[Democrats and their liberal supporters are quick to condemn Donald Trump's racist remarks and to say, "Welcome refugees!" but remain silent when it comes to U.S. foreign policy being the main driving force behind the mass migration crisis. That is because the Democrats uphold the global hegemony of the United States as much as the... Continue Reading →
[Following the recent example of Britain’s illegal seizure of an Iranian oil tanker off the coast of Gibraltar, Ukraine seized a Russian tanker at the port of Izmail in southwestern Ukraine on the 25th of July. The Ukrainian government claims the Russian-flagged tanker “Nika Spirit” was involved in the Kerch Strait incident that occurred in... Continue Reading →
[Genuine aid would be unconditional and impartial. Retinal scanning and facial recognition technology should not be a necessary component of a food aid operation. Clearly there are ulterior motives for such a move. It turns out that the largest donors to the WFP (the program responsible for food aid in Yemen) are the same barbarous... Continue Reading →

[The United States made the unilateral decision to pull out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty on December 2018; the official withdrawal begins on February 2, 2019. Despite Russia consistently complying with the terms, the U.S. had always been looking for an excuse to not keep its end of the bargain. Just before the official U.S.... Continue Reading →
[On September 8th two U.S. jets bombed the town of Hajin, in the Syrian Deir Ezzor province, using banned white phosphorus incendiary munitions. Throughout the conflict, the U.S. and its allies have made a habit of accusing the Syrian government of using chemical weapons (and other fabricated atrocities) to use as pretexts to prolong and...

[On August 25th, 2018, Senator and former U.S. Republican Presidential candidate John McCain died at the age of 81; he was diagnosed with brain cancer last year on July 2017.

[Yet another atrocity carried out by the Saudi-led coalition against the people of Yemen.
