As the second Trump administration's national security and foreign policy policy shapes up, critical strategic issues are expected to define the future of Turkish-American relations. Bilateral defense cooperation, the ongoing war in Ukraine, the U.S. strategy in northern Syria, instability in the Middle East, and the U.S. competition with China will be central to discussions between the Türkiye and the U.S. How will the incoming Trump administration approach these long standing challenges? What impact will Trump's foreign policy priorities have on Turkey's security and strategic position in the region? What are the opportunities for cooperation between the two NATO allies? The SETA Foundation in Washington DC is pleased to convene a distinguished panel of experts to discuss the Turkish-American relations in the second Trump administration.   Speakers Amb.

Relația bună care a existat între președintele Erdogan și omologul său american Donald Trump în timpul primului mandat al acestuia din urmă (2016 – 2020) ar putea impulsiona cooperarea bilaterală pe teme extrem de sensibile, cum ar fi situația din Siria și Ucraina, dar conflictul din Gaza va fi cel mai probabil un măr al discordiei, afirmă mai mulți experți intervievați de agenția turcă de știri Anadolu. ”Sunt optimist, relațiile bilaterale s-au îmbunătățit în ultimii ani”, a declarat James Jeffrey, fost ambasador american în Turcia, care a subliniat că există puncte de vedere comune privind situația din Siria, dar și referitoare la potențialele amenințări dinspre Iran, potrivit sursei citate.”Cei doi președinți  au dovedit deja că pot avea o relație pragmatică, în care interesele naționale au întotdeauna prioritate”, a spus la rândul său Luke Coffey, politolog la Hudson Institute in Washington.Un subiect delicat îl reprezintă susținerea pe care până acum administrația americană a acordat-o Partidului Muncitorilor din Kurdistan (PKK), formațiune considerată teroristă de către Turcia, dar Robert Ford, fost ambasador american în Siria spune că este foarte probabil ca situația să se schimbe: ”Aș fi foarte surprins dacă Trump ar decide să nu retragă trupele americane dislocate în Siria și să continue susținerea pentru PKK”, a declarat el pentru agenția Anadolu.Fiecare oraș din Kazahstan va avea propriul său cod arhitectonicFiecare oraș din Kazahstan va trebui să respecte un cod arhitectonic unic. Reprezentanții guvernului au anunțat, în cadrul Conferinței internaționale de arhitectură ARCHICA 2024, care a avut loc recent în capitala Almaty că vor pune în curând în dezbatere publică un proiect de lege în acest sens, transmite publicația DKnews.kz.Codul arhitectonic este un ansamblu de reguli care vizează crearea unui stil unic pentru fiecare oraș: respectarea unei anumite palete de culori, concepția fațadelor, a intrărilor în clădiri, a unui plan peisagistic caracteristic, etc.Regulile se vor aplica nu doar clădirilor nou construite, ci și celor deja existente.În cazul capitalei Almaty culorile principale vor fi albastru și verde, iar cele secundare gri și maro.Proiectul de lege încurajează plantarea de arbori nu doar în curțile interioare, ci și pe acoperișuri și pe fațade, în parcări și zone de staționare și prevede implementarea de sisteme de irigare automate.Fiecare zonă urbană va avea o imagine caracteristică, în funcție de contextul istoric și cultural local, dar și de exigențele comunităților și întreprinderilor locale, amintește sursa citată.Armenia: Parteneriatul strategic cu Georgia, factor de stabilitate regionalSemnarea la începutul acestui an a declarației comune privind parteneriatul strategic dintre Armenia și Georgia a ridicat nivelul cooperării bilaterale la un nivel fără precedent și va contribui în mod semnificativ la stabilitatea regională, a declarat ambasadorul Georgiei la Erevan, Gueorgui Charvachidzé într-un interviu acordat agenției de știri Armenpress.”Cooperarea bilaterală este mai bună ca niciodată, atât în domeniul politic, cât și economic, cultural, energetic cât și al turismului. Îmi face plăcere să reamintesc că de la 1 iulie 2023, cetățenii georgieni și armeni pot trece frontiera fără pașaport, doar pe baza cărții de identitate biometrică”, a declarat ambasadorul.De asemenea, în martie 2024 grupul ”Bank of Georgia”, a realizat o investiție fără precedent în Armenia, preluând cea mai importantă instituție financiară a țării, ”Ameria Bank” pentru suma de 303,6 milioane de dolari, a amintit diplomatul.Un program de cooperare în domeniul militar între cele două țări a fost semnat în luna iulie a acestui an, cu ocazia vizitei ministrului georgian al apărării, Irakli Chikovani în Armenia, a mai precizat ambasadorul în interviul acordat agenției Armenpress. Au contribuit la redactarea Revistei presei Europa Plus:Emil Kozhanov - Kazakhstan;Shushanik Tsaturyan - Armenia Europa Plus este un proiect RFI România realizat în parteneriat cu Agenția Universitară a Francofoniei 

