Venezuela
There were
more protests against the tyrannical Socialist Venezuelan regime late last
month. Meanwhile, the United States
Department of State is reportedly considering listing
Venezuela as a
state sponsor of terrorism, something I called for in a post to this blog from
February of 2012, Designate Venezuela a State Sponsor of Terrorism,

Russia
Russian Federation warships attacked Ukrainian
naval boats last week in international waters in the Kerch Strait
in an unprovoked attack in which the Russian naval forces fired shots at the
Ukrainian vessels and rammed one of them, capturing the Ukrainian boats and
their crew and refusing to release them.
Russia invaded Ukraine’s Crimean
Peninsula in 2014, in violation of a
treaty between the two former Soviet Republics in which Russia
agreed to recognize Ukraine’s
independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, including Crimea, where Russia was
permitted to retain a naval base. The Kerch strait, which leads from the Black Sea to the Sea of
Azov, is between Russian and Crimea. The tyrannical regime of Vladimir Putin also militarily
backs Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine. Over ten thousand Ukrainians have been killed
in the Russian-led war.
Philippines
The
President of the Philippines,
Rodrigo Duterte, the “Filipino Trump,” has threatened critics, including
Catholic Bishops, of his overt policy of encouraging Filipinos to kill suspected
drug dealers. Thousands of Filipinos
have been murdered without trial. Donald
Trump, the pretender to the American presidency, praised Duterte for his
policy. Duterte has admitted to the “sin
of extrajudicial killings.”
