America just missed a bullet thanks to the quick thinking of President Blumpf.
As reported by The (s)Hill:
"The State Department on Tuesday rebuked the Senate’s latest move to recognize the mass killing and deportation of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during the first half of the 20th century as GENOCIDE..."
This move by Blumpf was in response to a resolution passed by the Senate last week recognizing the Armenian genocide as official U.S. policy.
“I’m thankful that this resolution has passed at a time in which there are still survivors of the genocide who will be able to see that the Senate acknowledges what they went through,” Sen. Bob Melendez (D-N.J.) said on the Senate floor.
But despite the vote, the Blumpf's State Department rejected re-labeling the mass killing of Armenians over a hundred years ago as "genocide."
The (s)Hill again:
“The position of the Administration has not changed,” State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement. “Our views are reflected in the President’s definitive statement on this issue from last April.”
The global Armenian Remembrance Day is marked on April 24 each year and was commemorated by President Trump with a statement recognizing that beginning in 1915, more than 1.5 million Armenians were “deported, massacred or marched to their deaths” under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. The president did not describe the events as a genocide.
Phew, that was close!
As we all know there is only one GENOCIDE and that is the Holocaust. Also, the Jews came up with this concept, so for the Armenians to muscle in on it would simply be copyright violation.
Also, think of it this way: if the Armenians could moralise their historical suffering to the same degree that Jews have successfully done, the USA would then be honour-bound to make the same enormous sacrifices for them that it already makes for Israel.
Do you really want to be paying an EXTRA $10.5 million dollars each and every day, as the US already pays Israel?
Do you really want to be fighting continual wars in the Caucasus region and occupying any country that threatens Armenia? Because that's exactly what America does now to back up Israel.

Do you really want Dan Crenshaw to lose his other eye for Armenia? Rhetorical question -- don't answer. |
Recognising some "bad stuff" that happened a long, long time ago as a genuine "Genocide" certainly does not come cheap.
Remember that!
Remember that!
Also, in this case, officially relabelling this bit of history as a "GENOCIDE" would also piss off the Turks -- the same people who actually did it.
This would greatly undermine America's position in the Middle East, which is already bad enough -- something to do with all those wars it has fought for Israel.
