A great brouhaha has erupted in the U.S. presidential campaign over charges that Donald Trump is a Kremlin tool because of his desire for friendly relations with Russia. While he is being condemned from almost all quarters, even by those Democrats who in the past could be categorized as peaceniks, the strongest opposition comes from the neoconservatives, who are the most ardent in taking a hard line on Russia. A number of them are actively supporting Hillary Clinton after being allied with Republicans since Ronald Reagan ran for president in 1980. Now, the neocons are noted for being staunchly pro-Israel,…

As the new administration reassesses U.S. nuclear policy, it will be forced to make decisions about the future of the country’s ground-based, nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) arsenal.

Depuis plus d’un an, les ennemis de notre pays ont mis en application un plan connu par les experts sous le nom de «guerre de quatrième génération». L’ANP, en coordination avec l’ensemble des services de sécurité,…

It gives me no pleasure to say that I no longer recommend that young people join the military, and I’m not alone.

After failing to win a war in the last 20 years – and don’t say Syria, because the second President * woke up in the Oval Office wondering how he got there, more of our troops were heading back into the hellscape for reasons no one has bothered to articulate – the military has decided to target…
