[KhaamaPress] Trump’s National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien said Washington would reduce its forces in Afghanistan to 2500 by early next year.
President Trump said in a tweet, "We should have the small remaining number of our BRAVE Men and Women serving in Afghanistan home by Christmas!".
A deal agreed upon between the United States and the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... in February of this year marks the departure of full foreign forces from Afghanistan by May 2021.
Early reports indicate Trump and other U.S officials have said the strength of their forces will be reduced in Afghanistan between 5000 and 4000 troops by November of this year.
It is reportedly unclear whether trump was giving orders or verbalizing a long-cherished dream.
*Sigh* He does do that...
(Rooters) Trump’s NSA advisor O’Brien in an event at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, said "Ultimately, the Afghans themselves are going to have to work out an accord, a peace agreement. ... It’s going to be slow progress, it’s going to be hard progress, but we think it’s a necessary step. we think Americans need to come home."
The advisor also hinted, that the United States is currently having fewer than 5000 troops in Afghanistan and this amount would be reduced by 2500 in the coming months.
Previously, Special Envoy to Afghanistan Peace, Zalmay Khalilzad, said as the troops level reaches to 4500, the United States administration will take decisions when ties and actions are evaluated.
Since the U.S war on terrorism in Afghanistan, around 2400 American troops have bit the dust and thousands of others have been maimed.
On Thursday, AFP reported that NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... chief Jens Stoltenberg insisted that members will decide together on when to leave Afghanistan, in response to President Trump's tweet.

[APA.AZ] "There are representatives of many nationalities living in Azerbaijan. They live like one family. Azerbaijan is known as a multicultural country worldwide. This is acknowledged by the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... , as well as other international organizations operating in the humanitarian field. Azerbaijan is the land of tolerance, ethnic and religious tolerance. Thousands of Armenians live in our country today and they are our citizens. They also live normally, like all other nationalities. Of course, I am sure that after the end of this war and conflict, the Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh today will live with us. Azerbaijan is a multinational country. This has been the case throughout history. I think this is our great advantage," President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has said in an interview to CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... -Turk television on October 7, APA reports.
"Representatives of other nationalities do not live in Armenia. Armenia is one of a handful of countries in the world where 99 percent of the population is Armenian. All other nationalities were expelled from there. First of all, the Azerbaijanis were expelled, then the rest. Armenia is a mono-ethnic state, and this once again proves that it is a racist country. Representatives of no other nationality can live there. They are either unable to withstand the torment and leave or they are expelled by force," the head of the state noted.

[APA.AZ] "The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... is not only an ally and the closest country for us. Turkey is a fraternal country for us, just like Azerbaijan is for Turkey. The flag of Turkey is a native flag for us, as native as the flag of Azerbaijan. But, of course, this conflict, the clear position of Turkey during these battles, the statements of Mr. President, my brother His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... , the support provided to Azerbaijan, the words that "Azerbaijan is not alone" in people’s letters coming from Turkey have, of course, further increased the love of Turkey," President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has said in an interview to CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... -Turk television on October 7, APA reports.
"You are also witnessing that the flags of Turkey and Azerbaijan are waving together in all our regions. At the same time, the flags of Turkey and Azerbaijan are waving together in Turkey today. The video footage shown to me is also very touching and we are glad that our Ottoman Turkish brothers there decorate cars and buildings with the flags of Turkey and Azerbaijan. In other words, it is a symbol of true brotherhood and solidarity. There is no other country that would support Azerbaijan like Turkey. There is no country in the world that would support Turkey the way Azerbaijan does. This is our great asset," the head of the state noted.

[IsraelTimes] Interior minister says investigation does not show far-right apparatus that some critics have alleged has taken root.
Germany has seen a string of far-right scandals involving police and military in recent months.
The security agencies of the country’s 16 states, which have a combined 276,000 employees, investigated 319 suspected cases of internal far-right extremism during a time period of over three years, from January 2017 to March 2020.
Meantime, federal security agencies reported 58 alleged cases among their 109,000 employees during the same time period, while the military’s counter intelligence agency reported 1,064 suspected cases among its 260,000-person military and civilian workforce.
Based on those initial reports, 34 people were eventually confirmed as being far-right murderous Moslems. Twenty-two were coppers, 11 were in the military, and one case was found at the country’s customs authority.
Hundreds of the reported cases are still being investigated, and in several proceedings have been undertaken to discharge the suspected individuals.
Seehofer called the findings "a first status report only" and said the next step would be a thorough analysis of the situation by the domestic intelligence agency.
Most far-right offenses uncovered in the first overview were connected to expressing racist and anti-Semitic sentiment or Nazi ideology in online chat groups, he said.
[DAILYTIMES.PK] The Lahore High Court (LHC) has acquitted a Christian man who spent about seven years in jail on the accusation of blasphemy ...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran... , a charge that led to communal rioting that saw more than 120 houses in a Christian-majority area in Lahore city burned down by an enraged mob in 2013.
Sawan Masih, 40, was arrested in 2013 on blasphemy charge following an argument with a Moslem man in Lahore.
A two-member bench of the high court the other day acquitted Masih of all charges, with a full verdict detailing the reasons for the acquittal to be issued at a later date.
Masih was convicted and sentenced to death under blasphemy laws by a lower court in 2014. The court had convicted him for insulting Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), a charge that carries the death penalty under law.
In 2013, a day after the accusations against Masih surfaced, a mob attacked his Christian-majority neighbourhood of Joseph Colony, in Lahore’s Badami Bagh area, in what was then one of the worst incidents of violence around the blasphemy laws.
More than 120 homes were burned down, in addition to a church and several shops, as hundreds of protesters armed with sticks, pipes, and stones ransacked the colony before setting it on fire.
In 2017, all 115 suspects who were under trial for the arson were acquitted by a Lahore court for want of evidence.
[IsraelTimes] Relatives of Jewish news hound seeking to keep Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh on death row following his acquittal earlier this year of grisly beheading; proceedings could take years.
Pakistain’s Supreme Court on Monday accepted an appeal by the family of slain American journalist Daniel Pearl seeking to keep a British-born Pak man on death row over the beheading of the Wall Street Journal news hound.
The court delayed until next week hearing the appeal over the lower-court acquittal of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh,

