Wow, diplomacy! How can it possibly hurt to start talking with an adversary? Watch the counter on our blog and see how long it’s been since we’ve had diplomatic relations with North Korea. Hint: We’ve NEVER had diplomatic relations with North Korea. …
I’m stunned. A US General who actually speaks with reason. “He said that if the U.S. were to withdrawal without first finding Iran in material breach of the deal, allies would likely question other American treaty obligations. And North Korea, for its part, would have little incentive to enter into talks over its own nuclear program if Washington were to tear up an agreement that, by all accounts, Iran is adhering to.”

The US has a demonstrated history of “using” the Kurds and pulling out the rug from under them once we no longer need them. This goes back to Kissinger days. What’s up this time?

War has always been a political venture with the victors taking the “booty” so to speak. WW One changed the amounts of money to be made on war and history has never been the same. Our current “never ending” wars have taken profiteering to hard-to-fathom levels.…

Whether you believe we should be in Syria or not, whether you believe that we should be engaging in the verbal back and forths with Russia, we are actually fighting a physical war with Russia. And the western media is ignoring it.…
