The Exceptional Nation Asserts Its Exceptionalism Paul Craig Roberts Washington has chosen a president for Venezuela. I wonder if Trump saw the black humor in doing to Maduro what the Democrats and presstitutes are doing to him. Few Latin American governments have ever had a government that represents the majority indigenous people or a president who was not of Spanish…

Washington Has Appointed A President For Venezuela Paul Craig Roberts After listening since 2016 to the American presstitutes complain, without providing a mere scrap of evidence, of Russia meddling in US elections, a person would think that the last thing Washington would do would be to meddle in other countries’ elections.

The Demise of the West: Part II Western Elites Are Anti-Democratic Paul Craig Roberts It is customary to speak of Western countries as democracies.

The World Known to Me Is Fading Away Paul Craig Roberts In a few hours it will be another new year, 2019.

Trump Has Been Broken by the Military/Security Complex Paul Craig Roberts In order to protect himself from the military/security complex, President Trump has abandoned his intention of normalizing relations with Russia.
