Biden 9/11 Message; " Unity is our greatest strength. "
The United States is still questioning and trying to understand the reason behind the terrorist attacks of 9/11, even though it has been 20 years. In particular, the question, "Why have we fought in Afghanistan for 20 years?" and the consequences thereof are being discussed more openly by the American public. While the Biden administration states that the evacuation of 124,000 people from Afghanistan in a short span of time is a great success, the Republican wing expresses that many Americans are still left stranded, saying that the backgrounds of some Afghan refugees who arrived in the US should be seriously investigated.
In the first week of August, the relatives of the victims of 9/11 published a written statement, expressing they did not want to see President Biden at the commemoration ceremonies unless he gave consent to release of classified information for the 9/11 attacks. Upon this, President Biden made a statement saying, "To uphold my pledge I made during the campaign, I am ordering the repeal of the confidentiality order about the 9/11 attacks and making it public." Thus, a crisis that might have arisen during the commemoration ceremonies was prevented. In fact, the relatives of the 9/11 victims want to know whether the Saudi Arabian government was involved in these attacks. Regarding this, Federal Authorities released first classified document last Saturday and will continue to share more documents with the public within six months. However, it is likely that the sections that target or might target any country, including Saudi Arabia, will be censored. Therefore, it would be wrong to expect a significant surprise in the confidential documents to be released. As you may remember, President Trump's U.S. Attorney General, William Burr, rejected a similar request and cited factors that could threaten American national security as the reason for the rejection.
I was at the 20th Anniversary Commemoration of 9/11 in New York City on Saturday morning, which President Biden and the First Lady attended. The President was visibly pensive as the names of the people who had lost their lives were called one by one.While the relatives of the victims were present at the memorial, other people were not allowed into the area without permission due to security concerns and the pandemic. A total of 2997 people lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks, and 41% of those could not be identified. While only one Turkish citizen, Zühtü İbiş, lost his life in the attacks on the World Trade Center, I encountered many people like Turan Ayaz, an engineer working in the World Trade Center, who was able to save his life at the last moment.
I had the chance to interview some witnesses who experienced the 9/11 attacks in New York. I specifically asked them what has changed in the US over the last 20 years and what consequences they have seen. Kahraman Haliscelik,former Vice President of United Nations Correspondent Association, was the first Turkish Journalist to arrive at the scene of collapsed twin towers on 9/11.What he has told me is that "The 9/11 attacks made the US even more aggressive. Instead of developing policies that would protect itself, the US took steps that would cause global instability. It is necessary to address the root causes of terrorism instead of the outcomes. This will only be possible with the implementation of new global socioeconomic policies by prosperous countries toward poor and developing countries.``. Another good friend of mine,Evgin Heath, survivor of 9/11 said that " In 20 years, the terrorist attacks within the US and outside threats were prevented and I am glad that the war is over. " When I asked her opinion of the ending America's longest war, she said I am glad that the US has ended the war in Afghanistan, but I am sorry for Afghan women. When I see the Afghanistan situation, I again think that we cannot thank Ataturk enough."
I condemn the 9/11 terrorist attacks once again and remember with respect all the citizens who lost their lives. As someone who was in New York at that time, I still feel the impact of that attack, which caused innocent people from the ages of 2 to 85 to lose their lives. In between classes at the university, my classmates and I were in a state of shock, and we tried to understand what was happening after hearing about the planes colliding into the twin towers. Next, the US entered a war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the following years were especially hard for foreigners living in the US. While I was able to get a job easily after university, for most of my friends, it was challenging to secure a job after 9/11, and they moved back to Turkey. The 9/11 attacks carried the USA into a new world where security and education, and social and economic importance were concerned.
The 20 years history of Sept. 11 goes far beyond military operations and foreign policy. It affected world politics and world hostilities.I would like to share with you the most striking sentence of the latest statement of President Biden last week regarding the retreat from Afghanistan: "This decision about Afghanistan is not just about Afghanistan, it's about ending an era of major military operations to remake other countries," Now, instead of conducting military operations, it will be the right step to act in a more coordinated way with allied countries in the international arena and to act wisely against terrorist groups and countries that are a threat to humanity and the world.
Otherwise, if we observe what happened in Afghanistan happening in another Middle-Eastern or African country in the future, unilateral or unwise actions could cause significant harm to that country's youth, women, and future.

AMAZON purchases a Turkish company
Although it did not draw a lot of attention, DataRow, a technology company of Turkish origin, was bought by Amazon. DataRow, which makes it easier for users to work on Amazon Redshift, was founded in 2017 by Eren Baydemir and Can Abacigil and is currently operating from San Francisco.
DataRow's parent company, TeamSQL, is still operating in Istanbul. Although there was no official announcement of how much was acquired for this company that two young people created and sold to the biggest company in three years, DataRow's team would continue to work within the Amazon family.
In addition to this beautiful success story, the number of big or small Turkish companies working in the start-up field in Silicon Valley is around 100! Likewise, the number of Turks working in technology companies around the world has exceeded 500. Many of our young engineers work in the world's best companies, including Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and Twitter. I believe that soon Turkey will make a much larger leap into the IT sector, making us proud.
The U.S. Position on Libya and Mediterranean
Everyone more or less predicted the possible outcome of the Libya summit held last week in Berlin. With putschist Gen. Khalifa Haftar fleeing without signing the cease-fire agreement in Russia, his insincerity was confirmed once again in the meeting in Berlin that involved 11 countries and lasted four hours since a formal cease-fire could not be agreed upon.
The attitude of the United States concerning the Libyan issue remains unclear. Even if U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was present in Berlin with messages of support for a cease-fire, there remain questions about the United States' stance regarding the Eastern Mediterranean and Libya. In the past, the U.S. Department of State expressed deep concern over the drilling activities of Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean last year. Everyone knows the United States is following a policy that is more inclined toward the Greek Cypriot Administration and Greece. Furthermore, it should be remembered that the American energy company, ExxonMobil, won a tender from the Greek Cypriot Administration, who are trying to parcel the Eastern Mediterranean unilaterally. Despite the reactions of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), the company started drilling in the south of the island in 2018 and a crisis arose as a result of this.
The murder of U.S. Ambassador John Christopher Stevens in 2012, in Benghazi, Libya, during an attack on the U.S. Consulate is still fresh in the minds of Washington. Indeed, this sad event continues to be a subject of great controversy in domestic politics. The incidents during and after the Benghazi attack resulted in significant changes in the U.S.' policies on Libya.
It would be right to see the U.S.' sharp turn concerning its policy on Libya as a "foreign policy from a safe distance." The U.S. has thus decreased its actions and its existence in Libya via the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) to a level limited to operations against al-Qaida. The position of the U.S., which has been to support the political solution proposed by the Libya Special Representative of the U.N. since 2014, has transformed into a strategy of "wait and see." In short, the U.S. has been following the developments from afar to see who the "winner" will be.
It can be seen that U.S. President Donald Trump has continued with the policy on Libya from the Barack Obama period. The U.S. unexpectedly withdrew its soldiers from Libya on April 7, 2019. During this withdrawal, there was no statement by the U.S. that it would continue its support for Libya's Government of National Accord (GNA). It also did not go unnoticed that the timing of the U.S. troops' withdrawal coincided with the operations directed at Tripoli carried out by Haftar. In the course of these unexpected events, Trump spoke on the telephone with Haftar on April 15, surprising everyone. However, Russia's speedy entry into the Libyan crisis in September 2019 has caused the U.S. to review its Libya policy.
Moscow's attempts to become a determining player in Libyan politics by sending private troops has brought with it the possibility that Russia will have a say on matters like the wave of migration originating from North Africa and the sub-Saharan region and the supply of Libyan oil. Both of these have shaped European politics recently in connection with the matter of Mediterranean energy.
Even though the U.S. attempts to remain on the same side as Russia in Libya, there are some rumors that the U.S.' close allies, such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, support Haftar and are indirectly impacting Trump's Libya policy.
The visit to Benghazi by the U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Joshua Harris, in October 2019, where he discussed the matter of ending the war in Tripoli with the authorities, and the participation of the U.S. in the Berlin conference at the Department of State level have been perceived as a message that the U.S. will be at the table.
Even though the U.S. is getting ready for a really busy agenda with the upcoming presidential election in 2020, it is expected to voice an opinion on foreign policy matters regarding Libya and thus the struggle in the Eastern Mediterranean.
In that sense, the justified struggle of Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean and a close relationship with the diplomatic representatives of the U.S., which can relay the factors underlying the events, are important. And they are valuable, too. Indeed, the recent telephone call made by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to Trump, where they mostly talked about Libya, was conspicuous. In a region where the conflicts of interest are immense, the United Nations should be expected to play a more active role and to support a government that has already been recognized.
Otherwise, the fate of Libya and the other Middle Eastern countries will be one of division and tragedy; and this will go down in history as a tale of skulduggery.

