Nuclear strike threat? Tehran says US has no other means to ‘obliterate’ Iran FILE PHOTO: Mushroom cloud from nuclear weapons test on Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands in 1946 © Reuters/ US Library of Congress Follow RT onRT Blatantly threatening to launch a nuclear war against another country is not only illegal under international law, Iranian FM explained, but proves that President Trump does not think through the ramifications of his rhetoric. “There is a United Nations charter, and threat of wars is illegal,” Javad Zarif told CNN paraphrasing Article 2.4 of the UN Charter, a day after President Trump spoke menacingly about “obliterating” Iran if the ...

Lester Holt: Hello and welcome to the Democratic Party presidential debates, where tonight ten people will pretend to be much further to the left than they actually are so that normal human beings will like them. Savannah Guthrie: Our first question is for Senator Elizabeth Warren. Senator Warren, you have many plans for America. Many, many plans. Is this correct? Elizabeth Warren: Yes that is correct. I have many plans to make things better, and Americans must come together and work together as Americans to make America America. Savannah Guthrie: Thank you. Congressman O’Rourke, how do you feel about taxing the wealthy? Beto O’Rourke: Me gustaría informar a todos que ...
Majority Of U.S. Citizens Would Approve Preventive Nuclear Strike On North Korea

Today is the 69th anniversary of the Korea War. The war has not ended. It is the U.S. that rejects to sign a peace treaty. The continued state of war is the reason why North Korea acquired nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. To turn North Korea back into a non-nuclear state necessitates an end of the war, a peace treaty, and security guarantees. But could the U.S. be relied on even when a peace treaty is signed? Or is it inherently too bellicose to ever be trusted? When North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un will read this report, he will likely conclude that the later question must be answered in the affirmative: More than a third of Americans would support a preemptive ...

Originally published Apr 19, 2003 Historical Revision Outflanked One of the noteworthy features of the very late 20th and very early 21st centuries is the way in which everything that was once an historical accusation has become a defense. Thus, if on the evidence, FDR had a really good idea where the Japanese fleet was and where it was going in early December 1941, this is no longer a charge to be made against him, but is instead evidence of his farsighted statesmanship. He had to get us into World War II, by any means necessary, for our own good; it follows that this history of deceit and indirection is "justified" by its good consequences. If, on the evidence, the early ...
Rand Paul: Trump’s Antiwar Counterweight

The president called off airstrikes against Iran, and we have the Kentucky senator and Tucker Carlson to thank. The United States almost started a war with Iran only for President Donald Trump to change his mind at the last minute. Reports indicate that the usual suspect, National Security Adviser John Bolton, was the main advocate for airstrikes, with the backing of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and CIA head Gina Haspel, as well as encouragement from Senate war hawks Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton. Earlier on Thursday, responding to news that Iran had reportedly downed an unmanned American drone, Trump said, “Look, I said I want to get out of these endless wars, I campaigned on ...
Boxed In by Neocons and the Media, Will Trump Launch Iran War?

President Trump did the smart thing last week by calling off a US airstrike on Iran over the downing of an American spy drone near or within Iranian territorial waters. According to press reports, the president overruled virtually all his top advisors – Bolton, Pompeo, and Haspel – who all wanted another undeclared and unauthorized US war in the Middle East. Is Iran really the aggressive one? When you unilaterally pull out of an agreement that was reducing tensions and boosting trade; when you begin applying sanctions designed to completely destroy another country’s economy; when you position military assets right offshore of that country; when you threaten to destroy that ...

The real warmongers are the people who care less about human lives and more about clicks and sales of their reporting. John Bolton. Mike Pompeo. The US warmongering senators of the past and now. The late John McCain. American colonialists or imperialists. All of these people are no doubt getting absolutely lambasted today and in coming days as warmongers, in the news surrounding the apparent downing of an American Navy RQ-4A Global Hawk in the area near the Strait of Hormuz early Thursday morning, local time. The only problem is that they are not the real warmongers. The real warmongers are far, far worse than any of the named people above. President Trump’s name is not on the list ...

From the Tom Woods Letter: I don’t know if I’m being sentimental or what these days, but I’ve been thinking about oldies but goodies in the 1430 episodes of the Tom Woods Show. When I talked to Ron Paul about his new book The Revolution at Ten Years, I got some interesting answers to my questions. If you’re a longtime listener, you know my rule: I don’t ask Ron Paul questions he’s answered a million times before. So we discussed the Deep State, the possible release of JFK assassination files, the direction of the liberty movement without him in politics, and a lot more. At one point I asked him why the president wouldn’t do such-and-such. ...
Pause A Moment And Think About How Many People AREN’T Whistleblowing

Whistleblower Chelsea Manning is now being slammed with $500 fines for every single day that she remains imprisoned in contempt of court for refusing to testify in a secret grand jury against Julian Assange. Next month it will increase to $1,000 a day. Again, this is while Manning is also locked up in jail. It’s not enough to re-imprison a whistleblower who already served years of prison time, including nearly a year in solitary confinement, for taking a principled stand against an opaque and unjust grand jury system; they’re going to potentially ruin her life with crippling debt as well. The only way to make it more cruel and unusual would be to start waterboarding her or ...