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 16, 2023 is: acronym • AK-ruh-nim • noun An acronym is a word formed from the first letter or letters of each one of the words in a phrase. // They came up with the perfect acronym, WORDS, as a name for their spelling team by using the first letters of each of their names: William, Owen, Rosie, Diana, and Sam. See the entry > Examples: "Despite the innate human capacity to wander—particularly when bolstered by walking sticks—things will still go wrong. Here are a few of the most common ailments pilgrims will face. Sprained ankles: Follow the RICE acronym to reduce swelling and support healing. Rest: Stop all activity and try not to put any weight on the ankle. Ice: Apply an ice pack—or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a thin towel—for up to 20 minutes every two to three hours for about two days. Compression: Wrap a bandage around the injury or wear a compression sock to support it. Elevate: Keep it raised as much as possible." — James Jeffrey, CNN, 31 Aug. 2023 Did you know? The word acronym fuses together two combining forms: acr- ("beginning") and -onym ("name" or "word"), both of which trace back to Greek. You may recognize -onym in other familiar (and older) English words, such as pseudonym and synonym. When acronym first entered English in the mid-20th century (likely influenced by or borrowed from the German word Akronym or Akronymon), some usage commentators decreed that it should refer to combinations of initial letters that were pronounced as if they were whole words (such as radar and scuba), and be differentiated from an initialism, which is spoken by pronouncing the component letters (as in FBI and CEO). These days, however, that distinction is largely lost, and acronym is a common label for both types of abbreviation.

With the start of the war in Ukraine, NATO has been faced with numerous challenges including reassuring allies, reinforcing common defense, and considering the alliance's enlargement to the north. Finland and Sweden's requests for a fast-track NATO membership emerged as a significant focus for the alliance, as these countries decided to abandon their historically neutral position toward Russia. Türkiye sought assurances from these candidate countries regarding terrorism as a prerequisite for joining NATO. Having completed the items outlined in the Trilateral agreement, Finland became the 31st NATO member after receiving Türkiye's endorsement. Even though Ankara supports NATO's open door policy as a matter of principle, it expects Sweden to assuage Turkish concerns prior to admission. What implications will Finland's accession to NATO have on the future of NATO? Can Sweden meet the Turkish expectations before the NATO Summit in July in Vilnius? What are the implications of NATO's enlargement for Ukraine's hopes for membership?   The SETA Foundation at Washington DC is pleased to host a distinguished expert panel discussion on NATO's enlargement with Finland's entry, Türkiye's reservations about Sweden's application, and the growing support for Ukraine's membership.

Charles Lister, Mona Yacoubian, and James Jeffrey join host Alistair Taylor to discuss the upcoming UN Security Council vote on the renewal of cross-border assistance for Syria, Russia's threats of severing access, and how they might impact stability across the region.

Since 2015, Iranian forces have increasingly entrenched themselves in Syria as part of a broader effort to bolster the rule of Bashar al-Assad. As this effort began to unfold, Israel feared reenacting the cautionary tale of Hezbollah in Lebanon, where indecision over rooting out the Tehran-backed terrorist group proved to be a decision in itself. To avoid a situation in which Iranian or proxy forces are positioned along the entirety of Israel's northern border, the IDF has been walking a tightrope in Syria, taking direct action against major security threats while trying to avoid a full-scale war. Can this gray zone strategy succeed in pushing Iran out of Syria or not?To discuss this regional decision point, David Makovsky hosts distinguished guests James Jeffrey, Assaf Orion, and Oula Alrifai.Ambassador Jeffrey served as the U.S. special representative for Syria engagement and special envoy to the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS until November 2020. He currently chairs the Wilson Center's Middle East Program.General Orion is a senior fellow at Tel Aviv's Institute for National Security Studies and the Rueven International Fellow with The Washington Institute.

