Conrad Black;

There will be some frictions at the NATO meetings, but the president can reflect on the fact that when he assumed office, only three NATO countries of 27 apart from the United States were meeting the agreed target of devoting 2 % of GDP to defense: the United Kingdom, Poland, and mighty Estonia. Today that number is eight, and commitments are in place to take it up to 18 out of 30 within four years, a total increase in alliance defense spending of $400 billion.

Trump To Designate Mexican Drug Cartels As Terrorist Groups

BBC;

The US will legally designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups, President Donald Trump says.
 
The move would enable a wider scope of US action. Mr Trump also said he had told Mexico the US was ready to “go in and clear out” the cartels.
 
In response Mexico’s foreign minister said his country would not allow any “violation of national sovereignty”.

Snowflakes Unite!

They would think you to be clinically insane, yes?!?
