The split between the Republic of Korea on one side, and the United States and Japan on the other, has become glaringly apparent at the Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.
ROK President Moon Jae in has broken with Donald Trump and Shinzo Abe in pursuing direct outreach to the DPRK—the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, a.k.a. North Korea.
The US and Japan have responded with snubs, sitdowns, and calls for engagement to be abandoned after the Olympics and a return to an exclusive policy of harsh sanctions and coercion.

A small group of high-level bureaucrats within the State Department and the CIA has been sabotaging the Trump-Pence White House directive on efforts for the release of Pastor Andrew Brunson, who has been jailed in Turkey due to his alleged connection to Gulen Network's failed coup attempt in Turkey in 2016.
A senior-level Newsbud source currently with the State Department provided the following information on the condition of anonymity:

The FBI has thrown its weight behind the campaign to discredit alternative media as peddlers of Russian influence and disinformation.

Corporations rule the U.S. government. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the Pentagon, where corporate contractors have completely seized the basic functions of what were once inherently governmental occupations: Preparation for war and fighting war. Killing for state purposes is now in corporate hands.

Americans must be gluttons for punishment. If not, then what is their rationale for re-electing the same cast of misfits and losers to office each election cycle? Regardless of the party in power, Republican or Democrat, nothing in Washington ever seems to change. Admittedly, there are a handful of new names and faces that enter the political arena under the guise of accountability and change. Sadly, despite the conviction expressed by these newly minted legislators, it seems to be “business as usual” while the graft and corruption continues unimpinged.

It is widely believed throughout the diplomatic global community that the use of UN 'mediators' is often a very effective, sometimes necessary tool in order to resolve a dispute between two parties, usually between two countries. UN describes mediation as 'a voluntary process conducted confidentially in which a trained neutral person, known as a mediator, assists parties in working towards a negotiated agreement of a dispute or difference.'

During his State of the Union address, President Trump said he will keep the Guantánamo Bay detention camp in Cuba open. He also promised to fill it up with a raft of new abductees.
On January 30, Trump signed an executive order titled “Presidential Executive Order on Protecting America Through Lawful Detention of Terrorists.”

President Donald Trump and his generals are ready to use tactical nuclear weapons against North Korea and its hereditary leader, Kim Jung-un.
In early January, the Pentagon sent three B-2 Spirit strategic stealth bombers along with approximately 200 Airmen attached to the 509th Bomb Wing to the Andersen Air Force Base located on Guam in Micronesia in the western Pacific Ocean, according to Business Insider.

Amid the latest turmoil in Iran, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called French President Emmanuel Macron on January 2th to urge him to take immediate action against an exiled Iranian terrorist organization with a branch in Paris, which as he said, incites violent demonstrations in the country.

The Trump administration has finally clarified its stance on Syria—it plans to occupy portions of the country and remove its elected leader, Bashar al-Assad.
The former reason is, of course, predicated on the phony Islamic State threat, while the latter is based on the threadbare excuse the United States must prevent al-Assad from butchering his own people and, after all, Syrians deserve democracy American-style, even if the price is 500,000 dead men, women, and children.
