Best President for Iran was W. Bush

He talked tough, but knew when to fold

Barak Hussein thought he can fool mad mullahs :lol:

Now, Iran sayin "next one please".

mad mullahs will wait for the next president .. Hillary or Donald makes no difference .. the new president suddenly confronts a "Zug Zwang", a situation where either must hit hard (and take the consequences), or, pack and leave .. that will set the stage from that point on.

Hadi claims to speak on behalf of his country, but the reality is that he has little or no support there.

Indeed, he is widely hated in much of the country because of his support for the intervention.

He presents himself as the head of the “legitimately elected government.”

He naturally doesn’t mention that he was the only candidate running in the “election,” or that as far as most Yemenis are concerned his government lost whatever legitimacy it had when it invited foreign governments to attack the country.

Needless to say, he makes no mention of the horrifying near-famine conditions in the country caused in large part by the blockade that Hadi supports, and he has nothing to say about the civilians killed by the bombing campaign he endorses.

. . "sanctions overreach" only encourages businesses to avoid the United States and its financial system, eventually eroding the reach of the U.S. dollar and its power and status as the preeminent reserve currency.

"If foreign jurisdictions and companies feel that we will deploy sanctions without sufficient justification or for inappropriate reasons -- secondary sanctions in particular -- we should not be surprised if they look for ways to avoid doing business in the United States or in U.S. dollars," Lew said.

"The more we condition use of the dollar and our financial system on adherence to U.S. foreign policy, the more the risk of migration to other currencies and other financial systems in the medium-term grows," he said.

"Our central role [in the world economy] must not be taken for granted," he warned. "The risk that sanctions overreach will ultimately drive business activity from the U.S. financial system could become more acute if alternatives to the United States as a center of financial activity, and to the U.S. dollar as the world's preeminent reserve currency, assume a larger role in the global financial system."

Lew said that particularly heavy secondary sanctions like those imposed on Iran for years because of its nuclear activities should only be used in "exceptional" circumstances because they bar even non-U.S. citizens from dealing with targeted individuals or companies.

Saudi Arabia warns of economic fallout if Congress passes 9/11 bill


Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi foreign minister, delivered the kingdom's message personally last month during a trip to Washington, telling lawmakers that Saudi Arabia would be forced to sell up to $750 billion in treasury securities and other assets in the United States before they could be in danger of being frozen by American courts.

..

"It's stunning to think that our government would back the Saudis over its own citizens," said Mindy Kleinberg, whose husband died in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and who is part of a group of victims' family members pushing for the legislation.

At least Republicans are looking to correct the situation. Rumor is that obama, a Democrat, will veto the bill.

populist uprisings
End of a half-century of greater economic ties



.

The world economy is nearing what international policymakers fear could be a dangerous turning point, as populist uprisings in the United States and Europe threaten to unravel decades-old alliances that have fostered free trade and deepened economic ties.

The tension has reached boiling point in Britain, which in two months will vote on whether to leave the European Union. The International Monetary Fund, which wrapped up its annual meetings this weekend in Washington, warned that a so-called Brexit is a “real possibility,” one that could usher in a new era of uncertainty and undermine the already fragile global recovery.

But the unrest is not limited to the United Kingdom. Anti-EU parties are gaining steam across the continent, particularly in France and Germany, while U.S. presidential candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are railing against America’s signature trade deals.

Fueling the furor are blue-collar workers on both sides of the Atlantic who feel left behind by international competition. Their frustration has given rise to political movements condemning the principles of globalization -- free trade and open borders -- that have been heralded as pathways to prosperity since the end of World War II.

Joe was shortchanged .. all benefits of "global economic ties" fleeced by crooks .. that's how 1% own 80% of worth wealth.

Now, Joe shooting first and askin question later.
