Ronald Reagan , viewed as an icon by most Republicans , famously granted asylum to hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing conflicts in Southeast Asia and Central America , and even invoked America ’s generous refugee policy in his 1989 presidential farewell speech .

The Washington - based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists , which helped coordinate reporting on the leak , said the documents indicate Russian cellist Sergei Roldugin acted as a front man for a network of Putin loyalists and , perhaps , the president himself .

No doubt within a matter of months , Daesh will be pushed out of Iraq and Syria and forced to return to their own Wahhabi nations such as Saudi Arabia , thanks in large part to the Russian - Iran - China alliance against ISIS . This will in turn cause increasing disruption within Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf Nations such as Qatar , Kuwait , Jordan , Egypt , and Libya , and also Europe . The Iraqi military operation will be ruthlessly efficient at cleansing the land of Mosul from the disease of ISIS , and it will in turn retract and try and escape movement.transportperson.evacuationrescue into the Persian Gulf Nations to regroup and re - examine their long term options . Large amounts may even try to travel to Europe — more specifically Germany — as “ refugees ” , but the growing hostility in Europe for the violence and social unrest developing as a result of forcibly mixing the European and Middle East cultures and peoples may cause a civil war and right wing backlash against all immigration .

No one knows this better than Gary Berntsen , the CIA officer in charge of the operation at Tora Bora who , with the Afghan forces he commanded , had managed to trap the chief perpetrator of 9/11 , Osama bin Laden , and his fellow terrorists in their mountain redoubt in mid - December of 2001 , only two months after 9/11 . With a Delta Force officer standing by his side , Berntsen drafted a message to his superiors back in Washington that he told me ended with this line : “ Let ’s kill this baby in the crib . ” Berntsen wanted to send in troops — fewer than 1,000 Army Rangers — who could have closed the noose ( his position was backed by Marine Gen. James Mattis , who wanted to send in his own troops ) , but George W. Bush , on the advice of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney , turned him down , believing that Pakistani forces would trap bin Laden as the Afghans forced him southward into Pakistan .

Among them are claims that “ an army ” of Haitian refugees escaping movement.transportperson.evacuationrescue the devastating 2010 earthquake there sought to overthrow Brazil ’s government , that the official retirement age was being raised to 95 and that President Dilma Rousseff was overseeing a plan to insert microchips into Brazilian citizens . “ Do not share lies ! ” warns the website , which asks people to send the authorities the sources of wacky stories they see online . “ That way , you ’re helping to build a country based on truth and justice . ”

But while Washington and Moscow have both expressed hope they can find a way to cooperate against IS , Kerry 's proposal was already in trouble due to the competing objectives of the Cold War - era foes as well as resistance from U.S. military and intelligence officials . U.S. officials questioned Russian and Syrian claims that their aim in evacuating civilians from Aleppo was to clear the way for humanitarian assistance to reach the besieged city , where 200,000 - 300,000 civilians remain with only two to three weeks of food on hand . " Why would you evacuate movement.transportperson.evacuationrescue a city that you wanted to send humanitarian aid to ? " asked one official . " At first glance , that would appear to be a unilateral effort by Moscow and Assad to pre - empt Kerry 's demand for ending the siege of Aleppo before starting negotiations on the larger issues .

If you control the media and you 've taken away everybody 's civil liberties , and you jail dissidents , that 's what happens , " Obama said . Throughout the campaign , the real - estate magnate and his campaign have n't shied away from their closer relationship with Russia than many past Republican nominees . Former campaign chair Paul Manafort was a longtime consultant for former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych , a Putin ally who sought asylum in Russia after civil unrest in his own country forced him to flee movement.transportperson.evacuationrescue . Last week , Trump lauded Putin 's ability to exert " very strong control over his country , " and both Trump and his running mate , Indiana Gov.

There are two major reasons that so many questions remain about the nature of Manafort ’s work for Yanukovych and the Party of Regions . The first is simple : Manafort has refused to describe it . Much of what is known emerged only after Yanukovych fled movement.transportperson.evacuationrescue Ukraine in 2014 , ousted by a popular revolution , and volunteer divers retrieved thousands of internal government documents that had been hastily thrown into a lake at his presidential retreat . Additional paperwork was found tossed inside a Ukrainian prosecutor ’s sauna . The documents were dried and assembled by local journalists ; some offer details on Manafort ’s role in Yanukovych ’s reign , helping to coordinate a U.S. law firm ’s favorable inquiry into Yanukovych ’s arrest of a political opposition leader .