State Dept. Official Robert Strayer: "Cyberspace is borderless ... therefore, we must have cooperation and coordination."
There are big discussions and platforms on 5G, which will have increased amounts of throughput of data up to 100 times what many countries currently have in 4G technology.
When we look at some information, we see horrifying impacts on the cyber world. The hacker attacks every 39 seconds, according to The A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. Hackers stole a half-billion personal records last year. There is an expectation of spending $6 trillion globally on cybersecurity by 2021.
The Trump Administration forecasts the U.S. wireless industry plans to invest $275 billion in 5G networks, creating 3 million American jobs and adding $500 billion to the U.S. economy.
Since cybersecurity and policy are a very hot topic, there was a timely briefing featuring Deputy Assistant Secretary for Cyber and International Communications Policy, Robert Strayer, at the State Department on January 9, 2020. He shared the highlights of 2019 and looked ahead to cybersecurity in 2020.
He stated that there had been tremendous growth from the Internet and connected digital technologies, and has seen an increase in the number of people having access to previously inaccessible information.
He also indicated that the Internet and being connected add trillions of dollars to the global economy every year.
He talked about how cyberspace has significant challenges, especially since the plan is to connect the next three billion people around the world. Also, he emphasized doing more substantial work in enabling cooperation and collaboration among nations in addressing these cyberspace challenges.
Becoming Top Priority: Cybersecurity and Cyber Policy
The State Department is taking cybersecurity and cyber policy seriously. There has been a lot of educational briefings and interaction with many different global actors in the past few years.
Deputy Assistant Secretary Strayer highlighted that "a country should not disrupt another nation's critical infrastructure that is providing services to the public."
He also briefly summarized the cyber progress accomplishments in the last year.
-Established a framework of responsible state behavior in cyberspace, which comprises developing the rules of the road for how countries should interact with one another in cyberspace.
-Had the United Nations endorse a set of 11 voluntary norms of responsible state behavior. With the leadership of the U.S., 26 other countries are responsible for enforcing state behavior in cyberspace. All endorsed the applicability of international law to cyberspace.
-A nation should not attack another nation's major infrastructure endorsed by the UN.
-Cyber deterrence strategy: The State Department's goal is to establish a set of consequences that are swift, costly, and transparent.
-Educate and partner with other countries about the importance and the transformational nature of 5G wireless technologies
Trust is the key to 5G.
The Deputy Assistant Secretary emphasized that there should be trust between vendors of this technology and the telecom operators and the governments where that technology would be deployed.
The European Union is an important partner.
The U.S. is working closely with Europe as they work on security measures for 5G. The U.S. welcomed the European Union's adoption of a risk assessment last October.The European Union has a security toolbox for 5G now that addresses the security risks that they've already assessed to exist.
Worldwide Threat Assessment and 4 Countries
Deputy Assistant Secretary Strayer has identified four countries that they see as strategic competitors or adversaries in cyberspace; these are China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. Their attacks violate norms of responsible state behavior; for example, the NotPetya attack and Iran's activity on media platforms seeking to influence the U.S. population.
Also, the Iranian government has blocked the Internet, making it unavailable to the public, so the U.S. has sanctioned the Iranian Communications Minister to send the Iranian government a message.
Deputy Assistant Secretary Strayer said that there is no legitimate reason for disabling the Internet when doing so is an effort to interfere with people's ability to communicate.
Big Threat from China
Deputy Assistant Secretary Strayer said that the U.S. had shared its concern about the laws in China and, especially, the sharing of data with governments that are not on the rule of law. He added that there is no appeal to an independent judiciary or a rule of law system that can be checked.There are a lot of concerns about Chinese telecom companies such as Huwaei.
$50 Million of Technical Assistance
Last year, the State Department was able to commit to $50 million of technical assistance in the form of cybersecurity capacity-building and cybersecurity training, as well as regulatory and other training assistance for regulators in countries around the world.
The State Department is also looking to expand to Latin America with at least $10 million pending approval from Congress. The State Department initiated similar support to Indo-Asia last year.
US-NATO Partnership
The U.S. continues to work closely with NATO to secure communications capabilities with the ability to engage in joint operations together and to enact troop mobilization.
According to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, "A serious cyberattack could trigger Article 5, where an attack against one ally is treated as an attack against all." Stoltenberg wrote this in an article that was published in Prospect's new cyber resilience supplement last year.
NATO also established a new Cyberspace Operations Centre in Mons, Belgium, in order to increase their military commanders' cyber-situational awareness.
"With so much on the line, it's urgent that trustworthy companies build these 21st-century information arteries. Specifically, it's critical that European countries not give control of their critical infrastructure to Chinese tech giants like Huawei or ZTE" – Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, Politico Europe, December 2, 2019.
The White House also has a national cybersecurity strategy that was published in 2018 (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/National-Cyber-Strategy.pdf).

