Yes, There Is a World Zionist Congress – and It’s Meeting Now

Defense Sectary Visits Hawkish Atlantic Council to Announce US Troop Buildup on Russia Border
US Defense Secretary Mark Esper visited the notorious Atlantic Council, funded by a who’s who of weapons makers and despotic regimes, to announce that the US would not, indeed, be withdrawing troops from Germany but sending them to Russia’s border instead.
US’ Tibet coordinator ‘a vain try’
US’ Tibet coordinator ‘a vain try’
The appointment of Destro aims to play the Tibet card to save Trump’s presidency. It is useless to change the situation in Tibet, but only exposes the US’ attempt to use Tibet separatists to split China, which will be resented by the Chinese people, Zhu said.

Trump’s Peace Plan: How Far Would He Go?
Trump’s Peace Plan: How Far Would He Go?
Desperately chasing a single foreign policy accomplishment in the dying days before the election, Donald Trump is frantically pursuing a Middle East peace plan. Not the Israel/Palestine one he promised – in four years in office, that never came close – but the illusory peace plan between countries who were already at peace.
China Is a Challenge, But an Asian NATO Is Not the Answer
China Is a Challenge, But an Asian NATO Is Not the Answer
First, the US is not threatened militarily by China. No one imagines that a nonexistent Chinese carrier group is going to descend upon Hawaii, conquer the islands, and then head toward the West Coast. There is no evidence that the Chinese Communist Party has such ambitions. Anyway, Beijing would have little success even after an enormous military buildup. Such is the disparity in cost between projecting power across the Pacific and deterring such an attack. Which correspondingly limits Washington’s military options against the PRC.
At stake in East Asia is American influence rather than security. A challenge to the former is not unimportant but is very different than a military threat against the US proper. China poses no meaningful danger to America’s territory, population, prosperity, liberties, or constitutional order. Instead, Beijing is resisting Washington’s attempt to effectively impose the Monroe Doctrine in Asia, that is, to dominate the region up to China’s border.
Trump’s Quiet Little War in Somalia
Trump’s Quiet Little War in Somalia
Through the first seven months in 2020, the U.S. military under Pres. Donald Trump conducted 43 airstrikes in Somalia. That compares to 42 U.S. airstrikes in that country from 2007 to 2017. In other words, in just seven months, the Trump administration bombed Somalia more than Pres. G.W. Bush and Pres. Barack Obama combined.
