Presidential Peril
I recall watching many westerns and detective programs on TV where criminals believed in their own innocence and righteousness. They could justify why they took the law into their own hands to achieve social justice or their own objectives be it land grabbing from innocent farmers or a revenge killing.
Now we have a former empire state prosecutor using the permission of the sitting president of the United States to “defend his client” in the Ukraine? More likely, according to the testimony of several credible top-level career officials, it was to persuade a the newly elected president of a nation under attack, the Ukraine, from a hostile neighbor, Russia, to investigate a political rival in exchange for releasing tax payer paid and congressionally approved military aid and an important sit down meeting in the US White House (to show US support). This is political and social extortion at the highest level of the US Executive Branch of government.
Millions of US dollars of military aid was deliberately stalled until the Ukrainian president could support the US presidents need to “dig up dirt” on his potential electoral political rival, even it it did not exist. This was all concocted to create any false campaign narrative in a desperate attempt to win re-election in 2020.
Of course, I am referring to Mr Rudy Giuliani, also former mayor of New York City during the 9-11 attack, US President Trump with his perverted sense of transparency, the integrity of Hunter Biden and therefor his father Joe Biden. Donald Trump thought that he could create a narrative of political corruption and favoritism. All of which fell apart very quickly. —Let us not forget the favoritism, shown to Donald Trump’s sons Don Jr. and Eric ostensibly running the Trump Corporation, and his daughter Ivanka and Jared Kushner, who office in the White House. Have any of these used their position for economic gain? Ivanka still runs her clothing line (and Trump ties) currently being manufactured in the Peoples Republic of China.
Meanwhile Jared Kushner is trying to bring peace to the Middle East while meeting with Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, also traveling to Quatar and Kuwait for some negotiations of what? Arms, capital financing, favors. And let us not forget that no rebuke was ever given to MBS for murdering Saudi-American journalist Jamal Khashoggi, in Turkey most likely with the collaborative eye and tacit permission of Turkish President Erdogan.
This is the same Recep Tayyip Erdoğan that Trump called the day before he ordered American troops out of Syria and is now invited to the White House. The same man who has subverted democracy in Turkey to consolidate power in his own hands. The same man who is buying major arms systems from Russia. Has Turkey, a NATO member, gone rogue? Good Reasons to invite Erdogan to visit the Trump White House?
Now Turkish and Russian troops have taken over northern Syria. Our Kurdish allies, whose intelligence gave the US the location of the ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, The same Kurds who fought the ground battle for the US troops and sacrificed 11,000 lives, 20,000 wounded to defeat ISIS, our military partners, who must now flee their homes for fear of death over an ancient fight with Turkey.
Who wins in this withdrawal strategy? 1. Syria, 2. Turkey and 3. Russia, who now is the new major military and political power in the Middle East. What a gift to Putin. The US has now sent troops to protect Syria’s oilfields from ISIS. These Syrian Oilfields were once protected by the Kurds.. The Syrians and their protector, the Russians may have something to say about this US presence. This US action has no clear military direction or allied support.
What is the true US policy and direction in the Ukraine, with Turkey and Russia? How is that all working? Apparently the US Department of State has been deliberately kept out of the loop for much of this diplomacy. Where is Secretary Pompeo in all of this? We have witnessed Trump diplomacy with his favorite dictators: Kim, Putin, Erdogan and Chairman Chi. Call it Trumpian diplomacy. Diplomacy from the White House that is totally ego-centered and perverted by power. Power corrupts. Those who do not want to uphold the Law of the Land, the US Constitution, and the democratic will of Congress will be subject to consequences. The Impeachment inquiry is getting serious.
Conclusion: Faux paus in the Ukraine, Syria, his Russian business relations, Russian election interference in 2016, failed North Korean negations , China Trade War, business lawsuits, years of tax evasion, six bankruptcies, not to mention his personal affairs (not including his second wife), groppings, payoffs, NDA agreements this is the world of Donald Trump. His level of OBSTRUCTION has become monstrous in proportion when you combine his personal and political life. Why? What does does Trump have to hide?This president has little, if any, integrity, honor, or morality. His mendacity is matched only by his awkward demand for loyalty, when he is the least loyal individual in his own administration. He is only shows fake loyalty when he can leverage it in his favor. The only reality he knows is the one he fabricates for his own protection or aggrandizement like when he puffs out his chest and proclaims his own genius. He has lied to himself and all others in his sphere of influence. Those who kowtow to his persona, will eventually fall away when the truth is revealed.
I believe that President Trumps does operate out of his own created reality. This has resulted in many political distortions, almost all on his Republican followers. Who is determining the correct course for this country? —The USA will become a perverse shadow of a true democratic republic if this Trumpian trend is unchallenged. Donald Trump is an unprecedented threat to the USA and to the world. Perhaps, Trump is an unwitting pawn to the global political mechanizations of Russian President Putin. President Putin is an adversary, who is not above using “compromat”*or any other tool in his quiver to shift global power in favor of Russia (and possibly reconstituting the USSR). Putin has a longbow to target his objectives, Trump is asking for favors. Putin is playing three-dimensional global chess, while President Trump is still playing one- dimensional checkers.
