LARRY JOHNSON—As I mentioned to the Judge, the prank call by Vovan and Lexus, two lovable Russian rascals, who pretended to be Petro Poroshenko, produced some major truth bombs from Radoslaw Sikorski.

Additionally, Iran’s rise has put it in place to threaten the U.S. with economic doom should full war break out, making Washington at risk of experiencing the same crises it subjects others to through its sanctions. Over the last two decades, Iran has also indirectly gained much more military power, since its anti-Zionist resistance partner Hezbollah has become an immensely strong armed force.

War, genocide and tyranny are the west’s real values.
