An adviser to South Korea's leading presidential candidate says it would be "impossible" for his country to pay for a U.S. missile defense system, as President Trump has demanded. In an interview with Reuters Thursday, Trump said he wanted to make South Korea pay for the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system being installed in South Korea. The system is meant to shoot down any missiles fired at South Korea by its aggressive neighbor to the north. Trump estimated the system costs about $1 billion. "I informed South Korea it would be appropriate if they paid. It's a billion-dollar system," Trump said. "It's phenomenal, shoots missiles right ...

Trump Supports Terrorism by Stephen Lendman America is history’s greatest perpetrator of state-sponsored terrorism. Its so-called war on this scourge is a fabricated hoax. Its sordid record is longstanding, including: • genocidal war on Native Americans - continuing today against their culture and traditions;
• enslavement of Black Africans;
• its deplorable history of racism and Islamophobia - including mass incarceration of people of color and others most disadvantaged;
• its aggression against numerous independent governments for regime change; and
• support for groups like ISIS, Al Qaeda, and its Al Nusra ...

Tillerson Threatens North Korea by Stephen Lendman America favors bullying over responsible diplomatic outreach, lying over truth-telling, dominance over mutual cooperation, war over peace. Addressing Security Council members on Friday, Secretary of State Tillerson turned truth on its head, claiming years of US “well-intentioned diplomatic efforts to halt (North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile) programs have failed.” “It is only by first dismantling them that there can be peace, stability, and economic prosperity for all of Northeast Asia.” “With each successive detonation and missile test, North Korea pushes Northeast Asia and the world closer to ...

US Troops Deployed Along Syrian/Turkish Border by Stephen Lendman Hundreds of US forces operate illegally in Syrian territory without government permission. They’re allied with ISIS, Al Nusra, likeminded terrorists and Kurdish YPG fighters, supported by Pentagon terror-bombing of infrastructure and government sites - on the phony pretext of combatting ISIS America created and supports. According to an unnamed YPG source, “(w)e have discussed with the United States moves needed to be made to prevent the Turkish Armed Forces from potentially launching attacks against us.” “We have told the US that if Turkey attacks our troops once again, we will pull out of the Raqqa ...

April 28, 2017UNITED NATIONS—The Trump administration tried to unify world leaders behind a tougher approach toward North Korea on Friday, but risked finding itself more isolated amid stiff resistance from China and Russia, which accused the U.S. of ratcheting up tensions.Secretary of State Rex Tillerson convened the session of the United Nation Security Council and called for member states to increase sanctions on Pyongyang and suspend or downgrade diplomatic relations with Kim Jong Un’s regime.But in the contentious session, Chinese and Russian diplomats sought to shift the blame for the nuclear crisis to Washington.

China v. US on North Korea by Stephen Lendman On April 26, a Trump administration statement said he “aims to pressure North Korea into dismantling its nuclear, ballistic missile, and proliferation programs by tightening economic sanctions and pursuing diplomatic measures with our Allies and regional partners.” Instead of a military option, it said he seeks dialogue and diplomacy to achieve “peaceful denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.” Interviewed by Reuters on Thursday, his comments were disturbingly different, saying “(t)here is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea. Absolutely.” “We’d love to solve ...

Sypers... DAMASCUS: Another pathetic effort by Zionist ghetto rodents to demonstrate commitment to Jihadist allies fighting the Syrian people was exposed today as a complete failure. SyrPer has learned that the explosions were set off by Zionist aircraft flying over Occupied Palestine and firing missiles off-target. The missiles struck a fuel depot at the Marj Ruhayyil AB used for commercial and military aircraft. Other than a ball of fire, the attack accomplished next to nothing. Zionist liars offered the usual cocktail of inane explanations by describing the assault as one directed at HZB’s acquisition of new technology. That is, of course, ridiculous since Iran and Syria do not use ...

The most recent example involved a video broadcast on the Russian television program Vesti April 14. The article said Russia was increasing its electronic warfare capabilities and could wipe out the U.S. Navy with a single electronic bomb. The story was picked up and reported by the British tabloid the Sun and then by Fox News. The Vesti report included a false quote by retired Air Force Gen. Frank Gorenc, a former commander of U.S. Air Forces Europe. Gorenc told the European command he did not make the statement reported by the Russians. The story was also picked up by Russia's official TASS news agency and the state-run Sputnik. Earlier this month, another false news story was ...

