Trump blamed China and Latin America for America's major problem with drug abuse. According to some global data, America was a major inventor and consumer of prescription drugs and recreational drugs. Lots of drugs were made in China (e.g., fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid) and Latin America, and then the supply chain ended in America (aka, the consumer or end user).
For many decades, the US struggled to stop the drug cartels throughout Latin America. Colombia was a major producer of recreational drugs, but Colombia was also a close partner or side-kick of the Zionist US empire, thus, Colombia got away with lots of drug farms and drug exports. In addition, the US empire’s double-standard rule-by-law generally allowed Wall Street, Hollywood, wealthy &/or influential people (including their kids), and middle-class white Americans to enjoy recreational drugs. However, less wealthy and/or less socially connected Americans who sold and/or consumed recreational drugs were much more likely to be punished by law enforcement and the court-of-law, and their punishments were more severe (e.g., being sent to hardcore prisons).
President Trump promoted the Johnson and Johnson anti-depression drug called Spravato, but the drug was unproven with highly debatable test results. The drug allegedly functioned in a similar manner to opioids. People were unsure about why Trump promoted Spravato, while criticizing the opioid epidemic throughout America. During the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump also promoted other drugs of highly debatable effectiveness, recommended highly dangerous injections with disinfectants, and thought about UV-light exposure inside the human body.
Due to many years of the war on terror, Afghanistan’s opium production and addiction rates increased a lot. Before the war on terror, extremist Muslims (e.g., Taliban) in Afghanistan were effectively wiping out recreational-drug farms and usage throughout Afghanistan. After President Bush Jr started the war on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq (still searching for WMDs & 9/11 terror connections), many people in Afghanistan depended on opium sales to make a living in the chaotic, war-torn nation. According to the United Nations, the large majority of the world’s opium and heroin came from Afghanistan. During the Trump presidency, Afghanistan had a decrease of its drug farms (e.g., fewer and/or smaller drug farms), but the drug farms also became more efficient, thus, Afghanistan was still a top producer of drugs. Because opium and other drugs were sold on the international market, Afghanistan’s increased opium export directly and indirectly decreased the price of opium for buyers around the world.
Regarding Latin America and Africa, Trump generally treated these nations as shit-holes of minimal importance. Latin America and Africa were rich in natural resources, but the people did a very inconsistent job of developing their communities, thus, their communities suffered lots of diverse problems for economics, government, education, law-and-order, etc. Throughout thousands of years of history, the native communities of sub-Saharan Africa (i.e., black Africa), some parts of Southeast Asia (e.g., Papua New Guinea), and aborigine Australia typically ranked at the very bottom of intelligence comparisons based on quantity and quality of technology, academic studies, scientific research, government organization, military might, overall quality-of-life, etc. Native America’s intelligence comparisons were only 1 to 2 steps above the very bottom. However, these facts were politically incorrect, hateful, bigoted, racist, and unacceptable according to self-righteous Zionist liberals and other people who glorified extreme egalitarianism or cultural Marxism. In addition, western Europe’s colonialism worsened the situation for the natives in Africa, southeast Asia, Australia, and America. America’s imperial foreign policy of crony capitalism and regime changes further worsened the situation. Venezuela appeared to be the only Latin American nation Trump cared about, because Venezuela had an extremely high concentration of oil plus other natural resources.
2020 Jan 5 (Wed): During Trump’s State of the Union address, which was filled with propaganda that glamorized Trump and his loyalists, he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, who was sort of surprised and proud of the award. Shortly before this presidential address, Rush Limbaugh publicly admitted he had lung cancer in an advanced stage. Rush Limbaugh had a history of proudly abusing drugs and other hypocrisy, but Trump thought Rush Limbaugh was a great role model for America.
President Trump owed a lot to Rush Limbaugh, because, beginning in the 1990s, Rush spent many years “dumbing down” many Americans and created many potential voters for Trump's future presidency. For the Republican Party, Rush was a living legend of a fat slob who bullshitted his way through life, and profited a lot from it, because his delusions-of-grandeur appealed to other similar white hypocrites littered across America. Rush smoked a lot, marketed cigars/cigarettes, and boasted that smoking was actually harmless or not-so-bad, thus, he was wasting away with cancer way before, during, and after the Trump’s presidential address. That was the huge difference between trash-talking like Rush (or Trump) versus reality. Proud idiots did NOT understand long-term analysis, widespread effects, and detailed examinations. Proud idiots depended on unstable motions, impulsive arrogance, and cherry-picked nonsense.
