Loose Talk of ‘Fake News’ Is Bad for Democracy The secretary of defense shouldn’t pit the military against the media.

Throwing around baseless accusations of “fake news” during wartime may generate applause, but it weakens one of the institutions that distinguishes us from the regimes we often oppose.

Trump said he had a “positive” call with Putin discussing both the Ukraine war and the escalating conflict with Iran. He also hinted the US may temporarily ease oil sanctions on some countries to stabilize global energy markets.

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

It’s fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population — by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.
