Subj: REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE IN RESPONSE TO PANDEMIC
BLUF: If required the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT would embark all assigned Sailors, set sail, and be ready to fight and beat any adversary that dares challenge the US or our allies. The virus would certainly have an impact, but in combat we are willing to take certain risks that are not acceptable in peacetime. However, we are not at war, and (...)
The Record of Human Rights Violations in the United States in 2019
Beijing (China) | 14 March 2020
Foreword
"We lied, we cheated, we stole ... It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment," said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a speech on April 15, 2019.
The remarks of US politicians have completely exposed their hypocrisy of adopting double standards on human rights issues and using them to maintain hegemony.
The United States claims to be founded on human rights, touting itself as a world human rights defender. Following a framework of its own narrow understanding of (...)
“The Art of War”
30, 000 soldiers arrive in Europe without masks
by Manlio Dinucci
Rome (Italy) | 9 March 2020
The United States are demonstrating their power by organising the largest transfer of their troops in Europe on the occasion of the Defender Europe 20 exercises. This country, which only a few years ago sacrificed its soldiers without warning in its nuclear tests, is taking no precautions for its soldiers faced with the corona virus epidemic.
“The Art of War”
The future of "America", increasingly armed
by Manlio Dinucci
Rome (Italy) | 21 February 2020
The federal government of the United States is responsible for defense and foreign policy, as well as the prosecution and adjudication of federal crimes. The new budget plans to close large agencies whose role is constitutionally vested in the states. It chooses to make no cuts in military spending although US troops in the broader Middle East and Africa are to "come home" in the last year of President Trump’s first term. Instead, Washington will expand its arsenal.
“The West Is Winning”
by Mike Pompeo
Munich (Germanay) | 15 February 2020
Well, good morning, everyone. It’s great to be with you all.
Foreign dignitaries, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, members of Congress, who are with us here today, it’s my honor to be here this morning. It’s great to be back at the Munich Security Conference. I was just talking with some of the leaders. I’ve been here many times. I came here with Senator McCain. I came here as the CIA director. I’m also not new to Munich. If you’re looking for a good bierhalle from the late ‘80s, I (...)
Behind the Scenes of U.S./Iran Relations
by Thierry Meyssan
Damascus (Syria) | 14 January 2020
By having Iranian General Qassem Soleimani assassinated in Iraq, President Trump nearly provoked the Third World War. At least that is the version of the US opposition and the international press. For Thierry Meyssan, what happens behind the scenes is very different from the show on stage. According to him, there is a move towards a coordinated military withdrawal of the United States and Iran from the Middle East.
The Restoration of Deterrence: The Iranian Example
by Mike Pompeo
13 January 2020
MR GILLIGAN: This is all pretty elaborate, isn’t it? (Laughter.) Well, good morning. My name is Tom Gilligan. I am the director of the Hoover Institution. I want to – it’s my great pleasure to welcome you all to listen to a message from our chief diplomat from the United States.
I especially want to thank the students for being here, our future policy makers, for taking time to join us in this important dialogue.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Hoover Institution, we’re a (...)
US and Iranian violations of Iraqi sovereignty
by
Mohammed Hussein Bahr Aluloom
New York (USA) | 9 January 2020
Further to our letter dated 6 January 2020 (S/2020/15) concerning the violation of the sovereignty of Iraq perpetrated by United States military forces on 3 January 2020, and on instructions from my Government, I am writing to inform you that Iraqi territory was violated yet again in the middle of the night of Wednesday, 8 January 2020 when Iranian missiles struck camps housing both Iraqi and international coalition forces. For Iraqi territory to be bombarded by the Islamic Republic of Iran (...)
US poised to continue as No. 1 oil producer
6 November 2019
The United States, which is currently the leading oil-producing country thanks to fracking, is expected to hold its position longer than anticipted.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has acknowledged its inability to keep the price of oil at the $ 60 level. Washington may be expected, as from 2022, to start jacking up its prices to ensure the profitability of shale oil extraction in the face of mounting (...)