Rush Limbaugh also had a history of abusing opioids, and pretending everything was OK or the addiction problems were horribly exaggerated. Rush might have contributed to America's epidemic with opioid abuse alongside Purdue Pharma (a Jewish corporate peddler of Oxycontin starting in the 1990s). Rush allegedly used prostitution services in Latin America (& elsewhere) and allegedly paid to access promiscuous dates throughout his international travels, and some of these females might had been underage --- Rush proudly hinted about this. Because Rush was a proud hypocrite, he bragged about his supposedly superior Christian white values, and blamed liberals and non-whites for ruining the morality, well-being, and culture of America. Rush successfully brainwashed many Americans into thinking the superstitious Zionist-Christian Republican Party vs self-righteous Zionist-liberal Democrat Party (of cultural Marxism) were the only viable choices.
Campaign Trump said trade wars, especially against China, were good and easy to win. During his first 4 years in the White House, Trump's trade wars had been increasing US trade deficits around the world. Meanwhile, when compared to the US economy and the global economy, China’s economy still grew faster with more qualitative upgrades. This could be easily proven by uploaded videos created by China’s natives; uploaded videos created by foreigners living in China for education, business, and tourism; international records for patents and intellectual property; professional news; and various international studies.
On message boards for pro-Trump websites like Breitbart News, Zero Hedge, Fox News, and so forth, Trump supporters quickly celebrated their trade war victory against China. These Trump supporters insisted their prediction would happen like this: Trump would order China to stop cheating the international trade system, China was too corrupt and dumb to fix itself, Trump would cut off America’s unbeatable export of agricultural produce to China, China would suffer mass starvation and crippling national chaos would break out, and America would easily defeat the rise of China. In reality, China was one of the biggest agricultural producers in the world, China decreased its imports of US agricultural produce, and China increased its imports of agricultural produce from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and other regions. US farmers ended up depending on more US government aid to compensate for their drop in exports.
During the summer of 2020, the southeast region of China experienced abnormally massive amounts of fresh water flow from the Tibetan plateau, which resulted in floods along various rivers’ nearby sites. China’s Three Gorges Dam accumulated record amounts of water. On Internet forums, Trump supporters predicted China’s Three Gorges Dam was incorrectly designed and poorly constructed, thus, the dam would collapse and cause crippling flood damages throughout China. As of 2020 November to December, China’s Three Gorges Dam was holding strong and generating lots of clean electricity from hydropower.
Regarding the US economy and his trade war against China, Trump said, "I am the Chosen One," while looking toward the sky.
2020 August: Trump ordered the US branch of TikTok to sell its US assets to a US-approved buyer (e.g., Microsoft) within a few months. TikTok was a social-media company founded and based in China with international offices and customers around the world. TikTok allowed its users to upload brief videos (e.g., 15 seconds long) about dancing, singing, statements, and any other stuff. TikTok rapidly became one of the most popular social-media apps in the entire world, and its idea was copied by Facebook’s Instagram’s Reels and Google’s Youtube’s Shorts. Trump accused TikTok of being a threat to the privacy rights of Americans.
Previously and allegedly, American teenagers used TikTok to promote a prank/scam against a Trump rally located at Tulsa, Oklahoma and scheduled on 2020 June 20. The teenagers signed up to attend the Trump rally, but purposely did not show up, which led to predictions of high attendance at the rally, but, in reality, the rally had an unexpectedly low attendance.
However, the TikTok company had the support of China’s government, used business negotiations that eventually amounted to nothing (i.e., stall tactic or diversion), and initiated lawsuits to repeatedly postpone Trump’s command.
The Trump presidency tried to convince the international community to sanction China’s hi-tech telecomm company called Huawei and other electronics companies based in China, but the large majority of the world refused Trump’s order. Most of the world saw China’s electronics as an alternative to the Zionist US empire’s electronics, which made the world more resistant to the empire’s sanctions, hacks, surveillance, espionage, price manipulation, biased search results on the Internet, censorship, and other trickery.
Campaign Trump criticized & ridiculed President Obama for agreeing to a multi-national nuclear deal with Iran, and the deal was supported by the EU, Russia, and China. Trump and the Republican Party claimed they had or would create better deals, but they provided proof. Republican Congressmen (who represented a small majority in Congress) rejected Obama's nuclear deal with Iran. Then President Trump quickly canceled the nuclear deal, but Trump insisted that Iran still had to follow the nuclear deal. Then President Trump escalated sanctions, verbal/written disputes, and military operations against Iran, which led to Iran shooting down a US drone, which led to America preparing attacks against 3 sites in Iran, but, according to Trump, he canceled the attacks 10 minutes before the "cocked & loaded" attacks, because Trump said the disproportionate attacks would have killed 150 Iranian persons. Trump said the war against Iran would have been "obliteration like you've never seen before". Other sources said Trump was fully informed of the attacks' consequences well before Trump initially authorized the attacks.