10 Takeaways from President Trump's Action Against Iran
I was at the White House during President Trump's address to the nation last week after the retaliatory attacks by Iran on bases in Iraq housing U.S. soldiers. President Trump explained the reason why the U.S. military killed Soleimani and also shared the details of the new sanctions against Iran.
Let's look at the takeaways from the President's action against Iran.
Iran's Missile Attacks and No Casualties
President Trump said, "There were no Americans harmed by the Iranian regime missiles attack. We suffered no casualties. All of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases." He also explained that no American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken, the dispersal of forces, and an early warning system that has worked very well. President Trump saluted the incredible skill and courage of America's men and women in uniform.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mahdi made a statement that Iran Administration has sent Iraq an official message that missile attacks "had begun or would begin shortly," on unspecified U.S. military locations. It was believed that the Iraqi government officials gave a warning to the U.S. on "which bases would be targeted" after Iranian officials passed on the information.
U.S. Troops Staying In Iraq
Despite Iraq's Parliament voted U.S. troops out,United States has no plans to withdraw troops from Iraq. State Department Spokesperson, U.S. sees Iraq as a strategic partner not just on security but security, on financial, economic, and diplomatic partnerships. The U.S. wants to be a Friend to a sovereign, prosperous, and stable Iraq. U.S. troops are located at nine different bases and number 5200 soldiers. They, including contractors and subcontractors, remained in Iraq to help local forces contain ISIS and stop Iran's influence in the region.
The Iraqi Parliament asked the U.S. for a pullout plan. After Trump's decision to kill Soleimani, the future of the U.S. presence in the Middle East is not bright.
Secretary of State Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Esper made clear statements that U.S. military presence will continue in Iraq.
Is the U.S. ready to embrace peace with all who seek it?
President Trump called to the people and leaders of Iran: "We want you to have a future and a great future—one that you deserve, one of prosperity at home, and harmony with the nations of the world. The U.S. is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it."
It was seen as a positive message to reduce tension. At the same time, U.S. Ambassador to United Nations Kelly Craft sent a letter to the UN Security Council, offering to prepare to engage without preconditions in serious negotiations with Iran to prevent further endangerment of international peace and security or escalation by the Iranian regime.
Global Actors Urged to Pull Out of a Nuclear Agreement
President Trump made a new proposal and stated that the U.S. is "ready for a new and better" nuclear agreement with Iran. He also blamed President Obama for the 2015 Iran deal, which sought to limit Iran's capability to establish a nuclear weapon in exchange for the lifting of financial sanctions.
President Trump also said: "As long as I am President of the U.S., Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon." He added: "Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism. The time has come for the UK, Germany, France, Russia, and China to recognize this reality."
NATO's Presence in the Middle East
President Trump asked NATO Secretary-General about giving more contributions in Iraq. He also suggested that NATO establish a NATO-ME (Middle East) Unit in the region.
A small NATO training division in Iraq suspended its activities during Iran's missile attack. Secretary-General has also condemned the Iranian missile attacks on the U.S. and the coalition forces in Iraq. NATO called on Iran to refrain from further violence.
The Secretary-General will be meeting with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iraq, Mr. Abdul Karim Hashim Aboualgus, at the NATO Headquarters on January 14th.
The U.S. introduced new sanctions on Iran.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin announced new sanctions on Iran's metal exports and eight senior Iranian officials at the exclusive White House Press Briefing.
Trump Administration is evident in the continuation of sanctions against Iran. "Today's sanctions are part of our commitment to stop the Iranian regime's global terrorist activities," said Secretary Pompeo.
Unexpected Demonstrations in Iran
Protests and teargas as public anger grow over Ukranian aircraft downing. Iran is facing a new crisis over the Iranian military's shooting down of a commercial airliner with 176 people on board.
Thousands of Iranians chanted during demonstrations against President Rouhani and Ali Khamenei in protest against unemployment, poverty, and the high cost of living in the past months.
Ukranian Plane Crash in Iran
Iranian ballistic missiles shot down the Ukranian plane after Iran launched strikes on Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops. First, Iranian officials have rejected allegations that they tried to orchestrate a cover-up; however, Iran has admitted it unintentionally shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet, blaming human error and the U.S.
There are also questions as to why Iran let a commercial flight take off during the airstrikes.
Two official statements came from Canada and Ukraine. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, "We will not rest until there are justice and accountability," and Ukraine President called for the perpetrators to be held accountable.
War Powers Resolution-Democrats
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to limit Trump's military action against Iran without Congressional approval and rebuked the president over his use of military power in the Middle East.
The vote was 224-194, and 8 Democrats voted against the resolution.Senator Tim Kaine proposed a similar resolution that is expected to be discussed this week.
Pompeo and Cavusoglu speak during the tensions.
Secretary Pompeo has spoken with his Turkish counterpart a few times during the about the tensions between the U.S. and Turkey. Turkish officials emphasized the need to work with other countries to solve the problem or de-escalate tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
President Erdogan also shared his concerns about the crisis and highlighted, "Nobody has the right to throw the entire region, especially in Iraq, into a ring of fire for the sake of his or her interests."
As a result, the United States and Iran crisis has calmed down; however, many things won't be the same as how they were before.
Trump administration will continue pressure on Iran with the military presence in Iraq and Syria as well as economic sanctions. The question is how and till when Iran will resist the significant demand from U.S. and NATO Allies.
Iran's reputation is getting worse after shooting down the commercial plane, killing 176 innocent people.
There is one reality that Iranian General Soleimani was a terrorist and responsible for killing U.S. troops and innocent people in Syria. Soleimani was reportedly by Turkish and many ethnic media outlets that he was a point person for Iran's backing of Syrian President Assad and helped shape the Syrian military strategies in a terrible civil war that began with pro-democracy protests in 2011.
Although Democrats remain unconvinced, Soleimani threat was imminent, even many Syrian and Turkish people believe that he was a significant threat to the region.
2020 is a presidential election year; however, the foreign policy should be a significant focus for Trump administration this year.
Let's see how the future will look with NATO's further involvement in Iraq.

