Frontex oder Realismus

Demgegenüber beziffert die EU die Gesamtkosten für die personelle und materielle Aufstockung von Frontex für den Zeitraum 2019-2020 mit 1,3 Milliarden Euro – und mit 11,3 Milliarden für den Zeitraum 2012-2027. Die Gewinner dieser herrschenden Sicherheitsideologie sind die Sicherheitsindustrie, die Überwachungsapparate

Unverständnis über Freispruch von Sektenarzt Hopp nach Flucht aus Chile

Der Politologe und Colonia-Dignidad-Experte Jan Stehle sprach gegenüber amerika21 von einem „bitteren Tag für die Opfer“ der Sektensiedlung. „Es ist auch ein düsterer Tag für die Aufarbeitung der Verbrechen der Colonia Dignidad“, so Stehle weiter. Deutschland bleibe ein sicherer Hafen für die Täter: „Seit 30 Jahren ermittelt die bundesdeutsche Justiz ergebnislos gegen Hopp und andere Täter der Colonia Dignidad“, kritisierte Stehle. Eine Justizflucht nach Deutschland lohne sich weiterhin, denn die Ermittlungen blieben ergebnislos und chilenische Urteile würden nicht vollstreckt. „Dieser Beschluss des OLG Düsseldorf bestätigt jene Täter, die sich vor der chilenischen Justiz nach Deutschland abgesetzt haben, in der Hoffnung, dass sie hier straffrei bleiben“, so Stehle.

Top US official John Bolton to Iran: ‚There will be hell to pay‘

„So I might imagine they would take me seriously when I assure them today that if you cross us, our allies or our partners, if you harm our citizens, if you continue to lie cheat and deceive. Yes there will indeed be hell to pay,“ the US National Security Advisor said.

Speaking at an organisation that opposed the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, from which the Trump administration withdrew in May, Bolton criticised the deal as „the worst diplomatic debacle in American history“.

This is one of the of the most counterproductive measures imaginable for regional and global peace and security,” he said in a speech delivered against a backdrop of protests from anti-war protesters.

“By sustaining revenues to the regime, you are solidifying Iran’s ranking as the number-one state sponsor of terror,” Mr. Pompeo added, observing Iran’s “corrupt ayatollahs” and elite Revolutionary Guards had to be “laughing this morning.”

Macron denounced “the law of the strongest” in the tribune of the UN

The iranian issue demonstrates this profound difference of approach. When Donald Trump called on the international community to “isolate the iranian regime”, Emmanuel Macron advocates “dialogue” with Tehran.

“What is it that will fix the real situation in Iran?, he asks. “The law of the strongest? The pressure of a single? No!”

“We know that Iran was on the path to a nuclear military, but what is it that has stopped? The Vienna agreement of 2015,” he continued.

Trump‘s Alliance Against Iran: Saudi Arabia and Partners Join Israel in Supporting U.S. as Others Turn Away

Donald Trump to support plan for ‚Arab Nato‘

(22.9.2018) President Donald Trump has backed plans to offer a Middle East Security Alliance (MESA) to members of the GCC supportive of America’s stand on Iran, a proposal that is expected to be discussed behind the scenes at the UNGA meetings in New York.

Diplomats see the evolving position of Washington towards a new core group as a product of the Iran situation but also a plank of the Middle East peace process review undertaken by Mr Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Trump hails Saudi achievements, criticizes Iran in UN speech

“Following my trip to Saudi Arabia, the Gulf countries opened a new center to target terrorist financing. They are enforcing new sanctions, working with us to identify and track terrorist networks and taking more responsibility for fighting terrorism and extremism in their own region,” Trump told the crowd of world leaders.

“The United States is working with the Gulf Cooperation Council, Jordan, and Egypt to establish a strategic alliance so Middle Eastern nations can advance security and stability across their home region,” he added.

‚No One Will Trust‘ U.S. if Trump Ends Nuclear Deal, Iran‘s President Says

„So we will never go towards production of nuclear weapons, just as in the past we never intended to go towards that path nor did we ever. It has always been peaceful.“

Rouhani defended Iran‘s use of ballistic missiles, saying that it fell outside the nuclear agreement and that his country would never sacrifice its „defensive missile capabilities.“

He also complained that the Trump administration was lumping Iran in with North Korea by describing both countries as nuclear threats.

Sovereignty, equality should go hand in hand, if Trump really means it

Surely, there are positive aspects as Trump emphasized the idea of national sovereignty in his UN speech. Meanwhile, it is common sense that sovereignty will only play a positive role if it is pre-conditioned on equality, the basic principle everyone abides by. Historically, the concept of sovereignty and equality among nations was born at the same time in the Peace of Westphalia, a peace treaty that first introduced and assured the equality of national sovereignty. Nowadays, the indivisibility of sovereignty and equality bears crucial meanings to the world.

Remarks by President Trump to the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly | New York, NY

United Nations Headquarters
New York, New York

10:38 A.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Madam President, Mr. Secretary-General, world leaders, ambassadors, and distinguished delegates:

One year ago, I stood before you for the first time in this grand hall. I addressed the threats facing our world, and I presented a vision to achieve a brighter future for all of humanity.

Today, I stand before the United Nations General Assembly to share the extraordinary progress we’ve made.

In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.
America’s — so true. (Laughter.) Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s okay. (Laughter and applause.)

America’s economy is booming like never before. Since my election, we’ve added $10 trillion in wealth. The stock market is at an all-time high in history, and jobless claims are at a 50-year low. African American, Hispanic American, and Asian American unemployment have all achieved their lowest levels ever recorded. We’ve added more than 4 million new jobs, including half a million manufacturing jobs.

Neuer Unionsfraktionschef im ZDF – „Zwischen die Kanzlerin und mich passt kein Blatt“

Jetzt gehe es mittelfristig darum, Regierung und Fraktion zu stärken, dazu wolle er beitragen: „Ich habe den Willen, sie zu unterstützen.“ Im ZDF-Interview sagte Brinkhaus auch, wie er sich das vorstellt: „Es geht um das Wir in der Fraktion und wir müssen offensiver Themen besetzen.“ Es gehe nicht darum, den Zusammenhalt in der Gesellschaft zu stärken, „da ist in den vergangenen Jahren viel kaputt gegangen“.
