​Turkey-Iran tensions on rise ahead of possible Sinjar Region Operation - More here
3-7-21, DailySabah.com -- Turkey-Iran tensions on rise coinciding with Iran-backed militias issuing statements threatening Turkey. Sinjar is wedged between Turkey to the north and Syria to the west, making it a highly strategic zone long coveted by both the central government in Baghdad and the KRG in the north. Apart from Turkey, the KRG is also irked by the presence of the PKK in the area. [..] In its more than 40-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union – has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women, children and infants. In June 2020 Turkey launched Operations Claw-Tiger and Claw-Eagle in northern Iraq to ensure the safety of Turks and its national borders by eliminating terrorist threats while it launched Operation Claw-Eagle 2 in February 2021... Underlining that relations can be strained if Iran does not support Turkey’s fight against terrorism and backs the PKK...

Turkey-Iran Tensions Rise as Ankara Expands Operation -More here
3-2-21, VoaNews.com -- The regional rivals are engaged in increasingly bitter diplomatic sparring as Ankara threatens to expand its Iraqi operations to a strategically important region used by an Iranian-backed militia. ... Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu provoked Tehran's anger claiming Sunday, Iran was harboring "525 terrorists." ISTANBUL - Turkish-Iranian tensions are rising over Turkey's ongoing military operations against Kurdish militants in northern Iraq. The regional rivals are engaged in increasingly bitter diplomatic sparring as Ankara threatens to expand its Iraqi operations to a strategically important region used by an Iranian-backed militia.
"We do not accept at all, be it Turkey or any other country, to intervene in Iraq militarily or advance or have a military presence in Iraq," Iran's ambassador to Iraq, Iraj Masjedi, was quoted as saying in an interview broadcast Saturday. [..] It's likely the Turkish military can overwhelm local militias in Sinjar. However, the diplomatic cost to Ankara could prove high, and risk further stoking tensions with its powerful neighbor Iran. 

12-14-20, TVUIsraelNews – In recent days during a state visit to Azerbaijan, Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan reviewed a military parade marking Azerbaijan’s victory in the 1990’s over Armenia in a bloody war which saw them seize other outlying regions belonging to Azerbaijan.
 
Russia brokered a ceasefire in the recent Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by locking in the Azeri gains, as well as the deployment of Russian peacekeepers to the region. In a separate deal, Moscow and Ankara also agreed to jointly monitor the truce. It failed.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-55292613
 
While he was in Baku, Erdoğan recited an Azeri-Iranian poem about the division of Azerbaijan’s territory between Russia and Iran in the 19th century. Tehran was immediately incensed over the remarks, out of apparent concern they could fan separatist tendencies among Iran’s Azeri minority. Both nations have summoned their ambassadors to return home from the other nation over the incident.
 
The northwest Iranian region of Azerbaijan borders on the independent state of Azerbaijan, that is a former Soviet Republic. Azeris observe Shi’ite Islam – which is the same as Iran’s official state religion; Turkey’s state Islamic religion is Sunni.

On its website Iran’s Foreign Ministry said:  “The Turkish ambassador was informed that the era of territorial claims and expansionist empires is over. Iran does not allow anyone to meddle in its territorial integrity.”
 
And Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif fumed in a Twitter post: “President Erdoğan was not informed that what he ill-recited in Baku refers to the forcible separation of areas…from (the) Iranian motherland. NO ONE can talk about OUR beloved Azerbaijan.” [..]
 
Speaking alongside Azeri counterpart renewing his call for a change of the Yerevan government Erdoğan said his nation doesn’t “hold any grudge against Armenian people – our problem is with the Armenian leadership.” [..]
 
Azeri President Aliyev stated that “If the Armenian leadership draws the right consequences from the war, drop their unfounded claims and look into the future, they also have a place in this platform. We are open to this.”

At least 15 dead in armed attack on Shia shrine in Iran's Shiraz City [here]
10-26-22, Alarabiya -- At least 15 people were killed and 40 were injured in an armed attack on worshipers in a Shia pilgrimage site in Iran's city of Shiraz, ... The attack took place on the same day that clashes broke out at the burial site of Mahsa Amini in Saqqez, a city in the Kurdistan province...

This is the first time Iran has officially sanctioned EU officials and institutions, a move that comes as a reaction to the bloc’s sanctions on Iran’s so-called morality police and others earlier this month over their alleged roles in what it called the “brutal killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini" 40 days ago.

