China and Russia appear to be joining forces in order to pursue economic endeavors in Europe and Asia. If this happens, and it is likely that it will, what will happen to the United States?
The endless war with Iran
Now, thanks to Donald Trump’s impulsive militarism and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s more deliberate escalation strategy, this 40-year war is turning hot.

One Man’s War
Bringing Iraq to America
Breaking the Camouflage Wall of Silence
When AFRICOM evaluates itself, the news is grim.