While Trump repeatedly attempted to sanction, verbally bully, hack into, spy upon, foment rebellion throughout, and bribe the allegedly hyper-dangerous Islamic Iran into compliance with imperial commands, Trump continued to send lots of weapons deals and other business deals to the extremist Islamic Saudi Arabia (which had been conducting a clumsy and inhumane invasion against Yemen and vicious proxy-terrorist rebellion in Syria). Furthermore, Trump increased America's full range of direct, indirect, and qualitatively superior welfare to apartheid Israel (which was constantly trying to starve and displace Palestine; hypocritically attacked all of its neighbors but claimed to be on defense; engaged in pedophile networks in Colombia, America, Europe, and elsewhere; slandered and ridiculed gentiles for being anti-Semitic, bigoted, racist, Nazis, terrorists, and other sanctimonious libel; and expects extra special privileges from all gentiles worldwide).
In 2019 March, various news sources revealed that Saudi Arabia and its nearby vassal state the UAE (United Arab Emirates) had been giving US-made weapons to Al Qaeda (which was a major terrorist organization and huge threat to America’s freedom and justice) and other militant factions in Yemen for the purpose of creating proxy fighters and bribing militants into peace agreements. Needless to say, this exchange had been a failure. Some of these US-made weapons ended up in the hands of (violently) competing factions and Iran (which was supposed to be the greatest threat to liberty and human rights in the region).
The Trump administration constantly threatened to intensify global sanctions against Iran and any international entity that traded with Iran. Then Iran counter-threatened with sanctions on US-related trade in and around the Persian Gulf. Then the Trump administration said Iran had no right to close off the Persian Gulf, and the US military would ensure free trade existed throughout the Persian Gulf. In other words, the Zionist US empire wanted to unilaterally decide who was allowed to benefit from free trade and who must be starved, choked, and strangled by sanctions.
During and before the year 2019, various reports claimed Iran has been stockpiling weapons in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and/or Lebanon. Some of these weapons include missiles that could reach Israel. During and before 2019, the US and Israel had been bombing various sites in Iraq and Syria, and the justification was that these sites were terrorist facilities or locations that housed anti-US, anti-Israel forces.
2019 May and June: Two incidents in the Gulf of Oman involved cargo ships being attacked by unknown factions, and there were zero casualties. The second incident in June occurred while Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was in Iran to deescalate disputes between Iran and the USA. Prime Minister Abe wanted to establish a document-based communication system between America’s President Trump and Iran’s government (represented by Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei), but Iran’s government said Trump was untrustworthy and rejected this line of communication. America accused Iran of launching secret attacks against cargo ships. Iran insisted it was innocent. Later on in June, Iran shot down a US military drone that allegedly entered Iranian airspace. The US insisted its drone was operating in international airspace.
During President Obama's first term, Trump repeatedly accused Obama of trying to start a disastrous war against Iran in order to win re-election. In reality, President Obama improved or de-escalated relations with Iran. During late December to the first few days of January, many Iraqis protested and rioted against the US military's and civilian government's presence inside Iraq. The exact details were lacking, but around the first few days of 2020 January (the beginning of the new year), the US (and possibly Israel's secret operations) bombed multiple sites in Iraq for at least 2 days in order to take out alleged terrorists or Iraqis who wanted the US to leave Iraq. On 2020 January 2 Thu, which is the first day's bombing of various locations, at least 1 bomb dropped at a Baghdad airport resulted in the death of Iran's General Soleimani plus other men, and other men were captured by US soldiers.
Trump, his White House staff, and some Democrat Party members said Iran's General Soleimani was a terrorist mastermind who worked with terrorists/rebels throughout Iraq and elsewhere, and this terrorist/rebel-network recently killed at least one US contractor and injured other US personnel, and they have a history of killing and injuring hundreds to thousands of US personnel and other people --- presumably innocent people, not chess pieces for imperial strategies and tactics. The Trump presidency (and other US government officials) did NOT provide any plausible evidence for their accusations. This bombing occurred ~1 year before the election of the next US president, and Trump initiated his presidential re-election efforts during and immediately after his first presidential campaign. In addition, this bombing existed during the Democrat Party's attempt to impeach Trump, thus, the bombing could be a diversion by Trump.
The US military provided constant updates on the situation to Trump, while he attended a luxurious party at a golf resort with his family and some Republican Party members.
Hours before Iran's General Soleimani was assassinated, the New York Times had an article about killing the general in Baghdad with a hypersonic missile. The idea was promoted by former Obama National Security Council (NSC) official Steven Simon. According to US mainstream news, the assassination was done by a drone releasing a guided bomb.
Right before the bombings, Iran's General Soleimani openly visited Iraq with the public support and permission from the Iraqi government. He was leaving a Baghdad airport with two cars containing Iraqi police/militia/soldiers when they were bombed by a US drone. US special forces quickly examined the wreckage to ascertain identities, took pictures of Soleimani’s mutilated corpse, and shared some pictures with Fox News, but Fox News decided NOT to publish the pictures. Iraq’s government said the US military did NOT have Iraq’s permission to conduct any of these military operations (and many other previous missions, and the same applied for Israel).
