Trump under pressure to Demonstrate Results in first 100 days
As Donald Trump nears his first 100 days in power, he is coming under pressure to explain what he has thus far achieved. According to Politico:
President Donald Trump on Friday claimed that he won’t get the credit he deserves for the first 100 days of his administration, seeking to manage expectations around what he called the “ridiculous standard” of the upcoming milestone date.
“No matter how much I accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, & it has been a lot (including S.C.), media will kill!” Trump tweeted on Friday morning.
By Friday afternoon, Trump went further, arguing that next week is irrelevant.
“Next week doesn’t matter,” he told reporters.
In fact Trump has spent most of his initial period in office until now playing out internal wars within government with the political establishment and the various factions that constitute it. The stark failure of his childish attempt at reforming healthcare forced him to re-evaluate his agenda and even his personal team, distancing himself from his chief strategist Steve Bannon. Trump is coming to realise what all American presidents quickly realise - that he can do nothing without the cooperation of the American establishment.
The idea of Democracy, which literally means sovereignty of the people, is of course a crude fantasy employed to mask the oligarchic hegemony of the Western elite. Although the most powerful Western agency, the American presidency is actually, by design, deliberately weakened through ‘checks and balances’ in accordance with the Western principle of ‘Separation of Powers’. These are constructed not for democracy, as is claimed, but so that the American political elite is able to continue to maintain control over the American president. Only Islam liberates man from subservience to other men, by turning him to the service of his Creator alone.
Afghan Mujahideen Attack in North while Americans Fight in East
The American-imposed regime in Kabul came under further pressure from the Afghan Mujahideen yesterday after an attack at an army base in the Balkh province. According to the New York Times:
Dozens of soldiers were killed on Friday when Taliban gunmen and suicide bombers in military uniforms stormed an Afghan Army base in northern Afghanistan, Afghan and Western officials said.
In fact the Americans have come to realise that there cannot be any victory on the battlefield against sincere Mujahideen in Afghanistan or anywhere else. This is why the Americans, instead of targeting their military strength against the Mujahideen, are instead focussing on the so-called ISIS group in Afghanistan, who are in fact militants attacking Pakistan, for example through the dropping of the MOAB last week in eastern Afghanistan. America’s purpose is to bring Pakistan to carry out an American political agenda to neutralise the Afghan Taliban through power sharing in the Kabul regime.
With Allah’s permission, the sincere Mujahideen will never accept to compromise with American in return for power-sharing in a Western back regime implementing non-Islamic systems and laws.
Pence Visits Australia to Build Further Pressure on China
Trump began his presidency by ridiculing Australia over an immigration deal concluded under the Obama administration. But now US Vice President Mike Pence is in Australia to undo that misstep and build pressure against China over North Korea. According to the Washington Post:
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and Australia’s prime minister swept aside any lingering tensions Saturday over an Obama era agreement on the resettlement of refugees, joining forces to urge China to take a greater role in pressuring North Korea to scuttle its nuclear weapons and missile program.
In fact, America is the one that provokes North Korea, only in order to provide an excuse to confront China. The capitalist American superpower is struggling to prevent China’s increasing military dominance within the South China Sea and over the countries neighbouring it. Obama’s policy of encirclement coupled with engagement failed to arrest China’s ascendancy. Now America needs to embark on a far more confrontational approach to limit Chinese military ambitions.
It is the nature of the secular Capitalist ideology that it provokes nations into conflict over material power. The world was a very different place just three centuries ago when the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" was the world’s superpower. Countries sought peace and valued the ethical, the humanitarian and the spiritual in addition to material prosperity. China had even dismantled its deep water navy and drawn within itself. It is the rapacious West and the secular Capitalist ideology that is driving the world towards conflict and destruction. The soon to be re-established righteous Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" State on the method of the Prophet (saw) will, with the permission and blessings of Allah (swt), return the entire world to peace and prosperity, through the practise of the noble Deen of Islam and through reclaiming its rightful role as superpower and sincere guardian of humanity.
