PEACE IN UKRAINE?

My book, “Proud to be American,” is on sale for $17.95 at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.  It’s a 330-page paperback with 70 articles in nine categories with 70 photos. This well-researched book clarifies numerous important National, International, and Domestic issues that Mainstream Media does not report on accurately or at all. Moreover, it has a provocative introduction and conclusion.

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, had 200,000 Russian troops invade Ukraine on three sides beginning on February 24, 2022.  Why did Putin invade Ukraine and what did he want? He has said that he really wanted assurances that Ukraine would never be admitted as a member of NATO.  The U.S. had told him that decision was up to NATO and Ukraine, not the United States, and also signed a November 10, 2021, agreement to protect Ukraine.  However, Putin also said that he wanted to reconstitute the former Soviet Union and allegedly had a military second only to the United States (so his threat needed to be taken seriously).  Moreover, Putin saw how a weak President Biden left behind in Afghanistan hundreds of Americans, tens of thousands of Afghans that assisted the U.S., $85 billion in military equipment, a huge military base close to China… and therefore could invade Ukraine without concern that the United States would intervene.

Ukrainians have been courageously and fiercely defending their country against overwhelming odds initially using American Javelin missiles to destroy Russian tanks and American Stinger missiles to destroy Russian helicopters and planes and then large numbers of drones that it continuously improved. In 1994, the U.S and Russia had guaranteed Ukraine that it would be protected if it gave up its nuclear weapons.  It unwisely gave them up and consequently made Ukraine much more vulnerable.  At the start of the war civilians were given weapons and taught how to make Molotov Cocktails.  Early in the war Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, rallied many countries in the world to assist Ukraine with weapons, cash, and volunteers to defend themselves against the Russian military.  The United States, however, was Ukraine’s largest defender.  Ukraine is still being slowly destroyed every day with constant artillery, missiles and bombs but Ukraine now has the upper hand with its drones destroying Russia’s energy facilities and killing many more Russian soldiers than Russia is killing Ukrainian soldiers.

President Biden had demonstrated weakness and incompetence, but also, in the time that Joe Biden had been President, a barrel of oil increased in price from about $40/barrel to about $100/barrel (but now the price of oil has retreated back to $80/barrel, up from $65 under Trump because of the Iranian war). $100-oil enriched Russia to the extent that it could afford to have Russia’s military attack Ukraine. $100-oil enabled Russian aggression due to: 1)Biden preventing any new leases on U.S. Federal lands for oil and gas exploration and drilling; 2)Biden stopping the Keystone and other oil and gas pipelines; 3)Biden stopping any oil and gas exploration and drilling in Alaska; 4)Biden significantly increasing fees for drilling on existing leases on Federal lands; 5)Biden stopping off-shore drilling; and, 6)Biden stopping fracking.  Although the rationale for President Biden’s actions were climate change, the world was not technologically ready to cease using fossil fuels.  It might be in about 40 years.  The U.S. had “jumped the gun” and paid the price in massive inflation as well as some of our adversaries, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, being enriched by the high price of oil.

CAN PEACE BE ACHIEVED?

If the United States began arming Ukraine when Russia began moving troops to the Ukraine border in April 2021, the war might have been prevented.  Now, a negotiated settlement is probably the most likely end of the war.  However, things could get a lot worse first, with poison gas and tactical nuclear weapons. It’s in everyone’s interests to end this war since hundreds of thousands Ukrainians and Russians have been killed as I write this post.  In addition, Ukraine is running out of fighters with old men and young teenagers joining the war.

Is peace even possible since Ukraine wants all of the Ukrainian land back and Russia wants to keep Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. It might be possible if each gets enough of what they want to compromise and strike a deal.  However, this is unacceptable to Ukraine…it wants all of its land back.  Moreover, it might be a very bad message to send to dictators, allowing Russia to keep their ill-gotten gains.  So what’s to be done?

