I'm really growing fond of Colonel Wikerson! He had a great quote in the interview:Trump's Latest Iran Sanctions Show an Unraveling of US Foreign Policy
"...Putin is the strategist of the world, picking up the pieces the US drops."

Putin just had talks with North Korea they said was promising, they're in Venezuela, Russia is helping make agreements between rebels and Assad in Syria.
