Russia, Insanity and the Treason that Wasn’t
Russia, Insanity and the Treason that Wasn’t It’s become clear to me U.S. politics is reaching a breaking point.

As TomDispatch’s Nick Turse has so vividly reported over the last decade, America’s previously “elite” Special Operations forces — once small, specially trained units in a large military — have now essentially become a military in their own right, all 70,000 of them (larger, […]
Putin Confronts The American Dystopia
Putin Confronts The American Dystopia We have to hand it to Putin. He is the best that there is.
