Ruinous or Not, Washington Insists Europe Maintain Anti-Russian Sanctions

European economists have calculated that anti-Russian sanctions have cost European businesses a cool $60 billion in lost earnings between early 2014 and June 2015. Meanwhile, the White House has effectively told Europe that despite economic losses, Europeans should suck it up and continue to support the sanctions regime. Last week, US Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes told reporters that the White House is concerned that Russia may be trying to promote divisions within Europe, as well as divisive attitudes toward the United States. “There have been some efforts from Russia to essentially try to sow some discord or dissention within Europe,” Rhodes said, adding that Moscow has...

Terrorists smuggled into Europe amid refugee flow

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has admitted that some terrorists entered Europe among the wave of migrants that fled from Syria adding that the refugee flow was used in part to “smuggle terrorists” on to the continent. Speaking to supporters of her Christian Democrat Union party in eastern Germany, Merkel admitted that militant groups had smuggled jihadists among those genuinely looking to seek asylum in Europe. “In part, the refugee flow was even used to smuggle terrorists,” she said, as cited by Reuters. Merkel’s open-door policy, which was criticized by a significant section of the German population, saw more than...

Another Mass Shooting Just Took Place, ONE Reason You Didn’t Hear About It

After 5 police officers were killed and another 8 people injured in Dallas, Texas, all attention seems to be focused on just that. Unfortunately, another mass shooting just took place – and there’s only one reason you didn’t hear about this one. It all started during a fight between 37-year-old Lakeem Keon Scott and a white man in Bristol, Tennessee. Unhappy with the outcome of the ordeal, Scott later decided to get revenge, so he armed himself and headed out. According to police, Scott brought a rifle, pistol, and a large amount of ammunition to the local Days Inn motel...

Race baiter Obama doesn’t know true motive of Dallas shooter

President Barack Obama, who rushed to paint the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile at the hands of police as racially motivated, despite a lack of evidence, refused to do the same for the murder of five police officers in Dallas, despite an overabundance of evidence. “I think it’s very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter,” he said during a speech in Poland on Saturday, according to Breitbart. “As we’ve seen, in a whole range of incidents with mass shooters, they are, by definition, troubled. By definition, if you shoot people who pose no threat to you, strangers, you...

Meet the ‘Little People’: Those Punished for Far Less Than What Clinton Did

by Edwin Mora Several people have been punished for a similar or lesser offense than what Hillary Clinton is getting away with — being “extremely careless” in handling “very sensitive, highly classified information,” as FBI Director James Comey has said. In announcing that the FBI will not recommend charges in the Clinton email scandal, Comey appeared to suggest that if someone other than the Democratic presidential nominee mishandles classified information, that person would be punished. “To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences,” he conceded. “To...

NATO and US Agree to Deploy Military Forces Against Non-Existent Russian Threat

By Claire Bernish On Friday, NATO leaders agreed to the deployment of military forces to Eastern Europe to bolster Baltic states against the threat of Russian incursion. Following the launch of the Western alliance’s unprecedented military exercise known as Anakonda-16 — ten days of war games in Poland involving some 30,000 troops from over 20 NATO member nations — the announcement backs up posturing over supposed Russian aggression in the region. Anakonda-16 has been described as the largest military exercise since the Cold War — but Russian President Vladimir Putin has understandably perceived such moves as aggressive and a...

Obama plans major nuclear policy changes in his final months

By Josh Rogin The Obama administration is determined to use its final six months in office to take a series of executive actions to advance the nuclear agenda the president has advocated since his college days. It’s part of Obama’s late push to polish a foreign policy legacy that is plagued by challenges on several other fronts. President Obama announced his drive to reduce the role of nuclear weapons and eventually rid the world of them in his first major foreign policy speech, in Prague in 2009. In his first years, he achieved some successes, such as the New...
