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 . Campaign staff began a spirited exchange over how to punch back at the upstart senator , who favored keeping a trade embargotransaction.transaction.embargosanctionborn of the Cold War in place against the communist island nation . “ John , did you have in mind having HRC hit back , or campaign ? ” senior Clinton aide Jake Sullivan asked Podesta . “ I ’m good with either .
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 .
Mr. Trump said Mrs. Clinton was “ fraudulent ” in her misrepresentation of his foreign policy positions , explaining that he supported global alliances , but believed that the United States should shoulder less of the financial burden . “ Our country ca n’t afford to protect the world anymore , and at least not get reimbursed for it , ” he said . Mrs. Clinton has delivered a series of foreign policy speeches over the course of the nominating fight that included calling for accelerating the American - led operation to defeat the Islamic State , ending the economic embargotransaction.transfermoney.embargosanctionagainst Cuba , and pledging unwavering support of Israel . And she had already begun to lay the groundwork against what she called Mr. Trump ’s “ reckless actions ” on foreign policy . The San Diego speech , to be delivered in a city known for its military presence at a time when Mr. Trump is facing scrutiny over his donations to veterans ’ groups , will present a more sweeping — and fearsome — portrayal of Mr. Trump , one that the Clinton campaign will deliver like a drumbeat to voters in the coming months .

A. As I said , it is not only about Syria , it ’s about the rest of the world .

So , we have had a major hand in the chaos of Syria and , indeed , the major hand instigating the chaos in the Middle East . So , being the wealthiest country in the world , it ’s very important that we do our share in caring for the Syrian refugees . But , let me say , it ’s also really important that we go back to this crisis in Syria and in the Middle East , and instead of continuing to pour gasoline on this fire , we need to take a stand on behalf of a weapons embargotransaction.transferownership.embargosanctionto all parties , since our weapons are getting into the hands of all parties . We need to impose a freeze on the bank accounts of our allies that are continuing to fund terrorist enterprises , and to work with the Turks , who are our ally — in name , at least — to close down their border to the flow of terrorist militias across their border . That is the contribution that we need to make .

The rest is “ analysis ” by various “ experts , ” claiming that the whole thing is a diversion – oddly , the same line peddled by Ambassador Pyatt – to which are added the author ’s own description of Putin ’s reaction as “ menacing . ” The BBC helpfully adds that , while Panov may have been a “ volunteer ” fighter , he was “ more recently ” associated with “ a charitable organization . ” Since when do members of “ charitable ” organizations wear camouflage while sneaking over heavily - guarded borders in the dead of night ? So there ’s an effective embargotransaction.transfermoney.embargosanctionon reliable news from this dark corner of the battlefield between East and West . Yet it ’s possible , if we glean facts from disparate sources , to outline how the incident unfolded . CNN , after shilly - shallying for four or five paragraphs – reporting Poroshenko ’s denials and Ukrainian military measures to counteract a long - touted and entirely mythical Russian “ invasion ” – finally coughs up some facts , citing Tass :
Both Moscow and the Trump campaign have said those claims were “ absurd ” . Orban ’s government has unnerved some partners with its close ties to Russia . It has secured large business deals with Moscow , such as the construction of a big new nuclear power plant , and criticised the European Union ’s embargotransaction.transferownership.embargosanctionon Russia . “ Hungary ’s foreign policy has borne an eerie resemblance to Russian diplomatic interests in recent years , and indeed has been little short of an extended arm of the Russian government in foreign policy matters , ” the Political Capital analyst Peter Kreko said . “ I do n’t think Putin is behind the budding relationship between Trump and Orban but both are interested in improving Russian ties , so theirs is an alliance of interests . ”
