keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted October 11, 2019 The Kurds were not at Normandy so they are of no importance. Diplomacy at its most radical. Taking his thread then, they only came in because of Pearl Harbour which is in Hawaii so where are they on the ladder of impotence, let alone importance.

Surfer 1,547 Posted October 11, 2019 The former US Ambassador to Ukraine is testifying to Congress today: the administration's efforts to prevent testimony is failing. " Yovanovitch appeared before Congress on Friday under a subpoena from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, after the White House tried to block her from coming voluntarily" Said said in part - "We also believe that... our gov't will have our backs and protect us if we come under attack from foreign interests. That basic understanding no longer holds true. Today, we see the State Dep't attacked and hollowed out from within." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) The current US Ambassador to the European Union, who is at the center of the Ukraine investigations and who was blocked from testifying to Congress by the administration earlier this week, has now agreed to testify to Congress next week according to his lawyers. “Notwithstanding the State Department’s current direction to not testify, Ambassador Sondland will honor the Committees’ subpoena, and he looks forward to testifying on Thursday,” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-impeachment-inquiry/e-u-ambassador-sondland-testify-impeachment-inquiry-defying-state-department-n1064966 Edited October 11, 2019 by Surfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have been told to stand down, not fly air cover, and now pull the 1,000 troops out. Oh and now sending 1,800 to Saudi Arabia. This is nothing to do with the EU and you know it, it’s about US deliberately stabbing the Kurds in the back after they fought ISIS for us. The Kurds have been betrayed before and now have allied with Assad and de facto with Russia. Maybe that’s the outcome the President wanted, although he now says he didn’t, but we know he has a serial history of lying every day, and ISIS that he claimed he had defeated, is back.

Surfer 1,547 Posted October 14, 2019 Meanwhile, the former administration Russia policy advisor Fiona Hill is testifying in closed sessions in Congress today. Like others before her, the White House has been trying to block testimony. Fiona Hill was subpoenaed, per official working on impeachment inquiry, because of “attempts by the White House and the Administration to direct witnesses not to cooperate with the House’s impeachment inquiry and efforts by the White House to limit any testimony that does occur.” And - Republican congressman Matt Gaetz, one of the most aggressive supporters of the President, has been prevented from attending that meeting as he is not a member of any of the relevant committees - just one more small sign that the rules of law and procedure are starting to exert themselves, albeit very slowly and very late. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/gop-rep-matt-gaetz-ejected-from-secret-impeachment-meeting " .... my constituents want me actively involved in stopping the #KangarooCourtCoup run by Shifty Schiff ."

But you people yell when the US gets involved with other countries and now you cry because the US walks away. So where is the EU. Why do they not step up to the plate and take over the role if the Americans wish to withdraw. Where's the EU leadership? Why aren't the Europeans putting together a multi-national military task force to support the Kurds instead of all this hand-wringing. Because the EU are a bunch of pathetic wimps who can't do a thing unless the yanks or the Brits are involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted October 15, 2019 “I am not part of whatever drug deal Sondland and Mulvaney are cooking up,” ~John Bolton.
