 Norway Exercise Trident Juncture 2018

練習三叉戟2018年

Упражнение Trident Juncture 2018

This year’s exercise is hosted by Norway and will focus on answering the call for help by a NATO ally during a simulated Article 5 scenario. In addition, the exercise will include the use of Swedish and Finnish participation and airspace.

What it would look like when answering the call to an Article 5 being invoked by NATO. Article 5 is “to assist our allies in the restoration of sovereignty through defense and deterrence. NATO’s actions have been and will be defensive, transparent and proportionate to the threat.This segued into exercise Trident Juncture 2018, which is NATO’s largest exercise in two decades with more than 30 ally and partner nations participating. Trident Juncture 18 is going to test our ability to plan and conduct a major collective defense operation. Thirty allies and partner nations providing 50,000 troops, and all the equipment that goes along with that. There are 70 ships, 120 aircraft, 10,000 vehicles involved in this. And those numbers are growing every day

THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST

Protecting our Freedom

Trident Juncture is designed to ensure that NATO forces and partners are trained, able to operate together, and ready to respond to any threat from any direction. NATO allies and partners routinely conduct exercises to test tactics and procedures, develop best practices and identify areas for improvement.

Trident Juncture 18 is a valuable platform for us to work with partners and exchange best practices and work together as an alliance to address crises. Collective defense has become a more prominent feature of NATO exercises due to the changes in the security landscape, particularly with regard to the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia.

With China Will Be All About Iran’s Oil

 下一次美國與中國的衝突將是關於伊朗的石油

As if they needed it, U.S.-China relations face a new flashpoint on Nov. 4, when Washington’s new sanctions on Iran take full effect with the stated objective of cutting Tehran’s oil exports to zero, from a current 1.7 million barrels a day. China, which buys about one-quarter of Iran’s crude, is shaping up as the center of global resistance to this unilateral action.

“I don’t expect China to acquiesce to Washington’s demands, given the worsening relations between the two nations,” says Steph-en Brennock, oil analyst at top global broker PVM Oil Associates. That looks like a setup for the mother of all trade disputes. Both sides have incentives to give ground quietly, China as a salve to already stressed U.S. relations, Washington to avoid an oil price shock. But the looming deadline does add more uncertainty to an emerging markets outlook that was fragile enough without it.

THE EDITOR'S WARNING

THE COMING GENOCIDE IN IRAN

 自從納粹在歐洲消滅猶太人以來就沒有了

Not since the Nazi's extermination of the Jews in Europe between 1938 and 1945 have we witnessed that the world once again turns a blind eye to the ongoing geno-cide, this time of the Iranian People and it's Nation. And like last time, the imbecile European leaders are cooperating with the lawless United States on this unilateral, dehumanizing and criminal venture. The United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia created and are  supporting the Islamic State, ISIS, the worst terrorist organization in our time. None of these countries have been brought to justice.

Genocide never again? 種族滅絕再也沒有？

美國拒絕接受國際刑事法院的授權

The United States, who rejects the authority of the International Criminal Court beause it does not want its citizens to stand trial, should look into itself first before accusing every other State and persons on the planet "to support terrorism." The root causes of the Middle East conflict, may I remind you, is Palestine, not in itself Iran and its proxy Hezbollah. We support neither parties. Please stop another genocide in progress before it is too late! Is that too much to ask of the world community?

The International Criminal Court the Hague

The United States rejects the Authority of the International Criminal Court 美國沒有國際司法

The United States Government has consistently opposed an international court that could hold US military and political leaders to a uniform global standard of justice. The Clinton administration participated actively in negotiations towards the Inter-national Criminal Court treaty, seeking Security Council screening of cases. Washington, however, has no intention to join the ICC, due to its concern about possible charges against US nationals; one justice for US citizens and another for the rest of the world. Thank you.

 沒有種族滅絕 UN Court orders US to lift anti-Iranian sanctions on medicines, food and aviation 聯合國法院命令美國解除對伊朗的藥品，食品和航空制裁

Judges at the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the UN, have handed victory to Tehran over a case against US which states that the US sanctions imposed in May against Iran violate the terms of their 1955 Treaty of Amity. In its initial ruling broadly in favor of Iran, the International Court of Justice has demanded the US suspend sanctions on Iran related to humanitarian aid, agriculture, spare parts supplies for civil aviation, and relevant services including banking channels.

       The International Criminal Court ICC, the Hague            國際刑事法院，海牙  

The ICC has ordered the US, in accordance with its obligations under the 1955 Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations, and Consular Rights, to remove, “by means of its choosing”,

"Any "impediments raising from the measures announced on 8 May 2018 to the free exportation to the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran of medicines and medical devices, foodstuffs and agricultural commodities; and spare parts, equipment and associated services, including warranty, maintenance, repair services and inspections necessary for the safety of civil aviation."

