President Trump announced a full US embargo of Venezuela, with punishment for anyone of any nationality who “supports” the Maduro government. US sanctions are said to have been responsible for 40,000 deaths in the past two years. How many more will die from this “humanitarian” move?

One day after the Trump Administration announced it was getting out of the Reagan-era INF treaty, the new Pentagon chief said US would be sending missiles once banned by that treaty to Asia. Targeting China. Will an Asian arms race be stabilizing or destabilizing? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

Launched in 2007 as a force for good in Africa to fight terrorism and improve the humanitarian situation, the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) has by all measure failed in its mission despite spending billions.

The latest neocon scheme is to push US allies to send warships to join a US-led mission to keep the Strait of Hormuz “free and clear” for shipping. In reality it is a trigger for war. Thus far the US has no takers for this clear escalation. Will Bolton’s brigades begin peeling away EU hold-outs? The US is sending troops to Saudi Arabia and building up a massive airbase.

The media is reporting today that the US will send 500 troops to Saudi Arabia to confront the Iran “threat” to the region.