US rebuffs Turkey’s genocide denial
30 October 2019
The House of Representatives adopted a resolution «Affirming the United States record on the Armenian Genocide» (H.Res.296).
Its purpose is not to establish a historical truth, nor to designate culprits and even less to open the door to compensation payments. It is a political motion aiming to assert that the United States opposed the genocide while it was being perpetrated and that it distances itself today from Turkey’s denial stance.
Another draft of this resolution had been tabled in (...)
Joint Turkish-United States statement on north-east Syria
Ankara (Turkey) | 17 October 2019
1. The US and Turkey reaffirm their relationship as fellow members of NATO. The US understands Turkey’s legitimate security concerns on Turkey’s southern border.
2. Turkey and the US agree that the conditions on the ground, northeast Syria in particular, necessitate closer coordination on the basis of common interests.
3. Turkey and the US remain committed to protecting NATO territories and NATO populations against all threats with the solid understanding of “one for all and all for one”. (...)
The Trump Administration Is Establishing the U.S. Space Command
Washington D. C. (États-Unis)
| 29 August 2019
“When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space”
President Donald J. Trump
ESTABLISHING SPACE COMMAND: Today, at the direction of President Donald J. Trump, the Secretary of Defense established the United States Space Command to ensure space superiority.
The United States Space Command strengthens our ability to deter conflict and ensure unfettered access to, and freedom to operate in, space. (...)

“The Art of War”
The US model for « sovereign » government
by Manlio Dinucci
Rome (Italy) | 31 July 2019
On the occasion of the grotesque speech by Giuseppe Conte before the Italian ambassadors, Manlio Dinucci reminds us that whatever the sympathy we may have for the people of the United States, their country is still the main predator of humanity. We can in no circumstance claim to share their «values».
Iran paralysed
by Thierry Meyssan
Damascus (Syria) | 18 June 2019
The rise of tension in the Gulf is a dangerous game which could turn bloody at any moment. The unclaimed sabotage of the tankers could have been perpetrated by almost any of the parties, including the United States, who are well-versed in the use of false-flag operations. However, rational analysis shows that Teheran today is not at all in this state of mind.

Rand Corp: how to destroy Russia
by Manlio Dinucci
Rome (Italy) | 21 May 2019
The conclusions of the latest confidential report by the Rand Corporation were recently made public in a « Brief ». They explain how to wage a new Cold War against Russia. Certain recommendations have already been implemented, but this systemic exposure enables us to understand their true objective.
Michael R. Pompeo And Sergey Lavrov At a Joint Press Availability
by Sergey Lavrov, Mike Pompeo
Sochi (Russian Federation) | 14 May 2019
SECRETARY POMPEO: Sergey, thank you. Good afternoon. I want to first of all say that I appreciate President Putin and Prime* Minister Lavrov for hosting me today. Thank you, sir. We had a frank discussion about many issues, including many places where we disagree. The United States stands ready to find common ground with Russia, as long as the two of us can engage seriously on those issues.
We discussed, as Foreign Minister Lavrov said, many important topics. We talked about (...)
The European Union threatens to resort to the WTO against the United States
20 April 2019
The European Union informed the United States government that it will resort to the World Trade Organization (WTO) if the US tightens its economic blockade against Cuba by enforcing chapter III of the Helms-Burton law.
The United States has announced that it will enforce Title III of the Helms-Burton Act (Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (Freedom) Act of 1996), thereby authorizing so-called "Cuban-Americans" to pursue legal claims for properties which were confiscated after the (...)
The UNO destroyed by US « exceptionalism »
by Thierry Meyssan
Damascus (Syria) | 2 April 2019
Now weakened in comparison with their Russian and Chinese competitors, the United States have returned to their historical reflexes. In terms of foreign relations, they have abandoned the liberal international order and returned to the doctrine of exceptionalism. By questioning their own engagement with the Security Council, they have opened the way to the deconstruction of international Law and the end of the United Nations. This evolution, which shocked the countries of Western Europe and plunged them into confusion, had been anticipated by Russia and China, who were preparing for it.