Within hours of the assassination of Soleimani, hundreds of thousands of people across Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Syria, and elsewhere protested against these bombings and assassination by the Zionist US empire, celebrated Soleimani's life, and mourned over Soleimani's death. Just at one location in Iran, hundreds of thousands of people attended Soleimani's government-backed funeral, and a relatively tiny stampede broke out killing dozens and injuring hundreds. The Iraqi parliament also voted for the US military to completely leave Iraq, but previous similar votes (in Iraq, South Korea, and Japan) were canceled, redacted, ignored, or rejected by the Zionist US empire, which had a history of boasting democratic elections were the best type of government, and the US the world leader of democratic majority-tyranny, but only if the election results generally favored the US empire.
President Trump said the US military would not leave Iraq unless Iraq paid back the US for a very expensive air base, and Iraq must act very friendly towards the US. Trump also threatened, “sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame.” During the presidency of Bush Jr, the US government forced the Iraqi government to export Iraq’s vast oil-and-gas reserves only in US dollars (i.e., petrodollars), and to save lots of Iraqi money in US banks. This meant the US government could deny Iraq access to its own money. Other US government officials also said the US military presence in Iraq was critical for being a force of good and fighting against terrorism.
The Trump presidency used Switzerland and Saudi Arabia as middlemen to communicate with Iran. Trump's White House told Iran and the world that the US did NOT want to escalate disputes with Iran. Iran announced it would no longer accept any restrictions to its nuclear enrichment, and Iran would seek vengeance for the assassination. Trump warned Iran to avoid anymore threats or attacks against American personnel and assets, or else the US military could attack 52 sites, including cultural sites, that were critical to Iran. The number 52 represented the 52 American hostages taken by Iran decades ago when the US failed to maintain regime change in Iran. According to international law, cultural sites should NOT be attacked or vandalized.
The EU nations provided mixed responses to the US bombings, thus, the Trump presidency complained about inadequate support from the EU. President Trump's Secretary of State Mike "the pompous-pig-out" Pompeo said, "Frankly, the Europeans haven’t been as helpful as I wished that they could be. . . . the Brits, the French, the Germans all need to understand that what we did [bomb various sites in Iraq and assassinated Iran's General Soleimani], what the Americans did, saved lives in Europe as well. We’re trying to get Iran to simply behave like a normal nation."
In 2019 Oct, Trump wanted US troops to leave northern Syria and the Kurds there, even though Turkey had plans to invade northern Syria and possibly conquer the Kurds. Trump wrote on Twitter: “As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). . . . ”
2020 January 5 Sun: At/near a US military base ( Manda Air Strip) in Kenya near its border with Somalia, African rebels (from the Al-Shabaab group) killed 1 US soldier and 2 US military contractors. The African rebels also damaged 6 aircraft belonging to the US military contractors.
On 2020 January 6 Mon 7:04 AM, Saudi Vice Minister of Defense Khalid bin Salman used Twitter.com to reveal his meeting in the White House with President Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner, Robert O'Brien (Trump's national security adviser), and Victoria Coates (O'Brien's deputy). Before this tweet by Salman, this White House meeting was a secret. Salman used the tweet to announce the Saudi government was working with the US government to deal with regional and international challenges. America's mainstream journalists criticized President Trump for being less transparent or more secretive than the extremist Islam of Saudi Arabia.
The Trump presidency blocked Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif from entering a United Nations (UN) meeting (which is based in New York City). The US delegation at the UN tried to pass a policy criticizing Iran and Iraq for supporting protests and riots against US military bases in Iraq, but China and Russia vetoed that vote.
2020 Jan 7 Tue evening: Iran launched at least 10 missiles at 2 or more US military bases inside Iraq. The US government and corporations greatly restricted civilian activities in and around Iraq plus Iran. Iran said if the US escalated even more, then Iran would also escalate. A few hours later, a Ukrainian airliner (model Boeing 737) took off from Iran and crashed after ~2 minutes of flight. All 176 passengers and 9 crew members died. Iran's initial investigations said the airliner probably crashed due to technical problems. Then Iran admitted its military accidentally shot down the airliner with a ground-to-surface missile. The Ukrainian airliner had a strange flight path. It took off from an Iranian airport, a few minutes later, its radio communications were deactivated, it turned around and flew low back toward the Iranian airport, and then it was shot down.
