling of the court as we saw last year in the summer when Pompeo made it clear, we won’t respect the ruling. Here is a bonus link on Sanctions and the international court. International court of justice orders US to lift new Iran sanctions

 Venezuela won a seat on the Human Rights Council despite the temper tantrum thrown by Costa Rica, Colombia, and our lovely government. There is a clear message here. The world doesn’t acknowledge Juan Guido as president of Venezuela. They still recognize President N. Maduro as President.

And the last article is on Turkey soldiers being killed. The ceasefire apparently didn’t get passed or it is once again being ignored because on Sunday there was a Turkish soldier killed and others injured in eastern Syria.  This is getting worse by the day without a doubt and just completely stupid.