9-22-22, * -- Retired U.S. Border Patrol agent Randy Clark served as Chief of Law Enforcement Operations in the Del Rio area of Texas. He reports that the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security has apprehended Venezuelan men who President Maduro of Venezuela is intentionally releasing criminals convicted of serious felonies (murder, rape, extortion, arson) and sending them north to infiltrate the U.S. border.  It’s estimated that since October 2021 around 130,000 criminals have crossed the USA border.

 9-21-22, Retired U.S. Army Infantry Colonel and former member of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Dr. Larry Franklin in charge of the “Iran Desk” under Defense Sec Donald Rumsfeld reports that some Iranians have been apprehended by US border guards illegally crossing America's border with Mexico. These illegals could be fulfilling passive missions such as manning Iran's Islamic terror group Hezbollah [1] cells in the US, while others could be commissioned to execute intelligence or terrorist-support operations.

September 17, 2022Biden's Iran Deal: It's All About the Oil [more here]
9-12-22, AmericanThinker -- Recently ole Joe Biden's Sec of State Anthony Blinken called Iran's latest demands in the on-again, off-again nuclear negotiation, "a step backward," making a deal "unlikely." The Iranians want the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to shelve its investigation into Iran's undeclared uranium enrichment activities and figured they could get the U.S. to cave, as it did when John Kerry was leading the U.S. negotiating team in 2015. [..]

8-31-22,  The USA under the command of ole Joe Biden, is buying bulk tickets on the Islamic terror Ariana Afghan Airlines. According to a congressional report, the USA is paying "approximately $300,000 per flight to Taliban controlled airline to allow U.S. citizens and Afghan allies to continue evacuating."
With tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand Afghans in the pipeline, the Taliban could see over $100 million in payments from Biden for its airline.

Even the Clinton administration had sanctioned Ariana, while Biden is funding Ariana flights, allowing the terror airline to maintain its legitimacy and finance its operations.

On September 11, 2001, the Islamic terrorists, Al Qaeda infiltrated the USA and flew airplanes into our buildings. Now, the terrorists are inflitrating their cash cows and terrorists into America. And we’re paying their airline for the tickets.

It’s a myth that the Taliban are not allowing Afghans to leave. They’re happy to facilitate the trip for the right price. They’re also willing to let Americans and other foreigners visit since “the Taliban leadership also made more than $1 million in visa fees paid by more than 4,100 foreign nationals who have visited Afghanistan over the past year.” Many if not most of those visitors are involved in humanitarian aid organizations which the United States is also financing.​

Joe Biden inches closer to nuclear deal with Iran
8-24-22, WashingtonTimes -- On 8/24/22 Ole Joe Biden's administration inched closer to restarting a controversial nuclear deal with Iran, brushing aside stark warnings from key American ally Israel and sidestepping mounting evidence that Tehran and its proxies have not moderated their behavior on other fronts and remain intent on targeting U.S. troops, officials, allies and interests.  The U.S. & Iran are now wrangling over  details of the current plan put forward by the EU to revive the 2015 Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan ...

Biden on verge of making worst deal ever with Iran
3-4-22, NYPost -- While Obama's 2015 Iran nuclear deal was bad; the coming deal is even worse. Ole Joe Biden's administration recently said it's close to announcing a Russian-brokered deal with Iran that will flood the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism with billions of dollars and leave Tehran on the nuclear weapons threshold. Obama's deal let Iran keep enriching uranium, developing nuclear-capable missiles and sponsoring terrorism in exchange for billions of dollars in US sanctions relief.  More here from Hoover Inst

ISRAEL IS BEING CRITICIZED OVER CIVILIAN CASUALTIES, BUT WOULD US FORCES PERFORM ANY BETTER?
8-21-22, The answer is no. The recent Gaza violence is an excellent reminder for US ground forces to look critically at our own capacities. The need to execute feasible yet acceptable courses of action to satisfy the 'fairness' goals of the world is not fair to those who are the victims of the original attacks. In Israel disproportionate collateral damage is happening because the Muslims terrorists place their rocket launchers in civilian locations and blame the Jews for being inhumane when they fight back ...

7-28-22, FrontPageMag -- On 7/20/22 the Islamic 'Palestinian' leader, Mahmoud Abbas visited France attempting to convince French President Emmanuel Macron that Israelis killed in cold blood and without reason Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. [..] Macron, at a press conference at the Elysee Palace in Paris alongside Abbas, stressed the need for Israeli-Palestinian peace talks to resume; there have been none since 2014. He stressed the need for the “renewal of direct political dialogue between the Israelis and the Palestinians.” He warned that violence could break out at any time and that negotiations may be a “difficult path, but we have no other alternative.”

 Antisemitism is “stronger and more rampant” in France today because the chief carriers of the 'virus' ... the millions of Muslim migrants who bring Jew hatred with them, undeclared, as part of their mental baggage. 

