Last October, in the home stretch of the US presidential campaign, Donald Trump told supporters at a rally in Atlanta that he was “not a Nazi”. He was reacting to comments by his former chief of staff, John Kelly, who said in an interview that during his first term in office, Trump more than once suggested that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler “did some good things”. Kelly said that after consulting a dictionary he concluded that Trump “certainly” met the definition of a fascist. Since the start of Trump’s second term as US president, comparisons between his administration and the Nazi...

After going back and editing, this post feels like Apocalypse Now's Captain Willard and his trip up the river that starts out OK and slowly but surely becomes a nightmare. I report; you decide: Press SecretaryAri Fleisher - Not as bad as most of this...

China has rebuked the United States for destabilizing global finance and leveraging the dollar's dominance as a geopolitical weapon, following President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on BRICS nations pursuing de-dollarization efforts. "The U.S. has long used its dollar hegemony to shift crises, spread U.S. inflation to other parts of the world, and made it become a geopolitical tool, which damages international economic and financial stability, and disrupts international order," Liu Pengyu, spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the U.S., told Newsweek.

NATO is developing mass evacuation and rescue plans in case of a future war with Russia, a senior general has declared. Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank, the head of NATO's logistics command, confirmed this week the security bloc is working to ensure it has the operational capability to extract large numbers of wounded troops from the front lines.

'The challenge will be...
