As well , we believe we need to hold the Netanyahu government accountable , as all governments must be held accountable . Right now we are paying $ 8 million a day to maintain the Israeli army , which is in flagrant violation and committing war crimes in these periodic massacres .
This included engagement with controversial international political groups and countries that had hostile relationships with the United States . Sanders found multiple ways to involve himself in the war between the Sandinistas and the Contras in Nicaragua . In addition to traveling to the country and attending Ortega ’s rally , Sanders ’s Progressive Coalition on the board of aldermen passed a 1985 resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Ronald Reagan ’s embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionof Nicaragua . Sanders also established a sister city relationship with a Nicaraguan town , Puerto Cabezas . His actions drew such attention that the “ Doonesbury ” comic strip infamously nicknamed Sanders ’ city the “ People ’s Republic of Burlington ” after he took office .
In February , Russia 's Ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov said Turkish exports to Russia fell by two - thirds soon after the jet incident . In November 2015 , a Russian pilot died when his plane was shot down over Syria by a Turkish fighter . Following the incident , Moscow introduced a package of economic measures against Ankara – a visa regime , travel ban , as well as an embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionon agricultural products and on hiring Turkish nationals . All major projects were also frozen .
He reportedly held a secret “ First Contact Meeting ” with ET visitors during the early hours of February 21 , 1954 , at Edwards Air Force Base in southern California . A series of follow - up meetings led to the signing of a treaty between the U.S. movement and the Gray aliens . Bassett went on to claim that he believes that the reason why other governments around the world have not made UFO and ET disclosures independently is that following the famous incident at Roswell , New Mexico , in 1947 , when U.S. authorities reportedly recovered a crashed alien UFO from a ranch near the town , governments around the world agreed to a “ truth embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanction. ” And despite the fact that several private individuals who witnessed the crash or had spoken with witnesses came forward over the decades to make critical disclosures , the “ truth embargo ” has remained in place .

Clinton witnessed how the leaders of other Latin American countries were perplexed by the United States ' antiquated policy toward the island nation of Cuba and how our treatment of the country was hurting our reputation in the eyes of our allies . President Obama heeded Clinton 's sound advice and the workings for what became a thawing of the relationship with Cuba were based on recommendations that Clinton had made while Secretary of State . Even now as a candidate for president , Clinton remains fighting for this cause and has continuously called for the trade embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionwith Cuba to be lifted as a further sign of the newfound goodwill between our two nations . People like Bernie Sanders , Jorge Ramos , and Chris Matthews know that Hillary Clinton is the most polished political candidate when it comes to foreign policy that many of us have seen in our lifetime . It is undoubtedly a strength of hers and something that sets her head and shoulders above her Democratic opponent when the topic is broached at any debate or town hall .
Bush were making war fun again – Grenada , Afghanistan , Panama and the Persian Gulf , all relatively low - cost conflicts with victorious conclusions . By the 1990s , Bill Clinton ( along with Hillary Clinton ) saw militarism as just another issue to be triangulated . With the Soviet Union ’s collapse , the Clinton-42 administration saw the opportunity for more low - cost tough - guy / gal - ism – continuing a harsh embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionand periodic air strikes against Iraq ( causing the deaths of a U.N.-estimated half million children ) ; blasting Serbia into submission over Kosovo ; and expanding NATO to the east toward Russia ’s borders . But Bill Clinton did balk at the more extreme neocon ideas , such as the one from the Project for the New American Century for a militarily enforced “ regime change ” in Iraq . That had to wait for George W. Bush in the wake of the 9/11 attacks .
His first two points highlight that Trump has literally no understanding of the details of Cuba policy — an issue that matters greatly to Florida 's politically influential Cuban - American community . The last part of his answer is the kind of hard line on Cuba that 's popular among Cuban - American conservatives , many of whom fled the revolution and have n't forgiven the Castro regime for their dispossession . Substantively , Rubio 's position — keep up the US embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionon commerce with and travel to Cuba until they democratize — is a proven failure . The US embargo has been in place for decades , in various forms , and has had no discernible effect on Cuba 's human rights record . It is currently opposed by 97 percent of the world 's countries as well as a majority of Americans .
The Obama administration does have more drastic options . If the U.S. wanted to truly damage Russia ’s economy , it could bar American banks from buying Russian ruble bonds , or cut the country off from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication , or SWIFT . The “ nuclear option ” would be an embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionon Russian energy exports . The U.S. official said that option was n’t on the table . Europe gets about one - third of its energy supplies from Russia , so any such embargo would deal a severe blow to already struggling European economies .
The Sanders campaign believes that the Saudis are the solution and are looking to the Saudis to fight our fight against ISIS . We 're arguing for a peace offensive to stop ISIS in its tracks and end the wars for oil . And a peace offensive basically consists of a weapons embargo , because they 're mostly coming from the U.S. We can begin this weapons embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanction, and we can also impound the funding that is the bank account of the countries that are funding terrorism .

