Few in the west will dare speak of Bikini Island, or the fact that China has recently been elevated to a status of a ‘national security threat’ in the United States. Still, whether or not they spoken of in mainstream discourse, they are real and happening now.
JP Sottile joins me in the first hour to discuss the recent airstrikes by the US, UK, and France in Syria. We discuss how this is nothing new for the Trump administration, and how in fact this latest airstrike comes almost on the anniversary of Trump’s earlier strike after the alleged use of chemical weapon.
