Philip Giraldi | thealtworld.com | 2020-04-30
It is important to note that no Americans have been killed or injured as a result of recent Iranian, Russian, or Chinese and North Korean actions. | When in trouble politically, governments have traditionally conjured up a foreign enemy to explain why things are going wrong. Whatever one chooses to believe about the coronavirus, the fact is that it has resulted in considerable political backlash against a number of governments whose behavior has been perceived as either too extreme or too dilatory. Donald Trump's White House has taken shots from both directions and the response to the disease has also been pil…
