(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — Last week, New Zealand – the world’s second most peaceful country and the world’s least corrupt country, according to a ranking released last year — hosted one of the world’s most notorious potential war criminals, and nobody batted an eye.

(AP Op-ed) — Last Thursday Donald Trump announced that John Bolton, a former official in George W. Bush’s administration and former ambassador to the UN, would be his new National Security Advisor.

(ANTIMEDIA) — As the Trump administration moves forward with its plan to impose tariffs on goods shipped into the U.S., like steel and aluminum, the term “trade war” is emerging in headlines across the media. Abandoning the principle of free trade marks a monumental shift in America’s stance towards the globalized economy and will undoubtedly come with severe repercussions. President Trump seems […]
(RPI Op-ed) — President Trump’s recent cabinet shake-up looks to be a real boost to hard-line militarism and neo-conservatism. If his nominees to head the State Department and CIA are confirmed, we may well have moved closer to war.
