Trump, NATO and ‘Russian Aggression’

Hysteria is at fever pitch. After the NATO summit in Brussels, the definitive Decline of the West has been declared a done deal as President Trump gets ready to meet President Putin in Helsinki. It was Trump himself who stipulated that he wants to talk to Putin behind closed doors, face-to-face, without any aides and, in theory, spontaneously, after the...

When Will the Saudis Learn That Trump Is Toxic?

If the penny, or cent, has not dropped by now, it never will: Donald Trump presents a greater danger to his allies than he does to his foes. He imperils America as a world power.

The Globalist Elite Fears Peace, Wants War

EU Not Ending Greek Crisis, They End Greece

Iran’s Basij: The Reason Why Land or Civil War Inside Iran Is Impossible

Allow me to give a summary of my conversations with well-meaning Westerners since at least 9/11. Everyone: “Ramin, I’m so worried about Iran! I expect US troops to land in Tehran every time I turn on the news!” Me: “The Basij.” Everyone: “Ramin, the US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq – Iran is obviously next!” Me: “Yawn…the Basij.” Everyone: “Dubya Bush…no,...