We ’re still investigating . But it was a massive DDoS attack , and it took place in the early evening just as prominent cable news programs were discussing Kurt Eichenwald ’s explosive investigation into how Donald Trump ’s company broke the law by breaking the United States embargo against Cuba . A distributed denial - of - service ( DDoS ) attack came , the newsmagazine suggests , in response to its cover story , “ How Donald Trump ’s company violated the United States embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionagainst Cuba . ” Details about the volume of the attack or what made it sophisticated were not immediately available .

" We do n't use cluster bombs in Sanaa , this is clear and definite , " he said . But on Thursday , the European Parliament called on the European Union to impose an arms embargo on Saudi Arabia in response to allegations of human rights violations in Yemen . " Our duty is to the civilians in Yemen , and given widespread and very valid concerns over the conduct of the war by Saudi forces , our call for an E.U .- wide arms embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionis proportionate and necessary , " said Alyn Smith , one of the lawmakers who spearheaded the vote . " The Saudis say they are investigating what they call incidents , and I welcome that scrutiny . But that is not enough -- humanitarian NGOs have asked for an independent inquiry that meets international law standards , " he said .

Willian Hernandez , a mechanic and a barber , loves his Cuban homeland . And he ’s grateful to Barack Obama for restoring America ’s ties with the communist - led island last year , a taboo - shattering move that many hope will bring prosperity to this time - capsule of a country .

Later Friday afternoon , Impoco emailed TPM that in an initial investigation , the “ main ” IP addresses linked to the attack were found to be Russian .
As in Afghanistan , then in Bosnia , and now in Syria , the story of how entire generations came to be radicalized is incomplete without considering the role of Russian aggression . In Afghanistan the Soviets invaded — only to provide the perfect context for a nascent al Qaeda . In Bosnia , Russia supplied the Serbs while the International Community stood by its arms embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanction— paving the way for the Bosnian genocide that radicalized an entire generation of European Muslims . And now in Syria , Putin props up his puppet Assad while destroying entire Syrian cities — and completely ignoring ISIS - held areas . Meanwhile , the Far - Left gleefully denounce lackadaisical American “ colonialism ” from Russian state television channels or pontificate over American ills , as asylum seekers in Moscow .
It includes food and agricultural products , as well as automotive sector , " he added . Turkey 's foreign minister also said that Putin asked Erdogan to take measures on products that are embargoed by Russia , but still reaches the country via Turkey . " We will continue our embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionto these countries , " Cavusoglu said . " We wo n't let this happen . Why would another country 's products reach Russia , instead of our own ? "

' ” he wrote , referring to former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad . Powell said that while all his “ buddies ” in Abu Dhabi wanted an Iranian nuclear deal and had been working for over a decade to reach one , he was unconvinced . “ I do n’t trust Iranians — almost went to jail over Iran - Contra , ” he wrote , referring to a political scandal in the United States in the late 1980s , in which American officials were caught facilitating weapons sales to Iran , despite an arms embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanction. Powell also cast doubt on the amount of time that Netanyahu and others estimated that it would take Iran to develop a nuclear bomb . “ Bibi likes to say ‘ a year away , ’ as do our intel guys .
Scarborough : But , again : He kills journalists that do n't agree with him . Trump : Well , I think that our country does plenty of killing , too , Joe .

The pretense was that this not - really - NATO operation , with the United States “ supporting ” it , was merely to enforce UN resolutions about protecting Libyans from Khadafy . Zenko , however , argues that the coalition “ actively chose not to enforce ” the resolution prohibiting arms transfers to either side in the civil war . While a senior NATO military official carefully said , “ I have no information about ” arms coming into Libya , and another carefully said that no violation of the arms embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanction“ has been reported , ” Zenko writes that “ Egypt and Qatar were shipping advanced weapons to rebel groups the whole time , with the blessing of the Obama administration . ” On May 24 , 2011 , NATO released a video showing sailors from a Canadian frigate , supposedly enforcing the arms embargo , boarding a rebel tugboat laden with arms . The video ’s narrator says : “ NATO decides not to impede the rebels and to let the tugboat proceed . ” Zenko writes , “ A NATO surface vessel stationed in the Mediterranean to enforce an arms embargo did exactly the opposite . ”
In July , Rubio mocked Clinton in a tweet for wanting to “ reset ” relations with Cuba , just as she had in her “ failed ” attempt to forge new diplomatic channels with Russia . “ Here we go , ” speechwriter Dan Schwerin wrote his colleagues when he saw the tweet .

A court document obtained by ICIJ indicates that Bank Melli ’s rent on more than 8,000 square feet on the GM Building ’s 44th floor may have topped half a million dollars a year . The legal ramifications of the Trump Organization taking rent payments from Bank Melli are unclear . At the time , the U.S. had a sweeping embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionin place which prohibited Americans from doing business with Iran , including receiving rent payments . However , some Iranian organizations were granted licenses exempting specific transactions from sanctions . If the payments were licensed , it may have been legally difficult for the Trump Organization to evict the bank .

The embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanction, restricting imports of most food from the European Union , the United States , Canada , Australia and Norway , was instituted in 2014 in response to economic sanctions placed on Russia for its military and political involvement in Ukraine .