The U.S. is coercing Ukraine and Russia to negotiate peace, most likely giving Russia some Ukrainian land.  The fastest and least provocative way to assist in ending this war is for the U.S. to become energy independent again, which it has done. This drove down the world price of oil at which point Russia will no longer be able to afford to continue the war. However, if Putin is not careful, Ukraine might end up defeating Russia and Putin might be assassinated.

ORIGIN OF IRAN’S TERRORIST GOVERNMENT & ITS PROXIES

Posted on by

For additional information about Iran

My book, “Proud to be American”, is on sale now at Amazon and also can be ordered from any bookstore for $17.95.  It’s a 330-page paperback with 70 of my best articles in nine categories and with 70 pictures.  It analyzes national, international, and domestic problems and critiques Mainstream Media and the far left of the Democrat Party.   #          #          #          # 

How did the current terrorist government get control of Iran and become a serious threat to the entire Middle East and the world?  That’s what this post is about, along with how the U.S. inadvertently facilitated this.

The Shah of Iran (Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi)
came into power in 1954. He was a good friend of the United States.  In 1964 he exiled radical Muslim  extremist, Ayatollah Khomeini.  Widely reported in the news  was that President Jimmy Carter persuaded/coerced the Shah to allow Khomeini to return to Iran.  The Shah complied and Khomeini returned in February 1979.The Shah then came to the United State in October 1979 for cancer treatments.  Shortly thereafter, while the Shah was still in the U.S., Khomeini led a revolution in Iran and overturned the Shah’s pro-western government.

The Khomeini government, as part of its revolution, subsequently held 52 hostages from the U,S. embassy in Iran for 444 days and only released them 30 minutes after President Ronald Reagan assumed office on January 20, 1981.  Iran began its terrorist activities by funding various client terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad.  It also began working on developing nuclear weapons as well as the missies capable of delivering warheads to its hated enemies, Israel (the “Little Satan”) and the United States (the “Big Satan”).

President Obama thought he could delay Iran’s nuclear ambitions and began negotiating with it and signed the “Iran nuclear deal” (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – “JCPOA”) with Iran in 2015, allegedly to delay it from developing a nuclear weapon.  It wasn’t a treaty because the Senate would not ratify it, but the “deal” cost the U.S. $150 billion and probably cost many lives because much of the money was used to fund Iran’s terrorist operations around the world.

When Donald Trump became President, his foreign policy advisors reviewed the deal and deemed it to be worse than worthless for many reasons, including: 1) no restrictions on the development of ballistic missiles, 2) no inspections allowed of military sites, 3) no cessation of proxy wars in the Middle East.  Trump gave Iran an opportunity to revise the agreement, but Iran refused and Trump consequently withdrew the U.S. from the deal in 2018 and also imposed sanctions on its sale of oil, keeping it poor and unable to fund any serious terrorist activities through its surrogates, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad.

When Joe Biden became President, he had negotiations re-started to get the U.S. back into the original agreement.  The new negotiations, however, appeared worse than the first, with Russia negotiating on behalf of the the United States and offering even more billions to Iran, in addition to removing the sanctions imposed by President Trump.  The short expiration dates in the deal remained the same as the original deal even though 7 years had elapsed since that deal was made (2015). In addition, the Biden Administration was eager to enter into the disastrous deal with Iran which says in order to delay its development of a nuclear bomb. However, Iran has cheated and hid some of its nuclear sites under the former deal and continued to develop missiles that could reach the United States.  I believe former president, Trump, had the right idea in keeping Iran poor with sanctions so it could not afford to sponsor many of its terrorist activities around the world nor develop a nuclear bomb or ICBMs.

This absurd “deal” was bad for the United States, Israel, and world peace and thankfully is now dead.  However, Iran can still produce nuclear bombs very quickly and the billions of dollars it made from the U.S. not enforcing the sanctions on its sale of oil has put it financially “back-on-its-feet” and now fully capable of funding large-scale terrorism once again (Iran sold 400,000 barrels/day of oil in 2020, 3 million barrels/day in 2023 and has made $40by-$80 billions of dollars from its sale of that oil, enabling it to fund the vicious 10/7/23 attack by Hamas on 1,400 mostly Israeli citizens).

