[on the release of a secret 1950s military plan to annihilate eastern Europe with atomic bombs - including Western Germany]

Obviously nothing at all has changed there. The US still views Russia more than it views its position in the world or its kind of use of nuclear weapons - they continue to upgrade them.

The [US] government only cares about keeping  the top 20 percent happy -- they always had and they always will --because those are the people who wield power.

According to new US government data, more than 30,000 Americans died from alcohol- induced causes last year, a rate not seen in at least 35 years.

Total annihilation of the world” is the mindset behind the US nuclear arsenal. The target list of US nuclear weapons from the 1950s is 'blood-curdling as it shows the terrifying behind the scenes of US foreign policy.

They apparently have turned around on a dime, for one reason and one reason only, and that is the effective military deterent, the credible military threat of what Russia is doing in Syria -- bombing day and night against the death squads that the US has put in place.

US sanctions on Iran have turned out to be a 
disaster for the United States itself as the 
Islamic Republic has developed a stronger 
relationship with Russia and China.

The US government is not telling Americans the real reason behind ISIL’s rise. The rise of the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group is the direct outgrowth of US policies which were meant to “terrorize and destabilize” the Middle East region. This kind of terrorism is the predictable outgrowth of deliberate planned result or the after-effect of a long-running campaign to terrorize and destabilize countries all over the world because the US doesn’t like its government and wants a more compliant regime to protect US economic and political interest.

The fact is that whatever they say about commandos and troops or boots on the ground is just complete nonsense,” Daniel Patrick Welch told Press TV on Tuesday.

The Pentagon statement about sending US Special Operations Forces to Syria to fight Daesh (ISIL) is an "outright lie" because Washington had these commandos on the ground since it started war against Syria.

Turkey's shooting down of a Russian fighter jet near the border between Syria and Turkey serves the interest of “sociopath” war hawks in Washington eager for a conflict with Moscow.

The US is trying to oppose and break the 
counter-US hegemony in the region by backing and funding terrorist groups. [the strikes in Syria  are a] typical CIA move... the US is not opposing terrorism but effecting a coup against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

[after Ukraine and NATO sign agreements on strengthening defense and technical cooperation]

It was an insane idea from the get-go. Can you imagine if the Soviet Union had sponsored a coup in Mexico and decided that Mexico should immediately join the Warsaw pact? ... It's an act of war.

The arrogance and the hypocrisy that drips from the mouths of US officials is truly astounding. US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and her ilk are delusional and in denial about the power of their never ending sanctions.

It's a clear and outright political stunt. It's aimed at blaming Russia for something that Russia didn't do. It's another in a long, long historial series of the US using the UN and all of its organs...to pursue its own geopolitical objectives.
