Trump is an extraordinary individual, talented individual. Putin said, “Well, even now, I believe that former U.S. By removing sanctions limiting the completion of Russia’s Nordstream pipeline to Europe with the flick of a pen, he has awarded Russia MORE revenue and (more importantly) LEVERAGE over Europe who will be afraid to freeze in the dark if he cuts supplies in the Winter as Russia once did before.ĭoes this sound like Joe is someone who strikes fear into the heart of Russia? By abandoning American energy superpower status, he is making America (and her allies) MORE dependant on various tinpot tyrants who use energy revenue to prop up their regimes. So far, he’s given Moscow pretty much everything they’ve wanted. How exactly has tough guy Joe put Putin in his place over this? Russian experts traveled to Iran this spring to help train crews who would operate the satellite from a newly built facility near Karaj west of Tehran, it added.Ī nation that regularly gathers in the streets to chant ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel’ has a spy satellite to track our allies’ movements? What could possibly go wrong? …While the Kanopus-V is marketed for civilian use, leaders of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps have made several trips to Russia since 2018 to help negotiate the agreement, the Post said. …The satellite would allow “continuous monitoring of facilities ranging from Persian Gulf oil refineries and Israeli military bases to Iraqi barracks that house US troops,” said the paper, which cited three unnamed sources – a current and a former US official and a senior Middle Eastern government official briefed on the sale. The satellite is projected to have the ability to track long-range targets, including IDF bases, as well as oil refineries throughout the Persian Gulf and Iraqi bases for US troops. Russia is preparing to provide Iran with an advanced satellite that would enable it to track potential military targets across the Middle East, the Washington Post reported on Thursday. How else do you explain him doing nothing about Russia giving Iran a spy satellite to use against Israel who they call the little Satan and America the big Satan.
Unlike Presidents before him, Trump was slow to deploy military assets (except against known terrorist entities like ISIS, Al Baghdadi, and Solemani.) Even his pressure on containing Iran favored the use of non-lethal economic might.ĭuring the debate, Joe lobbed now dis-proven media lies at Trump, and thumped his chest about how 45 was really ‘Putin’s Puppy’ and Joe was going to breeze into Moscow and show him what a real tough guy looks like.īut Joe doesn’t seem to be doing very much deterring.
When Trump was in office, he knew which thumbscrews would get the attention of his friends and his foes, instincts honed from a lifetime of billion-dollar negotiations.
