The new measures are said to be a response to Russia’s alleged “aggressive actions.” The soon to be announced sanctions will be imposed on the Russian companies Haley claimed are involved with the Syrian chemical weapons program. “They will go directly to any... 

China opposes military action in Syria and instead urges diplomacy to solve the political crisis, according to a foreign ministry response in the wake of US-led airstrikes. US, UK and French jets launched airstrikes on Syria early Saturday after accusations that forces commanded by President Bashar Assad carried out a chemical attack in Douma last week. The Syrian government has denied using such... 

Somebody has some explaining to do… or did the Syrian airstrikes just ‘distract’ the citizenry from the reality surrounding the Skripal poisoning. Remember how we were told my the politicians (not the scientists) that a deadly Novichok nerve agent – produced by Russia – was used in the attempted assassination of the Skripals? Remember the 50 questions (here and here) we had surrounding the... 

Perhaps the most surprising news surrounding the US, British and French strike on Syria Saturday morning was the report that the country’s Air Defense Force managed to shoot down just shy of 70% of the Western cruise missiles launched.

China, produces a lot of cheap low quality stuff that you either use one time or just a couple times after they malfunction and end up thrown to garbage. With China producing the majority of stuff today, mostly carrying the label “Made in China” it is only normal and natural for China to take their garbage back. So basically Europe and America are getting double scammed by the Chinese,... 

Beijing is hiking up tariffs on more than 128 US imports, including fruit and pork, as part of a tit-for-tat response to US President Donald Trump’s $60 billion package of tariffs imposed against China.

It added that the measure, aimed at “safeguarding China’s... 

This summer the football World Cup will be held in Russia for the very first time – and the US and its closest allies are doing everything possible to ruin it. Sound familiar? In 1980, exactly the same thing happened when the Soviet Union hosted the Olympics for the first time and the US led a boycott. The more things change, the more they stay the same. 1980 is 38 years ago now, but the geopolitical... 

The US has threatened to re-evaluate its membership of the UN Human Rights Council, after it adopted five ‘biased’ anti-Israeli resolutions condemning its policies and calling on the world community to halt arms sales to Tel Aviv.

In a rare appearance AG Jeff Sessions actually uses mean words against California’s open border lunatics. However, talk is cheap and we should hope he will back up his words with actions that will supply us with an endless amount of liberal tears to drink. We’ll wait. Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday unloaded on California Democrats who push a “radical, open borders agenda,”...
