Will Trump Withdraw from NATO? by Stephen Lendman It’s no more likely than the sun henceforth rising in the west once he’s inaugurated. Though calling NATO “obsolete” and “costing us a fortune,” he said “I don’t want to pull (America) out,” adding “I think the distribution of costs has to be changed.” “We’re paying disproportionately. It’s too much…(I)t’s a different world than it was when we originally conceived of the idea…(M)aybe we have to pay a lot less,” other countries more. “(I)t doesn’t really help us. It’s helping other countries.” The media are “so totally ...

Trump Picks General Michael Flynn As National Security Advisor by Stephen Lendman Media reports indicated Trump chose him. It’s unclear if he accepted. Likely so as otherwise consideration of him for the position would have been kept under wraps. We’ll know either way soon. The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (NSA) needs no Senate confirmation. Duties involve advising the president on national security issues - specifically domestic, foreign, and military policies, along with assuring cooperation between military branches and civilian intelligence agencies. The 1947 National Security Act established the National Security Council, the NSA its head, the ...

Interview with Rand Paul: ‘I Can’t Support Anybody to Be Our Secretary of State Who Didn’t Learn the Lesson of Iraq’For the libertarian-leaning senator, just about anybody would be better than John Bolton or Rudy Giuliani. Gage Skidmore/ZUMA Press/NewscomSen. Rand Paul implored President-Elect Donald Trump not to pick Rudy Giuliani or John Bolton to run the State Department and suggested he would be inclined to vote against their confirmation. In an interview with Reason, Paul described Bolton and Giuliani as representatives of "the most bellicose interventionist wing of any party" and the antithesis of the restrained foreign policy platform Trump ran on. The ...

Large-Scale Russian Anti-Terrorist Operation Launched in Syria by Stephen Lendman According to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, “(t)oday (November 15) at 10:30 and 11:00 we launched a large-scale operation against the positions of Islamic State and Al-Nusra in the provinces of Idlib and Homs.” “The main targets of the strikes are warehouses with ammunition, gatherings and terrorist training centers, as well as plants for the production of various kinds of weapons of mass destruction of the population.” “They are factories, not workshops, more specifically the plants for the production of all sorts of rather serious means of mass destruction. Clearly, this ...

EU Imposing More Illegal Sanctions on Syria by Stephen Lendman Sanctions on Syria since Obama’s naked aggression began hurt ordinary people most. Imposing them without Security Council authorization is illegal. Syria is being raped and destroyed, though contesting valiantly with vital Russia, Iranian and Hezbollah help. President Bashar al-Assad enjoys overwhelming support. Yet US-led Western propaganda viciously misportrays him as a brutal dictator. I support him and his liberating mission - to free his country from the scourge of US imperial lawlessness. On Monday, EU countries imposed sanctions on 17 Syrian ministers and its central bank governor, a meaningless vengeful action, ...

It reviews the Brotherhood's terrorist history and how it is banned ...

The US may have committed war crimes of torture, cruel treatment and rape, when it interrogate dozens of people in Afghanistan between 2003 and 2014, the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor said. © Mohammad Ismail International Criminal Court ‘about to probe US war crimes in Afghanistan’ – report The International Criminal Court's preliminary probe of the US armed forces and CIA activities in Afghanistan between 2003 and 2004 shows there to be a “reasonable basis to believe that, in the course of interrogating these detainees … members of the US armed forces and the US Central Intelligence Agency resorted to techniques amounting to the ...
US Troops Killed at Jordan Checkpoint Were Working for CIA

US Sees 'Possible Terror' Link to Shootings On November 4, Jordanian troops shot and killed three US special forces soldiers who were described as “military trainers” at the time. The troops were killed at a checkpoint at the al-Jafr Air Base, and Jordanian officials said they didn’t stop like they were supposed to. The situation is looking a lot more complicated now, with officials conceding that the US troops killed in the incident were actually working with the CIA in a program to train “moderate” rebels. Jordan is still insisting it was a simple checkpoint shootout gone wrong, one of those things that just happens at checkpoints. Instead of claiming ...

