    Putin...again...and again.

    Post #61, Bob McKnight's Subscription Commentary Putin's shoes keep dropping with no end in sight. Vladimir Putin is a career spy. He was trained by the KGB. And he feels he is on a mission to restore Russia's pre-eminence in the world, particularly by attacking democracies. He started with his second election in 2012. His clandestine work chronology, since that election: 2015. French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drain said the Russians interfered with the French Electi

    War. 1,2,3.

    "Last month, Russian mercenaries attacked our troops in Syria. The US courageously fought back and hammered them. Putin denied everything. Trump said nothing. The Congress and NATO did nothing." Remember as kid the expression, "It is as easy as 1,2,3." Watching the world stage recently, the kid's expression came to mind. The way we are going, another war in the Middle East looks as easy as 1,2,3. Consider: America has long stood loyally in support of Israel. Putin snoo

    The Syria Attack

    With the swirling events in the World, I am often asked by friends and readers to help sift through the noise to establish an opinion of a new development. The surprise attack against Syria by President Donald Trump Friday night is one such example. Although the President indicated in advance his shock at the pictures of "beautiful Syrian babies" being gassed by their own President, his decision to strike Syria was still a surprise to most. As a matter of fact, even thoug

    The Smell Test on Russia

    With the President again praising Russian President Putin in an interview with FOX TV Reporter Bill O'Reilly recently, it prompted me to go back in my memory to what Trump has said about Putin and Russia from the beginning of his campaign. 1. With widespread rumors about Trump's financial ties to Russia at the start of the 2016 campaign, the President refused (and still refuses) to release his tax returns. Trump said he did not know Putin, even though he was recorded in a t

    "Who Ya Gonna Call?"

    I am pretty sure your response to this headline is going to be, "Ghostbusters!" Me too. But today, with the almost daily verbal clashes between President Trump and World leaders, it is an often asked question. Take the recent blow up between Trump and long time US ally Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. The American stepping in to help smooth things over, without invitation, was none other than American military hero, Senator John McCain (R., AZ). Most of us rem

    One Mistake, Many Disastrous Consequences

    In previous posts, I discussed the serious problems we have had with the War in Syria. As with all wars, it has been very deadly, often affecting innocent citizens in Syria. Reportedly, Syrian President Assad had previously even resorted to gassing his own people in the war. It appeared the United States was going to stand up to Assad under President Obama, saying the United States was drawing a 'red line' in the sand if chemical weapons were planned to be used by Assad ag
