US president Joe #Biden has approved a new national security memorandum ahead of Donald #Trump’s return to the White House that could serve as a road map for the incoming administration as it looks to counter growing cooperation among #China, #Iran, #NorthKorea and #Russia, the White House said Wednesday.
The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the #WhiteHouse, said the classified memorandum would not be made public because of the sensitivity of some of its findings.
The document includes four broad recommendations: improving U.S. government interagency cooperation, speeding up the sharing of information with allies about the four adversaries, calibrating the U.S. government’s use of sanctions and other economic tools for maximum effectiveness, and bolstering preparation to manage simultaneous crises involving the adversaries.
The official said the document is intended to help the next administration build “capacity” as it shapes its policies on some the most difficult foreign policies it will face.

Chatter on #telegram channel of Syrian opposition is the feel of betrayal anger despair watching US and Israel destroying everything in the country. From headquarters of security police, to university research facilities, almost all remaining fighterjets, airbases, weapon storage, air defense, artilery and heavy weapons and on top of everything Israel invasion of major strategic areas only 20km from #Damascus.
Video of the aftermath of last night's massive Israeli bombing of Ladheqhie port in #Syria is available on my telegram channel https://t.me/newsvideofa/3063

Biden has proven that what #Trump can do, he can do too. Lies, nepotism and saving criminals from their just punishment. Look, he's just the lesser of two evils and Trump is much worse. US democracy can only be saved without these two evil parties. Trump's supporters can now pull off much worse things with reference to Biden without the other side being able to justifiably outrage. Righteous anger at this despicable system can only come from the outside.

(from A couple of days back, I heard in a podcast that saying the current #HTS offensive being linked to #Israel (or #NATO) was a "conspiracy theory". In that same podcast they recognized that one of the factors in the success of the anti-#Assad forces was the years long bombing campaign by Israel. Since the offensive started, the #USA bombed #Syria twice.
Now, Zionist media publishes a #FSA commander calling for support from #Israel to "hit back at #Iran".
Unconfirmed horrifying video showing Daesh in 2006 and what is happening in Syria today after each other.
They are starting to murder people just because they are #Shia (claiming they are government collaborators).
I'm really afraid that what we witness is EXACTLT like 2006 in Iraq but under direct protection of #Biden, #Erdogan, #Netanyahu and with new players like #Ukraine helping the old bankers #UAE and #SaudiArabia and of course #Qatar.

This is where the confrontation with the Iranian elite forces may have happened.
It's just unbelievable that #Biden is pushing for confrontation with #Russia and #Iran before leaving the office.
There has been multiple reports of Ukrainian "advisors" helping both Arab rebels (mostly former #ISIS fighters) and the small group of Kurdish fighters who broke of #SDF who doesn't want to open an all out war with the Syrian government.

Biden isn't the first president to pardon a relative. Here's how the power works
https://text.npr.org/nx-s1-5213251
On his last day in office in 2001, President Bill Clinton pardoned his half-brother, Roger, who had pleaded guilty and spent a year in jail on drug charges.
He got much more flack for pardoning Marc Rich, a disgraced financier who had fled to Switzerland after being indicted for evading more than $48 million in taxes, among other charges. Rich's ex-wife Denise had donated over $1 million to Democrats and Clinton's presidential library, raising questions and a Justice Department investigation into the pardon, which ultimately found no wrongdoing by Clinton.
Trump pardoned Charles Kushner, the father of his senior advisor, and son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

President Biden Pardons Hunter Biden After Repeatedly Vowing Not To
President Biden issued a pardon for his son Hunter Biden Sunday evening
in a major reversal after Joe Biden repeatedly vowed not to use his
executive authority to intervene in his son's criminal cases. Hunter
Biden was set to be sentenced on December 12 for his federal gun
conviction and on December 16 for his California tax evasion case.
President Biden said he made the decision because the charges against
Hunter were politically motivated and "instigated" by his rivals, saying
his son was "singled out only because he is my son."
President Biden is now facing renewed pressure to commute the sentences
of death row prisoners and to pardon or grant clemency to political
prisoners like Indigenous leader Leonard Peltier and the whistleblowers
Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Meanwhile, the group the Debt
Collective posted, "Pardon our student loans next."