2020 Jan 8 Wed: Inside the luxury and security of Washington, DC, Trump tweeted "All is well! . . . " He also gave a pointless speech filled with lies about how the United States is internationally unbeatable in regard to economics and politics. Later on, news revealed that Iran's government told Iraq's government about Iran's plan to launch missiles into US military bases inside Iraq, some Iraqi government officials and workers told the US government about Iran's plan, and the US government used espionage and long-range radar to detect Iran's missiles. Then the US soldiers and their allies (some European soldiers and Iraqi soldiers) had time to escape into extra-fortified positions, scatter apart to minimize potential casualties from explosions, or leave the base. Earlier reports claimed Iran’s missile counter-attack targeted empty space and low-priority zones, because Iran feared the US military. However, later reports showed that Iran's missile counter-attack devastated various structures (e.g., housing units, storage facilities, roads, runways, and open ground) and created zero injuries and zero deaths. Some reports from the US said Iran’s missile counter-attack only killed and/or injured Iraqis.
Iran’s missile counter-attack was the worst attack or among the worst attacks on multiple US military bases in the Middle East for many years, and most likely far worst than any possible attack that Soleimani was allegedly plotting. Stated differently, Trump said his assassination of Soleimani prevented devastating attacks on US military bases, but the assassination actually resulted in major attacks on at least 2 US military bases. In other words, Trump’s solution and its blowback were actually vastly more destructive than Trump’s imaginary problem. Simply put, Trump’s solution actually resulted in much more damages than his hypothetical problem.
2020 Jan 9 Thu: At Baghdad, Iraq, Iraqi militia fired 3 small rockets at a US embassy. No injuries or deaths were reported. Israel allegedly dropped more bombs against Iran-backed soldiers and militia in Syria and Iraq.
2020 Jan 10 Fri: In the previous day (Jan 9 Wed), Trump said Soleimani and his terrorist network had imminent plans to launch attacks against a single US embassy, which was why Trump authorized the drone strike against Soleimani. Trump also gave a presentation about these bombings to some Congress-people, and some Congress-people said the presentation was vague and lacked evidence, but Trump said other people told him "it was the best presentation they've ever seen". Congress's House of Representatives (led by the Democrat Party’s small majority) also voted to restrict the war powers act or the president's ability to start a war, and the votes were almost entirely based on party lines: Democrats for the restriction, Republicans against.
Also on Jan 10 Fri, Trump went on Fox News and said Soleimani's terrorist cells had imminent plans to attack 4 US embassies. Trump provided zero evidence of these accusations, because, according to Trump, the evidence was a military top secret, his imaginary beliefs are good enough justification, and anyone who doubted Trump's military decisions was aiding the enemy.
2020 Jan 11 Sat: At southern Afghanistan, 2 US soldiers were killed and 2 more were injured when their vehicle drove over/near a bomb planted by the Taliban.
2020 Jan 13 Mon 8:09 AM: Trump tweeted, “The Fake News Media and their Democrat Partners are working hard to determine whether or not the future attack by terrorist Soleimani was 'imminent' or not, . . . , but it [imminent attack by Soleimani] doesn’t really matter because of his horrible past!”
2020 Jan 17 (Fri): The US military admitted 11 soldiers were injured by Iran’s missile counter-attack against 2 US military bases in Iraq. These injured soldiers suffered minor injuries from the shock waves caused by missiles. On 2020 Jan 24 (Fri), the Pentagon said 34 US soldiers suffered minor to major brain injuries due to Iran’s missile counter-attack.
2020 Jan 20 Mon: The US mainstream media released a report that tried to justify and glamorize how the US government and its special corporations had been working covertly to support a proxy rebellion in Iran. The covert operations involved special electronic hardware and software to help proxy rebels in Iran secretly communicate with each other and with the US government and its special corporations. The communications provided training and instructions for the proxy rebels, negative information about Iran, access to Iran’s sensitive sites, coordinating rebellions inside Iran, internationally complaining about Iran’s crackdown against proxy rebels, and anything else to slander and destabilize Iran. A few days later, two men on motorcycles used rifles to assassinate another Iranian general in front of his home.
2020 Jan 24 (Fri): Huge amounts of Iraqis protested against the US military presence in Iraq. US mainstream news barely reported about this, and claimed the protesting Iraqis numbered in the 100s to thousands to hundreds of thousands. Foreign news and social media showed various videos and pictures of the Iraqi protests (which were extremely massive), and estimates claimed at the very least 1 million Iraqis participated in the protests throughout Iraq. The US government (including President Trump) insisted they have the moral and economic rights to stay in Iraq. In the following days, some of the protests got violent. At least 1 rocket was launched at a US embassy/military-base, and that caused 1 injury.
Contrary to President Trump’s statements, the assassination of Soleimani did NOT decrease attacks against the US military in the Middle East and elsewhere. On or before 2020 Jan 28 Tue: The US military lost 2 aircraft in Afghanistan. An electronic warfare airplane crashed in Ghazni province, Afghanistan. Then a US military helicopter transporting US infantry (allegedly US Rangers) was sent to the crash site, but the helicopter was shot down. Then another US military helicopter (reportedly carrying US Navy SEALs) was sent to both crash sites.
