Why spend ourselves to death and risk the lives of our soldiers when others will step in? We were never needed in the first place.
Utter and total nonsense. The German soldiery does what it can with a will, but there is only so much that can be done when one lacks bullets, spare parts for vehicles, and adequate manpower. Then there are the work hours: unlike peace keeping, peace making is a 24/7 activity — the team cannot be required to only work 9-5, M-F with regular rest and meal breaks. Much as we respect them, there is no way the Germans could have done what we did... and the situation is not anywhere near ready for peace keeping like on the Israeli-Lebanese border.
[VoltaireNet] The German Defense Minister and President of the CDU, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, caught her partners and allies off-guard when, on 21 October 2019, she announced her intention to deploy an international military force in Syria. Her mentor, Chancellor Angela Merkel, was the only one in the loop and voiced immediate support.
Her tossed-off announcement gave rise to a flurry of questions: What would be its legal basis? Would it be an initiative of the European Union, NATO or the UN? Would it intercede between Turks and Kurds or between Turks and Syrians?
It would seem that after the Franco-German Defense and Security Council meeting of 16 October 2019, Germany decided to rekindle the old project outlined in the book New Power, New Responsibility. Elements of a German foreign and security policy for a changing world. As prescribed therein, NATO would entrust the management of Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa to the European Union under German leadership. This strategy was quietly embedded by Ursula von der Leyen in the 2016 White Paper on German Security Policy issued by the Bundeswehr. Closely associated with Angela Merkel, Ms. von der Leyen became president of the European Commission where her staff is heavily sprinkled with German nationals.
The proposal for military deployment in Syria was automatically rendered obsolete on the following day, 22 October 2019, with the sealing of the Russian-Turkish agreement. However, it denotes the will of some European elites to seize the imperial role which Washington is backing away from. They're welcome to it. I look forward to protesting them the way they did to us.
Imperial role?? Someone is playing with funny chemicals again.

The Germans have a lot of Syrian "refugees" that don't appear to pass muster to stay. Maybe having troops in Syria will help with repatriation operations?

