The latest temper tantrum is littered with falsehood and distortion.

World leaders have pledged their commitment to the Iran nuclear deal after Donald Trump withdrew his support for the landmark agreement.

I am becoming increasingly irritated by the finger glued to thumb gesture from the blonde/sand coloured hair (just about covering the grey), orange coloured skin megalomaniac who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington,  DC. 
Following reports of the most recent temper tantrum reverberating around the corridors of the White House, Donald Trump appeared on television screens around the world ranting about how evil Iran is and how they are reneging on their commitments to the Iranian Nuclear Agreement. He is wrong of course since none of the other signatories to the deal, China, Russia, Germany, United Kingdom and the European Union agree with him and have all stated that they consider that Iran is fully compliant with the "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)" or Iran Nuclear Deal as it is commonly known, reached in July 2015 and which included the United States under the then President Barak Obama.  

Iran Nuclear Deal

It therefore follows that Trump is mistaken in his assertions or perhaps more accurately, he is being deliberately mischevious and provocative by stating what he knows to be untrue in pursuit of (not very well) hidden objectives. 
Moreover, he throws in other falsehoods in justification of his allegations many of which are in fact not even amongst the terms or points in the agreement. 
His rantings did however fall short, but only just, of committing the United States to "totally destroying" Iran and therein lies perhaps the real motives for Trump's astonishing outburst. He has been frustrated in his aspirations to achieve American domination in the world by spreading "peace and democracy" through regime change in other countries. For this failure of American foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, Trump blames Iran and Russia. The twisted logic of Trump's reasoning produces the solution that by reimposing even more severe sanctions against Tehran he can bring down the Iranian government. He refuses to accept the overwhelming evidence that sanctions did not work in the past and have had little effect in other disputes. More over, if he expected that the other signatories to the agreement would blindly follow America's lead, he is very mistaken.
It appears that Trump seeks to lead the United States into another war regardless of any consequences. For the moment, the question of North Korea is on a back burner as the President stokes the rhetoric against Iran and its people. In  connection with Iran, Trump has badly miscalculated and the indications are that he is miscalculating in respect of Korea.

Donald John Trump the 45th President of the United States, is a very dangerous man.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
