President Donald Trump, I am constrained to ask you the following question.With respect do you really believe there can be peace after you have dropped all those bombs?If so you are far less intelligent than I thought and power has blinded your better judgement.You have clearly lost your senses, your emotions have taken over and, like a scorned woman, you are unable to exercise any logical or rational thinking.At this point perhaps the best course for the American people is to have you impeached.

Farce is a regular feature of international relations. It can be gaudy and lurid, dressed up in all manner of outfits. It can adopt an absurd visage that renders the subject comical and lacking in credibility. That subject is the European Union, that curious collective of cobbled, sometimes erratic nation states that has pretensions of having a foreign policy, hints at having a security policy and yearns for a cohering enemy.With its pre-emptive attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities and much civilian infrastructure besides, Israel is being treated as a delicate matter. Condemnation of its attacks as a violation of Article…

In an effort to stem the flow of refugees, the EU is begun shifting responsibility to third countries – primarily African states which already face instability.The clearest example of what these policies have led to is Libya.

Left in chaos after Western/NATO military intervention, Libya has become a launching platform for millions hoping to reach European shores.Yet, Libya is not…
