Haaretz ^ | 4-15-2018 | Haaretz

Posted on 04/15/2018 1:52:25 PM PDT by Colonel Kangaroo

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Sunday that the United States would not pull its troops out of Syria until its goals were accomplished.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Haley listed three aims for the United States: ensuring that chemical weapons are not used in any way that pose a risk to U.S. interests, that Islamic State is defeated and that there is a good vantage point to watch what Iran is doing.

Go read Trump’s posts and then read hers. They are continually consistent. She might say something before him or vis versa depending on how the communications team wishes to lay it out to the public but they are consistent. And they are also consistent with Sara Sanders position as well.

As I said to you before, it is unfortunate that you have no idea how your own government works and how communications are done through the government. Have you even heard of the term “talking points”?

Not one of McQueen's best.

Are you even capable of a rational discussion or do you just toss out insults like 'you love war'?

“candidate Trump was correct when he said that we squandered $6 trillion over there and only made things worse.”


You’re out of date. His newest plucked out of the air number is $7T. God only knows where he got that number from. We’ll only have spent $11T from 2001 to 2018 on defense, plugging in $700b a year from 2016 to 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States $7T is 2/3 of defense spending. Is Trump saying that 2/3 of our defense spending has been on Iraq and Afghanistan? How does he justify his calculations? Or is Trump beyond measly details such as numbers?

Syria has no place in the top 10 of American (MAGA) priorities list.

No. I am not going to shut up and I am not going to let you and others away with trying to suggest a lower official, such as a UN Ambassador, would go rogue with her comments on Syria. Her statements are the key talking points from the adminstration and she is not doing anything different than Sarah Sanders or any other communications person representing the administration.

You might wish to consider taking a crash course on how governments communicate.

“She [Saudi Arabia] has Uncle Sugar’s nuts in a vice; the petro dollar..!”

Exactly. The US has this little arrangement with Saudi Arabia - we take care of their military/geographical interests and they write their oil contracts with other countries in dollars. So all the countries that buy oil from Saudi Arabia have to stack up on dollars so as to pay off on their contracts. This makes other trade transactions easier to do in dollar denominations and helps make the dollar the dominant international currency.

Transactions done in dollars have to pass through some facet of the US financial system - so if the US wants to punish a country, by denying it access to the US financial system (which has become internationalized), it can do so to great effect.

So - supposed the US decides to pull out of the Middle East. And the Saudi’s decide it would be wise to hedge their bets - by writing lots of contracts in yuans (the petro/yuan), giving China much more financial clout? What then?

Nikki was a bad pick. I like Trump, but picking this squawkbox was a big mistake.

He can do better.

It's not hard, lots of it is just cut and paste and knowing where to do it.

Sites are even setup to let you do just that.