CONCLUSION

Iran is the chief sponsor of terrorism in many countries.  Giving them billions of dollars facilitates this.  Iran currently sells missile-firing drones to Russia, which is using them in its war against Ukraine.  Moreover, it funds middle-eastern terrorist organizations such as Hamas, which on October 7, 2023, tortured and slaughtered 1,400 Israeli citizens and 32 Americans, as well as 232 hostages.  At government-sponsored rallies in Iran (and even on American college campuses), “Death to America” is chanted.  Iran has missiles capable of reaching its hated enemy, Israel and soon the United States as well.  Most Iranians are good people and many are even pro-western, much different that the fanatical leaders of the Iranian government.  Any funds the U.S. gives to Iran or money that Iran makes from the U.S. not enforcing its oil sanctions, is used to develop missiles that will be used against Israel and the U.S.

On October 18, 2023, President Joseph Biden, during his visit to Israel in the middle of war, gave a $100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars) for Palestinian humanitarian relief, almost all of it will surely end up in the hands of Hamas who controls Gaza, and will fund terrorist activities in the Middle East. God help Israel, the Palestinians, and the United States!

On June 22, 2025, the U.S. military destroyed most of Iran nuclear facilities with its bunker-buster bombs in its Operation Midnight Hammer.  On February 28, 2026, the US and Israel began its war on Iran in Operation Epic Fury, destroying its nuclear and missile infrastructure, its navy, air force, and leadership.

COULD NORTH KOREA DESTROY THE U.S.?

Posted on by

My book, “Proud to be American,” is available at Amazon or can be ordered from any bookstore for $16.95.  It’s a 300-page paperback book with 68 articles in 9 categories and with 70 pictures.  My book analyzes national, international, and domestic problems and also critiques Mainstream Media and the far left of the Democrat Party. #   #   #   #

North Korea (NOKO) currently has three satellites circling the earth, possibly containing a super-EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) weapon.  NOKO also has dozens of submarines and at least a dozen intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of reaching America.  How did NOKO develop an EMP nuclear bomb?  NOKO (accidentally?) received EMP technology from Russia around 2004 and its nuclear tests have the signature of EMPs. Moreover, NOKO in January ’22 alone tested seven missiles, including hypersonic missiles, and many more since then.

Could the United States go from being the world’s only superpower to being impoverished, like most previous great powers through the ages?  Anything is possible, but I believe that an Electric Magnetic Pulse (EMP) would seriously cripple the United States unless the U.S. hardens its electric generation and transmission infra-structure (at a cost of at least about $4 billion).

If you saw a relatively recent version of the movie, “Godzilla,” you know a little about what EMPs can do.  EMPs are one of the greatest threats to the United States today and have even been caused naturally in the past, and are likely how the U.S. might be destroyed by NOKO, China, Russia, etc. with 90% of our population starving to death the first year following a major EMP attack.

If what I say is true, why haven’t you heard of it?  What are EMPs?  And is there anything that can be done to protect the United States from them, both those caused by nature and those caused by our enemies and terrorists?

Electro-Magnetic Pulses can be caused naturally by Solar Sun Spots and Flares or by people using nuclear bombs exploded high above the ground.  A lightning strike is a small EMP.  There were EMP’s in 1859, when there was little electricity in use, and therefore just telegraphs were affected; in 1989, in Quebec; and a near-miss in 2012 when the earth was just missed by a major coronal ejection of the Sun that would have devastated the earth’s electronics.

A nuclear bomb detonated high over the U.S. could cause EMPs of such magnitude that all electronics (in phones, computers, autos, TVs, radios, etc.) would be “fried” and the U.S. would revert to stone-age existence with 90% of Americans dead within one year from starvation and people killing each other over food.  Because the U.S. has submarines with nuclear weapons on rockets, the U.S. can retaliate against aggressors, but some religious terrorists (like those in Iran) don’t care about retaliation.  In addition, to be effective in creating an EMP, a nuclear bomb would have to be detonated at least 25 miles above the earth, about in the middle of the United States.  Getting there undetected should be difficult, unless a “lost” plane gets into terrorist hands (and therefore could be disguised and used to carry a nuclear bomb above 25,000 feet altitude).