Voltaire Network is run by that Anti-American lefty nutbag Thierry Meyssan.
And European Conservative, who not only served in the German military but has a son wearing the uniform, as I recall, agrees that it is nonsense. Please don’t submit pieces from this site anymore, Herb.
John Kelly, the former White House chief of staff who also headed Homeland Security, wants Democrats who have criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents for enforcing the law to "go to hell."
Asked by Larry O’Connor for his podcast about the long list of liberal House and Senate members who want to abolish ICE, Kelly, a former Marine Corps general, said, "They can go to hell. These are good people."
He added, "The members of Congress who say those kinds of things, first of all, they don’t believe it, but they can go to hell because those people are doing within the law and within humanity exactly what they are supposed to be doing, and they focus on illegal aliens that are criminals."
Kelly, who at Homeland Security was the top immigration officer, also ripped "sanctuary cities" for protecting illegal immigrants who are charged with crimes.
"The sanctuary cities, it’s just astounding, but it’s political, it has nothing to do with reality. You know, ’Trump’s a bad guy, everything he does is a bad guy. He’s anti-immigration.’ He’s not," said Kelly, explaining that the nation lets 1.1 million legal immigrants in every year.
He added, "Illegal aliens are a different story entirely, and as I used to say to the Congress all the time, ’If you don’t like what we’re doing, or ICE is doing, or what DHS is doing, then change the law. But don’t rant and rave to me about how these are bad people. These are good people.’"
Wow that’s pretty blunt. And I like it!
I also like how he defends Trump, noting that he’s not anti-immigration as Democrats like to portray him.
Kelly also suggests that Democrats who are against ICE don’t even really mean it, that it’s all politics. He’s probably right about that. But whether the mean it or not, it is their position and they must be defeated.
Posted as a comment last evening by our HaMossad leModiʿin uleTafkidim Meyuḥadim liaison fella:
[American Greatness] The weekend raid that resulted in the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was named after Kayla Mueller, an American aid worker killed in Syria in 2015 while being held captive by the sadistic ISIS leader. During his Sunday morning announcement from the White House, President Trump twice invoked Mueller’s name in addition to the names of other Americans murdered under the Islamic State’s ongoing reign of terror. According to reports from some of his escaped victims, Baghdadi took Mueller as his secret bride in 2013. "We were told Kayla was tortured, that she was the property of al-Baghdadi," her parents said in an August 2015 interview.
Mueller was raped repeatedly by the ISIS caliph, then killed in February 2015 during a coalition strike on the compound where she was confined.
After the U.S. confirmed Mueller’s death, President Obama issued a statement. "ISIL is a hateful and abhorrent terrorist group whose actions stand in stark contrast to the spirit of people like Kayla. No matter how long it takes, the United States will find and bring to justice the terrorists who are responsible for Kayla’s captivity and death."
Obama, however, did not bring those terrorists to justice; nearly five years later, it was Donald Trump who made good on that promise. But thank Gaia he was able to make his NCAA bracket picks. We have that at least
Mueller’s parents thanked the president for finally taking out their daughter’s tormentor.
"I still say Kayla should be here, and if Obama had been as decisive as President Trump, maybe she would have been," Marsha Mueller, Kayla’s mother, told the Arizona Republic on Sunday. The former president, who famously referred to the al-Qaeda offshoot as a "JV team" in 2014 shortly before ISIS declared a caliphate, fumbled his response to its growing threat in the final years of his presidency. Obama admitted during the G7 meeting in June 2015 that his administration did not have a "complete strategy" to fight ISIS and that the details, including cooperation with our allies, were "not worked out."
But in 2016, rather than successfully hunting down terrorists including Mueller’s captors, Obama and his top national security officials hunted down Trump campaign aides. Baghdadi’s death should be a reminder‐an infuriating one at that‐of how the Obama administration, particularly the CIA and FBI, squandered vital resources in service to a politically motivated investigation into Trump and his presidential campaign rather than focusing their efforts on the legitimate threats facing the country.
Trump alluded to that malfeasance in his press conference on Sunday. "When we use our intelligence correctly, what we can do is incredible," Trump said while commending intelligence operatives who helped locate the ISIS madman. "When we waste our time with intelligence that hurts our country because we had poor leadership at the top, that’s not good."
Trump, of course, was referring to former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former FBI Director James Comey, the "Praetorian Guard" that laid the trap for Team Trump in 2016. As ISIS continued its murderous rampage in the Middle East and parts of Europe that year‐including the Bastille Day truck attack in France that killed 86 people and wounded hundreds more‐the most powerful intelligence professionals in the United States were surveilling Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.
[ZeroHedge] No wonder Democratic Party bosses and mainstream media are trying to bury presidential contender Tulsi Gabbard. She is the only candidate, perhaps the only politician in the US, who is telling the American public exactly what they need to know about what their government and military are really up to: fighting illegal regime-change wars, and to boot, sponsoring terrorists for that purpose.
It didn’t come much clearer nor more explicit than when Gabbard fired up the Democratic TV debate this week. It was billed as the biggest televised presidential debate ever, and the Hawaii Representative told some prime-time home-truths to the nation: Uh huh - ZH Bullshit already in the second paragraph. Actually: CNN drew 8.3 million viewers for 2019’s fourth Democratic debate this month. That was the lowest tally thus far in the race leading up to the 2020 presidential election
"Donald Trump has blood of the Kurds on his hands, but so do many of the politicians in our country from both parties who have supported this ongoing regime-change war in Syria that started in 2011... along with many in the mainstream media who have been championing and cheer-leading this regime-change war."
The 38-year-old military veteran went on to denounce how the US has sponsored Al Qaeda terrorists for its objective of overthrowing the government in Damascus.
It was a remarkably damning assessment of US policy in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East. And it was by no means the first time that Gabbard has leveled with the American people on the brutality and criminality of Washington’s so-called "interventions".
The other 11 Democratic candidates on the stage during the TV debate looked agog after Gabbard’s devastating and calmly delivered statement. All the others have proffered the false narrative that US forces are in Syria to "fight terrorism". They deplore Trump’s announcement last week to pull back US troops from northeast Syria because, they say, it will undermine the fight against Islamic State (IS or ISIS) and other Al Qaeda affiliates. They also condemn Trump for "betraying Kurdish allies" by his partial troop withdrawal.
President Donald Trump talks about "ending endless wars" and "bringing our troops home". But he still premises his views on a credulous belief that the US under his watch "defeated ISIS 100 per cent". In that way, he essentially shares the same corny view as the Democrats and media that America is a force for good, that it is the "good guys wearing white hats riding into the sunset".
On the other hand, Gabbard stands alone in telling the American people the plain and awful truth. US policy is the fundamental problem. Ending its regime-change war in Syria and elsewhere and ending its diabolical collusion with terror groups is the way to bring peace to the Middle East and to spare ordinary Americans from the economic disaster of spiraling war debts. American citizens need to know the truth about the horror their government, military, media and politicians have inflicted not just on countries in the Middle East, but also from the horrendous boomerang consequences of this criminal policy on the lives and livelihoods of ordinary Americans, including millions of veterans destroyed by injuries, trauma, suicide, and drug abuse.
Following the TV debate this week, it seems that Gabbard won the popular vote with her truth-telling. A major online poll by the Drudge Report found that she stole a march on all the other candidates, winning approval from nearly 40 per cent of voters. Top ticket candidates Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden were trailing behind with 7 per cent or less.
Gabbard has clearly struck a deep chord with the US public in her honest depiction of American wars.
Despite her shattering exposé and seeming appreciation by the public, most mainstream media tried to bury her after the TV debate. Outlets like Vox and CNN declared that Warren was the winner of the debate, whose talking points were mainly about domestic policy issues. Like the other candidates, Warren plies the propaganda narrative of US forces "fighting terrorism". Vox even slated Gabbard as "a loser" in the debate and claimed she had made "blatantly false" statements about the US’ role in Syria.
Other mainstream news outlets chose to ignore reporting on Gabbard’s demolishing of the official propaganda about American wars. Earlier this week, CNN and the New York Times smeared her as a "Russian asset" and an "apologist for Assad", referencing a visit she made to Syria in 2017 when she held talks with President Assad.
The Democratic National Committee is claiming that Gabbard does not have sufficient support in polls it deems worthy for her to qualify for appearing in the next TV debate in November.

