What Are We To Believe? – Antiwar.com Original
“The Washington Post has published a story claiming that the North Korean regime of Kim Jong Un has succeeded in miniaturizing a nuclear warhead small enough to fit onto an intercontinental ballistic missile.

‘Dr. Strangelove’ (1964), the War Room Scene – LewRockwell
Writes Pat Mason: Lew, remember how hard we laughed at this scene? The comedic and warped portrayal by George C. Scott of the warmongering, maniacal ‘General Turgidson’ and his unhinged plan to launch a massive, preemptive strike on Russia was SO over the top that you couldn’t help but laugh at just how crazy a plan it was.

The Unsung Summit of Putin and Trump – LewRockwell
“This week marks the 72nd anniversary of the criminal US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And as is the case each year, there is much discussion and lamenting over this atrocity, as there well should be. For the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not necessary for victory; Japan had already sued for peace. It was the opening salvo, a brutal one, in the first Cold War in which the world was nearly incinerated during the Cuban missile crisis. This week is also the one month anniversary of the first in-person meeting of Presidents Trump and Putin at Hamburg on …”
