- Trump Attacks Iran to Benefit Russia
Three biggest questions of Trump’s war against Iran:
1) Did Israel war criminal Netanyahu force a weak Trump to bomb Iran?
2) Did compromised Trump bomb Iran to help Putin with oil revenues & Russia’s war against Ukraine?

United States11 days ago I listen every morning and night and I appreciate the summary of the most important events in politics, economy and technology. This is not sensationalist blog or podcast. It’s measured and it keeps me informed. I wish it could have 3 editions a day.
Audible5ryrporsUnited States20 days ago- So called
I’ve noticed WSJ is using the term “so called” now. I would think if someone names something then it’s not “so called “. It’s actually called that. If you’re going to use that term then explain why. That’s journalism.

One star.