EUROPE HAS TO DO A BETTER JOB ON FIGHTING AGAINST TERRORISM
Terrorism remains an international problem that directly affects citizens everywhere, however Turkey has been unfairly bearing the brunt of responsibility and criticism and requires combined effort from other countries to help combat this issue.
London Bridge stabbing attack suspect Usman Khan was released last year after a terrorism conviction. He killed several people before being shot dead by officers responding to the attack in the center of the British capital.
European states estimate that as many as 6,000 of their citizens have traveled to Iraq and Syria to join ISIS. About a third were killed, while another third remains detained in the region or traveled elsewhere.
There are some 1,200 foreign ISIS/Daesh members being held in Turkish prisons, and nearly 300 were captured during Turkey's current anti-terror operation in northern Syria.
According to Turkish judicial sources, over 70,000 people have been banned entry to Turkey and over 7,000 linked to terrorist groups or fugitives have been deported.
Europe has not taken severe enough measures to prevent their citizens from joining ISIS and has failed to share useful intel information about these foreign fighters. If an ISIS terrorist comes from London to Turkey and holds a British passport, what do you expect Turkey to do to prevent crossing of the Syrian border other than to send the terrorist back? Europe would rather simply be rid of radicalized people than directly deal with the issue. On top of this, many European countries have accused Turkey of allowing terrorists to enter Syria.
For instance, in the aftermath of the Daesh terror attack in Brussels in 2016, Turkey had alerted Belgian authorities of the threat, but they ignored the intel information. Belgium failed to heed the warning about Ibrahim El Bakraoui, one of the suicide bombers who was deported from Turkey not just once, but twice, in 2015.
European countries have failed to cooperate with Turkey regarding the foreign fighters. Now, many of them are preparing to revoke the citizenships of ISIS members who came from Europe and were later arrested, implying that Turkey should mind its own business.
Turkey began sending ISIS fighters back to Europe last week, however, some European countries are moving very slowly on this issue. Even President Donald Trump said that the European nations have been a "tremendous disappointment" for refusing to take back captured Islamic State fighters currently being held in Syria, and he added that U.S. taxpayers will not pay to look after other countries' ISIS fighters.
As NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated, "In the fight against ISIL [Daesh], Turkey has made crucial contributions for physically destroying the so-called caliphate. Furthermore: No other ally is hosting so many Syrian refugees, 3.6 million in total. And no other NATO ally has suffered more terrorist attacks than Turkey."
ISIS has attacked Turkey 14 times and killed over 300 people. So, the question is which country has suffered the most?
Turkish Armed Forces neutralized over 3,000 Daesh terrorists and enabled 320,000 Syrians to return to their homes with the Operation Euphrates Shield launched in August 2016. Turkey is an active member of the Global Coalition Against Daesh and co-chair of the Counter Daesh Coalition Working Group on Foreign Terrorist Fighters. The most recent meeting was held in Ankara on May 7, 2019.
Some European countries are part of the Global Coalition, but only on paper. Many of them have not fought against ISIS in Syria. Furthermore, many European countries have failed to embrace refugees and now create new problems by refusing to take back terrorists who came from their own soil.
This is not a productive way to counter terrorism and foster a stable global community. Today, international cooperation with Turkey is more crucial than ever. EU countries must take responsibility for their own citizens who should be charged with terrorism in their homelands if we want to get any closer to collective peace.

President Trump Vows Sanctions on Iraq
The hundreds of Iraqis attacking the U.S. embassy in Baghdad were not innocent "protesters," They were mainly members of the Iran-backed militias that, not least at the behest of the IRGC Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by U.S. strike.
U.S.-Iran tensions have manifested themselves on Iraqi land for at least three years, and the United States and Iran are on heightened alert after a weekend of military action and fiery rhetoric. President Trump finished his Florida visit last night. During a flight from Florida to Washington, DC on Air Force One, President Trump talked about the increasing tensions with Iran. "They're allowed to kill our people, they're allowed to torture and maim our people, they're allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people, and we're not allowed to touch their cultural site? It doesn't work that way," President Trump stated.
President Trump threatened Iraq with the sanctions and a bill for billions of dollars if the U.S. is forced to withdraw its troops from the nation after the Iraqi Parliament. "If they do ask us to leave if we don't do it on an amicable basis. We will charge them sanctions as they've never seen before ever," President Trump said. Last night, there were strikes in the capital of Iraq, in which three rockets landed inside the heavily fortified Green Zone, US Embassy in Baghdad. Pentagon has announced that additional 3,500 troops are in progress to be sent to the region/U.S. have almost 60,000 troops in the Middle East. United States has 9 Military bases with 5200 US Troops.
Recent Tweets from President Trump on Iran:
"Iran has been nothing but problems for many years. Let this serves as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!"
"They attacked us, & we hit back. If they attack again, which I would strongly advise them not to do, we will hit them harder than they have ever been hit before!"
"The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!"
Secretary Pompeo's Media Appearances and Diplomatic Efforts:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has appeared on many major TV outlets since Saturday. "We have developed a strategy to attempt to convince the Iranian regime to behave like a normal nation. We expect to achieve that goal. We will defend America." Secretary Pompeo said on CNN.
He was asked about the Iraqi Parliament's vote; Secretary Pompeo said on the CBS program "Face the Nation,": "It is the United States that is prepared to help the Iraqi people get what it is they deserve and continue our mission there to take down terrorism from ISIS and others in the region,
Iranian Cultural Site Conflict
President Trump raised the prospect of targeting Iranian heritage/cultural sites Saturday in a tweet; however, many foreign policy experts objected to his tweet regarding targeting Iranian culture. As an example, Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO, Nicholas Burns, said President Trump's threat to destroy Iranian cultural sites would be a war crime under U.N. Security Council resolution 2347.
Regarding President Trump's statement attacking Iranian Cultural sites, Secretary Pompeo said that the United States would "behave lawfully" and "behave inside the system." Also, Presidential Adviser Kellyanne Conway suggested that Iran may be hiding strategic military targets at cultural sites
Secretary Pompeo Speaks Turkish Foreign Minister
Secretary Pompeo and Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu has discussed the decisive defensive action by President Donald Trump employed in Baghdad to protect American lives. Secretary reiterated the importance of countering the Iranian regime's destabilizing activities.
Secretary Pompeo has called his counterparts of Israel. Germany, Russia, China, Italy, France, UAE, and many other senior leaders globally regarding the U.S. recent operation in Baghdad.
Written Statement from Turkish Foreign Ministry:
"We strongly reiterate that turning Iraq into a conflict zone will harm peace and stability not only in Iraq but also in the entire region. Turkey has always been against foreign interventions, assassinations, and sectarian conflicts in the region."
European Leaders urge Iran to abide by nuclear pact.
French President, German Chancellor, and U.K. Prime Minister release a joint statement "We specifically call on Iran to refrain from further violent action or proliferation, and urge Iran to reverse all measures inconsistent with the JCPA. Also, NATO and US-led coalition Suspend Training Missions in Iraq After Soleimani's Killing
What to expect this week?
President Trump continues tweeting and speaking on Iran and Iraq. Additionally, Iran officials continue to criticize and threaten the U.S. regarding Soleimani's death. It is unknown what would be Iran's next step on U.S. however U.S. is ready to hit back harder if necessary. Gasoline is already up by about six cents a gallon in response to the escalation. We might see a negative economic impact shortly, globally. Iran could disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which is the world's biggest oil chokepoint. There are about 21 million barrels of oil a day flowed through Strait of Hormuz per year.
The U.S. administration continues to pursue a robust program of sanctions against Iran and has issued 9 Executive Orders to implement Congressional legislation since 2011. Trump has an option to have more sanctions on Iran.
Cybersecurity is important since one of the Iranian groups hacked the website of the Federal Depository Library Program.
The relationship between the U.S. and Iraqi government is getting worse, so if the Iraq Government approves the resolution of U.S. troops leaving would be a disaster. This would be more an opportunity for Iran and many terrorist groups. Iran also announced its complete departure from the 2015 nuclear deal that would be bad news for the West.
With the nuclear agreement, the West was controlling Iran at some point. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and many Democrats have been critical of Trump's decision to conduct an airstrike in Iraq that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The House will introduce and vote on a War Powers Resolution to limit the President's military actions regarding Iran. Senator Tim Kaine introduced a similar resolution. Diplomatic channels are essential to reduce the tension, so many countries have a responsibility to talk to both sides.