The effort by the Federal government to harden facilities in the U. S. from an EMP attack was reported by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on September 3, 2020, and titled, “Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Program Status Report”. Take this threat seriously!

WILL CHINA OVERTAKE AMERICA?

Posted on by

My book, “Proud to be American,” is on sale for $16.95 at Amazon and can also be ordered at most book stores. It’s a paperback book with 68 articles in 9 categories and contains 70 pictures. The book analyzes national, international and domestic problems and also critiques Main Stream Media and the far-left of the Democrat Party. 

Prior to China being admitted to the World Trade Organization (WTO), it simply had blind ambition, as well as big plans (see Michael Pillsbury’s book, “The Hundred-Year Marathon”), but after becoming a member in 2001 with all of its trade advantages, China grew very rapidly to the extent that its annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 2/3rd that of the United States (20 trillion vs. 30 trillion).  With its l China now has the financial resources to continue building a world-class military, and is in the process of  attempting to surpass the United States as the world’s number one superpower. In October of 2021, China demonstrated its hypersonic missile which is so fast and maneuverable and flies so close to the ground that it can’t be shot down by our current anti-ballistic missile system.  This, of course, means that China now has a first strike capability which is catastrophic for the West when it puts nuclear warheads on its supersonic missiles. The U.S. is playing “catch-up” with hypersonic missiles.

Aside from its large military build-up, China has already surpassed the U. S. in manufacturing and exports to the extent that many countries, including America, are now dependent on China for basic commodities, including numerous medicines.  In addition, it has engaged in many nefarious activities, such as developing covid-19 in its Wuhan Virology lab and not giving a “heads-up” about it to the world when it “escaped”.  Moreover, it has enslaved about a million Uyghurs, an Islamic group that live in northwest China in Xinjiang Province.  Also, it was instrumental in stealing the 2020 Presidential election because President Trump imposed hundreds of billions in tariffs and feared he would thwart China’s ambition of overtaking the U.S. as the world’s superpower.

China’s huge telecommunications company, Huawei, helped develop the world’s first  5G (fifth generation) communications network. This is important because other countries will follow the 5G leader, and 5G doesn’t simply allow you to download much faster, it would enable autonomous cities and appliances and the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) to spy on everyone. Fortunately, President Trump has issued many Executive Orders, and garnered the funds and people to keep America ahead of China in artificial intelligence.

China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” had about 150 countries participating as of May 2025.  It provides financial assistance for railways, ports, highways, airports, pipelines and information networks.  It is entrapping many countries in unsustainable debt and is promoting China’s interests.  This initiative is not being done from a desire to help other countries, but instead to ingratiate countries to China so they will comply with its wishes.

I believe it’s clear that China might overtake the United States someday, and when it does, the U.S. and the world will be worse off.  What can be done to prevent this?  Many things, but they all have one thing in common: they require someone at the helm, in charge, who recognizes the threat and is tough enough to stand up to China and then do what is necessary for America to successfully compete with it.  I’m talking about former President Trump, who has already stood up to China with tariffs and other significant actions.  China is frightened of Trump.  They can’t bully him. The U.S. needs him.  See Newt Gingrich’s book, Trump vs. China.  Donald Trump is the “Big Dog” but he’s America’s Big Dog and the U.S. needs him.

WHY PUTIN & RUSSIA RESPECT PRESIDENT TRUMP

Posted on by

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

My book, “Proud to be American”, is on sale for $16.95 at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It contains 68 articles in nine categories with 70 photos.  It has a provocative introduction and conclusion and provides many analyses that you cannot get from Mainstream Media.