"To this end, the United States must ensure that licences and necessary authori-zations are granted and that payments and other transfers of funds are not subject to any restriction in so far as they relate to the goods and services referred to above,"

the ruling added. The Court has unanimously told both parties to “refrain from any action which might aggravate or extend the dispute before the Court or make it more difficult to resolve.” The Court further reaffirmed that its “orders on provisional measures ... have binding effect” and thus create international legal obligations for both parties.

RECAP ON ISIS

“The United States and Saudi Arabia supplied most of this materiel without authorization, apparently to Syrian opposition forces. This diverted materiel, recovered from IS forces, comprises exclusively Warsaw Pact-caliber weapons and ammunition, purchased by the United States and Saudi Arabia from European Union (EU) member states in Eastern Europe,”

the report found, using an alternative acronym for ISIS.

“Supplies of materiel into the Syrian conflict from foreign parties, notably the United States and Saudi Arabia, have indirectly allowed IS to obtain substantial quantities of anti-armor ammunition,” it later added.

For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aids, abets or otherwise assists in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission;

  How ISIS Got Weapons From the U.S.  and Used Them to Take Iraq and Syria

The Islamic State militant group (ISIS) got its hands on vast supplies of weapons by

1) taking advantage of U.S. weapons transfers that may have violated inter-national agreements between Washington and its allies, according to a new report.

As much as 90 percent of ISIS’s arms and ammunition were found to have originated in Russia, China and Eastern European states.

2) The jihadis were able to obtain much of this arsenal as a result of former President Barack Obama’s support for rebels in Syria, U.K.-based Conflict,

Armament Research reported after analyzing 40,000 items recovered by its investi-gators along ISIS front lines between July 2014 and November 2017.

By purchasing “large numbers” of European arms and ammunition and then diverting them to nonstate actors in Syria without notifying the sellers,

3) the U.S. reportedly “violated the terms of sale and export agreed between weapon exporters and recipients.

Weapons reportedly seized by Syria’s armed forces during a military operation against ISIS in the eastern Syrian city of Deir Ezzor, on November 5. While the vast majority of ISIS’s arsenal originated in Russia, China and Eastern Europe, much of it was initially procured by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

"How cold must it get before we understand?"

在我们理解之前它必须有多冷？

                    Как холодно, пока мы не поймем?

Relationships to our fellow men and women hinges on three words: Empathy, Respect and Dignity.  In my work dealing with people and creating Dialogue and Common Ground, I have come to experience that many of us are not capable of viewing another human being right in front of ourselves with warmth, empathy and humanness.

I believe this defect to be one of several causes for disharmony, conflict and war. I call this phenomenon, "The coldness between people."The preplanned and administrative extermination of six  to seven million Jews, gypsies and others in Europe between 1938 and 1945 could not have taken place without this kind of coldness between people. And I ask you dear friends, how chilly must it get before we understand that this is the very slippery road to human disintegration and war, that we hope to avoid?

Bolton Warns of ‘Terrible Consequences’  for Those Doing Business with Iran!

博尔顿警告那些与伊朗做生意的人“可怕的后果”

The Trump administration issued a stark warning to the United States’ closest European allies on Tuesday, promising to sharply penalize European governments or companies that continue to do business with Iran. “We do not intend to allow our sanctions to be evaded by Europe or anybody else,” John R. Bolton, the national security adviser, said in a speech Tuesday at a forum sponsored by a group intensely critical of the Iran nuclear accord.

Mr. Bolton promised “terrible consequences” for anyone who continues to do busi-ness with Iran after Nov. 4, the day the United States will reinstate the remaining sanctions it had lifted under the deal. Many European countries, including Britain, France and Germany, have announced their intention to continue doing business with Iran. The European Union has passed a law forbidding European companies from complying with American sanctions.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said at the same forum that the Trump administrat-ion was “disturbed and deeply disappointed” by plans announced Monday night by Britain, France, Germany and other countries committed to the Iran nuclear accord to create an unspecified economic channel that would be protected from American sanctions. “This is one of the most counterproductive measures imaginable for regional and global peace and security,” Mr. Pompeo said. “By sustaining revenues to the regime, you are solidifying Iran’s ranking as the No. 1 state sponsor of terror.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi insisted that his country "will not be blackmailed" or bow to pressure. "Protectionism will only hurt oneself, and unilateral moves will bring damage to all," he told the U.N. General Assembly gathering of world leaders. 

President Donald Trump this week cranked up punitive tariffs on China, and Beijing responded in kind, escalating a trade war between the world's two largest economies. Trump upped the ante by then accusing China of meddling in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections because it opposes his trade policies. He has presented little evidence to back up the allegations, which China says are untrue.

Wang, in separate remarks at a think tank, said U.S.-China relationship was at a critical point, four decades since ties were normalized. "The relationship between our two countries is a common asset. It must be preserved and valued. It's the result of generations of people's efforts," Wang said. "It's like a glass. It's easy to break it" and would be difficult to repair, he said.

