With a historic summit between the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and the South Korean president Moon Jae-in, less than two weeks away, followed by a possible summit between Kim and Donald Trump – Japan has found itself left out of diplomatic circles amid scandals at home.
Abe’s popularity among Japanese hit an all-time low after two allegations of cronyism connected to the PM surfaced, including a discounted sale of public land that had links to his wife.
Decision-making takes time and energy. Succeeding at jobs with higher earning potential and flexibility requires you to have developed your decision-making ability. Without a habit of systems and frameworks upon which you can rely, you’ll find yourself exhausted and stressed out after a long day of decision making. When trying to compare courses of action or opportunities, use frameworks to understand how to proceed.
Establishment historians place great value on the use of primary source evidence. This is described as ‘Narrative Fixation’ by the …Continue reading →
Paul Ryan knows why he retired from Congress-- audit's not about teaching his sons, Charlie and Sam, to shoot bows and arrows. Randy Bryce is why Ryan is retiring from Congress. I've been trying for a decade to find a credible candidate to run against Ryan. The local Democratic elected officials in the district were all afraid... every one of them. Political cowards who were afraid to give up their jobs to run against Paul Ryan.

The single most important thing that happened Friday night when the US military on President Trump’s orders launched a wave of over 100 cruise missiles against Syria was that once again the US violated the most profound international law of war: initiating a war of aggression against a nation that posed no threat, imminent or otherwise, to the US or its allies.
Under President Donald Trump, the US has basically eliminated the only real international authority the UN used to have.
Somebody has some explaining to do... or did the Syrian airstrikes just "distract" the citizenry from the reality surrounding the Skripal poisoning.
Israel benefits from a strong military and even stronger allies, but analysts warn the state faces major challenges Al Jazeera – 17 April 2018 It appears Israelis have every reason to be in festive mood this week as they celebrate the 70th anniversary of their state’s founding.

It's not paranoid to believe that the most recent military bombing operation against the Syrian government is motivated in part by the desire to confront Russia.
Last Friday, the US, UK and France announced that their air forces and navies fired 105 missiles, targeting alleged ‘chemical weapons’ sites in Syria.
21WIRE associate editor Vanessa Beeley is on the ground in Syria reporting in the aftermath of the US-led missile strikes over the weekend. What’s the real story of the purported gas attack in Douma? How extensive was the damage from US missiles? What will happen with the OPCW investigation?
Only two weeks ago, US President Donald Trump announced that the US would be pulling its military out of Syria “very soon.” Many took this with a pinch of salt though, and for good reason.
Should the Trump administration follow through on a trade conflict with China, it would likely hurt political relations with Singapore and other Asean countries vested in growing economic ties to Beijing. It would also likely be a boon for China’s vision of a post-American regional order.
Despite European pleas to leave the JCPOA deal alone, Trump fully intends to alter or completely reneg. In addition to Trump’s desire to renegotiate or scrap the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, limiting Iran’s nuclear development program, Trump has added two anti-Iran hawks to his cabinet in recent months, including the addition of addition of Mike Pompeo as the new Secretary of State and John “bomb Iran” Bolton.
As one might imagine, and like most everyone else, I've been watching the developments in Syria, and the "West", with a great deal of…

Being a battlefield in the geopolitical game will hardly benefit the countries of the region. Lured into the NATO and EU, they risk becoming pawns in big powers’ games.
There is a certain bullishness in French circles these days, even if there was an initial attempt, with the Macron government, to calm matters down. The need to assert Gallic might in the face of brutality has again surfaced; and has a familiar ring to it. With Syria’s Bashar al-Assad getting more comfortable with military progress, officials in the United[Read More...]

In the wake of a recent air strike conducted by Israeli forces over Syria, and the “precision strike” conducted by a US-led coalition, the possibility of Russian air defense hardware falling into the hands of Assad’s government is a growing concern for the Jewish state.
Four years ago today, on April 15, 2014, John Judge died ~ or (as he would say) embarked on a new adventure. I miss him… I have become resigned to his absence, but I still crave his wise perspective.

(TIM) — On April 6, a coalition of consumer privacy organizations led by the Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, accusing Facebook of violating individual’s privacy via the company’s facial recognition practices.

Perhaps the first signs of his bravery were the fights he fought against bigger, tougher boys in the courtyard of the St. Petersburg building where he grew up.

America’s seven year regime change war on Syria has left nearly 13 million people displaced, and without a home.
Unfortunately, US UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has signaled that instead of simply disengaging from a disastrous policy in Syria, the United States plans on doubling down, by keeping occupation forces within Syria for the indefinite future.
The takeaway from James Comey’s ABC News interview is that he never should have been FBI director because he is completely partisan.
POTUS Trump’s mistake was that he waited to fire James Comey. He should have been fired immediately after Trump’s Inauguration Day.
Comey’s hero is James Clapper…a man who perjured himself by lying to Congress nearly five years ago.
Comey’s family are die hard Hillary fans, with his wife even working for the HRC campaign.
Following a US led strike on Syria’s capital, Damascus, and while staring down the barrel of a new round of sanctions against Russia, the Russian President Vladimir Putin, via a statement issued by the Kremlin, cautioned that any further military action against Syria by Western forces could further destabilize and “lead to chaos in international relations”.
(CN Op-ed) — We are now being told (and I assure you I am not making this up) that if the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons doesn’t find evidence that the Syrian government conducted a chemical weapons attack in Douma last week, it’s because Russia hid the evidence. “It is our understanding the Russians may […]

For a writer, any criticism of Israeli military action is a veritable "third-rail" in American politics. Touch that nerve and you’re open to charges of anti-Semitism or worse. Still, recent events in Gaza demand that some of us, at least, shed light on the plight of Palestinians. Let us begin with a thought experiment: imagine … Continue reading "American Empathy Gap: Massacres in Gaza and US Silence"
"Ten days ago, President Trump was saying ‘the United States should withdraw from Syria.’ We convinced him it was necessary to stay." Thus boasted French President Emmanuel Macron Saturday, adding, "We convinced him it was necessary to stay for the long term."

Over the weekend, President Trump celebrated firing more than 100 missiles into Syria by Tweeting, “Mission Accomplished!” They say if you cannot learn from history you are condemned to repeat it. So I guess we are repeating it. We all remember that “Mission Accomplished” was the banner behind then-President Bush as he gloated aboard a … Continue reading "Trump’s Disastrous Syria Attack"

Syrian forces have thwarted an attempted attack on the Shayrat air base in the Homs province that started early Tuesday morning. The Pentagon has denied responsibility for the attack but says that there are many players in the game. The attack came from Lebanese airspace leading many to believe that Israel could be the culprit. Israel, however, has refused to comment.

By Ramzy Baroud | MEMO | April 17, 2018 The term ‘media bias’ does not do justice to the western corporate media’s relationship with Israel and Palestine. The relationship is, indeed, far more profound than mere partiality. It is not ignorance, either. It is a calculated and long-term campaign, aimed at guarding Israel and demonizing […]
