Not so ironic. It is consistent with the Trump campaign. They were NEVER against Russian interference in our election. They welcomed it. Trump sees nothing wrong with trying to influence other countries’ elections. While in England, he openly advocated for the PM candidates that he favored.

Of course he doesn’t.Why would he? The US has been interfering in other countries since 1950. It’s a common perception that the US sees itself as the world’s sheriff. Nonsense of course. The US has always acted its own perceived best interest. It’s just unfortunate that it has used gunboat diplomacy as its preferred choice. Trump is merely following historical US policy.
My absolute fav was the removal and assassination of elected [communist] President Salvatore Allende of Chile in Sept 1973.–they added insult to injury by installing Augusto Pinochet, arguably the nastiest, most brutal dictator in South American history…
All the more reason to avoid POTUS’s like Nixon and Trump.
Absolute bullshit article. Pompeo didn’t say he would interfere with the election, he said he would “push back” at Corbyn IF he is elected. Very different but equally wrong actions:
Apart from appearing un-optimistic about the Peace Deal, he found time to comment on UK politics. When asked by an attendee; if Corbyn “is elected, would you be willing to work with us to take on actions if life becomes very difficult for Jews in the U.K.?” Pompeo gives a very clear response. Considering the allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential elections, the irony here is inescapable. The top US diplomat told those in attendance; “It could be that Mr. Corbyn manages to run the gantlet and get elected. It’s possible. You should know, we won’t wait for him to do those things to begin to push back. We will do our level best,“It’s too risky and too important and too hard once it’s already happened.”
The big issue here is that Israelis appear to have Pompeo on the take; not to mention Israel is OK with America potentially fucking with a British prime minister in order to make things nice for the few jews in that country. It’s not surprising as Israel has an unhealthy influence on both countries. After all, America and Britain created Israel in order to have a side door into the middle east post ww2.
An example of shitty journalism and lack of reading comprehension in this thread.
Pompeo is an israeli asset?
Thanks CC: for reading the topic article and calling out that the article is not consistent with the link title. I didn’t bother to read it.
Here’s what Pompeo says: ‘We won’t wait for him to do those things [get elected] to begin to push back. We will do our level best. It’s too risky and too important and too hard once it’s already happened.’
Also interesting to consider what the Trump administration finds ‘too risky’ about Corbyn getting elected and ‘too important’ to allow it to happen. You can be sure it ain’t anti-semitism he’s referring to.

You can be sure it ain’t anti-semitism he’s referring to.Since Britain has no ability whatsoever to pose a threat to America geopolitically, I think it's most likely really about anti-Semitism.
After all as Mrs Merkel already knows being a close friend of the United States is no guarantee against hostile illegal action. And it was the suave Barack Obama, not the brutish Donald Trump, who was tapping her personal mobile phone – an illegal act which has still not been apologised for and demands by Germany for the transcripts have been denied
You clearly want to keep passing on your Russian masters’ propaganda, but you really should check stuff out before you claim something.

The German investigation eventually concluded that the NSA did not tap Merkel’s phone. The above link was during that investigation when they were beginning to come to that conclusion.
July 2015 vs your december 2014 report. Please keep up.
How about this 2017 article about a German inquiry of Merkel re: the alleged tapping in which:
" Merkel said that it was never proven that the American intelligence service had listened in on her conversations."
https://www.dw.com/en/merkel-testifies-on-nsa-spying-affair/a-37576690
It gets funnier
She added that she had received assurances from Obama that her phone was not tapped and wouldn’t be in the future.
When asked why she didn’t have her cell phone forensically examined, she said that she didn’t want to give additional insights into her communication habits
So you are saying that Obama was lying and that Merkel was covering up for him, when Obama was no longer even in office.
This is Feb 2015. Seems this was out in the open before Wikileaks got involved. They do this a lot, claim to have uncovered something when really they haven’t. Anything else is just minor details in my opinion. I’m not excusing anyone’s behavior, but I don’t have a lot of say in what the NSA does.
One third of the world under US sanctions: Report
Four consecutive US governments have incrementally expanded their reliance on using the US dollar as a weapon of war, forcing nations across the world to create alternative financial systems and pursue de-dollarization
News Desk

The US government imposes sanctions on a third of all nations on earth in a situation that disproportionately affects low-income countries – 60 percent of which are under US sanctions of some kind – according to an analysis of the White House’s long-standing policy of economic warfare, by the Washington Post.
This increased during the last four US governments and reached a fever pitch under President Biden, who imposed over 6,000 sanctions in just two years.
“It is the only thing between diplomacy and war and, as such, has become the most important foreign policy tool in the US arsenal,” Bill Reinsch, a former Commerce Department official, told the US news outlet. “And yet, nobody in government is sure this whole strategy is even working.”