Ending its regime-change war in Syria and elsewhere and ending its diabolical collusion with terror groups is the way to bring peace to the Middle East
More sophomoric tripe from anonymous paranoids. I don't see the wisdom of keeping a substantial forward presence in Syria, but it's simply retarded to assert that this presence is "diabolical." ISIS is diabolical. The Iranian mullah are wicked and thoroughly corrupt. Our troops are none if the above.
The other idiocy in this addled rant are the twin delusions that Peace Is At Hand in that region that thrives on constant war and that it's only the evil genie, the Great Satan, that's preventing rainbows 'n' fairies from sprouting across the region.

Ok, ok....comparing apples to oranges. I get that. But once again, Switzerland. No wars or conflicting foreign entanglements in over 700 years. They just keep to themselves and mind their own business.
Is there something we might possibly learn from these very private and industrious people ?

Wasn't much of a war when the French Revolutionary armies overran the place. Looting the banks worked out fine. They 'reorganized' it as the Helvetic Republic. Further 'reorganization' occurred after their civil war.
#6
Thanks for that interesting link P2k. The food would have been much more interesting, but thankfully, we did't have to have French assistance with "central government" and the "looting of our banks."
Our own elected officials are accomplishing all of that on their own.

OK. I admit it. I'm I simple man. I think in simple terms. If I see a neighbor beating his kids, starving them and attacking other neighbors, I going to do something about it. No one has ever convinced me that ignoring a thug is the best solution. International politics is the neighborhood writ large.
Ok, so you DO know that the US government supported Al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria, right? Please tell me you know this. Because if you don't...WTF? Their videos were everywhere. The local affiliate of Al-Qaeda in Syria is called Al-Nusra.
International politics is the neighborhood writ large.
This is pure, 100% globalism. The United States is NOT repeat NOT world police. Who asked us to meddle in other countries business? Who?
The job of the US government is to take care of the American people. At best, we can serve as a positive example for others to follow. Reagan's "shining city on a hill" metaphor. What we do NOT do is go and get involved in every petty dispute between cultures that have been fighting for thousands of years. That's the way not just to fail, but go broke doing it.
Imagine that the US had spent six trillion dollars improving itself in the past 18 years instead of on useless wars. We would have free college education for every citizen, a border wall 30 feet high, free puppies and kittens for everyone and jetpacks. But what did we get instead? Graveyards full of good people from middle America and a skyrocketing debt.