A life-and-death struggle continues. Russia’s position remains firm. It’s committed to combat and defeat the scourge of terrorism.

‘No matter how many times the U.S. bombs us, no one bats an eye.’ These are the words of just one of millions of Iraqis who have died needlessly in America’s ongoing ‘War on Terror.’ The country’s endless war has figuratively and literally destroyed the lives of countless non-combatants. A resident carries the bodies of six people killed during fights between Iraq security forces and Islamic State on the western side of Mosul, Iraq, Friday, March 24, 2017. Residents of the Iraqi city's neighborhood known as Mosul Jidideh at the scene say that scores of residents are believed to have been killed by airstrikes that hit a cluster of homes in the area ...

Blaming Assad for US War Crimes in Syria by Stephen Lendman In September 2011, Paulo Pinheiro was appointed Chairman of a three-member International Commission of Inquiry for Syria (COI). Its mandate is investigating war crimes and human rights abuses - charged with blaming Syria for high crimes committed against its sovereignty and people. Pinheiro is a US imperial tool, wanting Assad held responsible for years of war ravaging the country. Syria was invaded by US-backed terrorists, supported by so-called coalition terror- bombing on the phony pretext of combating ISIS Washington created and supports. The main job of any leader is defending his or her country’s national ...

Senior Russian Foreign Ministry official in charge of non-proliferation and arms control Mikhail Ulyanov believes so, saying: “The major threat now is that Syrian militants have made certain they can use chemical ...

The Trump administration expects to confront Russia for supplying the Taliban with weapons and strategic support to undermine the American-led coalition in Afghanistan, senior military officials said Monday. Defense Secretary James Mattis said during a news conference in Kabul that the United States will "engage with Russia diplomatically" where possible, but hinted that action to challenge Russia may be necessary. "We're going to have to confront Russia where what they're doing is contrary to international law or denying the sovereignty of other countries," Mattis said. "For example, any weapons being funneled here from a foreign country would be a ...

Wars and rumors of wars have been dominating news cycles of late. No one should be surprised that there is a “former intelligence officer” subculture that is particularly noticeable in the Washington, DC, area. We stay in touch, communicate regularly, have lunches to discuss the “old days,” and sometimes organize to raise objections to some of the foreign follies pursued by the U.S. government. Though we often try to stay under the radar, making personal but discreet contact with sympathetic congressmen and journalists, we sometimes work together to get letters to the editor or articles placed in national publications. More rarely we appear on television or radio to ...

Mattis in Riyadh by Stephen Lendman In Riyadh last week, Defense Secretary Mattis said “Iran’s destabilizing influence in the Middle East would have to be overcome to end the conflict in Yemen, as the United States weighs increasing support” for Saudi Arabia’s war, in its third year, backed by Washington, according to Reuters. “(T)he bottom line is we are on the right path,” Mattis blustered. No Iranian destabilization exists anywhere. He suggested greater US involvement in escalating Yemen’s conflict, instead of responsible efforts to end it - taking steps to address what the UN calls the world’s severest humanitarian crisis.

East Asia Nuclear Roulette by Stephen Lendman The UN Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) warned about possible nuclear war, by design or accident, calling the risk highest since the end of the Cold War. Nine nations have nukes: America, Russia, China, Britain, France, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea. Given heightened world tensions, especially in East Asia, the Middle East, and US hostility toward multiple countries, possible nuclear war may be inevitable, perhaps just a matter of time. In 1982 testimony before Congress, founder of America’s nuclear navy Admiral Hyman Rickover said “(t)he lesson of history is when a war starts, every nation will ultimately use ...

The U.S. power grid appears to have been hit with multiple power outages affecting San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. The cause of the outage has not yet been made clear, though given the current geo-political climate it is not out of the question to suggest a cyber attack could be to blame. It has also been suggested that the current outages could be the result of a secretive nuclear/EMP drill by the federal government. As we have previously reported, the entire national power grid has been mapped by adversaries of the United States and it is believed that sleep trojans or malware may exist within the computer systems that maintain the grid. In a 2016 report it was noted that ...