The DoD calls it "Preparation of the Battlespace" Checkpoint Asia is an excellent new site by a former deputy editor of ours. Great news and commentary ranging from Russia, to China, to Imperial misadventures in the Middle East. Smart, incisive, and with an anti-Empire bent. Walrus has already started an engaging conversation on this subject. As someone deeply involved in the early development of DoD cyber operations, I wanted to add my two cents from a different angle. I am not as horrified by this development as many here are. But I am very uneasy with the apparent involvement of Bonkers Bolton. That creature is as dangerous as a malfunctioning Dalek.

Kevin O’Leary Shreds Bernie Sanders’ $15/hr Minimum Wage Platform Volume 90% By C. Douglas Golden Published June 15, 2019 at 12:48pm I don’t know if Sen. Bernie Sanders has an idea for an invention or a startup of any kind. He doesn’t seem the type, really; he’s a bit more into taxing those who do so that he can shower the people of America with all kinds of wonderful free stuff if he ends up ensconcing himself at 1600 Pennsylvania sometime soon. If the whole leader-of-the-free-world gig doesn’t work out, however, and he decides he’s going to go the inventor route and look for startup capital, I have one suggestion for him: Don’t try ...

The Downing of Malaysian Airlines MH17: Mahathir Opens a “Ukraine Political Pandora’s Box”

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad sent shock waves in a public speech where he dismissed a Dutch “official” report blaming Russia for the downing of Malaysia Air Flight 17 in July, 2014, weeks after a CIA-led coup toppled the elected President of Ukraine. Despite the downplaying in western mainstream media of the Malaysian leader’s comments, it is creating a major new potential embarrassment for ex-Vice President Joe Biden and his Ukraine collaborators such as Igor Kolomoisky, in their flimsy effort to blame Russia for their own misdeeds. During a dialogue with the Japanese Foreign Correspondent Club May 30, Mahathir challenged the Dutch government to provide ...

Obama 2.0: Biden Promises To Cure Cancer if Elected President Former Vice President Joe Biden is like a human wrecking ball. He has to be the most reckless, off-the-cuff candidate in recent history. The pundits may claim he’s a “gut politician,” but we all know the man cannot be trusted to speak words in front of other humans. Biden’s remarks at a campaign rally Tuesday in Ottumwa, Iowa were no exception. “I’ve worked so hard in my career, that I promise you, if I’m elected president you’re gonna see single most important thing that changes America, we’re going to cure cancer,” Biden said, according to the Washington Examiner.

Trump Admin’s Criminal Justice Reform ‘Overwhelmingly’ Helping Black Prisoners By Joe Saunders Published June 10, 2019 at 10:38am These are the kinds of numbers that give Democrats nightmares. With their hopes for defeating President Donald Trump in 2020 depending largely on turning out the black vote in its usual monolithic numbers, Democrats have been relentless in trying to paint the Trump administration as an unadulterated evil for African-Americans. But a report released this month by the U.S. Sentencing Commission just made that job many, many times harder. The report found that the First Step Act of 2018, a criminal sentencing reform bill passed by a ...

It cannot be emphasized too often: Russiagate—allegations that the American president has been compromised by the Kremlin, which may even have helped to put him in the White House—is the worst and (considering the lack of actual evidence) most fraudulent political scandal in American history. We have yet to calculate the damage Russsiagate has inflicted on America’s democratic institutions, including the presidency and the electoral process, and on domestic and foreign perceptions of American democracy, or on US-Russian relations at a critical moment when both sides, having “modernized” their nuclear weapons, are embarking on a new, more dangerous, and largely ...

He went on after further questions: "Well, the media reaction is strange. Normally the media would be interested in letting the sunshine in and finding out what the truth is.

Rand Paul (R-KY) slammed the intelligence community over a recent report claiming it defied an order from President Donald Trump to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan. A partial transcript is as follows: HOST BRIANNA KEILAR: I want to ask you, because you’ve been really a critic of John Brennan, who has been a critic of President Trump. You’ve not been a big fan of him. You’ve said that. He’s the former CIA director under President Obama. What do you think about this recent New York Times story that Brennan still has his security clearance? This was such a big, I guess, promise of the president’s, ...
Libertarians Forged an Alliance With Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Was It a Deal With the Devil?

Free market reformers and authoritarian nationalists battle it out to reshape Brazil. On the morning of March 14, 2016, in a tiny office in Rio de Janeiro, a libertarian businessman named Winston Ling met with Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing congressman running a longshot campaign to be president of Brazil. Some of Ling's closest associates had pleaded with him not to sit down with Bolsonaro, who was infamous for public comments praising torture and dictatorship and denigrating women and minorities. Just associating with him, they feared, would tarnish Brazil's libertarian movement, which was drawing new followers at an astounding pace and winning mainstream recognition. Three ...

Russia has been one of Maduro’s major supporters in its standoff with the U.S. MOSCOW—Russia has withdrawn key defense advisers from Venezuela, an embarrassment for President Nicolás Maduro as Moscow weighs the leader’s political and economic resilience against growing U.S. pressure. Russian state defense contractor Rostec, which has trained Venezuelan troops and advised on securing arms contracts, has cut its staff in Venezuela to just a few dozen, from about 1,000 at the height of cooperation between Moscow and Caracas several years ago, said a person close to the Russian defense ministry. The gradual pullout, which has escalated over the last several months, ...

West, a leading liberal activist, told the Washington Examiner for an article published Wednesday that Biden, who is leading the 2020 Democrat field in most national polls, is headed for serious trouble if he continues to defend a crime law he wrote in 1994. According to West, the former vice president can expect low turnout from ...
