No U.S. President in recent history is as shameless in promoting himself as Donald J. Trump, or lies as much. And, no previous President has as shamefully trashed his predecessors in such shameful language so as to make most of the civilized World cringe. He amply displayed his utter lack of social graces when announcing the American pullout from the multi-country Iran Nuclear Deal. In his twisted mind Trump thinks that by denigrating the actions of the previous Presidents verbally, he lifts

On May 14, 2018, the graphic images streaming from Jerusalem and from Gaza showed two very different Worlds. One was of raw entitlement, privilege and power, and even claims of manifestation of Divine Prophecy, and the other, of abject squalor, hopelessness, desperate despair, and helplessness in the face of ruthless, merciless, purposeful maiming and death. As some in Israel and America celebrated the long awaited U.S. Embassy move to Jerusalem as the culmination of a dream come true, a wail

The two major foreign policy milestones coming up for the Trump administration that will impact the rest of the World, are the Iran Nuclear Agreement, known officially as the ‘Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and Trump’s threat to break it, and the North and South Korea Summit which will attempt to reach an consensus on the cessation of historic animosities between North and South Korea, and the USA, and the potential ‘complete de-nuclearization’ of the Korean Peninsula.

If the talks between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un actually take place, uncertainty being endemic to the relationship, considering the volatile and unpredictable nature of the two leaders, and the terms of the meeting not being clear, the outcome of that meeting if it happens will shape the power-equation that will shape South-East and Far-East Asia. The enmity between North Korea and the United States of America goes back to the early 1950s, when the intervention of American Armed Forces saved

One of Donald Trump’s interminable boasts has been that he hires only the very best. In actuality, the very start of his Presidency dispelled that myth forthwith as Trump started having to get rid of his early handpicked team including some of his most prominent campaign team members, and then those that survived into the Presidency itself, particularly his personal favorite the highly suspect and thoroughly tainted and intemperate National Security Advisor, Retd. General Mike Flynn. Since then

As an American President, Donald J. Trump is proving to be so unconventional, so outrageous in his behavior, so vindictive and destructive in some of his actions and words that it is not possible to find a suitable comparison in modern American history, even the famed misfit George W.

Recently in a news article on BBC* we were informed:: ‘an Iranian drone had flown into Israeli air space from Syria which Israel shot down’, then as additional retaliation to the drone being launched, an 8 plane bombing mission was carried out by Israel to attack ‘Iranian’ positions in Syria’ from where the drone was suspected to have been launched. During this bombing mission an Israeli warplane, an F-16 Fighter Jet, was shot down by Syrian anti-aircraft missile defences. The two pilots flying
