While the international press details the astonishing about-face by Donald Trump, Thierry Meyssan shows that it is nothing of the sort – far from having abandoned his ideal of peace, the President of the United States is raging and bombing, while taking great care to commit nothing irreparable.

======

President Trump’s radical change in rhetoric concerning his foreign policy was accompanied by the bombing of an air base in Cheyrat, and that of an Afghan mountain.

The world trembled before the deployment of such force - 59 Tomahawk missiles in Syria and one GBU-4/B3 mega-bomb in Afghanistan. Yet the base in Cheyrat was already operational again the following morning, while the « Mother Of All Bombs » certainly caused the collapse of three exits of a natural tunnel, but did not destroy the kilometres of underground passages created over time by the rivers within the mountain. In short, much ado about nothing.

These two operations were clearly intended to convince the US deep state that the White House was once again supporting its imperial politics. They had the desired affect on Germany and France. Chancellor Angela Merkel and President François Hollande applauded their lord and master, and called for an end to the Syrian situation. The surprise arrived from elsewhere.

The United Kingdom did not only follow the movement. Their Minister for Foreign Affairs, Boris Johnson, proposed to levy sanctions against Russia, according to him an accomplice in the Syrian « crimes », and responsible in one way or another for the Afghan resistance and a plethora of other evils.

During the meeting of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs at the G7, Johnson announced the cancellation of his trip to Moscow, and invited all his partners to break off their political and commercial relations with Russia. However, though approving the British initiative, these partners prudently stayed in the background. Rex Tillerson, the US Secretary of State, incontrovertibly dismissed this insane proposition and maintained his trip to Moscow. Brazenly, Johnson then declared that the Europeans had appointed Tillerson to go and talk some sense into the Russians.

Although international protocol states that Ministers are to be received by their opposite numbers, and not by the Head of State, the Atlantist Press presented Tillerson’s welcome by Lavrov as a cooling of Russo-US relations. Before he had the time to salute his guest, Sergey Lavrov was interrupted by a Washington journalist who took him to task. Reminding him of the conventions of basic politeness, the Russian Minister refused to answer him and cut the presentations short..

The meeting, behind closed doors, lasted for more than 4 hours, which seems fairly long for people who have nothing to say to one another. Finally, the two men requested an audience with President Putin, who recieved them for 2 extra hours.

After these meetings, the Ministers gave a press conference. They declared without irony that they had done little more than take note of their divergences. Sergey Lavrov warned the journalists of the danger that this rupture represented for the world.

However, the next day, the same Lavrov, addressing the Russian Press, indicated that he had concluded an agreement with his guest. Washington had agreed not to continue their attacks on the Syrian Arab Army, and the military coordination between the Pentagon and the Russian army for circulation in Syrian airspace had been re-established.

In appearance, the Trump administration is roaring its power and throwing bombs around, but in reality, it is taking great care not to cause any irreparable damage. The worst and the best are therefore possible.

I see a bunch of people freaking out because he doesn't just let the dictators and criminals of the world go crazy and do as they please. Why don't these same people vent at the dictators or criminals of the world who are "raging" war?

This is all about so called peaceniks with an agenda!

As far as I know these so called peaceniks could be communist agents defending the communist from the horrific acts they do?

What has Trump done? Let the military do its job? Verbally smack crazy dictators? Bomb some dictator for using WMD's? Really he has been kinda quiet.

Trump – two steps forward, one step back

The problem is, the two steps forward are minute shuffles while the steps backward are catastrophic leaps. Trumps missile attack on the comparitively secular Assad was in league with the jihadist strategy to establish a caliphate in Syria that had the thrilled approval of Hillary et al and the jihadists. The approval of hostile subversive elements says more about the quality of action than the public relations routines manufactured afterwards.

None of these countries attacked the United States.

The "War on Terror" is a scam. The U.S. created, funded, armed and trained ISIS and al C-I-A da.

So, it will take him 200 days to do what he wanted to do in 100 days.

That’s fine, no problem.

People still love him and have faith in him.

Go Donald….get ‘er done.

MAGA

And they never will or send proxies to do it….as long as Trump is our Commander in Chief.

You may now say, “thank you, Sir” to good ole Donald.

300 days. 200 - 100 = 100 but 200 + 100 = 300

WOT is legit but the way its run is a scam.

Well its the price you pay for being involved in the world to keep crazy people in check. We can not just leave the world but I do believe we do not have to be in every stinking country. I wish it were a simple issue but its not. I think the GOP is to involved and the dims not involved accept to cause chaos to harm the GOP. GOP has to fix the dims mess and then the war machine kicks in and we are all over the place