Fortunately for the Jewish state of Israel, President Macron is too busy focusing on his domestic agenda; he is not wanting to engage in a fight over Israel and the Muslims with either the Far Left or the Far Right. So they will almost certainly ignore Abbas’ request to get involved. So Abbas may find, after all, that he has to return to the Americans as potential arbiters with Israel, for he has nowhere else to go. ​More here

7-12-22, * -- On May 29, 2022 [1] in Istanbul [formerly Constantinople] and other cities in Turkey, elaborate celebrations were held to commemorate the 569th anniversary of the 1453 AD Islamic conquest of Constantinople. 

Most Westerners today are unaware of the history between Muslim Turkey and Christian Byzantium.
 
History: Towards the end of the first millennium [appx 700 AD], the Turks, whose origins lay in the steppes of Asia became Muslim and began to raid and conquer portions of Asia Minor, which was then and had been for a millennium Greek and Christian.  By the end of the 14th century they had conquered it entirely and began eying Constantinople.  

​Although generations of Turks repeatedly besieged it, it - on May 29, 1453 AD finally fell to Erdogan’s hero: Muhammad II (or “Mehmet”)  [2].
 
What made Constantinople an enemy to the Turks?  The same thing that made every non-Muslim nation an enemy: it was “infidel” non-Muslim and in this case, Christian. That was the sole justification and pretext — the sole “grievance.” [..] When Muhammad’s army had conquered it -- they pillaged, killed, raped, taking captive men, women, children, priests … everyone. [..] The possession of the Christian Cathedral the Hagia Sophia — which at the time served Christians a thousand years — the invaders “engaged in every kind of vileness within it, making of it a public brothel.”  [..]

Hagia Sophia Cathedral today was a museum for nearly a century; but in 2021 Turkey’s President Erdogan rededicated it into an Islamic mosque. The conquest of Constantinople and the conversion of the Hagia Sophia Mosque are among the most glorious chapters of Islamic Turkish history.  Erdoğan’s said: “As our ancestors buried Byzantium, let us hope that today, by building our vision for 2053, we also manage to put in the time warp of history the current Byzantines who are plotting against us.”
 
[..] During the recent May 29, 2022 celebrations [1] apparently Erdoğan confirmed his approval of all the many unprovoked atrocities and conquests Muhammad committed.

​He boasted: “Do you know that Sultan Mehmet [Muhammad II] the Conqueror is not only the conqueror of Constantinople, but also the conqueror of Serbia, the Peloponnese, Athens, Wallachia, Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina?”
​

Tayyip Erdogan instead of being a modern day president who’s interested in living in peace with his neighbors, sees himself as more of a sultan, dedicated to advancing Islam wanting to rebuild the Ottoman empire while humiliating infidels through jihad [war]. The jihadist ideology dominates today’s Turkey; not due to any grievances, but because they are infidels/non-Muslim and with all Mohammad’s atrocities to resume once the sunset of Western power is complete.

Saudi Arabia tells Biden & UN: No State between Israel & Jordan
6-27-22, Saudi journalist Arabia Ali Shihabi supports and has the ear of Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman (MBS) – the controversial next successor to the Saudi throne. He sent Joe Biden and the United Nations (UN) a clear message to abandon the idea of creating a new Arab State between Israel and Jordan in an article published in Al-Arabiya News on 8 June headlined: The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine. 

Western Nations Behave Like Weaklings
When It Comes to Turkey
Turkey Blocks Entrance to NATO: Sweden & Finland
6-15-22, * -- Turkey claims that Finland and Sweden host members of the PKK, the militant Kurdish organization that the U.S. and EU regard as terrorists; both Nordic nations deny the charge. Like many Europeans, however, Finns and Swedes sympathize with Kurds while Turkey has long repressed and ethnically cleansed them.
Turkey is a notorious state sponsor of international terrorism, and has the sheer gall to accuse THEM of terrorism. Even more bizarre Finland, Sweden, the U.S., NATO, EU or any nation or leader has, to my knowledge, pointed out Ankara’s glaring hypocrisy.  Therefore, Ankara is blocking uber-civilized Finland and Sweden from joining NATO. Ironically, Turkey — autocratic, infamously violative of human rights and systemically corrupt — TODAY would be unqualified to join NATO were it not already a member. The point is, who is Turkey to accuse others of terrorism? No objective analyst disputes Turkey’s longtime sponsorship of  the Islamic terror group ISIS and other terrorist groups:

NATO Sec-Gen Stoltenberg spinelessly implores us to empathize with Ankara’s demands. Meanwhile, Finnish and Swedish delegations have prostrated themselves before His Royal Highness, King Erdogan.