[IsraelTimes] Fatah Secretary General Jibril Rajoub meets Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... chief Ziyad al-Nakhaleh in Beirut to discuss "mechanisms for achieving [Paleostinian] reconciliation," according to the official Paleostinian Authority WAFA news agency.
"Fatah is ready to achieve reconciliation and hold elections to renew the legitimacy of the components of the Paleostinian political system," Rajoub says.
Recent weeks have seen a flurry of talks between various Paleostinian factions to mend the rifts between Fatah, Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, and other Paleostinian groups. PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... led a meeting of Paleostinian faction chiefs in early September at which both Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... and al-Nakhaleh spoke.
Many Paleostinians remain skeptical that the talks will lead to national unity. Several attempts to reconcile the various Paleostinian factions since the 2007 rift between Fatah and Hamas have fizzled out.
Islamic Jihad first split from Fatah in 1994, when it left the Paleostine Liberation Organization in protest of the Oslo grinding of the peace processor between Israel and the Paleostinians.
Al-Nakhaleh has also remarked that Islamic Jihad is conditioning Paleostinian unity on joining a "PLO that does not recognize Israel," a demand unlikely to be granted.
[IsraelTimes] Israel and Jordan sign an aviation agreement to allow airlines to cross between the two countries’ territories en route to various destinations.
Coupled with Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ’s recent agreement to allow flights between Israel and Gulf states to fly over its territory, the deal is expected to shorten regional flight paths and help airlines save fuel.
Once again making the wrong decision because they are stupid as well as evil, and because even the EU doesn’t care like it used to.
[IsraelTimes] Report says European countries told Abbas to take the money Israel is holding on the Paleostinians’ behalf, but he refused without written commitment annexation won’t happen.
The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... will not expand aid to the Paleostinian Authority until the PA accepts tax revenues collected on its behalf by Israel, according to a report Wednesday.
The Paleostinians have refused to take hundreds of millions of dollars worth of tax revenues Israel is holding for it over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pledge to annex parts of the West Bank, which was shelved as part of the normalization deal inked last month with the United Arab Emirates.
The Paleostinians have also severed security and civilian coordination in protest.
Citing European diplomats and Israeli officials, the Axios news site said the Paleostinians have requested loans from the EU and several unspecified European countries in recent weeks to help pay salaries, as the Ramallah-based PA faces a financial crunch from its refusal to accept the tax dollars and the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic.
The EU, La Belle France, Germany, Britannia and Norway told Abbas that they now view annexation as being off the table and that he should therefore accept the $750 million held by Israel’s Finance Ministry. But the PA leader refused to do so unless he receives a written commitment that Netanyahu won’t move forward with extending illusory sovereignty over West Bank lands, the report said.
EU foreign policy chief Josef Borrell also phoned Abbas and told him Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... would not offer financial assistance or loans until the PA accepts the taxes, according to the report, and urged him to resume cooperation with Israel. Diplomats quoted by the news site said Abbas was evasive on this point.
Jordan and Egypt conveyed similar messages, Israeli officials said.
In July, the EU announced a €23 million ($27 million) grant to the PA, helping it to partially pay salaries from the month before.
The EU, which is the Paleostinian Authority’s largest donor, has sent some €2.8 billion ($3.3 billion) in direct aid to the PA since 2008. Counting additional financial commitments to Paleostinian civil society and to the United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... Relief Works Agency (UNWRA), which also benefit Paleostinians, the European Union has committed over €1.11 billion ($1.3 billion) between 2017 and 2020 alone.
Tax revenues collected by Israel have always constituted a large percentage of the PA budget. Since the coronavirus pandemic began, however, they have become even more essential: The domestic tax base has vanished, with businesses closed and much of the population unemployed and at home. Meanwhile, ...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth ordered the entire 614th quadrant searched. The Green Lensman must be found!... foreign donors have been busy tending to the crisis in their own countries.
The PA was unable to pay its employees for months, finally mustering enough money to pay parts of May salaries in early July.
[IsraelTimes] Hezbollah’s political wing says in a statement that Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... ’s upcoming talks with Israel on a longstanding disputed maritime border do not in any way constitute normalization with the Jewish state.
"Despite all the talk that has been going around, the negotiating framework deals with our southern maritime borders and reclaiming our land, so as to delineate our national illusory sovereignty," the Loyalty to the Resistance® Bloc says.
"It has absolutely nothing to do with ’reconciling’ with the greedy Zionist enemy, nor with the normalization which some Arab countries have adopted. These countries never believed in or practiced resistance against the Nation’s enemy for a single day."
[IsraelTimes] The main officer charged in the killing of George Floyd, the African American man whose death sparked a mass protest movement, is released on a million-dollar bail, court records show.
The 44-year-old white officer is to face trial in March along with three former colleagues over Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, which triggered the largest US anti-racism movement since the 1960s.
Derek Chauvin was filmed on May 25 pressing his knee on handcuffed Floyd’s neck until he passed out on the street.
