Scott talks to Antiwar.com News Editor Dave DeCamp about several of his latest articles. The two discuss the status of nuclear arms negotiations between the U.S. and Russia, the conflict between southern separatists and the Hadi government in Yemen, the Trump administration’s plans to allow the Israeli government to annex more of the West Bank, and a new round of sanctions on Syria. You can read all of DeCamp’s great work at news.antiwar.com and original.antiwar.com. Discussed on the show: “At Least 54 Killed as South Yemen Ceasefire Collapses in Abyan” (Antiwar.com) “Annexation could...
Esquire: EVEN! Lindsey Graham and Liz Cheney believe the latest claims against Russia by anonymous "intelligence officials" (we don't even get to know what agency). So you see right there!

Here the NYT counts 70 people suffocated to death by the cops in the last 10 years. Yes, more than half of them black. And almost all of them stopped for meaningless "offenses" against state edicts, like riding a bike without a light or failure to appear for a civil court case -- entirely innocent people. "I can't breathe."
The U.S.A. has broken in two as The Coasts and Flyover Country go to war over which new nation is more slavishly devoted to serving the state of Greater Israel.
You don't have to agree with him on everything, but he's a great writer and he's sure right about this bullshit. What you guys need is some good Sheldon Richman. Coming up!