Why in the world would Vladimir Putin be a Trumpster?  Putin used to want a weak America, an appeaser! Trump obviously is not a weak leader so why does Putin like Donald Trump being President of the United State s?  I believe that China is part of the answer to that question and Trump’s assertive, “take-charge” personality is the other part.  China is on the move.  Until recently, its economy routinely grew at about 10%/year.  Its military is expanding exponentially and China has nuclear weapons.  It also has approximately 1.3 billion people, about 4 times t population of the United States (Russia’s population is 143 million).  On the other hand, Russia and China share a border of thousands of miles,  Mother Russia needs a big, strong friend in the event its neighbor to the south becomes aggressive towards it, which China’s phenomenal military build-up makes a distinct possibility.  Moreover, China is concerned about Russia, especially after the Russian militarily annexed Crimea.  President Trump is making the U.S. very strong again which I believe Putin believes he might need at some point, a very strong America, to counter a Chinese threat to Russia.  On the other hand, Kamala Harris’ base (her voters) would not have allowed her to strengthen the military, even if she wanted to do just that.  To place each country in perspective, it’s important to know where each country stands insofar as military spending.  Here’s the stats on annual military spending (for 2024) by the three players:  U.S.: $824 billion;  China, $471 billion; Russia, $140 billion.

When you look on the globe at military conflicts around the world, the common denominator is conflict between countries that share a common border.  Russia and China share about 3,000 miles of border, therefore, even though the U.S. and Russia have not been friends in the past, they now share a common cause (fear of China) which I believe is causing Russia to want closer ties with a strong United States and to keep China a friend rather than an enemy.

While both Russia and China are communist countries and they both have been behaving aggressively (China by building islands in the South China Sea and placing military installations on them),  they have had disputes over their common border.  Beginning March 2, 1969, border skirmishes began and lasted for months with thousands killed.  In the early seventies, President Nixon visited and befriended China to counter the Soviet Russian threat.  It worked and from then until now, China and the United States, though competing economically, were on relatively good terms.  Russia, on the other hand, has been an adversary until recently.  President Trump knows that, so when he compliments Putin by saying that he is a strong leader, he means that he puts his country first, which is what President Trump also does for America.  President Trump and President Putin get along very well because they understand each other..  If their relationship grows even stronger, both the U.S. and Russia will be a lot better off, as well as Ukraine, Europe, and the world.

ISRAEL AND PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Posted on by

Daniel Mariaschin, Executive Vice-President, B’nai B’rith International

My book, “Proud to be American” is on sale now for $16.95 from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The 300-page paperback book contains 68 of my best articles and 70 photos in 68 categories in addition to a provocative introduction and conclusion.

In light of the terrorist Iranian proxy, Hamas, killing 1400 Israelis and taking over 200 people hostage on October 7, 2023, I decided to air again one of my still-timely interviews with insightful Daniel Mariaschin, Executive Vice-president of B’nai B’rith International (25-minute audio of interview follows at the bottom of this introduction…click on the blue “play” button) because Israel and the Middle East are still in conflict with no end in sight and Mr. Mariaschin held the position, skills and experiences that enabled him to have keen insight and perception into the issues surrounding this ongoing tragedy.

While I interviewed Mr. Mariaschin years ago, almost everything we discussed is relevant to the situation today and therefore is still valuable.   At the time of my interview, Daniel Mariaschin had been working for B’nai B’rith for 24 years but had worked in the Jewish community in Jewish organizations for an additional 15 years, for a total of 39 years.  He holds an undergraduate degree in history from Columbia University and a graduate degree in Jewish studies from Brandeis University.  Mr. Mariaschin was born in the New York-New Jersey area and grew up in New Hampshire.  At the time of my interview, he was the Executive Vice President of B’nai B’rith International and the Director of B’nai B’rith’s Center for Human Rights and Public Policy.

The interview focuses on Israel and peace in the Middle East.  Because of his experience in foreign affairs, national defense, Israel, and articles he’s written for the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times, the Chicago Tribune, the  Los Angeles Times, Newsday, and others, he has demonstrated that he knows what he’s talking about.

