RE: Trump Travel Ban Goes Into Effect - Thursday 29th June
The list of nations mentioned themselves seem rather arbitrary...
What of Iraq... Afghanistan... Saudi Arabia?
I have nothing against the nations mentions per se - but I do find it odd that some nations get singled out while others do not.
I have to agree @pathforger. It all seem like Trump and advisors didn't really think it out at best. Worst they deliberately left some countries out for what purpose? Followed
Well Saudi Arabia shouldn't prove too much of a puzzle - as the USA and UK have both committed to large scale weapons sales (pretty much injecting war probability into the region - and almost certainly precipitating the Qatar crisis - a maneuver against Iran).
As for Afghanistan and Iraq... those remain something of a puzzle... unless the intention is to let in particular, relatively easy to direct seeds of terrorism (both are stitched-up war zones whose populations have a reason to have a beef with the USA - and I'd be surprised if the CIA presence there weren't also a factor).
Still... this is speculation...
Even so - there exists a consistency issue with this list of nations. 'Something' is up.
