On June 7th, Israel violated the ceasefire agreement with Iran by again bombing Lebanon, and Iran then bombed Israel for having broken that ceasefire agreement, and Israel then resumed its bombing of Iran and asked the Trump Administration for permission to launch its biggest-ever bombing of Iran. On June 8th, […]
The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran has come under severe strain after a renewed exchange of missile strikes and air attacks threatened to reignite one of the Middle East’s most dangerous confrontations.

It is no surprise that beneath the surface of the global financial system lies a web of deception, greed, and treachery, where powerful figures hide their true motives behind a facade of patriotism. But the extent to which U.S. President Donald Trump’s hypocritical crypto dealings endanger the security of U.S. […]

The Polish-led “cordon sanitaire” that’s taking shape along Russia’s western borders will connect with the Turkish-led one that’s poised to emerge along its southern borders, thus tightening NATO’s military-strategic encirclement of Russia per the “NATO 3.0” model.

An inane decision to add a blue protective coating to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool in Washington. These events increasingly point to the loss of sound mind.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov gave […]