Where Are The U.S.-Turkey Relations Heading?
The relations between Turkey and the U.S. have recently undergone a sudden and unexpected deterioration. With the election of Trump, there was an expectation on the Turkish side that there would be some amelioration in the relations, because during President Obama's last term, there were contradictions due to differences in opinion between Turkey and the U.S. on issues such as on FETO and YPG. However, as the problems emerge, such as Trump's policy of arming the YPG more and more, not taking any steps regarding the FETO issue, the relations are at an impasse. Moreover, the arrest of Turkish citizens who worked in some of the U.S. Official Agencies within that period, some unfair pressures on Turkish citizens in the United States, imprisonment of Pastor Brunson, with the US discomfort on S400 subject the Turkey's rapprochement with countries like Russia and Iran being in search of new alternatives, left even deeper traces in the relationship. Just before 2018, visa suspension led to a trust issue, as it was not even the case during the crisis with Russia.

We Should Not Only Face History, We Should Embrace It
It was October 2005; one of our reporters conducted an interview with a young film director, Didem Yılmaz who had shot a short documentary about His Imperial Highness Prince Osman Ertugrul, the head of the Ottoman family. The documentary, "Seeking the Sultan", showed how a young Turkish-American student came across the Ottoman Royal family in New York.
Since then, I have been very curious about the Ottoman Dynasty, which has lived in exile. I attempted a couple times to reach out to Prince Ertuğrul Osman but I wasn't able to make it. He died in 2009 and one of my biggest regrets is not meeting with him before he passed away.
Almost 10 years later, I learned that current head of the Ottoman family lives in New York. I couldn't miss this opportunity once again and I reached him through a friend.
We met with HIH Bayazıd Osman on a cold winter night. Since then we get together once a week for lunch or dinner. Over the last 30 years of my life, I have been reading history books and autobiographies and watched documentaries about the Ottoman family in exile; now I am a witness to this history.
After serving their country for 622, the Ottoman Empire collapsed and about 300 members of the Ottoman Dynasty were forced into exile in March 1924. They spread out over 15 different countries, from France to Germany, Austria to Switzerland. Some of them ended up in America.
In this issue, we have researched the family members who came to the United States. TURKOFAMERICA is the first publication, which has gathered family members together in New York.
We have come across very sad stories, heartbreaking memories and inconceivable incidents. The family kept quiet almost 70 years. They declined most interview requests and preferred to stay low profile. While preparing this issue, I have met Princes (Şehzade), Princesses (Sultan), Imperial Princesses (Hanım Sultan), and other members of the family. The Ottoman family members whom I have met are down to earth people, each of them able to speak least three or four languages, generous and very proud of their heritage. Even though they have lived almost 90 years in exile, they don't say anything against Turkey.
In the last decades, Turkish governments have make reconciliation with different minorities and ethnic groups such as the Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians, and Gypsies who live in Turkey. I think it's time for the Turkish government to face the last Ottomans who survived in very hard conditions over the past 90 years. The government should consider giving their estates, lands, possessions, and assets back to them along with their Turkish IDs and passports. If Armenian, Assyrian, and Gypsy people in Turkey deserve to have their rights back, the family who served their country for 622 years should have the same rights as the rest.

It was conducted for the first time ever and most readers would recognize some of the names chosen with help of the Turk of America team.

Does Brooklyn Have A Chance to Host DNC 2016?
By Ali Cinar- 11/26/2014 - If you ask where the most Turkish American live in the United States, one of the response would be Brooklyn. There are over 30,000 Turks living in Brooklyn and this number is increasing every year. Recently, I was invited to a press conference regarding DNC 2016.
New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio has gathered Elected Officials and Community leaders at New York City Hall just hours after the Democratic Party has announced it had pared down its short list to three cities -- New York, Philadelphia, and Columbus.
If Democratic Party picks Brooklyn for 2016 , the convention will be at Brooklyn's Barclays Center as a symbol to the nation. NYC Mayor Bilasio believes Brooklyn will be chosen for 2016 and he added ""Brooklyn matters, because Brooklyn has shown the way -- this amazing renaissance over the last few decades, a place that was often the underdog; now the envy of the world. Brooklyn's an example to us all -- an example to America,"
Senator Charles Schumer, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, Rep. Yvette Clarke and her mom, former Councilwoman Una Clarke, and Council members Laurie Cumbo and Brad Lander were at the conference who are supporting this campaign from the beginning. Senator Schumer says " "This convention means a four-letter word: JOBS. J-O-B-S."
Given his audience, Senator Schumer said "He lives right near Barclays and has no trouble zooming in and out during marquee events.All those folks from the neighborhoods that we're going to bring on board, we'll make sure that everything works out just fine... There's no transportation problem."
Laura Santucci,who was the Chief of Staff for Mayor now is charge for DNC 2016 Campaign for New York indicated that " We will work all Communities and businesses during the campaign. We need a lot of signatures from Brooklyn.Lets work together and bring more businesses to Brooklyn"
DNC will be making a decision in January 2015 and it seems like there is a huge competition going on between three cities.One of the rumors that we are getting is Brooklyn doesnt have any hotels for the Convention and transportation would be an issue what the other 2 cities are highlighting.
Nevertheless ,Deputy Commissioner of Public Affairs Harold Zimmerman has told me that they will work with the Turkish-American Community and get their support for the race.
Lets see what the result would be but it would be very beneficial for the city growing the economy and job opportunities for the People of New York.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has already said he will raise $100 million over the next two years should the Democratic National Committee hold its 2016 convention at Brooklyn's Barclays Center,
New York hosted Democratic National Convention in 1924, 1976, 1980, and 1992.
Lets see if NYC will be the lucky one to get?

