quote:

The list of military construction projects the Trump administration is defunding to pay for its controversial border wall includes more than $770 million from an initiative started by the Obama administration to shore up European defense after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

The cuts, which include upgrades to airfields in Slovakia, ammunition storage in Poland and Special Operations Forces facilities in Estonia, come at a time when the Trump administration is also withholding $250 million in military assistance to Ukraine as it reviews whether to continue the funding program at current levels.

After reviewing the Pentagon’s list of projects being targeted, Jim Townsend, who spent eight years as deputy assistant secretary of defense for European and NATO Policy, said the European military construction projects slated to lose funding include serious “military muscle.”

“There was a school in there and a headquarters upgrade but most of the list is muscle we need,” he told Just Security.

For example, a construction project at an ammunition storage facility in Poland will lose $52 million in funding.

“To delay ammo facilities in Poland is nuts,” Townsend said. “The DOD budget is pretty big — they could have picked from a lot of other places. This is not a barber shop; this is the frontline.”

The money is being taken from the European Deterrence Initiative (EDI), which was previously named the European Reassurance Initiative (EDI) under the Obama administration. With countering Russian aggression in mind, it was designed to fund U.S. troop deployments in Europe, training and exercises with allies, the prepositioning of U.S. military assets in European countries, and improving U.S. bases and building partner capacity.

In 2019, Congress approved $6.5 billion for the effort, and in its fiscal year 2020 budget request, the Pentagon asked for $5.9 billion.

realDonaldTrump twitterde op zaterdag 04-08-2018 om 00:59:47 Almost 500,000 Manufacturing Jobs created since I won the Election. Remember when my opponents were saying that we couldn’t create this type of job anymore. Wrong, in fact these are among our best and most important jobs! reageer retweet

quote:

In December 2018, American manufacturing was ending a more than two-year tear, cheered along the way by its most prominent patron, President Trump.

But this year, manufacturing has turned south and entered what Federal Reserve data show is a technical recession, or six-month slump. It seems unlikely to recover in the near future: A major survey of U.S. manufacturing purchasing managers found a negative outlook, and the other is just a whisker away from going negative for the first time since 2009.



What happened? How did American industry contract in an era in which it receives the support and attention of the leader of the free world?

In this case, there may have been such a thing as too much support and attention. In part, U.S. manufacturing growth was slowed by Trump’s efforts to aid it: an ongoing trade war and the dissipation of a small boost from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. But it also was hit by forces that aren’t entirely within Trump’s control, such as oil prices and a global economic slowdown.

A more meta answer would be that extracting resources from the earth and fashioning them into tools, tacos and toys is a small part of the U.S. economy. In the private sector, it accounts for about 1 in 20 businesses and 1 in 9 workers, and it’s unusually vulnerable to outside economic forces.

[..]

While Trump routinely makes false statements, sometimes dozens a week, his administration has repeatedly gone even further by creating evidence to support the president's alternative reality -- in some cases marshaling government resources in the task.

It's been the pattern since the first day of his administration, when he sent out his press secretary to show edited photos inflating his inaugural crowd size. Or a few months later, when he created a commission to search for evidence of widespread voter fraud, after falsely claiming there were millions of illegal votes in 2016. (The commission was quickly dissolved.) Or in between, when he asked Congress to investigate a baseless allegation that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower.

[..]

For a president whose career has been dedicated to the motto that there is no such thing as bad publicity, Trump shows no signs of wanting the media storm to dissipate, spending a fifth day on Thursday repeatedly tweeting his defense and calling Fox News reporter John Roberts into the Oval Office to make his case.

WASHINGTON—The Justice Department has launched an antitrust investigation into four auto makers that forged a deal with California on vehicle-emissions standards, escalating the conflict between the Trump administration and Sacramento over environmental regulations.

Justice Department lawyers are seeking to determine whether Ford Motor Co. , Honda Motor Co. , BMW AG and Volkswagen AG broke federal competition law by agreeing with California to follow tailpipe-emissions standards beyond those proposed by the Trump administration, according to people familiar with the probe.

November-ish is Pelosi wel om. De tijdlijn lijkt me dit:

- November/December: Deutsche Bank kan de witwaspraktijken van Trump en zijn samenwerking met olichargen niet meer stilhouden.
- Formeel impeachmentonderzoek start kort daarna.
- Live hearings op TV in de winter. Steun voor Trump daalt.
- Impeachment door het Huis rond Maart- April (Tijdens de GOP primaries). Steun voor Trump naar dieptepunt.
- GOP in de Senaat kiest partij voor of tegen een crimineel. Either way, GOP Senatoren hebben ook een probleem.

Iran has activated a chain of advanced centrifuges to speed up uranium enrichment in defiance of a 2015 nuclear accord, a senior Iranian official said Saturday, raising the stakes for European powers struggling to prevent the deal’s collapse.

The spokesman for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, Behrouz Kamalvandi, announced the new measures at a news conference in Tehran, warning that there was little time left to salvage the deal.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said this week that Iran would set aside the accord’s restrictions on nuclear-related research and development and would expand its use of advanced centrifuges.

“These steps are reversible if the other side fulfills its promises,” Kamalvandi said, urging European nations to compensate Tehran following a U.S. withdrawal from the pact last year.

“We cannot remain in the deal unilaterally,” he said.

Nearly a week before the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration publicly backed President Trump over its own scientists, a top NOAA official warned its staff against contradicting the president.

In an agencywide directive sent Sept. 1 to National Weather Service personnel, hours after Trump asserted, with no evidence, that Alabama “would most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated,” staff was told to “only stick with official National Hurricane Center forecasts if questions arise from some national level social media posts which hit the news this afternoon.”

They were also told not to “provide any opinion,” according to a copy of the email obtained by The Washington Post.

A NOAA meteorologist who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution said the note, understood internally to be referring to Trump, came after the National Weather Service office in Birmingham contradicted Trump by tweeting Alabama would “NOT see any impacts from the hurricane.”

Een cease fire eisen voor je gaat onderhandelen is nergens voor nodig hoor! Dat regelen ze onder elkaar wel

Als je zo weinig besef hebt van wat er in deze onafhankelijke republiek speelt, blijf dan thuis.

Pence verklaarde doodleuk dat de Ieren vertrouwen moeten hebben in Boris Johnson en respect moeten hebben met wat het souvereine Verenigd Koninkrijk voor ze in petto heeft, want zij gaan wel even de dienst uit maken in Ierland NA de brexit.

GVD. In 1973! verbonden de Ieren zich seperaat van noord Ierland (UK) aan de Europese Economische Unie, en daar was een duidelijke reden voor.

Voor hemzelf niks. Hij stond er op aandringen van Trump doodleuk te blaten OP IERS GRONDGEBIED dat ze zich maar even moesten schikken naar neer de grillen van Boris Johnson. daar gaan ze echt niet mee akkoord. Zelfs een struisvogel als Pence zou dit MOETEN weten.

Dat is dus niet wat hij heeft gezegd, hij heeft gezegd dat Johnson en Ierland/EU op goede voet met elkaar kunnen onderhandelen.
Het feit dat BoJo ook geen harde grens met de Ieren wilt hebben zegt wel wat over de intenties van BoJo en Pence.
Nogmaals dit is spijkers op laag water zoeken.
Het pro EU en het anti Britse sentiment proef je heel sterk in het artikel.