2020 Jan 29 Wed: The US military said 50 US soldiers suffered minor to major brain-injuries (e.g., concussions) due to shock-waves from Iran’s counter-attack of missiles. On Jan 30 Thu, the US military said 64 US soldiers had concussive brain trauma caused by Iran’s missile counter-attack. Most of the concussive brain traumas were minor injuries.
2020 Feb 10 Mon: The US Defense Department said Iran’s missile counter-strike caused concussive brain injuries for 109 US soldiers. The large majority have returned to duty. So far, Trump had ignored and downplayed this situation, which was good, because an additional escalation between the US and Iran could involve major battles or a big war. Russia and China would probably provide aid to Iran. The US would ask for aid from a reluctant EU (European Union) & a Saudi Arabia that was already struggling with re-conquering Yemen. The battles or war would be totally counter-productive for improving world security, involve a lot more destruction + casualties + deaths, and create more refugees and desperate immigrants moving into the EU, which already has major problems with incompatible refugees and dysfunctional immigrants from the Middle East and Africa.
2020 May: During the first half of May, Venezuela defeated a group of mercenaries based in Colombia and made of American veterans, Venezuelan rebels, and Colombian useful idiots. The mercenaries tried to sneak into Venezuela by small boats, but they were detected, some of them were killed in combat, and most of them were captured by Venezuela’s security forces. The US government insisted it had nothing to do with the mercenaries. During the second half of May, the US Navy threatened to attack any Iranian Navy ship or boat that approached too closely to any US Navy ship. Then Iran sent 5 oil tankers to Venezuela, which violated sanctions that the US placed on both Iran and Venezuela. The US government said Iran’s trade with Venezuela was a distraction from restoring democracy in Venezuela and Iran. The US government also sent more military and police aid to Colombia. The US aid was designed to help Colombia with decreasing Colombia’s rapidly increasing illegal cocaine production and export. Even though Venezuela’s illegal drug business was many times smaller than Colombia’s, the US punished Venezuela with a $15 million bounty on Venezuela’s President Maduro, more sanctions, more sabotages by proxy rebels, and more aid to puppet leader Guaido.
2020 Oct 27 Tue: Fox News reported about the Trump administration’s policy for weapon sales between Iran and Venezuela. Elliott Abrams (Zionist Jew), the State Department Special Representative for Iran and Venezuela, revealed to Fox News that the Zionist US empire would NOT accept weapon sales between Iran and Venezuela. The empire would use every method to stop weapon shipments from Iran to Venezuela, and, if the weapons were successfully sent into Venezuela, then the empire would destroy the weapons.
2020 November 12 Thu: The long-established diplomat James Franklin Jeffrey gave an interview to the DefenseOne.com news website. In 2016 August, James Jeffrey and 49 other Republican Party members signed a letter that stated Donald Trump lacked the qualifications to be the president and commander-in-chief of the USA, thus, these 50 signers would NOT vote for Trump. However, Trump still accepted James Jeffrey into his vast presidential team of domestic and foreign bureaucrats. On Nov 7 Sat, James Jeffrey announced his retirement.
In 2018 December and 2019 October, Trump wanted to completely withdraw from Syria, but James Jeffrey plus many other government officials, military officers, and civilian analysts thought withdrawal that would greatly weaken America’s influence in the Middle East. James Jeffrey and others believed that a stalemate in Syria against Russia (and in many other parts of the world) was a much better option than a total retreat, because a total retreat would eventually result in a very bloody war versus the advancing nation. Thus, James Jeffrey and others used confusing arguments to persuade Trump to keep US soldiers in Syria.
During the interview, James Jeffrey talked about how and why he misled President Trump about US troop numbers and operations in Syria. James Jeffrey said, “We were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there”. In other words, James Jeffrey understated the number of US soldiers in Syria to persuade Trump that the US was gradually withdrawing from Syria and conducting minimal missions in Syria.
James Jeffrey also said, “What Syria withdrawal? There was never a Syria withdrawal. When the situation in northeast Syria had been fairly stable after we defeated ISIS, [Trump] was inclined to pull out. In each case, we then decided to come up with five better arguments for why we needed to stay. And we succeeded both times. That’s the story.”
2020 late August: Donald Trump’s Secretary-of-State Mike Pompeo traveled to North Sudan for the purpose of: (1) persuading the Sudanese government to normalize relations with Israel, (2) convincing the Sudanese government to pay $330 million to the victims of terrorism (e.g., Al-Qaeda), and (3) removing the Sudanese government from the Zionist US empire’s list of state sponsors of terrorism. The Sudanese commoners and government rejected Pompeo’s blackmail.
