With so much spin being spun around the Framework Deal between Iran and the P5+1, RPI's Daniel McAdams goes point-by-point on what Iran agreed to give up in exchange for an end to the decades-long US, EU, and UN sanctions. The neocons in the US and their kindred spirits in Israel claim that Iran gave up nothing and will continue to build a nuclear weapon.

This deal, in the words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "does not block Iran's path to the bomb. Such a deal paves Iran's path to the bomb." Of course Netanyahu's Iran hysteria goes back to at least 1992, when he claimed that Iran was just a couple of years away from a nuclear weapon. read on...

Obama blames the rise of ISIS and al-Qaeda in Iraq on US military action against Iraq in 2003. So what is his solution? More military action against Iraq! And what if ISIS continues to capture hundreds of millions of dollars of US military equipment to use against the US? Send in more equipment!

Will this open the door for assassinations and other covert operations against the secession-minded Lugansk and Donetsk regions? What are the implications for the Minsk 2.0 ceasefire if this new law is implemented? Will Kiev's western sponsors speak up? RPI's Daniel McAdams is interviewed on this development today on RT... read on...
Why is NATO conducting military operations on Russia's border in Latvia? Should US ally itself with ISIS? Senator Cotton is an ill-informed warmonger. Is Venezuela the greatest threat to the United States? RPI's Daniel McAdams and Jay Taylor tackle the foreign policy week in review. read on...
Victoria Nuland distorts the US role in the Ukraine coup before Congress. Isn't it supposed to be frowned upon to lie to Congress? Also Iran joins the fight against ISIS and John McCain is troubled by the development. He would rather have Americans on the ground fighting.

US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland appeared before the House International Relations Committee yesterday to beat the war drums against Russia over Ukraine.
