Biden’s Big Fail… the Russian Invasion Fantasy

© Andrew Harnik US President Joe Biden accused Russian leader Vladimir Putin of “wanting things he cannot get”.

Israel Bombs Syria, Syria Defends Itself, Israel Bombs Again “Self Defense”

In the early hours of Wednesday morning Israeli fighter jets reportedly launched missiles from the occupied Golan Heights towards Damascus, Syria. But what followed revealed the extent to which false Israel propaganda about “self defense” is perpetuated across Western media.

The Only Way The UAE Will Protect Itself Is Through Iran, Not US-Israeli Weapons

Following three separate drone and missile attacks on the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Abu Dhabi moves to secure more weapons from the West.

After a Year of Biden, Why Do We Still Have Trump’s Foreign Policy?
