Washington, (18 January- 14.29). The U.S. presidency has begun. They call him names, weaponized the legal structures, sued him in open court, try to kill him, not once but twice, they stormed his house, searched his personal belongings all under the name of political persecution.

Rome (9/07 – 66.7) Fortune-telling is now a criminal act in the Central Asian states of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, amidst the teetering economies.

The U.S. military should reassess its force posture in Europe and reduce its reliance on revolving door-style unit rotations, a major think tank’s analysts concluded in a Monday report. The Center for Strategic and International Studies’ transnational threat team based their study on official documents, open-source materials and interviews with subject-matter experts.
