  • Russian campaign Interference looks like ISIL in Polarizing Techniques
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 02/17/2018 at 11:56 am

      if we let "dark money" into the electoral process, yes we may have or let foreign entities or goverments interfere in the political process.
      I was in Miam
      i for several days before the election, and was amazed at the amount of political advertisment between Ms. Clinton and Mr. Trump.; something that we do not see in south Texas since most of the time this area votes democrat. I do think that well managed advertisement, together with a lot of dark money got Mr. Trump elected, more than the intervention of foreign nationals.

  • Trump flip-flops on Afghanistan, opts for Years-long Quagmire
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 08/22/2017 at 11:31 am with 2 replies

      9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia (15) 2 from UAE, and one each from Egypt and Lebanon. None from Afghanistan.
      It is time to face reality, the Afghan people does not have any thing to do with this ordeal. It is sad not to recognize that we are killing and hurting inoccent people, while we do let enter our country people from the countries that did damage us in 9/11

  • Trump fires Bannon: Who are the Winners & Losers Globally?
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 08/19/2017 at 12:37 pm

      For China, Iran, North Korea and many problems with other countries, we do need intelligent and expert diplomats to handle all these situations. Ofensive military confrontations will not work. Even though Mr. Tillerson is a very intelligent man, He needs good and knowledgeable advisers to solve and get good results from the much needed negotiations.
      Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, and lately Afghanistan, Irak and Syria "results" tell us that military confrontation is not the solution.

  • The Millennial's Palace Coup in Saudi Arabia: How Dangerous?
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 06/21/2017 at 11:44 am with 1 replies

      Secretary of State Mr. Rex W Tillerson said that our policy towards Iran would be regime change; maybe this is the beginning of this ordeal.

  • Did Trump's Climate Disavowal just kill Capitalism?
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 06/03/2017 at 11:00 am

      what is needed is more public awareness to the climatic problem. Apparently all advertising done is in order to consume more fossil fuels. Big pick up trucks, big engine cars, more windows at new homes; all in order to increase your carbon print. What is needed is less not more utilization of fossil fuels. The problem is all of us, not only the governments.
      In Mexico city, its Congress bought several toyota prius for its members in order to consume less fuel and help with its terrible contamination. They are not used because the congressmen want to be driven back and forth to work in suburbans. That does not help at all. And watching t.v. you never see an hybrid car around the U S Congress but only big cars, suburbans, and painted black

  • Top 5 Ways Bill O'Reilly gave us Trump and cheapened America
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 04/20/2017 at 11:49 am

      Goebbeles, minister of propaganda under Hitler said that the best truth is the half truth; now we do have alternative facts

  • Washington's Supreme Hypocrisy on Chemical Weapons and Civilian Deaths
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 04/06/2017 at 10:31 am

      militarily speaking, why would you use a chemical device on a warehouse. wouldn't you use it on an enemy neighborhood, mosque, plaza, etc where people congregate if you want to inflict damage. Let an investigation take its course and find the real truth about this incident. Do not judge without it.

  • Top 4 Worst pieces of Climate News from WMO in Age of Trump
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 03/22/2017 at 11:48 am

      there is an article in the Atlantic about a Pleistocene park that is being created in Siberia to bring back and restore the Mammoth ecosystem in the grasslands below the artic circle. Rather interesting since it deals with the problem to maintain the permafrost frozen becuse if it thaws we are in big, big trouble.

  • US Goes to War with Houthis in Yemen (Openly)
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 10/13/2016 at 10:55 am

      we took the three radar stations in Yemen in order to protect the sea lanes. The reason about the attack, questionable, I still remember the golf of tonkin

  • Are ISIL's attacks the desperation of a Cornered Rat? The Kerry-McCaul Debate
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 06/30/2016 at 11:14 am

      most of the republicans voted for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. What is going on in the middle east, Libya and Europe is their creation, including Ms. Clinton. We need to get out of there fast. Apparently Mr. Obama will not get us out. We need a leader that get us out of there now. We are not going to impose our system of government on them.

  • The end of the Beginning: The Fall of ISIL in Fallujah
    • RAMIRO GONZALEZ 06/18/2016 at 11:39 am with 2 replies

      it is not sunni insurgency that will keep the struggle going, It is the financing support from the oil sunni gulf states that are keeping the flame going. Once you stop the financing, the insurgency is over.
