Reports that South Korea is setting up a Special Forces unit numbering 2,000 men tasked with killing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the event of war comes directly after Kim Jong-un recent address that North Korea is close to having its first intercontinental ballistic missile (“ICBM”), which supposedly is to be tested over the course of this year.

Poland is fast becoming the launchpad for a NATO/US “first strike” against Russia.

As the US main stream media continues to push the “fake news” narrative about Russian hacker/Putin/Wikileaks connection, aimed at subverting the US election, or American democracy, or crushing Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign, or helping Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign…f**k it, I have lost track as to what the entire US establishment is claiming Russia did or sought to do with these mystery hacks.