In the interview, Mr. Mariaschin discusses many aspects of:

  1. Israel and the Middle East, including insights into Hamas.
  2. The  prospects for peace
  3. The growing Iranian threat including its nuclear reactor in Bushere
  4. The “ground zero” mosque, life in Israel
  5. The book on Israel, Start-up Nation,
  6. The origins and mission of B’nai B’rith, and more.

CHAOTIC EVACUATION FROM AFGHANISTAN

Posted on by

For more detailed information…

There was detailed coverage of the disaster in Afghanistan, however, most people couldn’t spend much time following the events, so I  kept track of all of the significant happenings, as listed below:

  1. In April of 2021 President Biden announced that the U.S. departure from Afghanistan would not be “conditions-based,” which was the cornerstone of the agreement the Trump Administration made with the enemy, the Taliban.  The “conditions-based” provision in the agreement made the Taliban very compliant because it wanted the US to leave Afghanistan ASAP (as soon as possible).  Consequently, there were no American soldiers killed by the Taliban for the previous 18 months.
  2. President Biden changed the May 1, 2021, departure date to August 31, 2021 which is significant because  it is the “fighting season” when the Taliban returns to Afghanistan from Pakistan where they spend the winter.  In other words, President Biden changed the departure date to the middle of the Taliban “fighting season” and did it so that he could boast this on the upcoming 9/11 anniversary.
  3. Against the advice of his military advisors, President Biden ordered the US military to leave before the civilians had departed and the billions of dollars worth of expensive bases and buildings (including our Embassy in Kabul) secured and the planes, helicopters, weapons, etc. returned to the US.  Instead, the military was ordered out first, $85 billion in military equipment abandoned, and our seven military bases abandoned, relinquishing our military capability from preventing the Taliban from hurting Americans and killing many of our Afghan interpreters, drivers, etc. .
  4. As of 8/26/21 there were still about 1-4,000 Americans and tens of thousands of Afghani interpreters and helpers in Afghanistan.  Most Americans should have been able to eventually get out by August 31 but not most of our Afghani allies since the Taliban went door-to-door searching for them.
  5. As of 8/26 France, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands had retrieved their citizens from Afghanistan.  The US had not, but has instead had told everyone to get to the Hamid Karzai airport in Kabul though it was surrounded by the Taliban who were denying access to many.  On August 26 a suicide bomber killed 13 U.S. soldiers and over 100 Afghanis around the perimeter of the airport.
  6. China and Russia, working with the Taliban, reverse-engineered our Black Hawk helicopters and our other American military equipment, in order to copy it.
  7. Though President Biden blamed the Afghan military for not fighting, over 54,000 have been killed by the Taliban in the last few years defending their country. They began deserting in large numbers only after we abandoned our military bases, knowing that the
    U.S. could not provide air cover for their military operations.
  8. President Biden did not even notify, let alone consult with, the leaders of other countries that had troops in Afghanistan prior to his decision to depart.
  9. Our adversaries, like Russia and China, were emboldened, which was very bad for Taiwan and Ukraine.
  10. President Biden stopped all flights with Americans and allies from Kabul airport on August 31.

Weakness invites aggression. After this fiasco, China took over Hong Kong and began seriously threatening Taiwan, Russia invaded Ukraine, and North Korea speeded up its development and testing of missiles that could reach the United States.

SINGAPORE: KIM JONG UN and PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKE PEACE

Posted on by

North Korea (NOKO) tested 9 missiles in 2017 but none in 2018.  The United States successfully tested one of its SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) missiles on May 30, 2017, launching it from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.  It shot down a missile that was launched from the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean.  In the recent past it was successful only about 50% of the time, however, with recent improvements, it looks like it’s successful all of the time.  This is very important to the security of South Korea, Japan, and Hawaii, all of which are currently within reach of NOKO’s missiles.  Very shortly, the U.S. mainland will also be within reach of NOKO’s missiles.  Were it not for President Ronald Reagan, the U.S. would not have this “star wars” capability today.  Russian General Secretary Gorbachev pressed Reagan at their nuclear summit in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1986, but Reagan walked out of the talks rather than give up his Strategic Defense Initiative, nicknamed “starwars”.  The Democrat Congress tried to stop its development back then, as well as it and Democrat presidents up to the present, giving the Democrat Party the nickname the “Treason Party”.

