The pardon granted by President Trump to his former National Security Advisor, General Michael Flynn, appears to be in support of QAnon; a group he feels is connected to. Similarly, the removal of leaders from the Pentagon appears to follow General Flynn’s objectives.

James Jeffrey, President Donald Trump’s former special representative for Syria and against ISIL, gave an interview to Defense One a week after being relieved of his duties.
He explains that he strove hard to keep occupation forces in Syria. In particular, he avows to having lied for two years, in collusion with Pentagon generals, about the number of troops on the ground. While Trump had agreed to the presence of only 200 troops to ward off an attack on the oil wells, Jeffrey and the (...)

The Israeli-Emirati treaty upsets the rhetoric about the Middle East and makes possible an Arab-Israeli peace. It interrupts Israel’s inexorable nibbling of Arab territories and establishes diplomatic relations between Israel and the leader of the Arab world. If one is to examine without prejudice a situation where fear, violence and hatred are causing manifest injustices, it is clear that President Trump’s initiative has unblocked a conflict that has been tense for twenty-seven years. He was immediately nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

In the wake of the US Justice Department’s decision to drop all charges against General Michael Flynn, former DIA Director and, briefly, National Security Advisor to President Trump, one of his close associates, Ezra Cohen-Watnick (photo-left), has stepped into the position of deputy assistant secretary of defense in charge of counternarcotics and global threats.
He played a central role in delivering to Devin Nunes, Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, documents uncovering the (...)

New documents discovered by General Michael Flynn’s former law firm are now in the hands of his current attorneys. One such document is likely to exonerate him from the crimes he has been charged with.
According to his lawyers, this whole affair has been made possible only because the Justice Department refused to declassify a document showing that an FBI spy had illegally infiltrated an August 2016 closed-door briefing of future President Trump with the CIA.
General Michael T. Flynn, (...)

While most people are absorbed by the time-distribution measures of the epidemic, the Saudis are questioning the power of their American protector. A showdown between Riyadh and Washington, which was already disrupting the world economy before the spread of Covid-19. President Trump considered taking control of Saudi and Venezuelan oil, which apparently led him to forge new alliances.

Wow, good evening, everyone. (Cheers.) What a crowd. What a crowd. It’s great to be here. It is wonderful to be with you all tonight. I want to say a few thank yous.

Hello, everybody. Well, thank you very much. And good afternoon.
As President, my highest and most solemn duty is the defense of our nation and its citizens.
Last night, at my direction, the United States military successfully executed a flawless precision strike that killed the number-one terrorist anywhere in the world, Qasem Soleimani.
Soleimani was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel, but we caught him in the act and terminated him. (...)

Alone, against his opposition, against his administration and against his allies, President Trump does not seem to be able to fulfil his campaign commitments. Three years after his election, the House of Representatives launched an impeachment procedure against him because he is fighting against the corruption of the Clinton clan.

Thank you very much. Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, distinguished delegates, ambassadors, and world leaders:
Seven decades of history have passed through this hall, in all of their richness and drama. Where I stand, the world has heard from presidents and premiers at the height of the Cold War. We have seen the foundation of nations. We have seen the ringleaders of revolution. We have beheld saints who inspired us with hope, rebels who stirred us with passion, and heroes who (...)

President Trump made a lot of promises in terms of international relations during his election campaign. He achieved little, except the end of US support for Daesh. Despite the hostility of his own administration, he advances on several fronts simultaneously. He hopes to be able to impose his point of view and take advantage of this radical change to represent himself before the electorate.
