The 2011 US attack on Libya to "save the people" from Gadaffi was an entirely manufactured narrative with Hillary Clinton's weaponized State Department, a chief author of the lies. Libya's population continues to suffer endless war and terrorism from a US intervention...
With a peace agreement between the US and the Taliban nearly completed, will President Trump be able to do what his two predecessors were unable to do - end the US military's 18 year war on Afghanistan? Neocons at home are screaming that we must stay, Trump has...
Trade war with US, Hong Kong protests showing no signs of slowing - is China on the verge of a collapse? If the collapse does come, what next? Are America's fingerprints on the protests, as China claims? Former Reagan Administration official and former Tune in to...
