Obama’s Nuclear “Deal” with Iran: A Historic Agreement, or an Epic Failure?

Posted on August 11, 2015 by Pawel Piotr Styrna

The “deal” seems to conform to a disconcerting pattern characterizing the Obama administration’s foreign policy of propping up anti-American Marxist or Islamist dictatorships. Thus, Obama has thrown a lifeline to and reestablished relations with communist-occupied Cuba, and his perplexing passivity vis-à-vis ISIS has helped that savage Jihadist tyranny survive and consolidate. Now, Team Obama has de facto shored up Khamenei’s regime and shielded it from international pressure and, especially, the threat of an airstrike by Israel (which does not possess the necessary bunker-buster bombs, which only the U.S. has, to destroy nuclear facilities embedded deeply in the mountains of Iran).

The Myth of Iran’s Peaceful Nuclear Program

Posted on August 5, 2015 by Daniel Greenfield

If Iran were really serious about abandoning a drive for nuclear weapons, it would have shut down its nuclear program.

Of strategic significance is the possibility that Iranian scientists are enriching uranium in Venezuela for shipment to Iran. Venezuelan sources have confirmed this possibility. Foreign intelligence services consulted by the author acknowledged these rumors but are unable to confirm them. If confirmed, these actions would violate UN sanctions as well as U.S. security measures. Continue reading →

The Iran-Cuba-Venezuela Nexus and the Castro Regime’s Continuous Support for Terrorism

Posted on March 10, 2015 by Jaime Suchlicki

In an attempt to obtain unilateral concession from the U.S., General Raul Castro’s regime has toned down some of the violent anti-U.S. propaganda of older brother Fidel. Yet, his commitments to and interrelationships with anti-American terrorist groups have not disappeared.

Netanyahu’s warning to the West

Posted on March 5, 2015 by Pawel Piotr Styrna

Benjamin Netanyahu’s address was not only a warning but also a breath of fresh air. The Israeli leader is not afraid to recognize the evil of Islamism, unlike the Obama administration, which is unable to break with the warped post-modernist relativism that characterizes the radical left.