[Note: Maybe it’s because the USA has a nuclear weapons facility housed in Turkey that Erdogan blocked entrance in the coup attempt in 2016 (1) – Ed.]

[1] Guardian: The West Has Fear over safety of fifty nuclear bombs stored at Turkey’s INCIRLIK AIRBASE that is shared by USA & Turkey ... Erdogan closed the base in 2016 during coup attempt. The tactical weapons are legacies of the cold war and seen as militarily obsolete. However, in the absence of a Nato consensus on removing them, they remain in place as tokens of US commitment to Europe’s defence.  https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/17/turkey-coup-attempt-raises-fears-over-safety-of-us-nuclear-stockpile

5-9-22, Bosch Fawstin, FrontPage* -- Elon Musk is promising to bring changes to how Twitter does business, with a repeated focus on free speech and how important it is to civilization. And we’ll see how that manifests itself in the coming months when he takes full charge of its operations. Musk clearly sees that the way Twitter has done business has been unacceptable, as it’s been a very dirty business, with the leftists and Muslims behind it routinely smearing their non-violent and non-dangerous political and ideological opponents as “dangerous” and “violent,” as a pretext to ban them for good. They removed a sitting president, Trump, from their platform over the left’s Big Lie of “insurrection.” They shadow-banned truth-tellers, while boosting leftist liars. And they often talked about making the platform “safe,” while completely ignoring the Muslims who threaten death as often as Biden lies. 

3-8-22, * -- The Islamic terror group Houthis, the Iran-backed Shi’a jihad group in Yemen, recently held a student rally in the Yemeni city of Hajjah, but they weren’t exactly cheering on their favorite soccer team. The rally was televised on the Houthi network Al-Masirah TV, featured a student proclaiming, “Placing their trust in Allah, our missile forces are continuing to strike deep inside Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Allah willing, our UAVs will reach Tel Aviv and New York in the very near future.”

A UAV is an unmanned aerial vehicle, that is, a drone. No one in New York needs to worry about Houthi drones anytime soon, but the statement in itself once again revealed that Biden’s handlers’ foreign policy is based on fantasy and wishful thinking, not any rational assessment of reality. This is because in February 2021, just weeks after Old Joe Biden began his pretend-to-be-the-president act, the administration removed the Houthis from the list of terrorist groups. An unnamed State Dept wonk explained:

“Our action is due entirely to the humanitarian consequences of this last-minute designation from the prior administration, which the United Nations and humanitarian organizations have since made clear would accelerate the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.” [..] Will the Houthis’ continued belligerence lead Biden’s handlers to abandon their policy of appeasement toward the Islamic Republic of Iran and its clients? Will they drop their pipe dream of reviving the nuclear deal and begin to deal realistically with the genuine threat that Iran and its clients pose? Come on, man! Biden’s team promised America would be back, but didn’t say anything about Jimmy Carter coming around again as well. But here we are.

​

3-14-22, FrontPage* -- Greece’s Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs reports that there were 2,339 incidents of church desecrations in the country between 2015 and 2020. During this time the tiny nation of Greece was flooded with Islamic migrants.

• In 2020 there were 385 incidents against Christian churches and buildings, including “vandalism, burglary, theft, sacrilege, necromancy, robbery, placement of explosive devices and other desecrations.”
• Muslim migrants ransacked and transformed another church into their personal toilet. This public restroom was once the St. Catherine Church in Moria, a small town on the island of Lesvos, which was flooded with migrants who arrived via Turkey. “The smell inside is unbearable,” said a local. “[T]he metropolitan of Mytilene is aware of the situation in the area, nevertheless, he does not wish to deal with it for his own reasons.”
• In April 2021, Muslim migrants entered into and utterly desecrated a small church.  Proud of their handiwork, they also videotaped portions of the incident and uploaded it on TikTok [1]. 
• The Church of All Saints in Kallithea near Athens was set aflame by “Arabic speakers”

Modern Greece, of course, is ultimately experiencing what all European nations that have large Muslim migrant populations are experiencing.  All around Western Europe, churches are under attack:

• the Alps and Bavaria regions of Germany alone, countless crosses on some 200 churches were attacked and broken: “Police are currently dealing with church desecrations again and again… The perpetrators are often youthful rioters with a migration background.”
• Dülmen, Germany in 2016 not a day goes by without attacks on crosses and other Christian symbols outside of churches.  Before Christmas, in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, where more than a million Muslim migrants reside, some 50 public statues of the Lord Jesus and other Christian figures were beheaded and crucifixes broken.
• In France an average of two churches are reportedly attacked there every single day.  In 2019, vandals plundered and used human excrement to draw a cross on the Notre-Dame des Enfants Church in Nimes.
• In Nigeria Muslims have torched or destroyed some 20,000 churches over the last decade.