Will Trump Change US Imperial Policy? Hold the Cheers! by Stephen Lendman Trump won’t end US imperial wars. America’s military/industrial complex depends on them. Prioritizing global peace and stability would wreck its bottom line interests. Would he dare defy a far greater power than his own, perhaps assuring his demise if he rejects its demands? Don’t bank on it, but here’s a partial wish list for positive geopolitical change - if achieved would make his tenure historic: • better relations with Russia, China, Iran and Venezuela;
• halt color revolutions and wars for regime change;
• end the threat of Washington declaring war on ...

NYT Editors Promote US/Russia Confrontation by Stephen Lendman Times editors support US imperial ruthlessness. They oppose normalized relations with Russia. They urge unchanged hardline, militant, confrontational policies instead - wanting Trump to continue what neocons infesting Washington demand, Hillary their choice for president, not him. Times editors: “Among the first world leaders to congratulate President-elect Donald Trump was Vladimir Putin. And why shouldn’t he?” “Just when relations between Russia and the West are at their most precarious point since the Cold War, Mr. Trump has been Russia’s defender and the beneficiary of Moscow’s efforts to ...

Obama Orders Pentagon to Attack Al-Nusra? Hold the Cheers! by Stephen Lendman According to the Washington Post, Obama “ordered the Pentagon to find and kill the leaders of an al-Qaeda-linked group in Syria that the administration had largely ignored until now and that has been at the vanguard of the fight against the Syrian government, (unnamed) US officials said. Fact: His war on ISIS is phony. It’s destroying infrastructure and massacring civilians in Syria and Iraq - while pretending to be fighting terrorists, the elements America created and continues supporting in all countries where they’re deployed. WaPo: Obama is “concern(ed) that (al-Nusra) is turning parts ...
Massive Cyberattacks Hit Russian Banks Following An Explosion That Left 300,000 Without Power.

by Pamela Williams Moscow-based internet security giant Kaspersky said Thursday that massive cyberattacks were hitting five of Russia’s largest banks. Earlier several days ago, an explosion hit Russia’s electrical grid, and 300,000 Russian homes were without power. This is a bad thing to be happening after the US announcing the military had hacked into Russia’s electrical grid. I refuse to think that the US could be so stupid as to do something like this. I know there is another explanation. Also, in addition, a man was found dead at the Russian Consulate in New York several days ago. There are some strange things happening right now with Russia. Police are ...

Russian and Syrian Warplanes Strike US-Supported Terrorists’ Aleppo Supply Lines by Stephen Lendman According to AMN News, Russian warplanes launched airstrikes, targeting supply lines US- supported terrorists use in Aleppo and Idlib provinces - for replenishing their ranks along with providing their fighters with weapons, munitions and other material support. “Several Russian air battalions have been reportedly pounding the main jihadist supply road (M-5 Highway) from Idlib to Aleppo, inflicting heavy damage to a number of armored vehicles and militant bases,” AMN News explained. Weapons and munitions were destroyed. Kurdish-affiliated Hawar News reported terrorists ...

Russian Naval Battle Group Ready to Strike Terrorists in Aleppo Outskirts by Stephen Lendman Suspension of Russian and Syrian eastern Aleppo airstrikes on October 18 let US-supported terrorists in and around the city replenish their ranks, regroup, rearm, strengthen their defenses, and mobilize for continuing attacks, attempting to break through government military positions - so far unsuccessfully. According to Russia’s Defense Ministry, its Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier-led battle group arrived off Syria’s coast - intending attacks on terrorists in Aleppo’s outskirts, away from heavily populated civilian areas. Interfax quoted a Defense Ministry spokesman, saying ...