In addition, the UAE (United Arab Emirates) recently signed a peace deal with Israel, which improved relations with the USA, thus, the UAE wanted to buy some multi-role, stealth F-35 Joint Strike Fighters from the USA. However, Israel opposed this deal, thus, the US gov’t rejected the UAE’s military request. Israel’s Settlement Affairs Minister Tzachi Hanegbi said, “We oppose the sale of even one screw of one plane of the stealth fighters to any country in the Middle East, if we have peace with them or not.” In response, the UAE canceled an upcoming meeting with Israel.
During this period, Mafioso Pompeo the Zionist fatso of the Gospel according to cheating, lying, and stealing was probably very desperate. He tried to blackmail North Sudan. He created additional plans to send more direct and indirect welfare to the greater apartheid project of Is-real-hell, while America raged and burned over BLM at home. Poll numbers for the 2020 elections over the presidency, Congressional seats, and state offices favored the Democrat Party. The Zionist US empire had a sloppy, inconsistent policy over COVID-19, while most nations were recovering better. The Democrat Party continued to investigate the con-games of Donald Trump and his network of fraudsters. The Zionist US empire still struggled to establish puppet governments in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Bolivia, etc. Iran improved its ties around the world. North Korea looked stable. China and Russia were doing (relatively) well.
2020 September: Trump boasted of an amazing, historic peace deal between Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Bahrain. In reality, this peace deal was another scam by the White House bank-Trump-cy. This fraudulent peace deal allowed the greater apartheid project of Isn’t-real Israel the Is-real-hell to further abuse and wipe-out Palestine, and it created a partnership or alliance to further antagonize Iran with sanctions, slander, proxy rebels, surveillance and espionage, and eventual regime change.
The UAE and Bahrain were satellite states (i.e., vassal nations) of the extremist Islam of Gaudi Barbaria (aka, Saudi Arabia), which was conducting a brutal and clumsy invasion against Yemen for many years, and this invasion was supplied and supported by NATO members from the USA to Canada to the UK. Iran supported the Yemeni rebels. The Saudi kingdom of Islamic theocracy also had an extremely long-standing historical rivalry against Iran for dominant influence over the Middle East and North Africa. The Zionist US empire supported Saudi Arabia, even though the Saudis had a lot more Islamic extremism than the Iranians, because Saudi Arabia used its vast oil-and-gas reserves to support the empire’s petrodollar scams around the world, but Iran wanted diverse financial solutions for global trade. The Saudi government had somewhat friendly ties with Israel, because the Zionist US empire promoted this uneasy friendship, but Iran refused to recognize the apartheid and other hypocrisy of Israel and its Zionist Jewish communities around the planet.
During a Fox News interview, Trump said he wanted to assassinate Syria’s President Assad, because Assad allegedly used deadly gas bombs against his own people twice, but Trump’s Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was against the idea, because it was too risky or the results would be too unpredictable. Way back in 2018 September, during a White House meeting, Trump said there were no discussions of assassinating Assad, and Trump said news stories about this possible assassination were works of fiction by fake news.
During Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, Trump made conflicting statements about ending the pointless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and about annihilating the enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan. As of 2020 November, Trump’s war policies in Iraq and Afghanistan were pretty much the same thing as Obama’s and Bush’s. The difference was in the words of Trump, but the actual actions were very similar. According to various reports, Trump repeatedly shuffled US troops into and out of Iraq and Afghanistan, while boasting of decreasing troops, removing humanitarian restrictions on US soldiers’ combat capabilities, ending the war, conducting successful attacks, and returning victorious. Trump did not reveal much regarding the operation of mercenaries and secret operations (CIA and special forces for various military branches) in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. Overall, Trump increased the number of air-to-ground strikes in Afghanistan (also Yemen and Somalia), and also used the MOAB (mother of all bombs) for the first time. The target for MOAB was allegedly underground bases for terrorists in Afghanistan.
Like Obama, Trump opposed the international movement for BDS (boycott, divest, and sanction) against the greater apartheid project of Israel (aka, Is-real-hell, Isn’t-real, piss-real, or shit-real). During the Obama presidency to the Trump presidency, the federal government and state governments created laws that forbid BDS against Israel (while establishing laws for international BDS against Iran, Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, Russia, China, and many other foreign entities at individual levels to institutional levels to national levels). If a person or organization supported BDS against Israel, then the US federal and state governments would punish that person or organization. This punishment would work in partnership with Israel and the European Union. However, these anti-BDS laws were a clear violation of the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights’ First Amendment (e.g., religious freedom, free speech, free press, & free protest), Fourth Amendment (e.g., property rights against unreasonable seizures), Amendments 5 to to 8 (person’s rights under courts-of-law), Amendments 9 to 11 (the Constitution was a restriction of the federal government, and not of states and persons), Amendment 13 (e.g., slavery or unfair forced labor), and Amendment 14 (e.g., restriction of state governments from unfairly treating persons). Unfortunately, the US government at federal and state levels had rule-by-law that was created, redacted, interpreted, and enforced by the US oligarchy and its loyal servants, thus, double-standard rule-by-law was the norm across the USA and global partners.
