Yes, Lou Dobbs, Mueller is Engaged in a Jihad–and that’s a Good Thing

Are Conservatives United Enough to get up an Iran War?
Washington, DC (Foreign Policy in Focus) – Division in the ranks of the conservative movement is a critical sign that a war with Iran isn’t inevitable. Tucker Carlson has impeccable conservative credentials. He started out as a low-level staffer at the Heritage Foundation and now he hosts a popular show on Fox News. In between […]
Turkish Party Proposes Seizing Trump Towers to Retaliate for US Sanctions
The Turkish Press reports that the IYI Party is suggesting that the government seize the country’s Trump Towers and nationalize it. The threat shows the opposite of the emoluments problem– Trump is liable to economic blackmail because he refused to put his wealth in a blind trust. Turks are angered because the Trump administration placed […]
Trump and the Collapse of American Soft Power in the World
By Sara Greco | – Ottawa (The Conversation) – At the recent Helsinki summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the U.S. president used the threat of nuclear war to justify good relations with a bad regime, just as he did in Singapore.

Trump has Launched a Trade War with China: Why he will Lose
When I first reported from China in 1980, bicycles outnumbered cars on Beijing’s major streets, and the tallest building in town was a 25-story hotel. I visited a small village that had one black and white TV, which everyone watched at night. Today China’s major cities are jammed with modern factories, skyscrapers, and large public […]
Trump Disses Real NATO, now Wants Unrealistic Arab NATO
The Trump White House is again hoping for a summit of Gulf Arab leaders this fall, after the last one collapsed. The idea is to establish a Middle East Strategic Alliance against Iran.