Ein Kommentar von Rainer Rupp. In jüngster Zeit mehren sich wieder die Angriffe auf syrische Stellungen von Terroristen des selbsternannten "Islamischen Staates von Irak und Syrien" (ISIS), die auf ein Wiedererstarken der mit modernen Waffen ausgerüsteten und mit mittelalterlicher Grausamkeit operierenden Terrororganisation in den von den USA völkerrechtswidrig besetzten Gebieten in Ostsyrien zurückgehen. Tatsächlich stecken die kriminellen Kriegstreiber in Washington hinter dieser Entwicklung. Warum das so ist, das hat diese Woche der investigative, auf geo-politische Zusammenhänge spezialisierte US-Journalist Tony Cartalucci in seinem Artikel deutlich gemacht, der aktuell unter dem Titel “USA wollen Terrorismus in Syrien verlängern, nicht ihn besiegen“ (US Seeks to Prolong Terrorism in Syria, Not Defeat It) erschienen ist. Laut Cartalucci, ein ehemaliger Soldat der US- Elitetruppe der „Marines“ wollen die Falken in Washington mit der Freilassung von Tausenden ISIS-Gefangenen aus den Lagern in dem vom US-Militär kontrollierten Gebieten in Ostsyrien die Instabilität im Land wieder erhöhen. Tatsächlich muss das als Teil des öffentlich gegebenen Versprechens gesehen werden, das die US-Falken gegenüber ihren verbündeten Kriegstreibern in Israel, in Europa und den feudalen arabischen Golfstaaten vor einigen Jahren gegeben haben, nämlich Syrien in einen Vietnam ähnlichen "Sumpf" zu verwandeln, in dem Russland und Iran versinken sollen. Mit diesem Versprechen wollten sie sowohl von Kritik aus den eigenen Reihen als auch aus dem Kreis ihrer Verbündeten ablenken, die auf ein robusteres Vorgehen der angeblich „unbesiegbaren“ US-Luftwaffe gegen die Russen in Syrien gesetzt hatten. Die einzigartigen russischen Flugabwehrsysteme vom Typ S-300 und S-400 sowie die Pantsir haben dagegen die US-Airforce in ihre Schranken gewiesen. In diesem Zusammenhang hatte Anfang des Jahres der US-Sonderbeauftragte für Syrien im US-Außenministerium, James Jeffrey, in einem Artikel des US-Nachrichtenmagazins Newsweek zugegeben, dass es US-Strategie sei, in Syrien die Feinde Amerikas zu schwächen und gleichzeitig zu vermeiden, immer weiter in neue, für die USA kostspielige Operationen hineingezogen zu werden. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass der syrische Präsident Assad die Mehrheit des Landes kontrolliert und er von Russland und dem Iran unterstützt werde, würden die USA versuchen, diese beide Staaten zu untergraben heißt es weiter in dem Artikel. Im Anschluss wird dann Jeffrey wörtlich zitiert: „Syrien ist nicht Afghanistan, das ist nicht Vietnam. Das ist (noch) kein Sumpf. Meine Aufgabe ist es, es in einen Sumpf für die Russen zu verwandeln." Und wie macht man aus Syrien einen Sumpf ohne selbst zu kämpfen?…weiterlesen hier: https://kenfm.de/usa-ist-quelle-des-erneuten-isis-terrorismus-in-syrien-von-rainer-rupp/ KenFM bemüht sich um ein breites Meinungsspektrum.

Isabel dos Santos is the billionaire daughter of the former president of Angola and Africa’s richest woman. She claims to be a self-made businesswoman. But more than 700,000 documents, recently leaked from her business empire, suggest otherwise. The emails, charts, contracts, audits, and accounts in the so-called Luanda Leaks have put her under intense scrutiny by her bank and the Angolan government. But in an interview with Andrew Harding she batted aside allegations of corruption and nepotism. Escalating violence in Libya has encouraged a growing number of its citizens to flee and risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea. Sally Hayden has been on board a rescue boat off the Libyan coast. The 18 year Afghan conflict has killed tens of thousands of Afghans, more than 2,400 American troops and cost the US around $900 billion. President Donald Trump has often said he wants to remove the estimated 13,000 U.S. troops remaining in Afghanistan. That would leave more of the fight against the Taliban to the Afghan security forces. But in Helmand Province Nanna Muus Steffesen found that Afghan soldiers and police are already suffering devastating casualties. Famed for its traditional shoulder-shaking iskista dancing, mesinko-playing minstrels and live bands playing Ethio-Jazz, the Addis Ababa music scene has always drawn on a vibrant past. Now a new generation of producers and DJs are mixing Ethiopia's tribal, religious and jazz sounds with thumping garage beats to create a new form known locally as Ethiopian Electronic. James Jeffrey hit the dance floor. World leaders gathered in Jerusalem this week to mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp - where more than a million people, most of them Jews, were murdered by the Nazis. The French President Emmanuel Macron warned that seventy-five years on, the shadow of anti-Semitism was expanding. Just fifteen years ago, the French Riviera city of Nice was home to over 20,000 Jews. That’s now dwindled to three thousand. During the Second World War, Nice witnessed one of the most vicious round-ups of Jews in Western Europe. Next week, it will unveil a memorial wall of Holocaust victims. One of the names engraved on it is that of Edith (Ay-deet) Mueller. But her teenage daughter Huguette had a narrow escape - as Rosie Whitehouse discovered.

