July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
The Sunday News! Pick a news story, and talk about it.    In a Sunday morning breaking news story Adam J. Szubin, the Treasuries acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, released a statement about new sanctions imposed against persons of Iran who are involved in Iran's Ballistic Missile Program. This was done because of a recently fired Ballistic Missile. What does this mean to the new relationship between Iran and the USA? In order to complete the nuclear accord and lift some sanctions Iran had to comply with key Nuclear concessions. The quick release of the USA Sailors shows a willingness for the two countries to use negotiations and resolve difficulties without animosity. This situation was resolved just before the nuclear agreement would take affect. On January 16, 5 USA prisoners were returned in a prisoner swap. This is another view of the changing relationship between the USA and Iran. The Nuclear deal does not lift all trade sanctions with Iran. Some types of sanctions not mentioned in the Nuclear arrangement are also the same types of sanctions applied against the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda. These are sanctions held against foreign states that are involved in protecting terrorists, not complying with human rights, and other types of atrocities of which the USA disapproves. The USA has made it clear. It will hold Iran accountable for problems created outside of the Nuclear agreement. reference: The Associated Press; Breaking News The National Iran American Council; www.niacouncil.org; 2 articles by Tyler Cullis apondia#1781748 apondia#1781748 apondia#1781748 |
