Tell Trump to stop assiduously kissing MBS's backside. Saudi is the top sponsor of Islamic terrorism. Funny how all this talk about Islamic terrorism suddenly goes mum when Saudi is mentioned.
Trump wants the alt-right vote. Unfortunately he's not going to get it this time around -- once bitten, twice shy. The alt-right is gravitating towards Andrew Yang.
Neither is Grampa Bernie. Regardless, nothing will change. I remember the hysteria in 2008 over the utterly worthless Obama. As Emma Goldman pointed out, if voting could change anything, they'd have abolished the ballot box.
Not even stagnant. The purchasing power of the bottom 85% has been going down for decades. The reason this isn't discussed more widely is because of the credence given to the bogus inflation figures reported by the US government. I would argue that over the last quarter of a century, prices have...
No, that's not what I'm saying. Leave this cheap moralising about "evil" out of it: it just obscures the real forces at work. This is all about realpolitik and economic interests. China has its own interests as well: I think Venezuela owes them around $20-30 billion. If this US stooge becomes...
And if they have something the USA wants. Otherwise the USA is profoundly indifferent to what takes place within a country. Libya, Iraq, Venezuela. The sole exception would be Afghanistan but this was tied to broader geopolitical ambitions that encompassed the "Greater Middle East."
What's...
But is ISIS also involved in Venezuela? That is the question.
Also troubling is the similarity in appearance between Saddam and Maduro -- are they related?

Bolton is not a moron. One may disagree with his bellicose neo-con stance but he's not stupid. Bolton has spelt out what's involved for the US very clearly: access to Venezuelan oil reserves for US oil giants. Companies like Chevron and Halliburton are very interested and Chevron has operated in...
They're either industry shills or moronic laymen. But climate science would attract neither (and hence be like quantum electrodynamics) were it not for real world implications.
You're quite right. Which is why none of the politicians, states, big companies are willing to do anything about it. The most is ineffectual and symbolic measures like the Paris Agreement. It's the reason why Trump can't openly acknowledge the growing reality of accelerating climate change...
Macri does not matter. Argentina does not matter. And probably the G20 does not matter either. I suppose Trump had to attend out of courtesy. The G20 is just a waste of time and money. And holding it in BsAs, which is so out of the way for most attendees ....
She was a hopeless leader and she has contributed to the dissolution of the EU project. The "refugees" should never have been admitted. Europe has enough problems of its own. It can't cope with millions of unemployed and frankly unemployable "refugees" and the sharp rise in neo-fascist parties...
