• [Sharing] The ‘shadow fleet’ tanker raid was pure theatre – Owen Matthews, The Spectator

• [Sharing] A Nobel for the Donald? – David Stockman, Antiwar.com

  Donald Trump doesn’t really deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Not after his unprovoked bombing of a country (Iran) that is no military threat whatsoever to the American Homeland.
