LOS ANGELES.--Syria’s new revolutionary leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, once head of al-Qaeda’s al-Nusra Front, joined forces with the Kurd’s SDF, considered a mortal enemy of Turkey’s 71-year-old President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Joining forces with the Kurds is a slap in the face to Erdogan who’s threatened for some time to eliminate the SDF on the grounds that it’s linked to the PKK [Kurdistan Workers Party] considered a terrorist group in Turkey for its struggle for generations to form an independent Kurdistan.  Shaking hands...

LOS ANGELES.--Called out by his former Senate colleagues on his Ukraine policy, 53-year-old Secretary of State Marco Rubio faced unwarranted criticism, with Democrats saying they wished they didn’t vote for his confirmation.  Rubio burnished his reputation, as Cuban exile, a tough anti-Communist voice in the U.S. Senate, a strong backer of 82-year-old former President Joe Biden’s proxy war in Ukraine with the Kremlin.  Rubio, like everyone else in the Senate, was told that 72-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin...

LOS ANGELES.--Ukraine’s 47-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky showed he’s not serious about peace, exploiting the European Union [EU] to undermine 78-year-old President Donald Trump’s ongoing peace efforts with 72-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Zelensky’s only way out the destructive war is to let Trump negotiate a workable peace plan, not to run to EU claiming he’s been excluded from all peace negotiations.  Zelensky has put out his 10-point peace plan for years after rejecting all peace plans by several...

LOS ANGELES.--Turkey’s 71-year-old autocratic President Recep Tayyip Erdogan backs a new ceasefire in Ukraine announced by 47-year-old French President Emmanuel Macron.  Macron wants a one-month ceasefire in the air and at sea as the first step for negotiating any peace settlement in Ukraine.  President Donald Trump, 78, has worked closely with Russian officials to come up with the peace plan that would work for the Kremlin, not one that panders to the EU now accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of a danger to the...

LOS ANGELES.--French President Emmanuel Macron, 47, has now taken the European Union’s [EU] lead on confronting 72-year-old Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Macron spoke to the French people March 25 telling them that Russia has become a pressing danger to European security.  Two weeks before at the Munich Security Conference, 47-year-old Ukrainian President Volodymer Zelensky told EU leaders that 78-year-old President Donald Trump was no longer interested in European security, something Trump never said or hinted. ...

Keith Kellogg, announced that the U.S. would no longer share intel on Russian defense movement in Ukraine, already announcing March 2 that Trump would pause military and financial aid to Ukraine.  Kellogg said the Ukraine brought White House actions on itself by its deplorable Feb. 28 Oval Office meeting where Zelensky engaged Trump and 40-year-old Vice President J.D. Vance in a shouting match.  Zelensky came to the White House to sign a rare earth minerals...

LOS ANGELES.--Hamas threatened to kill the remaining hostages if 75-year-old Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not adhere to the ceasefire agreement, calling for Phase 2, requiring Israel to withdraw its forces from the Gaza Strip.  President Donald Trump warned Hamas again to either release the remaining hostages or have “hell to pay” with a new escalation in fighting.  Trump certainly knows that Hamas doesn’t bend to threats of annihilation because they’ve already be nearly wiped out during their two-year...

LOS ANGELS.--Meeting for the third time in one week, 47-year-old Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has worked feverishly to turn the European Union against the U.S.  Only two weeks ago in Munich Zelensky told foreign and defense ministers that the U.S., under 78-year-old President Donald Trump, was no longer interested in European security.  Trump never said or implied any such thing but Zelensky was desperate to split the EU off from the U.S. After blowing up at Trump and 40-year-old Vice President J.D. Vance in the...