Bavyera dış politikada da Almanya'nın diğer eyaletlerinden ayrılır ve kendi ağırlığını büyük bir ölçüde koyar. Bavyera'da büyük sayıda Türk yaşamaktadır ve Türklerin ağırlıklı olduğu yer Münih'tir.

The death of parody
After I picked myself up off the floor and contained my gales of laughter, I briefly considered creating a parody of Michelle Malkin's bizarre performance as a cheerleader, but then I realized that (a) nobody really wants to see me in a cheer outfit, and (b) why parodize something that's already a complete parody of itself?
Really, as conservatives begin to see the doom of their looming irrelevance descending upon them, they're getting more and more frantic, further and further extreme, weirder and more absurd by the day. It's kind of pathetic, but it is also well deserved.
Now comes a report that Fox News picked up a parody story and ran it as news:
On Tuesday, Fox News morning show "Fox & Friends" aired at least eight segments on a purported "news" story that was actually a parody article written by a publication similar to The Onion.
The original news report also demonstrated the way Fox's audience of flying monkeys is trained to descend upon command:
Following the Fox broadcast, Levesque's office received dozens of angry phone calls and profanity-laced e-mails, made and sent by people all over the country, who charge the school district overreacted to what they believed from news reports to be a ham sandwich tossed at a Somali student. […]
"Fox has figured out, from the calls we've gotten, that they've made a big mistake," Wessler said.
"This is a wake-up call that the level of hate and anger, among a small population, is vibrant," he added.
Levesque said he was bothered not only that the parody took aim at a sensitive issue in Lewiston, but also that Fox and others reported the information as fact without checking. The national media, Levesque said, sees information posted online and "uses it as gospel."
Unless, of course, it is written by a dirty fucking hippie.
There's no further need for parody with the conservative movement. It's becoming one all of its own.

When you opt to use our skip hire assistance, you will comprehend that we provide rapid conveyance of your chosen skip and the best doable prices on the market. We offer a free pick up service to all customers within the area and can even help you with obtaining an on road permit for any, skip, at an additional cost.
The type of skip that you wish to hire will obviously reflect the amount of junk you wish to dispose of. As a general rule of thumb household or garden waste usually requires a midi or mini skip. Bigger building and construction jobs, usually require the larger skip sizes.
If you are in the middle of a domestic improvement job, you will likely have lots building waste to get rid of. Skips are often the most inexpensive waste removal solutions, but a number of things will influence the expense of hire. Size, permits, and the time of skip hire are some of these factors that you should take into account.
When hiring a skip, it's important to estimate how much waste you are likely to create, otherwise you can end up with a wrong size container, which can only increase the payment. In addition, a skip that's too small will make you with leftover waste that you may do without.
The length of time you will be employing a skip for is another factor that influences the price. You may think that the longer you hire a skip for, the more will have to pay. However, this is not always the case. A large number of skip hire companies now offer regarding longer periods, but only consider this option if your project is likely to take a few months to finish. Keep in mind that if you place the container on public land, you will require license extensions and renewals from the council before putting the skip on the road. Most councils only issue permits that are valid for a fortnight to at least one month.
Depending on which skip hire company you choose, they could save you the trouble and obtain a support before putting the container on the road. In the event that this happens, make sure to still check that the hire company has a current permit in order to avoid fines. Most permits are only valid for around 14 days but you should still look into the the validity with your hire company.
You can skip the permit altogether (no pun intended) and just put the container on your own driveway. However, if you have no room outside your house, ensure you let the skip hire company know as they provides you with bags or other waste clearance schemes. Some companies may even bring a van and wait while you load all the garbage on it.

Пударци је насеље у општини Гроцка у Граду Београду. Према попису из 2011. било је 1353 становника.

Историја

Насељено место Пударци се налази јужно од вароши Гроцке. Северозападно од места је место које се зове Старо Село, где се и данас види по који споменик без натписа. Нема података а ни предање ништа не зна да каже о постанку овога села. У арачким списковима из првих десетина 19. века помињу се Пударци као село које је имало 1818. године 22 куће, а по попису из 1922. године село је имало 204 куће са 1126 становника.

Село су основали преци данашњих Ђорђевића и настанили су се у долини Потока, где је село било све до 1815. године. Тек после ослобођења почели су се из долине исељавати по странама и насељавати на данашња места. Старе су породице: Марковићи, Маринковићи, Маторчевићи и Пантелићи. Остале су породице досељене и то: Велићковићи (Ранковићи) из Куча, одакле је дошао њихов чукундеда: Лазаревићи, Мартиновићи и Недељковићи су старином из Корита; Стефановићи (Радојћићи, Глишићи, Илићи) старином су од Лесковца: Павловићи (Јеремићи) су из Куча; Пејићи (Ђурићи) су из "Ерске" и Илићи из Босне. Село није имало цркву Служили се манастиром Раиновцем. Село Пударци имају своју школу од 1893. године. (подаци крајем 1921).

Демографија

У насељу Пударци живи 1117 пунолетних становника, а просечна старост становништва износи 40,4 година (38,6 код мушкараца и 42,1 код жена). У насељу има 413 домаћинстава, а просечан број чланова по домаћинству је 3,41.

Ово насеље је у великим делом насељено Србима (према попису из 2002. године).

Le 28 avril 2011, Breathe Carolina annonce leur quatrième album studio, qui sera titré Hell Is What You Make It, et qui sortira le 12 juillet sur Fearless. Le 18 mars 2014, il publie sur leur chaîne YouTube, le titre Bang It Out en featuring avec le groupe Karmin.

Biographie

Débuts (2007)
Kyle Even, né le 21 septembre 1985, et David Schmitt, né le 26 mars 1988, commencent leur carrière en jouant dans de petits groupes locaux du Colorado. Après avoir connu le rock alternatif, Even se met au chant pendant son adolescence. Even joue dans le groupe Rivendale. Ils produiront un EP intitulé Portrait of Shadows. Schmitt, de son côté, commence la basse à 12 ans puis se met à la guitare, jouant dans le Colorado avec As the Flood Waters Rose (plus tard rebaptisé Autobiography).