NOKO has thousands of conventional artiliary aimed at Seoul,South Korea, many in hardened bunkers.  If the U.S. tried to destroy NOKO’s missile facilities, NOKO could kill at least a million South Koreans before all of their arsenal was obliterated by the U.S..  NOKO has the third largest army, after the U.S. and China. The U.S. recently tried to deploy its one-billion-dollar THAD anti-missile system in South Korea, as well as three aircraft carriers in the waters surrounding North Korea.

Ninety percent of NOKO’s trading is with China, making China very influential over NOKO.  President Trump pressured China to coerce NOKO to stop testing its missiles and meet with President Trump.  China, plus strong trade sanctions, convinced NOKO.  Previous presidents tried bribing NOKO, but NOKO did not keep any of its agreements with the U.S.

Life in North Korea, with the exception of its capitol, Pyongyang, is a living hell, with little food and electricity and government overwhelmingly horrible, similar to life depicted in George Orwell’s book, 1984, as explained in Barbara’s Demick’s  book on NOKO, Nothing to Envy.  However, North Koreans have been brainwashed to the extent that they worship Kim Jong-un, his father and grandfather as gods and believe all of the propaganda that the government presents.  Pyongyang sounds like a chapter out of the book, Stepford Wives.  To live there, a North Korean and his/her family must live an impeccable life, 100% loyal and obedient.

What will happen as a result of the Singapore Summit and the agreement Trump and Kim signed that NOKO will denuclearize?  No one can know for sure because NOKO has previously lied and cheated, however, I believe that President Trump’s unique personality  and the strong team he has assembled makes him and his administration distinctly capable of guiding the U.S. through these dangerous times.

YOUNG WOMEN: AVOID ARUBA…PLEASE!

Posted on by

Robyn Garner is gone.  Natalee Holloway is gone.  Many others, whom you’ll rarely hear about from the media,  are gone as well.   Aruba is known as a center for human trafficking and date-rape drugs.  Incompetence of  law enforcement, the Aruban legal system, and Aruba’s location are mostly to blame.  But I find it inconceivable that any young woman would even travel there…and if for some reason she had to vacation there, not to take special precautions, like not getting drunk or taking drugs, by being accompanied by someone whenever she left her hotel,  by being careful whom she befriended in Aruba, etc., etc., etc.

Few knew about the Aruban problem prior to Natalee disappearing and Joran Van der sloot being implicated in her disappearance.  But now the world knows.  Perhaps it is Gary Giordano who is responsible for Ms. Gardiner’s disappearnce, but listening to his being interviewed and answering tough questions, I think he’s telling the truth and is not responsible for Robyn’s disappearance, but I don’t know that for sure.  I believed Bill Clinton when he told the entire country, via TV, that he “did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinski,” so perhaps I’m not a good judge of determining who’s lying.

Men abuse and con women.  Women do likewise to men.  So who can you trust?  Trust is developed over time as you observe someone react to various situations.  But then there’s about 5-10% of the population that has something called “Intermittent Explosive Disorder” or IED.    Something sets off  people afflicted with IED and they lose all control of their emotions.  A good example of IED is in the first “Godfather” movie where a woman receives a phone call from her husband’s mistress and learns that he is cheating on her and she consequently throws a fit of fury and attempts to destroy everything in her home.

You may never see a significant other with this problem display such a fit of rage until after the wedding.  That’s why you need to be around someone for a sufficient amount of time so you  can witness any really bad behavior prior to making any committment.  Was Robyn around Gary long enough to see if  he was sane,  was she kidnapped into a lifetime of multiple daily rapes, or did she simply drown?  Of course I can’t know for sure, but if you’re a young woman, you really should consider vacationing somewhere other than Aruba.
