Trump’s Crude Remarks about US Troops Reveal Actual Thinking of the American Elite
As the American presidential election nears, more revelations about US President Donald Trump are finding their way to the media, indicating a shift in US establishment support towards his Democratic Party opponent Joe Biden. According to the Boston Globe:
President Donald Trump defended himself Friday against accusations that he mocked American war dead as his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, intensified efforts to frame the election as a referendum on the president’s character.
The allegations, sourced anonymously in The Atlantic, describe multiple offensive comments by the president toward fallen and captured U.S. service-members, including calling World War I dead at an American military cemetery in France as “losers” and “suckers” in 2018. The reported comments, many of which were confirmed independently by the AP, are shining a fresh light on Trump’s previous public disparaging of American troops and military families and opening a new political vulnerability for the president less than two months from Election Day.
One of the many reasons that makes Western military power less effective than it appears to be is the low esteem in which military service is held. Whilst politicians publicly praise the wartime sacrifices of military personnel, members of the American elite have often made every effort to avoid serving in the military altogether even during times of obligatory general conscription. Although these revelations are specifically about Trump, they are indicative of a more widespread perception of this kind within the American elite.
Clash between America and Europe over the International Criminal Court
It is obvious to those who are politically aware that Western concepts of International law and justice are mere conveniences to be used whenever it suits Western objectives. America uses the idea of international law when it serves its interests to do so, and abandons it whenever it wants. European powers, meanwhile, use the idea of international law to serve their own interests, which include competing with America. The International Criminal Court is one such European initiative to compete against American imperialism and secure European imperialism. According to Politico:
The EU on Thursday urged the United States to reverse sanctions against staff at the International Criminal Court, calling the move “unacceptable and unprecedented.”
“The sanctions announced by the United States administration ... are unacceptable and unprecedented measures that attempt to obstruct the Court’s investigations and judicial proceedings,” the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a statement.
“The ICC must be able to work independently and impartially, free from outside interference. The United States should reconsider its position and reverse the measures it has taken. Impunity must never be an option.”
Washington on Wednesday announced penalties against ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and Phakiso Mochochoko, head of the ICC’s Jurisdiction, Complementarity and Cooperation Division. The sanctions followed an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in June, authorizing the possible imposition of economic sanctions and visa restrictions on ICC employees involved in an investigation into whether American forces committed war crimes in Afghanistan.
The United States, which is not a party to the international court and does not recognize its authority, has called the ICC “corrupt,” “grossly ineffective,” and “highly politicized.” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has also accused the court, which is based in The Hague, of being on “ideological crusade against American service members.”
The very concept of international law is fundamentally flawed. Law requires a supreme executive authority to enforce it. By definition, there can be no such authority in international affairs. All that can exist is the international tradition, which countries have been bound by for millennia. But the West have projected their own Western secular material norms into the idea of international law and then used it to support Western hegemony over the entire world, in the name of building a just international system. With Allah’s permission, the Muslim Ummah shall re-establish her state and introduce the world to the true and just intellectual perspective regarding international affairs.
In Contradiction to Public Remarks, Netanyahu Revealed to be Fully behind US Agenda
According to the New York Times:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel privately went along with a plan for the Trump administration to sell advanced weapons to the United Arab Emirates, despite publicly saying later that he opposed the arms deal, according to officials familiar with the negotiations.
Mr. Netanyahu chose not to try to block the deal as he took part in a broader effort in recent months to secure a diplomatic breakthrough normalizing relations between Israel and the Emirates, the officials said. President Trump announced the initiative to great fanfare last month, without mentioning the arms discussions that were proceeding on a parallel track.
But after news of the arms sale became public late last month, the Israeli prime minister repeatedly denied that he had given assurances to the Trump administration that Israel would not oppose the Emirati arms deal. The officials said Mr. Netanyahu’s public statements were false. He then stopped publicly complaining about the proposed arms sale after a meeting with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Jerusalem last week that brought the Israeli prime minister back in line, the officials said.
The illegal Jewish Crusader state is no more than a tool in the hands of America, a successor to the Crusader states a thousand years ago. The British supported the Zionist movement as one element of its plan to challenge the Ottoman Caliphate (Uthmani Khilafah). When the Khilafah fell and Britain had occupied all that it wished of Muslim lands then the British had no further use for Zionism, so the project was taken up by the new superpower, America, in order to extend its reach into Muslim lands. After the rise of Islam, America gave even greater priority to the preservation of the illegal entity.
The foolish Jews in the illegal entity have no serious thinking of their own, and have only been deceived by their own greed and superficiality. The West will continue using them to do the filthy and dangerous work of directly confronting Muslims that the West themselves are fearful of doing, as seen in their rush to exit Afghanistan and Iraq.
With Allah’s permission, the Muslim Ummah shall soon re-establish the Islamic Khilafah (Caliphate) State on the method of the Prophet (saw) to fully liberate not only Palestine but all occupied territories, rebuild the pure Islamic lifestyle, unify Muslim lands and carry the light of Islam to the entire world.