Les deux groupes joueront souvent ensemble. As the Flood Waters Rose ouvre pour Rivendale à la sortie de l'album de Rivendale au Grandpa's Music Box de Thornton. Après son départ de As the Flood Waters Rose, Schmitt enregistre ses propres chansons sous GarageBand, auquel Even participe à la création. Les deux groupes se séparent, et Even et Schmitt s'associent pour former Breathe Carolina.

Gossip et It's Classy, Not Classic (2007–2008)
Breathe Carolina est formé en 2007 par Kyle Even et David Schmitt qui enregistrent des chansons grâce au logiciel GarageBand pour le plaisir. Ils créent un compte MySpace, gagnant plus de 10 000 lectures en 2008, et accumulant près de 30 millions de lectures en 2009. Le nom de Breathe Carolinavient d'un rêve qu'a fait Schmitt quand il était en troisième au collège dans lequel il tentait de calmer une femme nommée Carolina. Peu après, Even quitte son travail de photographe pour tourner à plein temps avec le groupe. Leur premier EP, Gossip, est publié exclusivement sur iTunes le 26 novembre 2007. Il est auto-publié, puis retiré du site.

Breathe Carolina enregistre son premier album toujours avec GarageBand, et signe au label Rise Records pour sa sortie. L'album comprend quelques nouvelles chansons, dont certaines issus de Gossip comme The Introduction, No Vacancy, Show Me Yours, Classified, That's Classy, et You Wish. Don't Forget: Lock The Door est le seul morceau issu de l'EP Gossip à ne pas apparaitre dans l'album. L'album est publié le 16 septembre 2008, et suivi par une tournée en soutien à l'album. Breathe Carolina tourne en tête d'affiche avec Every Avenue, Brokencyde, et The Morning of. Au The Delicious Tour, ils annoncent une vidéo pour Diamonds. La vidéo fait participer Millionaires, Josh White d'Umbrella Clothing et This City Is Burning Records.

Hello Fascination (2009–2010)

Quelques mois après la sortie de la compilation Punk Goes Pop 2, et peu après avoir terminé le Take Action Tour 2009, Breathe Carolina annonce son départ de Rise Records et sa signature chez Fearless Records, ainsi que leur entrée e nstudio pour l'enregistrement d'un nouvel album, Hello Fascination, avec Mike Green. Le 29 juin, 2009, la première chanson de Hello Fascination, intitulée Welcome to Savannah, est incluse dans le Fearless Records Summer Sampler 2009. De nouvelles chansons sont aussi jouées lors du Vans Warped Tour 2009, dont I.D.G.A.F. et Hello Fascination. Le 27 juillet 2009, le second morceau de Hello Fascination, la chanson-titre, est publiée. L'album Hello Fascination, lui, est publié le 18 août 2009.

En septembre 2009, le groupe nanonce sa venue au EZ Bronz Tour. Toujours en 2009, Breathe Carolina participe à la couveture du Substream Music Press, qui comprend aussi une interview avec Even et Schmitt. À la fin octobre 2009, Hello Fascination est publié au Japon. L'édition japonaise de l'album comprend une chanson bonus intitulée Have You Ever Danced?. Cette chanson fait participer David Strauchman (Every Avenue), Jeffree Star, et Austin Carlile (de Of Mice and Men).

Hello Fascination de Breathe Carolina sera joué au Jay Leno Show de NBC, diffusé le 14 septembre 2009. L'édition de luxe de Hello Fascination est publiée le 6 juillet. Le 23 juin, Schmitt et Even lancent une marque de vêtements appelée Blush, et I.D.G.A.F. est annoncé comme single, dont le clip est publié le 30 juillet 2010. Le duo joue sur le stage Altec Lansing au Vans Warped Tour 2010 et reprend la chanson Down de Jay Sean pour la compilation Punk Goes Pop 3, publiée le 2 novembre 2010.

Les deux autres chansons de l'album, Wooly et Sweat It Out, sont mises en streaming avant la sortie de l'album. Le groupe participe au Scream It Like You Mean It 2011 Tour en été en soutien à l'album. Un EP intitulé Blackout: The Remixes EP est publié le 27 septembre sur iTunes.

Schmitt annonce aussi la production d'un nouveau clip. La chanson est publiée en avant-première sur l' Alternative Press le 21 mai, et en téléchargement payant le lendemain.

Le 6 juillet 2013, le duo publie sa première mixtape Bangers en téléchargement gratuit sur Sol Republic. Puis ils tournent en Amérique du Nord avec We the Kings, the Ready Set, et le rappeur T. Mills. Le 15 octobre 2013, David Schmitt annonce sur l' Alternative Press le départ de Kyle Even, pour ses obligations de père.

Le groupe participe ensuite à la tournée We are Savages Tour avec Jonny Craig, Mod Sun, et Ghost Town. Le groupe publie trois singles de leur album Savages, la chanson-titre ayant fait le buzz grâce au clip. Sellouts, avec Danny Worsnop d'Asking Alexandria, est le single officiel, et l'accompagne de Bang It Out. Un clip de la chanson Chasing Hearts avec Tyler Carter du groupe de metalcore Issues est publié le 14 avril 2014, suivi par un autre clip pour la chanson Collide.

Il reçoit 2,5 millions d'écoutes sur Spotify et est diffusé sur la chaine radio BPM (Sirius XM). Début 2016, le groupe continue sa lancée dans l'EDM et sort Soldier en collaboration avec le duo néerlandais Blasterjaxx (mars 2016), puis Marco Polo avec Bassjackers et Reez (avril 2016), et enfin Giants avec Husman et Carah Faye, cette fois sur le label Armada Music.