The new Grand Strategy of the United States
by Thierry Meyssan
Damascus (Syria) | 26 March 2019
Many people think that the United States is very active, but does not succeed in much. For example, it is said that its wars in the Greater Middle East are a succession of failures. But for Thierry Meyssan, the USA has a coherent military, commercial and diplomatic strategy. According to its own objectives, it advances patiently, and is crowned with success.

Syria denounces US attitude about occupied Golan
by Bashar Ja’afari
New York (USA) | 22 March 2019
On urgent instructions from my Government, I draw your attention to the following points in connection with the dangerous, ominous and irresponsible statements made on Thursday, 21 March 2019, by the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, which constitute a threat to the peace, stability and security of the Middle East and the world, and earlier statements by members of Congress and the views expressed by United States Administration officials regarding the status of the (...)
Russian comment on US plans to conduct missile tests on intercepting an ICBM
Moscow (Russia) | 22 March 2019
We have noted reports in the US media, referencing the Pentagon’s “unnamed sources,” on the intention of the US military to test the interception of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by an SM-3 Block IIA antimissile in 2020.
Washington also announced similar plans in the Missile Defence Review published on January 17 of this year.
These intentions are bound to cause apprehensions. Reports on the planned tests to intercept an ICBM with an SM-3 Block IIA antimissile again confirm (...)
“The Art of War”
The price of US « protection » is skyrocketing
by Manlio Dinucci
Rome (Italy) | 14 March 2019
The United States intend to consider their allies as protectorates no longer. Consequently, the US is asking them to pay the cost of their protection, failing which, it will withdraw. Such was President Trump’s announcement on 17 January at the Pentagon. It was presented at NATO in February, but was only made public this week. It is a decision which applies to all the allies, from Japan to Germany. The problem is that Washington is also asking its allies to align with US positions… just as they did as protectorates.
Mike Pompeo Address at CERAWeek
by Mike Pompeo
Houston (United States) | 12 March 2019
SECRETARY POMPEO: Thank you, Dan. Thank you all for joining me. I see you standing in the back. It’s like church, there’s empty pews in the front if you want to come up and grab a seat. I do think – is there anyone from the Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association here? I’m pretty sure I’m the only former member to ever serve as Secretary of State, so you should put that right on the front of your web page. I think that’s legal.
Good evening, everyone, and thanks to you all for being here. I (...)
The International Court of Justice, the judicial arm of the UN, declares that London and Washington are illegally occupying the base of Diego Garcia
28 February 2019
The International Court of Justice sitting in the Hague reached the decision that the British faked the independence of the current Republic of Mauritius in 1968, by illegally dissociating the Archipelago of Chagos illegally from it. Responding to the UN General Assembly’s request filed on 22 June 2017, the International Court of Justice declared on 25 February 2019, that the process of decolonization (1965 - 1968) violated relevant General Assembly Resolutions, specifically Resolution (...)
Washington’s request for its allies to stay back in Syria
20 February 2019
During the Security Conference that has just taken place in Munich, the US Secretary of Defence, Patrick Shanahan, brought together his principal allies (which included Iraq and Turkey) and asked them to take over from the US in Syria as the US gets ready to pull out.
Declaring that Damascus’s taking back control of the territory would not guarantee stability, the US Secretary of Defense requested that 1,500 men remain in North East Syria.
In any event, those present have questioned the (...)
The 116th US Congress is preparing a new war against Syria
by Thierry Meyssan
Damascus (Syria) | 31 January 2019
We were wrong to think that the Syrians were out of danger after their victory over the jihadists. They are not. Israël and the United States have not abandoned their war objective of the destruction of state structures. They are preparing a new war, this time financial, in order to prevent the reconstruction of the country and condemn the Syrian people to rot in the ruins.

Russian comment on the new US Missile Defence Review
Moscow (Russia) | 18 January 2019
A new Missile Defence Review was released by the United States on January 17. The content of this document is bound to evoke serious concern. It is openly confrontational and once again demonstrates Washington’s goal of achieving undivided military supremacy in the world and the ability to conduct with impunity military operations in defence of its interests in any part of the globe. In this context the document continues the policy described in the US National Security Strategy and the (...)
