    Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

    Sad to see hot it started and how it is ending. This happens when rebels don't unite and fight each other instead of their common enemy. If the rebels formed the FSA from the start, a unified army I am sure Russia would not have gotten involved as easily. Then again this infighting is a common...

    Yemeni rebel missile attack injures 26 at airport in Saudi Arabia

    This is pathetic, SA should mobilize 100,000 soldiers and invade Yemen, create a buffer zone between Houthis and SA border, and arm the Yemeni army really well. This is an open attack and invasion therefore SA has the legal right to declare war.

    ANGELA MERKEL IDENTIFIES U.S. AS GLOBAL RIVAL THAT, ALONG WITH CHINA AND RUSSIA, EUROPE MUST UNITE A

    Good I hope the EU doesn't let us in because Bosnian politicians don't know any better and are running to join blindly. In terms of other statements you made, yes the country has a lot of setback politically but it's fine, we are dealing with it, the haters can't do much but they are trying.

    ANGELA MERKEL IDENTIFIES U.S. AS GLOBAL RIVAL THAT, ALONG WITH CHINA AND RUSSIA, EUROPE MUST UNITE A

    That is what it may seem like, however there is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes such as common Defense, common Banking oversight and regulation, common Insurance regulation, common Border enforecment (FRONTEX), etc. all premature at the moment but are slowly growing. Add this to an...

    Donald Trump terminates preferential trade status for India

    Trade has to be equal and fair, if you restrict your market to the US and expect special treatment from the US, what the heck?

    These Americans fled the country to escape their giant student debt

    Having studied in the US, these people are losers and irresponsible outliers in society. There are many ways to get your school paid for if you do not qualify for a scholarship or grant ( of which billions are paid out each year). Further, most of the students take out loans to party while in...

    ANGELA MERKEL IDENTIFIES U.S. AS GLOBAL RIVAL THAT, ALONG WITH CHINA AND RUSSIA, EUROPE MUST UNITE A

    Meh, we can easily pull case studies from the past 800+ years of how Russia and European powers clashed, however the point is that they worked more together than fought, and they understand each other simply by being neighbors.

    ANGELA MERKEL IDENTIFIES U.S. AS GLOBAL RIVAL THAT, ALONG WITH CHINA AND RUSSIA, EUROPE MUST UNITE A

    I don't see where you misunderstood me, I noted that the EU can deal with Russia without the US presence with no problem through both economic, and realpolitik terms. Let's be honest here, The EU if it wanted to could mount a military force to keep Russia shaking for eternity. However, history...

    ANGELA MERKEL IDENTIFIES U.S. AS GLOBAL RIVAL THAT, ALONG WITH CHINA AND RUSSIA, EUROPE MUST UNITE A

    The Europeans dealt with powerful Russia for centuries, I think they understand each other quite well and understand each other's limits.

    ANGELA MERKEL IDENTIFIES U.S. AS GLOBAL RIVAL THAT, ALONG WITH CHINA AND RUSSIA, EUROPE MUST UNITE A

    I think the Russian threat is overestimated, the EU has the money, technology and man power to keep Russia in check if it wanted to. Furthermore, Russia needs the EU for economic reasons, it is their biggest market for oil and gas exports and they too understand that a stable Europe is good for...

    Trump considering replacing John Bolton: Report

    Yep- bolton is the reason we are seeing this hawkish foreign policy from DC. He did the same during the IRAQ war, I never liked the man and consider him to have the blood of IRAQ on his hands.

    WAR WITH IRAN FORTHCOMING? MOST EXPERTS SAY THEY DON’T THINK SO

    Let's be real here- if you know anything about US foreign policy tactics under the Trump administration you'll know that all of this is to pressure IRAN back to the negotiating table to re-negotiate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Trump indicated this was a bad deal numerous...

    Breaking coup attempt in Venezuela.

    It is not about oil, the US has enough of its own oil to use and then some. It is more about influence, Venezuela is countering US foreign policy objectives in the region, and opening the door to US's adversaries (i.e Cuba, Russia, etc.) and that is a no no especially in US's backyard. Good...