Conflict Zone confronts Donald Trump's envoy to Syria, James Jeffrey, on the president's decision to withdraw troops from Syria, a decision that shocked allies, Congress and even members of his own administration.

Ankara Rüzgârı’nda iç ve dış politika ile ekonomideki son gelişmeleri değerlendiren Zülfikar Doğan, Trump’ın özel temsilcisi James Jeffrey’in Ankara ziyareti ve güvenli tampon bölge müzakerelerinin perde arkasını, Merkez Bankası’nın faiz indirimi kararının olası sonuçlarını ve Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin Barış Akademisyenleri ile ilgili verdiği “hak ihlali” kararının yerel mahkemelerdeki davalarda ne gibi sonuçlara yol açabileceğini ele aldı.İç Politikada ise iktidar partisi AKP ve Ana Muhalefet CHP’deki parti içi iktidar mücadelelerinin yavaş yavaş ısınmaya başladığını kaydeden Doğan’a göre, yerel seçim başarısıyla yerini sağlamlaştıran Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, 2020 Şubat’ında yapılacak Olağan Kurultay sürecinde CHP içindeki dört farklı grubun parti içi iktidar mücadelesiyle karşı karşıya, Oğuz Kaan Salıcı-Canan Kaftancıoğlu’nun başını çektiği 10 Aralık Hareketi, Tuncay Özkan’ın öncülüğündeki İzmir grubu, Muharrem İnce ve Selin Sayek Böke ekipleri Ekim’de başlayacak il-ilçe kurultayları sürecinde kurultay delegeleri içersinde kendilerini yönetime taşıyacak ağırlığa ulaşma mücadelesi verecek.Bu noktada Örgütlerden Sorumlu Genel Başkan yardımcısı Salıcı’nın avantajlı olduğunu ve il-ilçe kurultaylarında, kendi lehine bir kurultay delegesi dengesi oluşturmak isteyeceğini kaydeden Doğan, duruma göre “parti içi kurultay ittifaklarının” oluşabileceğini öngörüyor.

A sleepy Southern California town is turned upside down with the murders of 4 boys. So much so, the town changed its name. Join us as we look into the crime that rocked this small town and meet the monster who called it home almost 100 years ago.   Looking for more information on The Wineville Chicken Coop Murders check out these books The Road Out of Hell: Sanford Clark and the True Story of the Wineville Murders by Anthony Flacco and Jerry Clark (Sanford's son). or Nothing Is Strange with You: The Life and Crimes of Gordon Stewart Northcott by Janes Jeffrey Paul More info that wasn't mentioned in the episode.... Pictures of the murder farm in 1928 (top, obvi :) and then sometime in the 90's-2009 (bottom) the picture on bottom was taken before 2009. Like I did mention, many people visit the Wineville Murder Farm, especially during Halloween season, its harder to imagine now, what it once looked like, but, as recently as 10 years ago the house pretty much looked the same. Many of the surrounding neighbors report of hearing the sounds of boys running around and at times,  in the still of the night they still hear their sobs.   None of the photos on this page belong to Haunting History Podcast.

Pets and Politics; football and narcotics; and building a country with a flag. Kate Adie introduces correspondents' stories. South Korea is in political turmoil but, as Steve Evans explains, people seem more concerned with the fate of the now ex-president's pets.

Chris Bockman is in the Spanish enclave of Llivia - a small town completely surrounded by France, but with surprisingly few French speakers. And in Mongolia many young people are giving up the outdoor life of herding sheep on the steppe, and reading novels by candlelight in a yurt at night, for that of a polluted city. Anthony Denselow meets some of them.