Sixteen years ago, we got married. We were two very young people barely into our twenties. Our greatest worries were acing our college midterms. Wingless chicken wings and Midori sours at Chili's were our idea of tasteful, casual dining. We regularly went to bed long after midnight (by choice!). Reaching the sunset of our thirties was far from our minds, let alone setting up house overseas and birthing a child there.
Sixteen years of marriage later, we are the happiest we have ever been. To make ourselves even happier on our very special wedding anniversary, we worked around Dumpling's semi-predictable nap schedule and jetted over to Sanlitun for some make-us-happy eating.
Ah Sanlitun: Beijing's non-Chinese food mecca....Here you can get a health fix on kale smoothies at Wagas, sink your teeth into legit fish tacos and guacamole at Taco Bar, or risk serious garlic breath aftermath on hummus at Biteapitta (so worth it). We forwent our usual casual dining and opted for a fancier fare at Bottega. Fancy fare for us is simply a single candle on the table. No tablecloths or servers clad in penguin suits required.
Because we worked around Dumpling's nap and early bedtime, we arrived at Bottega at 4:30 pm. With no other customer in the joint, we got three attentive servers to ourselves. One of the server's captivated Dumpling with his generous smiles for about ten minutes. Thanks for the distraction, Mr. Server.
We sat on Bottega's slender patio and under Beijing's dull gray sky. Here we enjoyed the some of the best weather that Beijing has to offer during the year. Unfortunately, these pleasant temperatures are transient. Beijing, after all, only has two seasons: a long, muggy, and gray summer and a long, cold, and dry winter. Fall and spring seem to last a couple weeks each. Before we know it, we'll be layering on the sweaters, scarves, and down coats.
Oohh…let's not think about winter. For now, on our 16 year wedding anniversary, let's eat! Bottega has a nice selection of Neapolitan style pizzas, none of them faintly resembling China Pizza Hut's oddball fried shrimp and canned peaches pizzas. We opted for the kale and sausage pizza with red sauce and the house made vegetarian raviolis topped with pesto and pine nuts. birdMAN was a little hesitant about ordering the vegetarian raviolis, but my-oh-my! Those raviolis stuffed with eggplant, carrot, and zucchini and bathed in a decadently creamy sauce made our hearts sing. The pizza, while generously oozing with mozzarella cheese and packed with flavor, was a little moist perhaps due to the cooked kale. A bottle of Italian red wine rounded out the fare and jacked up the dinner bill.
Dumpling, our little foodie in training, made our 16th year one of the best. This year we got our own little human! And she likes food as much as we do.
Sixteen years later, we are a family of three. Our greatest worries include making sure Dumpling gets her nap and in bed on time. Thin crust pizza and a bottle of wine is our idea of fine dining. We regularly go to bed at ten pm (by choice!) Reaching the sunset of our fifties…Come on now. That's still really, really far away!
Happy sixteen years to us. I love you both, birdMAN and my darling Dumpling.
Dumpling gives the raviolis two thumbs up!
So you may want to know, why in the world, do we stay? It's not because life in Beijing is a breeze. There are plenty of things about living here that are plain annoying. For instance, listening to my neighbor hacking up loogies in the hallway makes my stomach churn. Other annoying things include strangers touching Dumpling without warning, the inexplicable amount of dust and dirt everywhere, air-dried-stiff-as-a-board laundry (no clothes dryers here!), extreme weather (hot and muggy, freezing and dry, sandstorms), and bad air days.
Life here, though, has a major advantage. Life is simple.
Stress-free work: birdMAN works Monday through Friday 8 am - 4 pm at an international high school. With the exception of a class trip and a few nights overseeing study hall, he reliably comes home by 4:30 pm. No overtime and he enjoys extended winter and summer holidays. An almost stress-free job and me having no job keeps our stress levels to practically zero. While our household income may be much lower compared to a typical US household, it is enough that we can keep our fridge stocked with cheese and butter, regularly drink beer and eat cheeseburgers at Great Leap, order pizza whenever we don't feel like cooking, and set aside some money for a rainy day.
Transportation: birdMAN rides his bike to work everyday. Prior to Dumpling, we rode our bikes everywhere, but now I am a pedestrian. Instead of two cars (like what would be required to live in California) to maintain and wash and the required insurance, we pay less than a dollar per subway ride and probably spend less than $20 per year on bike maintenance.
House: We a rent a one bedroom 80 sq m (860 sq ft) apartment for 6,000 RMB (900 USD) per month. Water and electricity are cheap. We have no garage and very limited storage space. Since I disdain clutter, we simply don't buy a lot of stuff. Forget fancy kitchen gadgets like mixers or food processors. There is no more room in the cupboard.
Shopping: As far as clothes and shoes go, there's not much I want to buy in China. The malls are full of expensive and ugly polyester clothes. Taobao and Jingdong have made internet shopping commonplace, but I find navigating the Chinese and gambling on the questionable quality of stuff tiresome. We just get our shopping fixes done in the US where we a.) understand item descriptions and reviews, b.) can return anything that's unsatisfactory and/or ill-fitting, and c.) buy expensive stuff on sale. I save a lot of time here by simply not shopping.
Ok, you might say, That's nice and dandy, but really, Why? Isn't California so nice? Don't you want your Dumpling to grow up with her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins? And don't even get me started on the Beijing smog!
Yes, that does sound nice. But we do have compelling reasons to stay. We have made a home here. We have friends here. We have students. Simply put, we aren't quite ready to give up what we have worked so hard for the last five years just yet. It's just that simple.
P.S. We would also like to thank Great Leap Brewing for making Beijing life a bit sweeter. See us at GLB through the years.

Year 5. March 2017. We make it into a family affair.
Well, that's a wrap! Another great summer in the land of our birth: sunny and hot California. Seven weeks of good eating, family time, and of course, California sun.
To soak up that California sun, we packed up Dumpling and all her accouterments for her very first plane ride for her very first trip to the land of her citizenship. The summer of 2017 hereafter shall be known as summer of firsts for Dumpling: first plane ride, first time to the ocean, first time to Lake Tahoe, first filet mignon, first time meeting an adoring handful of aunties and uncles and a rambunctious bunch of cousins.
Unfortunately, Dumpling didn't make it to one of California's hotspots, Disneyland; but who needs Disneyland when there's Moomoo and Aunty Sunny's houses? The toys were beyond imagination! Toys that beep, sing, vibrate, glow, roll, collapse, expand, float, and elevate. Soft toys. Hard toys. Animal toys. Food toys. You name it, California's got it.
But even better than the toys were the cousins. I must say, the cousins know how to put on a show. While Milan jumped around like a silly kangaroo, Capri shared all her favorite toys. Caden was like a gentle protective big brother, while Zephram's got zany moves. Keiko and Kenji were all smiles and brought out a selection of stuffed toys. Four-year old Enzo put his nose right up to Dumpling's, and said with impressive diction, "You're impressive!" Dumpling couldn't contain herself waving her hands and giggling with excitement.
Vacation came to an end too soon and we got out of California's hot sun and into Beijing's muggy one. Dumpling still hasn't adjusted to the fourteen hour time change. Every morning Dumpling is ready to party at 4 am and go down for the night at 7 am. In addition to the time change, she's adjusting to only having her two boring parents around. I think she is seriously missing California and all its fun-ness. Well, even a baby must learn the hard truth: we can't be on vacation all the time!
Time to get into a routine. birdMAN goes back to work in a few weeks and I have got lots of child-rearing and homemaking to do.
California sun, we'll catch you later!
P.S. Many thanks to our generous friends and family that fed us, held and adored our baby, and showered her with gifts. We love you!