^ Moi, I like Switzerland, a lot. If I had to live anywhere outside the US, Switzerland would be my go-to country.
Great culture, thoroughly democratic, great health care, normal upstanding people with a relatively low tolerance for bullshit and identity politics.
Gorgeous country, great food, clean air, healthy environment, super-easy to get to any of a dozen lovely historical capitals.
But they have something we don't have: culture homogeneity. They're all white christian Europeans with a deep commitment to the legacy of Roman / Christian Central Europe. They love their heritage. They will fight for their heritage, and they mean it: IIUC, all able-bodied males--every one of them-- are for all purposes in the reserves, trained and armed and ready to defend their nation at, so to speak, a minute's notice.
Now compare these healthy, focused, quietly proud Spartans with our Shitshow sadsack once-and-former republic. Yes, we have our own Helvetians who love our heritage and would fight for it, many of whom came to the country from abroad and chose this higher path.
But American culture at large and far too many Americans are, like Big Mike and his fellow global grifter husband, shitty opportunists who hate our heritage and run it down every chance they get. Those Americans have zero in common with proud Helvetians.
Culture matters. Hugely. Unless/until you replace the Grifter class with tens of millions of Helvetians, there's no way we could emulate the Swiss.

The first cogent argument for being involved in ME (except oil that no longer relevant) I ever heard.
#16
#2 This might also have something to do with it, an armed citizenry:
The regulations of the Swiss militia system stipulate that the soldiers keep their own personal equipment, including all personally assigned weapons, at home.
#18
Our culture hates everything that the Swiss, in their quietly proud unassuming way, still revere:
- the Christian/European cultural heritage
- democratic federalism + respect for the nation's constitution
- the rights and privileges of citizenship (as opposed to open borders and "global citizen" nonsense)
- a rugged, armed citizenry well-trained in the arts of national defense
#19
Plus, Switzerland is a fortress that doubles up as a paradise on earth. The dual-use rigged-to-blow architecture can hide armaments and explosives, the regular security drills show a keen sense of security and a vigilant mindset.
#20
Bernie Sanders' "free college" program that was widely mocked as unaffordable? $60 billion a year. Trump's wall? $25 billion one-time. This is pennies compared to our endless, useless foreign wars.
Honestly it would have been a better idea to send C-17s to Afghanistan to bomb them with pallets full of $100 bills. It would have worked better and been cheaper.

Be a small, unimportant country (known before modern banking as specializing in cheese, lovely mountain hikes, and mercenaries because they had nothing else to trade) that’s impossible to march an army through — not to mention all the villagers are armed to the teeth? ;-) I believe one or another of the Roman generals commented about barbaric Helvetians climbing up on their mountainsides to drop things on invaders...
Raclette is a traditional Swiss meal that consists entirely of cheese softened next to a fire, eaten with bread, pickled pearl onions and possibly a bit of sausage — not even so ornate as fondue, which says something.
#24

All true... except for the healthcare part. I found that out the hard way when my father got food poisoning in Crans-Montana. The healthcare was something out of a Benny Hill sketch.

[DAWN] NAWAZ Sharif’s illness managed to overshadow the Azadi march temporarily. The bail in quick succession from two high courts ‐ the Islamabad High Court has only granted bail till today when the case will be heard again ‐ has been a source of relief for many concerned about his health and safety, as well as about the political system being driven by vengeance.
Yet, it is unfortunate that the ensuing debate continues to be focused on the immediate. Much of the conversation is focused on Nawaz Sharif ...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts... ’s health, deal rumours, an unequal system in which the health of a few, powerful prisoners matters more than all of them, and what or who is responsible for the deterioration in the former prime minister’s health. Few focused on the larger issue of a political elite so obsessed with the past that its present is consumed by ill-thought-out efforts to punish old wrongdoings by securing the convictions of its predecessors.