​2-23-22, FrontPage – On 2/4/22 Ole Joe Biden’s handlers informed Sheriff Michael Chapman of Loudoun County, Va. of its resettlement plan for thousands of unvetted Afghan Islamic migrants in cities and towns all over the United States.
 
Virginia was informed that on a weekly basis beginning February 19, 2022, 2000 migrants would be coming into their county until September 2022. This gave them just two weeks to prepare for the influx. The advance notice said: “DHS/FPS regional personnel advised the refugees would be transported by bus to the National Conference Center (NCC) where they would stay until their ultimate relocation elsewhere in the United States. [..] The refugees, for the most part, would enter the US from Islamic Qatar [therefore they are all Muslims].”
 
Let’s remember that in Oct. 2021, a Congressional delegation went to Qatar; it was led by Rep. Darell Issa (R-Calif.) he reported refugees from Afghanistan were coming to the USA: 

“They came with nothing. No Afghan I.D., no I.D. of any sorts. Those people were all forwarded on to the US & that’s quite an admission. So many yet find themselves in the US today based on just what they said.” Are any of these people we know absolutely nothing about going to Loudoun County? If so, once they get there, they’ll have it made: “DHS/FPS advised that the refugees will be provided cash and cell phones from non-government organizations and be required to remain on the NCC grounds.” Whether voting for Democrats was a requirement for keeping the dough rolling in wasn’t said; maybe it’s just understood. [..]
 
If it wasn’t before, it's now abundantly clear, that the Biden administration simply doesn’t care about the well-being of American citizens. What’s happening in Virginia is happening all over the USA with no regard for the possibility that there could be criminals and terrorists among the migrants.

​In phone call, Bennett and Biden discuss 'steps to block Iran' Nuclear Threats
2-6-22, TimesofIsrael -- Recently the Jewish state of Israel's Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and ole  Joe Biden had a phone conversation discussing the Iranian nuclear threat. ... The USA restored some sanctions relief to Iran’s atomic program, after world powers were believed to have made progress in negotiations =>

<= USA claims that the JCPOA is better than no curbs on Iran’s nuclear activity whatsoever [as IF Iran was in compliance before]. Jerusalem maintains that Iran will buckle if its feet are held to the fire through sanctions and a credible military threat. Israel fears that reviving the nuclear deal may leave Tehran only a few months away from having enough fissile material for an atomic bomb. 

1-24-22, Front Page -- Ole Joe Biden promised to reopen the consulate for the Muslims in Israel [aka "Palestinians"] but clearly that's not going to happen. Under the Vienna Convention of 1963, to which both Israel and the US are signatories, he would need to obtain the approval of Israel the host state. The Israel Muslims are small potatoes right now as old Joe has a lot on his plate:

1. a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine
2. a Chinese threat to Taiwan
3. the North Korean missiles
4. the endless wrangling with Iran in Vienna
5. Covid and so many Americans refusing the shots

The Abraham Accords show how little the Palestinians matter to the other Arabs.

​ Nides may think “we have to take care of the Palestinian people,” Since when did that become an American duty?
    Nides pointed to Biden’s renewal of hundreds of millions of dollars in humanitarian aid to the Palestinians that was cut by President Trump, amid Ramallah’s refusal to engage with his administration and they kept launching rockets and fire bombs at the Jewish civilians.
While the Palestinian Authority has renewed its ties with the Biden administration, it has maintained an overall boycott of the US embassy, objecting to its relocation from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. 
Nides repeated the Biden administration’s assertion that the US plans to reopen the 'Palestinian' consulate that historically served as the de facto mission to the Palestinians. 

Does Biden, Blinken and Sullivan understand that the UN's Resolution 242 allows Israel to retain the territory it deems necessary in order to have “secure [i.e. defensible] and recognized boundaries?" 

“New US envoy says ‘absolutely won’t’ visit settlements, to avoid inflaming tensions,” by Jacob Magid, Times of Israel. [Jewish 'settlements' in Judea and Samaria aka West Bank] ... but ... They’d be a little less anxious in Israel, Mr. Ambassador, if you’d do the right and handsome thing, and announce that “upon reconsideration, I intend to visit the five settlement blocs that Israelis keep telling me, will remain part of Israel, whatever else may be subject to negotiation. Yes, I’d like to see some things in the West Bank for myself. And I will.” More here