Throughout Bush’s, Obama’s, and Trump’s presidential terms, various Iranian scientists (especially nuclear-research scientists) and military officers were assassinated inside and outside of Iran, and a few assassinations were unsuccessful. The US government and Israel took responsibility for some assassinations, but not all of them. Sources from the US, Israel, and Iran believed at least some of the assassinations (& failed attempts) were conducted by proxy rebels/terrorists such as the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK). As expected, Iran vowed vengeance and justice for each of these surprise attacks, but Iran was accused of terrorism by the US and Israel. As you could see, one nation’s freedom fighter was another nation’s terrorist. These assassinations and attempts in Iran did NOT stop Iran’s nuclear research and disputes against Israel and the US. Instead, Iran used these covert attacks as justification for more research into nuclear technology. In other words, the foreign policy of the US and Israel was actually increasing, not decreasing Iran’s nuclear research, even though the US and Israel had repeatedly insisted Iran’s nuclear research was an immediate threat to the world since the 1990s.
2020 late September to 2020 early November: A war broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The two nations had a decades long dispute over territorial claims. The brief war resulted in territorial gains for Azerbaijan, and then Russia stepped in to manage peace negotiations and to enforce a peace deal. Azerbaijan’s northern border was next to Russia, Azerbaijan’s southern border was next to Iran, and Azerbaijan’s western border was next to Georgia and Armenia. The majority of Azerbaijan’s military budget was spent on importing Israeli weapons. Armenia had a Christian majority, and Azerbaijan had a Muslim majority. According to some news, Israel also supported Azerbaijan’s territorial claims into Iran. Based on incomplete data (e.g., complaints plus social media pictures and videos), the Azerbaijan military committed war crimes against Armenia’s civilians and soldiers. Then the Armenian military committed war crimes against Azerbaijan’s soldiers.
Brief modern history of Armenia: During World War 1 (1914 to 1918), the Ottoman Empire (now called Turkey) attempted genocide against its Armenian residents, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds-of-thousands to over 1 million Armenian civilians. The Ottoman Empire distrusted its Armenian residents, and believed they were disloyal to the Ottoman Empire and more friendly with the Russian Empire. World War 1 involved the Ottoman Empire versus the Russian Empire (and many other factions). Turkey denied the existence of the Armenian genocide. After World War 2 and after the 1949 United Nations’ recognition of the newly created nation of apartheid Israel, the Armenian genocide was either denied or downplayed by Israel, Zionist Jews around the world, and Zionist Christians throughout the US and western Europe. However, Israel, the international community of Talmudic self-worshipers, and Zionist Christians insisted the Jewish holocaust during World War 2 was the most severe human rights violation in world history or among the worst, thus, this Jewish holocaust deserved super extra special respect and reparations from around the planet.
2020 Dec 10 Thu: Trump boasted of leading a peace deal between Israel and Morocco, but this peace deal was a total farce. The deal was actually about the US and Israel supporting Morocco’s military expansion into Morocco’s eastern regions that seek autonomy or counter-expansion. In return, Morocco supported Israel’s apartheid and displacement against Palestine.
2020 Dec 18 Fri: The New York Times (NYT, aka Jew York Slimes) was supposed to be a top newspaper and news company for news around the entire planet, but the NYT began to cancel parts of its “Caliphate” podcast news stories, because these so-called news stories were a hoax about ISIS in Syria. These podcast stories started in 2018 April, were reported by NYT journalist Rukmini Callimachi, and were based on false stories fabricated by the fake ISIS terrorist named Shehroze Chaudhry (male; Canadian citizen with Middle Eastern or South Asian ethnicity), whose fictional terrorist name was Abu Huzaifa al-Kanadi. In 2019, Rukmini Callimachi and her co-workers at the NYT won a Peabody Award for the “Caliphate,” but it should have been a pea-brain award. Before, during, and after Shehroze Chaudhry’s collaboration with the NYT, he had a history of telling inconsistent or conflicting stories about his adventures as an ISIS terrorist in Syria, but the NYT decided to trust him anyway. In 2020 September, the Canadian government arrested Shehroze Chaudhry for telling lies about his terrorism exploits. The NYT said it would return the Peabody Award.
This news hoax was merely the tip of the iceberg. The foreign policy of the Zionist US empire was a mountainous hoax of mythic proportions. The war on terror, war on drugs, regime changes for liberty and human rights, petrodollar, and corporate cartels were really about controlling violent rebels and drug gangs around the world to (a) obey or assist the empire and (b) antagonize independent governments, autonomous institutions, and free-spirited persons. Trump was most qualified to be the con-artist narcissistic president of the empire of pretentious scams.
