Yes, you would be correct. No one has accused Jill Stein of negotiating anything with Russia (as though they'd be interested) and the Logan Act does not forbid civilians from taking money from foreign governments (if she did).
Trump hoped this would go away if he did nothing. When it broke into the open with the WaPo story, he knew keeping Flynn would look worse than firing him. So buh-bye Mike. Trump didn't care at all about the underlying actions, since he was almost certainly party to them.
The structure you describe can be pretty stable for long periods of time. The top layer of the 99% is militarized and, in exchange for a few privileges granted by the 1%, suppresses the rest with savage violence. Everyone else is basically a serf.
This was the classic feudal order, and we see something similar in parts of Africa, South/Central America and elsewhere, with some complications due to globalization.
What is questionable is whether that social structure can be the basis of an industrial economy.
The "value of hard power in transforming the world?" After Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya? There's a word for people who can't learn from experience. It looks like this: STUPID.
Stop talking rubbish. With the possible exception of Brunei, Lesotho and maybe Swaziland, those "monarchs" have very little power. There is no comparison between them and the House of Saud, which rules Arabia with an iron fist.
Blair is one of the most disastrous politicians in modern British history. Not only did he jump on board Bush's Iraq fraud, but he also reduced the Labor Party to ruins.
Seems to me he should be pardoned. He wasn't working for a foreign power. Much of what he exposed was clearly illegal and we are better off knowing about it, even if we can't stop it. As far as I know, no one was harmed. Of course the national-security establishment hates him, but so what?
An excellent book, which has infuriated the right.
If the Russians were really hoping for warmer relations with the US, then fiddling with the election was a truly disastrous move.

Just as Nixon interfered with the Paris peace talks in 1968.
That would be something like covering up your failure to make your bed by setting the house on fire.
Pence comes out looking like a dope who swallowed Flynn's lies wholesale.

The white supremacists are worried about becoming a minority, not about "dying out."

Choose.
It's always pleasant to encounter a perfect exemplar of something: in this case, idiocy.
Neither the US nor Russia will go to the nukes over Syria. Think about it for 5 seconds.
There's no reason to think that. She's been slightly more hawkish than Obama, but the idea of nuking Iran is insane.
So what?

Same thing has happened to the Aral Sea.

How does Trump "clean out . . . the GOP"? Does he just wave a magic wand? Or will he make a "huge deal"?
So far, NATO is not involved in Syria or in the response to the Paris attacks. So what are you talking about?
As for your account of the motives for what is clearly a civil war, it is completely incredible.
Get off your high horse. There is no standard way of Anglicizing Arabic names.

You may be right, Juan, but "stewardship" is pretty clearly the only biblical hook on which a pope can hang an environmentalist agenda.
So are "liberal," "climate change," "social justice," and a hundred other things. Do we have to re-brand all of them too?
38% is substantially more than a third.
If we didn't live in a post-racial society, I might be tempted to think these fires had something to do with bigotry against black people.

So one the US's NATO allies is in effect in bed with IS, the New Civilizational Threat From the East. Peachy.
Tom Coburn is a well-known idiot.
Social intelligence is partly a matter of scale and time-horizon. Global warming appears to be too big and too slow for us to deal with collectively.
5 degrees C = 9 degrees F, so yes, in a way, "over 7."
