After thinking about the stylistic mannerisms of DJT and his pal Mattis, I believe I am approaching the truth.
Trump is a Management by Exception executive. He then feels free to watch TV news shows, argue with the CIA PDB briefers and intervene on cheap moncler coats an exceptional basis with his subordinates to give them ”course corrections,” a s chewings and/or pats on the head as he probably did with the employees of his sole proprietor company. He also has no inhibitions about making side deals with various other CEO types without informing ”his people.”
Mattis, the warrior monk, has a highly developed style of management that is not very different from that of his boss. He, too, is a management by exception type. He believes in delegating to his subordinates as much power as they think they need.
moncler factory outlet This sounds great, especially if you have ever worked for the far more common, nitpicking, micro manager types. BUT, there is a certain cumulative effect when you have two Delegators stacked one on top of the other in the moncler outlet hierarchical world of government. IMO the result can be seen in the case of Syria where military commanders in the field have been given a great deal of freedom of action to pursue what they think we should be doing even as DJT is busy with the TV news, tweeting away happily, and engaged his own pursuit of ”side deals.” moncler factory outlet
cheap moncler coats This results in fitful beginnings and endings, orders from the WH that have no antecedents from the point of view of the forces in the field and frustration of officers who are not accustomed to sudden change and who are generally rigorous rather moncler sale than creatively spontaneous thinkers. Having watched US military think tanks try to deal with futures they have not seen as cheap moncler yet, I can testify to the existence of a collective absence of ”the vision https://www.moncleronlineoutlet.com thing.” cheap moncler coats
moncler jackets outlet Well, pilgrims, The DJT/Mattis method is one way of doing business. pl moncler jackets outlet
cheap moncler jackets sale Looks like the FBI is in big trouble thanks to John McCain. They may have paid Christopher Steele, either directly or through Fusion GPS, for the cheap moncler sale 16th report of the now infamous Steele Dossier. If you have not been paying attention, there were 17 reports in the Steele Dossier the first is dated 20 June 2016 and the last is dated 13 moncler outlet store December 2016. Only one problem. The Clinton campaign only paid for 16 of the 17 reports. Their contract with Fusion GPS ran until the end of October 2016: cheap moncler jackets sale

cheap moncler Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained the company monlcer down jackets in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Before that agreement, Fusion GPS’s research into Trump was funded by an unknown Republican client during the GOP primary. cheap moncler
The Clinton moncler outlet online campaign and the DNC, through the law firm, continued to fund Fusion GPS’s research through the end of October 2016, days before Election Day.
cheap moncler outlet Fusion GPS gave Steele’s reports and other research documents to Elias, the people familiar with the matter said. It is unclear how or how much of that information was shared with the campaign and cheap moncler jackets the DNC and who in those organizations was aware of the roles of Fusion GPS and Steele.

moncler sale outlet ”We will continue to prevent conflicts buy moncler jackets with moncler outlet sale Russians, but we don’t intend to continue operations in areas controlled by Assad,” Maj. Gen. Felix Gedney said, according to the Russian news agency Sputnik. moncler sale outlet
moncler sale During the briefing, Maj. Gen. Gedney also accused the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) of allowing ISIS fighters to move through its areas north of the US led coalition base in al Tanaf, near the Syrian Iraqi border. Moreover, the US led coalition commander called on the SAA to clear these areas from ISIS. moncler sale
moncler outlet ”We are seeing the movement of a limited number of militants westwards. They seem to be moving with impunity through the regime held territory, showing that the regime is clearly either unwilling or unable to defeat Daesh [ISIS]within their borders,” Maj. Gen. Gedney said. moncler outlet
moncler outlet online The US led coalition is trying to establish the current situation in eastern Syria as a de facto border between the SAA and the US backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This could be the first step in a US plan to separate the SDF held areas from Syria in order to form a Kurdish dominated enclave within the country.” SFPilgrims, we have been indicating here at SST that there is a tacit understanding between DJT and the Rooshians as to a desired outcome in Syria. Like just about all successful lone wolf entrepreneurs he does not tell ”his people,” (in this case; Tillerson, McMaster, Mattis et al) what he is really going to do. From his point of view, why should he? They probably would try to foist some fancy pants theory off on him when all he wants is a good deal. From his point of view they are all flunkies. Haley may think what Moncler Outlet he tell her is literally true. She doesn care. The big apartment in the Waldorf Towers is its own reward. No wonder he wants fewer bureaucrats! Ah, a revelation! moncler outlet online
moncler outlet uk In this case, the war in Syria will end with the ”processing” of yet more jihadis by the SAG and its allies (R+6) in a variety of pockets around the country and generally west of the Euphrates watershed. Idlib will continue to be a main focus. While that occurs the US led coalition will hang onto the country east of the Euphrates and north of Raqqa until the various diplomatic processes yield an agreement that contains an autonomous area for the SDF/YPG. Turkey will not be happy, but tant pis pour eux. never said that Turkey would be successful in using its weapons purchases as leverage against Russia. Russia is too big, too near and probably offers the best deals for that to work, and they have Putin. moncler outlet uk
moncler jacket sale My friends tell me that actual foreign policy in the DJT era rolls downhill from The Boss wherever he might be and often arrives at theater level as an unexplained surprise. Well, tant pis pour eux aussi. In this case a Brit general was sent out to talk about this policy so that the Americans (probably unhappy about it) would not have to do so. This is probably because of Russian influence. The Russians are continuing their effort to close out the war in Syria with the present Syrian government still in power and a satisfying number moncler mens jackets of ”harvested” jihadis on their score card. Yesterday Turkey and Russia announced a deal for the sale to Turkey of the Russian S 400 SAM system. Perhaps Erdogan thinks that gives him more leverage with the Russians in the Syria peace negotiations. moncler jacket sale
moncler outlet store I suspect that Erdogan goal is to retain as much of Syria territory as possible in the areas that the Turks have occupied in the last year. In his imagined role as restorer of the Ottoman Empire such action would have a moncler sale outlet certain logic. pl moncler outlet store.