The assertion about oil exports from Iran flies in the face of current Trump administration efforts to convince the European allies, as well as China, Russia and others, to uphold a U.S.-led global embargo on Iranian oil by November.

The embargo push is part of the administration’s wider nuclear deal pullout, which Mr. Trump announced in May and has since featured a re-imposition of U.S. sanctions against Tehran that Washington had lifted under deal three years ago in exchange for limits to Iran’s nuclear programs.

Russia’s top diplomat condemned what he described as “an onslaught of belligerent revisionism” that threatens the international order in a rare personal criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump, reflecting growing tensions between the former Cold War enemies.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov lashed out at Trump’s policies in the Middle East, his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and Paris climate treaty as well as his moves to ratchet up trade tensions in a speech Friday at the United Nations General Assembly.

The annual gathering of world leaders has reinforced the divisions between Russia and the U.S. The two countries clashed over postwar plans for Syria, with Russia pushing the UN to help find funds for rebuilding the country, while the U.S. insists it should be overseeing a political transition away from Bashar al-Assad’s rule.

Mass graves for US soldiers already dug in the Khuzestan province Iran

In a potential War with Iran, the US and its partners will be seriously bogged down; another Vietnam. Mass graves for US soldiers already dug. The Islamic Republic cannot be brought to its knees by air bombing alone. Land war with Iran unheard of. Genocide of the Iranian Nation on the table; unfathomable consequences for the United States and its Middle East Allies. Iran’s overall strike capability seriously underestimated. Our prediction is that Iran will have nuclear strike capability at the outbreak of war. The Jewish State will be the first to be hit, and no airport in Israel will be operative after an Iranian attack. Returning Israeli planes must find landing alternatives in friendly countries. China, Russia and Syria will be drawn in to defend "the Red Line".

NATO CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY DEFEND THE TERRITORY OF ITS MOST EXPOSED MEMBERS

In a series of wargames conducted between summer 2014 and spring 2015, the RAND Corporation examined the shape and probable outcome of a near term Russian invasion of the Baltic states. The games’ findings are unambiguous. As currently postured, NATO cannot successfully defend the territory of its most exposed members. Across multiple games using a wide range of expert participants in and out of uniform playing both sides, the longest it has taken Russian forces to reach the outskirts of the Estonian and/or Latvian capitals of Tallinn and Riga, respectively, is 60 hours.

The outcome was, bluntly, a disaster for NATO. Across multiple plays of the game, Russian forces eliminated or bypassed all resistance and were at the gates of or actually entering Riga, Tallinn, or both, between 36 and 60 hours.

RUSSIAN FAIT ACCOMPLI CONFRONTS NATO WITH UNPALATABLE CHOICES

Russian forces knocking on the gates of Riga and Tallinn in two or three days would present NATO leaders with a set of highly unattractive options. The leaders and people of the Baltic states, who would need to decide whether to defend their capitals, would confront the first quandary. Quality light forces, like the U.S. airborne infantry that the NATO players typically deployed into Riga and Tallinn, can put up stout resistance when dug into urban terrain.

But the cost of mounting such a defense to the city and its residents is typically very high, as the residents of Grozny learned at the hands of the Russian Army in 1999–2000. Furthermore, these forces likely could not be resupplied or relieved before being over- whelmed. Whether Estonia’s or Latvia’s leaders would choose to turn their biggest cities into battlefields—indeed, whether they should—is, of course, uncertain. The second and larger conundrum would be one for the U.S. President and the leaders of the other 27 NATO countries.

NATO NEEDS HEAVY FORCES TO DENY RUSSIA A QUICK VICTORY

In addition to assessing the viability of NATO’s current posture, our games explored enhancement options for creating a force that could deny Russia a swift victory in the first three days. Quality light forces, like the U.S. airborne infantry that the NATO players typically deployed into Riga and Tallinn, can put up stout resistance when dug into urban terrain. But the cost of mounting such a defense to the city and its residents is typically very high.

Avoiding the fait accompli is valuable because it begins to present Russia with the risk of a conventional defeat and thereby is at least the beginning of a more credible deterrent. On the one hand, Russia today looks to its northwest and sees little between its forces and the Baltic Sea but highway and the prospect of forcing NATO into the three-sided corner described above.

The Civil Stealth War of the United States

  The outcome of the first American civil war fought from 1861 to 1865 decided who should be included in the winners club and steer the new nation into the future. The second American civil war, which is fought in our own time by stealth, is deciding who shall not be included in the winners club. It is against these two contradictory scenarios that many of the violent political deaths that has occurred in the United States speak more clearly to us, stand out in a way we have not realized before and warn us. We have become aware of the violent culture underpinning American politics of today, even though such incidents are usually not acknowledged or reported, but often repressed and denied.
