This week, the US tested its new Standard Missile 3 Block IIA ballistic missile interceptor.

Grandson of Muslim Brotherhood Founder Arrested on Suspicion of Rape
Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of Hassan al Banna, the founder of the terrorist group Muslim Brotherhood (illegal in Syria, Russia and Egypt), has been arrested by French police on suspicion of multiple allegations of rape.

Kurdish Ties to “Israel” Force Western Leaders to Condemn Turkey’s Operation Olive Branch
French President Emmanuel Macron has cautioned Turkey against what he called an “invasion of Syria”. This is supremely ironic as France joined the US led coalition during the wholly illegal bombing campaigns against the Syrian Arab Republic. While Turkey’s presence remains unwelcome by Syria and is consequently not strictly legal, […]
Trump’s State of The Union: A Little Less Poverty and A Lot More War
Donald Trump’s First State of The Union Address was entirely predictable.

At Davos, China Offered Hope While Trump Scapegoated China for America’s Internal Decline
The World Economic Forum in Davos is increasingly becoming something of an old fashioned ‘boys club’, more intent on self-congratulatory statements than meaningful proposals and ideas which can move the world forward into the age of prosperity derived from respectful inter-connectivity.

Netanyahu Blames The Victim in Anti-Polish Tirade

The Emergence of International Terrorist Groups Has A Causal Relationship With Western Wars of Aggression
American and British diplomats thought Saddam Hussein spoke “with great warmth”, was “remarkable” and “pragmatic”. The United States may not have intentionally created ISIS, but the 2003 Iraq invasion laid the foundations for its emergence. Analysts such as Graham Fuller, a former CIA operations officer for 20 years, said the attack […]
Modern Asia’s “Win-Win” Model Has Averted War Between Turkey, Iran and Russia
The fall of the Russian Empire, more even than that of the Austro-Hungarian or German, was fundamentally the broadest cause of the Second World War. When Lenin forfeited vast swaths of territory in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, it set the stage for a myriad of ethno-nationalist conflicts in the areas from […]
While Greeks and Slavs Fight Over Macedonia’s Naming Rights–Albanian Terrorism Threatens An Entire Region
The Macedonian naming dispute between the Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Macedonia (aka the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), is back in the news due to the Premier of the FYROM Zoran Zaev and his Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras’ recent meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos. While many […]
A North Korean Murderer is Praised by The US, While Julian Assange’s Health Deteriorates
In November of 2017, a young man was seen racing from the DPRK to South Korea while soldiers fired at his vehicle. He completed the final stage of the escape on foot while still being shot at. The man who was later named as 24 year old Oh Chung-sung, was quickly […]
