Interview by Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor, for Press TV The Trump administration is pushing the US war on Iran into high gear with these new ramped-up sanctions that are more extreme than just about any sanctions anyone has ever applied anywhere. These sanctions are now stopping basic medical equipment from getting into Iran such as the Mepilex dressings from Sweden that are used to treat wounds, serious wounds.

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum on Monday falsely claimed that absentee ballots from deceased voters rejected in Michigan’s August 4 primary were evidence of “intentional” fraud, ignoring the fact that the voters died after casting their ballot. Appearing on Fox News opinion panel show Outnumbered, MacCallum—an ostensible “hard news” anchor who will lead Fox’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention this week—discussed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling the House back to block changes at the United States Postal Service. This comes on the heels of President Donald Trump admitting he opposed funding to the post office because it would help facilitate […]
…from SouthFront.org The current geopolitical position of France is shaped by a variety of factors. As one of the key actors in the Mediterranean region, Paris is now primarily a European leader in countering Turkey’s expansionist policy. Relations between the two countries are complicated by the necessity to reckon with the activation of significant global processes, the destruction of the system of international law, the diminishing role of the Washington establishment in particular in the Mediterranean region and to a greater extent in the Middle East, while the influence of Turkey and Russia increases in the region. The changing balance of […]

President Donald Trump exhibited his new serious tone toward the coronavirus crisis on Monday night, sharing a viral video of fringe doctors touting the controversial anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as “a cure for COVID.” The video, which also featured the doctors dismissing mask-wearing, was eventually taken down by Facebook for “sharing false information” about the virus, after racking up millions of views in a matter of hours.
