Neocon Obsessions With the Iraq War and Russiagate
Blunders, boondoggles, and scandals litter American history.
By: Andrew Moran Legendary comedian George Carlin recommended that everyone abide by three simple concepts: never believe the government, don’t listen to the media, and do a little thing called thinking. Every American should follow this sound advice, but too often emotions take over and logical and rational considerations are tossed aside.

The cause of this foreign policy blunder has never been determined, leading to one of two conclusions.

You can deduce which one is the reason for the Iraq War.

Neocons Sabotage Trump's Trade Talks - Huawei CFO Taken Hostage To Blackmail China
CNN reports that White House chief of staff John Kelly is expected to resign soon. There have been similar rumors before, but this time the news may actually be true.

The case is not over the sanction Trump recently imposed, but over an alleged collision with the sanction regime before the nuclear deal with Iran. The details are still unknown.
Meng Wanzhou is a daughter of the founder and main owner of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, and was groomed to be his successor. The company is extremely well regarded in China. It is one of its jewel pieces and, with 170,000 employees and $100 billion in revenues, an important political actor.
The arrest on December 1 happened while president Trump was negotiating with president Xi of China about trade relations. Trump did not know about the upcoming arrest but Bolton was informed of it:
While the Justice Department did brief the White House about the impending arrest, Mr. Trump was not told about it. And the subject did not come up at the dinner with Mr. Xi. Mr. Trump’s national security adviser, John R. Bolton, said on NPR that he knew about the arrest in advance, ..Bolton surely should have informed Trump before his dinner with Xi, in which Bolton took part, but he didn't.
