Former Georgian Despot a Man Without a Country by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) In 2003, Washington’s color revolution elevated him to power illegitimately.

Georgia’s civil service was gutted. Business-friendly tax […]

Trump Heading Toward Confrontation with Iran? by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Trump, neocons in Washington, AIPAC, Netanyahu and likeminded Israeli hardliners are militantly opposed to Iran – for its sovereign independence and opposition to US/Israeli imperial aims.

The Phony Iranian Threat by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman) Washington invents threats to justify its unjustifiable imperial agenda. Israel operates the same way.
