Arab rulers: When did you lose your dignity?
It’s high time to stand up for your people and protect their land!
PORTLAND - Persian Gulf Arabs, what are your unelected rulers scared of? They have put all their eggs in the US basket and are ineptly trying to protect their ill-gotten wealth and to cling onto power. Instead of subservience to neo-colonialists such as the US, they should stand tall and work only to benefit you and your future generations.

How Trump’s ‘drug war’ masks his drive for war against Venezuela
TEHRAN – In the choppy seas of international intrigue, truth can sink faster than a targeted vessel. When the U.S. military destroyed a 12-meter “flipper” speedboat off Venezuela, killing all 11 aboard, President Trump hailed it as a strike against “a Venezuelan criminal organization tied to Maduro.” Scratch the surface, though, and it looks less like justice than premeditated aggression.
