Obama: US Military Engaged in Anti-Terror Operations Across 15 Countries
Sputnik — 13.06.2016
US military personnel are engaged in counterterrorism operations across 15 different countries, President Barack Obama said in a biannual statement to Congress released on Monday.
The letter outlined US military counterrorism operations across the globe in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Somalia, Yemen, Djibouti, Libya, Cuba, Niger, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Egypt, Jordan, and Kosovo. All nations have US combat-equipped personnel deployed for a specific counterterrorism mission.
Obama indicated that that there is no timeline for the war on terrorism, and he will direct “additional measures to protect US citizens and interests” if necessary.
“It is not possible to know at this time the precise scope or the duration of the deployments of US Armed Forces necessary to counter terrorist threats to the United States,” Obama said.
Under the 2001 authorization for use of military force, the US president must update Congress every six months on the military operations against al-Qaeda, the Taliban and associated forces.

NATO rejects Russia’s ‘red line’
RT | January 26, 2022
NATO has said it “will not compromise” on potential expansion into Ukraine, Georgia, and other former Soviet republics, as this clashes with the “core principles” of the alliance, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters on Wednesday.
The alliance’s response, which Stoltenberg said all 30 members agreed upon, was delivered to Moscow earlier in the day by the US ambassador, alongside Washington’s separate written note.
The US has asked Russia to keep the contents of its response private. … continue

isn’t that a de facto admission to promoting {{{JEWISH}}} ZIONIST/BOLSHEVIK
Talmudic TERRORISM…..for the Global Crime Syndicate that prints the currency
and owns the Media….and operates a crack house for ZIONIST crack whores

Human nature and the condition of the world just will not allow a winner.
Low and behold, now appears Step No. 3 the Solution: — Technically, in Hegelian terms,
we will call the solution “the Synthesis” and it will have the answer for the problem!
Please not the statement that no thesis or antithesis can win without a judge or referee
for this is an important thought to go along with our concluding remarks.
http://archive.adl.org/presrele/mise_00/4643_00.html#.V1_q4vkrLb0
But for now, please read on!
Thesis and Antithesis will merge into what had originally been the goal as planned
by the forces that could, in no other way, implement their desire(s)!
A great game, it goes on daily in every frame of existence
{abortion and anti-abortion, the Second Amendment and the anti-gun lobby, East versus West, etc.}.
We are just not normally aware of what is being shoved down our gullets.
We look but do not see; we listen but do not hear!

What was the great overriding thought of the late 1940s and ’50s that permeated the minds of us all? Communism, of course! We were finally coming to realize what Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.,
had been telling us in 1944 and ’45 for which he was murdered, because he knew too much!
We were learning that communism might possibly be our enemy,
but we were never told who or what was behind and controlling it.
What the average serf did not understand was the fact that the World Domination
plans were not the exclusive right of Communism,
that there were sinister forces behind the scenes which we were not told about,
and for a very good reason!

Communism was literally the convenient tool and ploy –
a diversion that was easily understood by the masses since it was being
“drilled into our minds by every media available” –
Communism was our enemy.
Human memory is very short lived in most cases; we tended,
conveniently again,
not to recall that just a few years before one of the greatest enemies and traitors
of this country the Jew Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
was figuratively in bed with the second worst mass murderer in the history of the world,
“Uncle” Joe Stalin and placed the {{{{ZOG}}}} U.S. in the same status with the
{{{{ZOG}}}…. U.S.S.R.
