Read MoreThe biggest obstacle Donald Trump is going to face in his upcoming negotiations with Kim Jong-un, is not Kim's unwillingness to abandon his nuclear weapons program, but resistance from powerful elements in the foreign policy establishment who will do everything they can to scuttle the agreement.

Read MoreThe United States has launched a three-pronged offensive on Russia. First, it's attacking Russia's economy via sanctions and oil-price manipulation.

Read MoreBrainwashed Americans believe that Kim Jong-un is responsible for the confrontation between Pyongyang and Washington, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Read MoreThe Democrats don't seem to understand that the Russia investigation has made Trump stronger not weaker.

Read MoreThe Russia Investigation shifts to Clinton's Political Rivals
The Russia-gate investigation has zeroed-in on Green Party presidential candidate, Jill Stein, proving that the probe is not an attempt to determine whether Russia meddled in the 2016 elections, but a crude weapon to bully the political rivals of Hillary Clinton and her dissolute allies in the national security bureaucracy.

That’s what...
Read MoreThe downing of a Syrian warplane by a US F-18 Super Hornet on Sunday proves that Washington’s real objective in Syria is not to defeat ISIS but to topple the government, carve up the country and install a puppet who will follow Washington’s directives.
