Franklin Jeffrey News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

[ Editor’s Note: This is a rare open admission by a US senior diplomat, that using proxy terrorists to pursue ‘US interests’ was fair game, even if the group slaughtered innocent civilians in the process. Politicians often refer to this generically as ‘exporting American values’. Ambassador James Jeffrey uses the typical weasel word language to couch his support for aiding and abetting terrorists, that it was “the least bad option” for implementing US strategy in Syria. The US has used drone assassinations against others doing just this. This will be my shortest article lead in ever, due to there really not being anything else to say, other than where are the war crimes tribunals when you really need them. But I do thank Mr. Jeffrey for the quote
