The only thing that explains this unprecedented snub is OPEC countries, no doubt at Russia’s urging, being hell-bent on showing that they no longer need the United States … for anything.

Unfortunately, President Jair Bolsonaro seems hell-bent on living up to his reputation as the “Trump of the Tropics.” Polls have consistently shown former president Luiz Inácio ‘Lula’ da Silva handily defeating him today – by double digits. Yet Bolsonaro has  spent the last few weeks whipping his supporters into a frenzy with Trumpian lies about… Read more.

Podcast Episode 90 Remember how the Taliban ran US forces out of their country last year? Well, imagine the ridicule if Biden had held a treaty-signing ceremony at the White House in Washington to annex regions of Afghanistan as the world was watching that humiliation unfold.