US-Dominated NATO Mobilizing for War on Russia? by Stephen Lendman Disquieting reports indicate up to 300,000 US-led combat troops deployed near Russia’s borders will be put on high alert, capable of waging war in weeks. Is Obama preparing for Hillary’s ascension to power, intending unthinkable war on Russia under her leadership, likely to go nuclear if launched? Moscow is justifiably concerned, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, saying US-led “actions undermine strategic stability and are forcing Russia to take reciprocal defensive measures, including some in the Western theatre.” NATO “has not abandoned attempts to dictate its will to other countries through ...

Election Day in America: Prelude to Doomsday? by Stephen Lendman A likely Hillary victory should terrify everyone. Her extreme anti-Russia militancy puts nuclear war on the table as a US option - maybe ordering it during her first year in office as Paul Craig Roberts warns. US relations with Russia under Putin are worse than any time since the Bolshevik revolution nearly 100 years ago, more dangerous than any time during the Cold War - certain to descend to new depths of darkness, tyranny, corporate favoritism, and preparedness for nuclear war under Hillary and neocon lunatics certain to infest her administration. Edward Herman calls her “the most dangerous person living in the ...

America’s Endless Political Season by Stephen Lendman Americans welcoming the end of another political season have it wrong. Fundraising, influence- peddling, deep-seated corruption, and preparing for the next election goes on. Days of postmortems will follow Tuesday’s results, maybe considerable disruption if Trump loses, as expected, and cries foul. In stump speeches, he called Tuesday’s presidential election rigged. Asked if he’ll accept the results, he said “I will look at it at the time. I’m not looking at anything now…What I’m saying is I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense.” “If you look at your voter rolls, ...
Another U.S. Massacre in Afghanistan

The latest massacre of many innocent people by U.S. forces in Afghanistan provides another demonstration as to why it is imperative that the American people stop deferring to the authority of the national security state and demand the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Afghanistan. In a war that has now gone on for 16 years, U.S. forces just killed at least 32 more civilians, many of whom were children. Another 25 people were wounded. Of course, this is on top of all the wedding parties, hospitals, and other victims of U.S. bombing attacks that have brought the death toll from U.S. interventionism in Afghanistan to more than 200,000, not to mention the wounded, maimed, ...

Voting for Hillary Supports Pure Evil by Stephen Lendman On the eve of arguably the most important election in US history, most Americans don’t understand the stakes involved. One issue dwarfs all others in importance - possible humanity threatening nuclear war under Hillary v. Trump’s sense enough to shun the unthinkable. One or the other will become America’s 45th president. Sadly, it won’t be Jill Stein, an anti-war, anti-corporate predation, ecosane true progressive, her agenda promising governance of, by and for everyone equitably. She’s the only presidential candidate warning about the risk of Hillary starting nuclear war with Russia. She doesn’t ...

Russia and Syria Resume Aleppo Area Aerial Operations by Stephen Lendman AMN News reported Syrian military sources warning eastern Aleppo civilians to distance themselves as far as possible from terrorists infesting areas where they’re located - ahead of a “wide-scale offensive.” They were urged to head for the nearest government checkpoint, if possible, Russia and Syria acting responsibly, wanting civilian casualties avoided - polar opposite how America and its rogue allies operate, considering them legitimate targets in their wars of aggression. On Sunday, AMN News said Russian warplanes resumed airstrikes against terrorists “over the western outskirts of ...

Latest Terrorist Offensive in Aleppo Repelled by Stephen Lendman According to Syrian MP Aref al-Tawil, America, its Western partners and rogue regional allies want Aleppo divided - so terrorists they support, falsely called “moderates,” can maintain control of eastern parts of the city to maintain pressure on Damascus. Their strategy is failing. Liberating Aleppo is just a matter of time. Freeing Idlib from its terrorist scourge is next. Russian and Syrian aerial operations over eastern Aleppo remain suspended, for how much longer remains to be seen. They continue elsewhere across western Syria, slowly ebbing the strength of US-supported terrorists. During Russia’s Friday ...
