Moscow’s presence in Syria was crucial to propping up Assad’s regime, and perhaps facilitating (or at least allowing) chemical-weapons attacks and other atrocities. Afterward, however, Trump changed his mind. “We made our point,” Trump told me early Saturday morning, and we could “hit them much harder if need be later.” Moreover, the US had just imposed substantial sanctions on Russia on April 6, as required by the “Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act,” which Trump detested because Russia was its target.

Том Эллис, ближайший помощник Джесси Хелмса, стал президентом CNP после Тима Лахайя.

Он был также директором Pioneer fund - расистского фонда, который спонсировал исследования в области евгеники. Когда эти связи всплыли, это помешало Эллису занять пост в администрации Рейгана.
