Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The deluded, stupid, and/or lying, President of the United States, said, of the Ukraine war, on July 13th, that “Putin has already lost the war. … There is no possibility of him winning the war in Ukraine.

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) On July 14th, the great geostrategist Scott Ritter headlined at RT News “As NATO looks for answers to the Ukraine conflict, Poland seeks the nuclear option.

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) Ever since 1972, the U.S. has signed agreements with China that Taiwan is part of China and that U.S. won’t arm Taiwan or otherwise encourage Taiwan to separate from China.
