WAR CRIMES & CRIMINALS

PHILIP A. FARRUGGIO—One can fast forward to some of our own nation’s so called ‘ Wars’ after WW2: Korea, Vietnam and of course Iraq.

The officials claimed that the Trump administration has been holding non-stop discussions involving senior military commanders and advisers to President Donald Trump since Friday, the Jerusalem Post reported.

MoA—On May 9 the White House announced that it would nominate Shanahan for the Secretary of Defense position. But it never sent the nomination request to Congress to have Shanahan confirmed.
