The fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq is under-resourced and over-regulated, former National Security Agency and CIA director Michael Hayden said, the latest veteran among the U.S. intelligence community to weigh in on the series of terror attacks in Beirut and Paris. We need to commit more to the fight and we need to loosen our rules of engagement, he said Tuesday on CBS This Morning. A classic case in airmaxplus point: About 36 hours ago, American air power destroyed over 100 tanker trucks in Syria. They were being used to literally fuel the treasury of the Islamic State, Hayden added. We could have done that on Thursday, but we only decided to do it on Sunday. I think there are a whole host of decisions like that, that if we loosen the rules of engagement, we can actually more strongly take the fight to the Islamic State. The retired general, who now works with global risk management firm Chertoff Group, also said he absolutely agreed with CIA director John Brennan s comments Monday on how U.S. intelligence capacities have been damaged.

Russian President Vladimir Putin approved changes to his country s nuclear doctrine this week, formally amending the conditions mdash; and lowering crocs schuhe the threshold mdash; under which Russia would consider using its nuclear weapons. Moscow announced Tuesda nike dunk donna y that Putin had signed off on the changes to the doctrine, formally known as The basics of state policy in the field of nuclear deterrence, as Ukraine launched its first strike deeper into Russia using U.S.-supplied missiles.The updated doctrine states that Russia will treat an attack by a non-nuclear state that is supported by a country with nuclear capabilities as a joint attack by both. That means any attack on Russia by a country that s part of a coalition could be seen as an attack by the entire group.Under the doctrine, Russia could theoretically consider any major attack on its territory, even with conventional weapons, by non-nuclear-armed Ukraine sufficient to trigger a nuclear response, because Ukraine is backed by the nuclear-armed United States.Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine multiple times since he ordered the full-scale invasion of the country on Feb. 24, 2022, and Russia has repeatedly warned the West that if Washington allowed Ukraine to fire Western-made missiles deep into its territory, it would consider the U.S. and its NATO allies to be directly involved in the war.U.S. officials said Ukra adidas samba og ine fired eight U.S.-made ATACMS missiles into Russia s Bryansk region early Tuesday, just a Ruhl A Journalist Reflects On Mozambique

President Obama defended gay rights in Kenya Saturday, calling for equal protection under the law for LGBT citizens of the African country -- a position that Kenyan President Uruhu Kenyatta fired back against during their joint press conference. I believe in the principle of treating people equally under the law. And that they are deserving of equal protection under the law and that the state should not discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation, Mr. Obama, standing next to President Kenyatta, said to reporters. I m unequivocal on this. The president added that as an African American living in the United States he was painfully aware of what happens when people are institutionally discriminated against, citing the U.S. history of segregation, Jim Crow laws, and slavery. crocs badelatschen adidas sambarose Obama visits Kenya for first time as President 03:24 When you start treating people differently not because of any harm they re doing anybody but because they re different, that salomon hombre s the path whereby freedoms begin to erode and bad things happen, Mr. Obama added.
