North Korea has now stated that they have ceased the denuclearization process since August 14. Furthermore they are planning to reactivate their nuclear plants that were supposed to be disarmed as a result of a six-nation treaty involving the Untied States.

The Russian Army is now accusing the United States and several NATO countries of establishing military presence in Georgia under the guise of humanitarian aid. He said that ships from the United States as well as Spain and Germany are occupying the region while pretending to distribute aid to Georgia.

How necessary is renewable energy for the United States? Oil is good right? It has always worked, who’s to say we should change anything up now? Well given the current situation in the Middle East, it could be in the best interest of America if we began exploring alternative energy mediums. If we continue to purchase oil from unstable foreign governments, we will continue to support their economy. However if we could cut ourselves off from oil from foreign nations, we would have more money being pumped through the united states and less money being given to unstable governments.

Iran has just received their fourth set of UN sanctions for not halting the production of uranium enrichment. Instead of showing any signs of winding down, Iranian officials have now asked six Iranian companies to find suitable places for new nuclear power plants to be built. For some reason I keep thinking that these sanctions will slow Iran down, but on the contrary they are simply trying to increase production.
Why do you think Iran continues to disregard UN orders? Surely they must realize that there will be greater and greater repercussions for each day that they continue to disregard UN » Read More

A Russian Government Official was quoted on Tuesday saying that Russia’s military exports would be in excess of 8.5 billion dollars for 2008. With their increased arms exporting, Russia is now the number two in arms exporting behind the United States. What does this mean for the United States? Honestly I believe that it means we need to keep an eye out for exports to nations who lean towards nefarious activities. One of the primary nations that Russia exports their weapons to is Iran. As a global superpower that is currently engaged in disagreements with Iran, is it a problem » Read More

In a surprise turn of events, the US National Intelligence came out and admitted that they believe that Tehran had not been trying to develop nuclear weapons since 2003 based on their current knowledge. They also stated that they believed that Iran had not resumed this project.
In January of 2008 the UN decided that they did not know enough about the current nuclear situation in Iran so they gave Iran a four-week deadline to shed light on the entire nuclear situation. The UN inspections team later reported that they had gained valuable information about the nuclear program but that no » Read More