[DAWN] THE public opening of the Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... Biennale 2019 on Sunday was marred by controversy when unknown men forced the partial closure of one of the installations at Frere Hall.
In hindsight, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise.
The ’offending’ exhibit by Adeela SLearned Elders of Islamn was a requiem for the hundreds of victims of alleged ’encounter specialist’ Rao Anwar. Evidently, the disgraced former SSP still enjoys the support and protection of certain quarters capable of acting secretly and with impunity. Instead, the evening ended with a hapless KMC official attempting to defend the indefensible before a presser held by members of civil society in protest.
Worse still, by yesterday morning, the rest of the exhibit had been vandalised. Later that evening, the KB19 team released a craven statement distancing itself from the artwork.
Among the feeble excuses made by some against this exhibit’s display is that it tarnished Pakistain’s and its law enforcement’s image. But it was this fiasco and the events which inspired the artwork that do actual damage to our credibility. Such claims are premised on the notion that art should be milquetoast and apolitical ‐ unless, of course, its politics are nationalistic.
What happened at Frere Hall is a chilling illustration of how insecure the powerful are of their own populace, the desperate lengths to which they will go to police them, and the surrender and collusion of the country’s elites in the face of such pressures. The organisers should recall that trying to delink art and politics invariably backfires, as recent controversies involving Contemporary Istanbul and the Whitney Biennial have shown.
The relentless assaults on artistic and academic freedom in Pakistain by depoliticising and controlling all areas of knowledge and cultural production must be resisted. Politics is not a crime; free expression is a constitutional right. Now that the KB19 team has spoken, those responsible for this blatant censorship and vandalism must reveal themselves. Citizens have a direct stake in public art, and are owed an official explanation.
[LI] In October 2019, CodePink took another in a long line of trips to the Islamic Republic of Iran on the premise of promoting peace.
The latest trip, even more so than the prior trips, amounted to a whitewash of Iranian human rights violations, particularly towards women. The CodePink group was led by National Co-Director Ariel Gold, and included several of her Ithaca (NY) anti-Israel activist friends, including Beth Harris and Amber Gilewski. (In the featured image, these three are circled, from left to right, Harris, Gold and Gilewski.)
The group supplicated themselves by wearing hijabs and chadors at a time Iranian women are being imprisoned and murdered for protesting forced veiling. The group also exploited the small remnant of a once thriving Jewish community, mostly driven into exile by Islamist persecution, to provide cover for the deep genocidal anti-Semitism of the Mullah regime.
Unlike Gold’s trips to Israel, where she disrupted prayers at the Western Wall and participated in protests, there were no public displays of protest against the repressive Iranian regime or at Muslim places of worship.

[TTAG - ht AOSHQ] From the Firearms Policy Coalition . . .
Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced a victory in its case against the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Mayor Bill Peduto. FPC was joined by co-plaintiffs Firearm Owners Against Crime (FOAC), Firearms Policy Foundation (FPF), and three individual gun owners. The plaintiffs were represented by Joshua Prince of Civil Rights Defense Firm, P.C. The opinion and order issued by Judge Joseph M. James, holding that "Ordinances 2018-1218, 2018-1219, 2018-1220 are void and unenforceable," is available online at PittsburghCase.com.
"I am delighted that Judge James' decision today appropriately struck down the City of Pittsburgh's unlawful firearm ordinances and signage," said attorney Joshua Prince. "The City's gun control sought to eviscerate the inviolate right of the residents of the Commonwealth to keep and bear arms and ensnare law-abiding citizens through a patchwork of laws. Today, Judge James made clear that Mayor Peduto and the Pittsburgh City Council are neither above the law nor a special class of citizens that may violate the law with impunity."
"We look forward to Judge James issuing a decision on Allegheny County Sportsmen's League's contempt petition against the City of Pittsburgh and District Attorney Zappala filing criminal charges against Mayor Peduto and the City Council Members who enacted these illegal ordinances," Prince concluded.
"Pennsylvania's preemption statute serves an important purpose, to ensure that Pennsylvanians are not subjected to a patchwork of illogical and inconsistent rules and regulations pertaining to the firearms they chose to employ," explained FPC Director of Legal Strategy, Adam Kraut.
"The City of Pittsburgh, along with support from the billionaire funded Everytown for Gun Safety, decided to waste City taxpayers' money by knowingly violating Pennsylvania law," Kraut continued. "Fortunately for those who favor individual liberty and the rule of law, the Court held what everyone already knew to be true‐state law ‘preempts any local regulation pertaining to the regulation of firearms.' "

Mayor Santy Clause whiskers and the "peoples city council" got kicked in the nads by the judge. The DA is shirking his duty to charge them with disobeying the state preemption law. So glad I left the Peoples Democratic Republic of Pennsyltuckey.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
