50 döda och 50 skadade efter högerextrem terrorattack i Nya Zeeland.

A situation that has been going on for decades, and in which it seems like the only ‘best-case scenario’ would be a permanent state of Cold […]
Observers of developments in the Middle East have long taken it as a given that the United States and Israel are seeking for an excuse to attack Iran.

The other attack was the product of Russian intelligence efforts. Now, both governments are enjoying an "extra special relationship" with the Trump Crime Family and its loyal supporters and accomplices in the Republican Party.
In September 2001, the Bush administration launched the “Global War on Terror.” Though “global” has long since been dropped from the name, as it turns out, they weren’t kidding.
