ZitatUS-Schusswaffenboom auf Kosten der Kinder
1.676 Kinder und Jugendliche sind laut Gun Violence Archive im Jahr 2022 in den USA erschossen worden. Waffengewalt hat damit – Suizide miteingerechnet – Verkehrsunfälle und Krankheiten als häufigste Todesursachen von unter 19-Jährigen in den USA abgelöst. Ingesamt stieg die Zahl der im Umlauf befindlichen Waffen und auch die der Todesopfer in den vergangenen Jahren stark. Und eine Trendumkehr ist nicht in Sicht.

ZitatSpeaker Kevin McCarthy to meet Taiwan’s president in US to avoid China’s ire
Waas? Was'n das für 'ne Lusche?!
Sie schreiben allerdings das geht von Tsai Ing-wen aus:
ZitatTaiwan’s president Tsai Ing-wen has convinced US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to meet in California rather than Taipei to avoid an aggressive Chinese military response, as tensions run high between Beijing and Washington.
Das halte ich für glaubwürdig, denn diese US/Pelosi-Aktion hat sie politisch beschädigt. Neben der Fraktion, die eine Wiedervereinigung mit China will, haben auch diejenigen, die den Status Quo erhalten wollen, den Vorgang negativ aufgenommen. Ich denke beide zusammen sind die Mehrheit in Taiwan.

Im US-Kongress gab es eine Querfront
aus der progressiven "squad" und anderen Mitgliedern der Demokratischen Partei, sowie einigen hardcore-TrumpistInnen und weiteren RepublkanerInnen, die einen Gesetzentwurf des Republikaners Matt Gaetz zum Abzug der US-Truppen aus Syrien unterstützt haben.
Selbtverständlich wurde dieser Entwurf der Schande (der sicher dem Syrienhitler Assad und damit auch seinem dunklen Overlord, Russenhitler Putin, in die Hände gespielt hätte) im Repräsentantenhaus von wertegeleiteten Abgeordneten beider Parteien abgeschmettert.
House Hawks Kill Bipartisan Effort to End War in Syria
Matt Gaetz sponsored a resolution in the House, supported by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, to force congressional oversight of the continued U.S. military presence in Syria.
[...] The resolution was ultimately voted down on Wednesday night with 47 Republicans joining 56 Democrats in support of the bill. Despite the resolution’s defeat, it was just the beginning in a string of efforts to end U.S. military operations abroad, according to its sponsor.
“Syria is my leadoff hitter. We’re going to take a trip around the globe. We may go to Yemen. We may have stops in Niger. We may have stops in Sudan. Maybe ultimately, we’ll end in Ukraine,” Gaetz said.
The Obama administration’s ambassador to Syria, a leading voice in favor of aggressively confronting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at the time, also backed the effort by Gaetz to force U.S. withdrawal from the country within 180 days.
Robert Ford argued in a letter to Congress in support of Gaetz’s legislation that the U.S. mission has no clear objective. “After more than eight years of military operations in Syria there is no definition of what the ‘enduring’ defeat of ISIS would look like,” Ford writes in the letter, which was obtained by The Intercept and confirmed as authentic by Ford. “We owe our soldiers serving there in harm’s way a serious debate about whether their mission is, in fact, achievable.”
On Tuesday evening, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, or CPC, circulated a message to its membership urging a yes vote, producing a serious bipartisan coalition. “This measure to remove unauthorized deployment of U.S. Armed Forces in Syria unless a specific statutory authorization is enacted within six months is largely consistent with previous bipartisan efforts led by CPC Members to terminate such unauthorized military presence within one year, for which 130 House Democrats voted yes last year,” read the message to members.[...]
CPC member Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who voted for the resolution, said that attitudes toward U.S. involvement in foreign conflict were shifting on both sides of the aisle.
“There is a new generation of thinking on two central issues: a concern about wars and entanglements over the last 20 years that have not made us safer and a concern over the offshoring of our domestic production over bad trade deals that have left the working class and middle class poorer,” Khanna said. “I believe that this new generation of political leaders can help fix those two mistakes that the country has made and that there is an emerging consensus that we should not have our troops fighting overseas without congressional authorization.”[...]
“We have enough leverage, in my view, with Turkey to help protect the Kurds,” Khanna said when asked whether he shared Balint’s concern. “We could provide the Kurds with aid and support like we have in Ukraine, and if the president wants to make the case for a certain presence that is required for America to protect the Kurds, then he should come to Congress and work with us to make that case.”
Trump, while urging a withdrawal, also said he’d leave behind a force to “keep the oil.” He suggested a major American firm like Exxon Mobil would come in to exploit Syria’s oil, but so far, no big American company has been involved, and the Kurds are exporting oil largely in collaboration with Assad’s government. [...]
Was Khanna mit "leverage" gegenüber der Türkei zum Schutz der Kurden meint, ist mir allerdings schleierhaft. Wenn es da irgendeinen Hebel gibt, dann hätte man den eigentlich so langsam mal umlegen müssen, um Erdogan von weiteren vökrerrechtswidrigen Agriffen gegen die Syrischen Kurden abzuhalten.
In deutschen Qualitätsmedien ist es jedenfalls kein Thema. dass die USA unter dem Vorwand, dort als Schutz gegen den IS zu dienen, immer noch völkerrechtswidrig Truppen im Norden Syriens stationiert haben.
Interessant ist auch, dass der republikanische Gesetzentwurf mehr demokratische als republikanische Stimmen bekam.

Nehme an, Trump dachte die USA bekommen das Erdöl, aber geht wohl eher darum der syrischen Regierung die Ölrente weitgehend zu entziehen und die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung zu hemmen.

ZitatWidodo urges Indonesia to abandon Visa, MasterCard to be 'independent'
This is in light of the implementation of a Domestic Government Credit Card payment system in March last year by the world’s seventh-largest economy.
As part of the new payment system launched last year, Indonesian President Joko Widodo called on Wednesday for his country to abandon the use of foreign payment networks like MasterCard and Visa and encouraged the public to adopt credit cards made by domestic banks.
At a local business gathering, Widodo emphasized that "everyone [in Indonesia] should be able to use" Indonesian-manufactured credit cards so that "we can be independent," as he explained that the aim is to avoid risking transactions in case of a geopolitical disruption that could economically affect the country.
According to the president, the initiative "shows that Indonesia is following the pace of digital technology transformation in the economic sector."
"Be very careful. We must remember the sanctions imposed by the US on Russia. Visa and Mastercard could be a problem," he warned.
This is in light of the implementation of a Domestic Government Credit Card payment system in March last year by the world’s seventh-largest economy in terms of GDP. It also follows after US-based Visa and MasterCard payment systems suspended operations in Russia as a response to the war in Ukraine.
One of Russia's biggest banks, Sberbank, fired back by assuring in a statement that the suspension would not affect its internal transactions, but that payments abroad would instead be affected.
Widodo had already announced that he won't join the sanctions campaign against Russia.
Statistics Indonesia data that was released last month indicated that the country’s economy expanded by 5.31% in 2022, showing its best annual growth rate since 2013.
