LEMON DROP - John Bolton Warns Trump’s “Crazy” Threat Could Backfire

Sep 23, 2026 | Donald Trump stood before the United Nations - the institution created to prevent another world war - and threatened to “annihilate” Iran if it refused to make a deal. Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton joins Don Lemon to explain what that extraordinary warning could mean. Was this calculated deterrence, or dangerous rhetoric that could push an already volatile conflict toward catastrophe? Bolton also addresses Trump’s claim that an agreement could come after the midterm elections, the risks facing American troops and allies, and whether the president has any coherent strategy for ending the war. Is Trump moving America closer to peace or dragging the country toward an even wider war?

Trump keeps on saying that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, but he seems to think it's okay for Saudi Arabia to develop nuclear weapons. And Israel, which we have all seen is irresponsible, is said to have hundreds of them! How sick Trump is! And, by the way, are America's nuclear weapons safe in Trump's hands? — © Mark Alexander

„Es wäre unverantwortlich, sich nicht vorzubereiten“: Carney hielt US-Militäraktion gegen Kanada für möglich

TAGESSPIEGEL: US Präsident Trump bezeichnete Kanada wiederholt als möglichen „51. Bundesstaat“ der USA. Dass Washington dafür sein Militär einsetzen könnte, wurde beim nördlichen Nachbarn wohl intensiv diskutiert.

Könnten die USA in ihrem Bestreben, Kanada zu ihrem „51. Bundesstaat“ zu machen, eine Militäraktion gegen den nördlichen Nachbarn starten? Was abwegig klingt, wurde in Ottawa offenbar sorgfältig geprüft. „Ich denke, man hat in solchen Positionen die Verantwortung, extreme Risiken zu berücksichtigen“, sagte der kanadische Premier Mark Carney in einem Interview mit der „New York Times“, das am Mittwoch geführt wurde.

US-Präsident Donald Trump bezeichnete Kanada wiederholt als möglichen „51. Bundesstaat“ der USA und forderte die Eingliederung des Landes. Vertreter der US-Regierung sollen sich laut Recherchen der „Financial Times“ im vergangenen Jahr mehrfach mit führenden Köpfen einer rechtsextremen Separatistengruppe aus der kanadischen Provinz Alberta getroffen haben. Zuletzt verschärfte sich der andauernde Handelsstreit zwischen den beiden Nachbarländern erneut. » | Von Daniel Krause | Freitag, 25. September 2026

I Know the Secret of Why Trump Truly Fears Putin | The Daily Beast Podcast

Sep 14, 2026 | Luke Harding, author of the new book Betrayal: Trump, Putin and The New Age of Conquest, speaks with Joanna Coles about the decades-long relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, and the Russian intelligence operation that Harding argues helped cultivate Trump as a potential target for influence.

Harding traces Trump’s early connections to Moscow, the murky financial dealings that followed, and the compromising information that may give Putin leverage over the president, including what could have been captured during Trump’s visits to Russia. He also explains why Russia viewed Trump’s 2016 victory as a historic intelligence triumph, how Trump’s approach to Ukraine has benefited Putin, and why Russia and China see an opportunity to reshape the global order.

Harding reveals what he experienced first-hand while reporting in Moscow, including the surveillance and intimidation campaign that ultimately led to his expulsion, before turning to the startling possibility that Russian state television has used Melania Trump as a warning to her husband.

Trump Has Gone Full Authoritarian | Ruth Ben-Ghiat

Sep 22, 2026 | Has Donald Trump moved from authoritarian rhetoric to an increasingly authoritarian governing style?

Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins the conversation about Trump's expanding executive power, his attacks on the press, and the broader authoritarian patterns she has studied in historical strongman regimes.

The latest confrontation with the media has intensified the debate. Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House after attacking their coverage, prompting the outlets to sue and legal experts to raise First Amendment concerns over viewpoint discrimination.

Ben-Ghiat has described the White House's treatment of the press as part of an “autocratic playbook,” while recent analysis has also highlighted the administration's efforts to expand presidential power.

What does this tell us about where American democracy is heading — and what happens when traditional checks on presidential power begin to weaken?

Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping offered a revealing glimpse of how dramatically the balance between the United States and China has changed. As Trump and Xi discussed trade, technology, artificial intelligence, Taiwan and the future of US-China relations, the encounter raised a much bigger question: is America still setting the terms of global power, or is China increasingly negotiating with Washington as an equal?

Why Is Argentina Reigniting the Falklands Dispute? | Inside Story

Sep 5, 2026 | It's been dormant for decades... But the row between Argentina and Britain over the Falkland Islands has been revived. It started with a joint British-Israeli oil exploration project off the archipelago's north coast -- to which Buenos Aires vehemently objected.

President Javier Milei has now threatened to impose sanctions on companies operating there. His push to reclaim the islands was bolstered by Donald Trump's comment that he may reconsider Washington's position on the territory.

Britain and Argentina went to war over the islands more than four decades ago. Could the dispute escalate into another armed confrontation

Falklands: Milei Is 'Harassing' Us, Say Locals

Sep 9, 2026 | “If someone's polls start failing, if the president starts doing badly and losing popularity, we become a national bastion to try to stand behind, which is incredibly harassing.”

Argentina President Javier Milei’s constant questioning of the Falkland Islands sovereignty is “physiologically traumatising” for the people of the Island says former member of the Falklands Islands legislative assembly, Tesyln Barman.


Interesting Informamtion:

The name "Malvinas" means "people from Saint-Malo." It is a Spanish translation of a French name used to describe the origin of the sailors who first colonized the territory.

The Etymology Trail:

The name evolved through a chain of languages and historical events:

1. St. Malo (The Saint): The root of the name comes from St. Malo (also known as Maclou), a 6th-century Christian evangelist traditionally believed to have been born in Wales before founding a city in Brittany, France.

2. Saint-Malo (The Port): This French port city was named in his honour. Residents and mariners from this specific town are called Malouins.

3. Îles Malouines (The French Name): In 1764, French explorer Louis-Antoine de Bougainville founded the first human settlement on the islands. Because his crew and colonists departed from the port of Saint-Malo, he named the archipelago Îles Malouines (literally, "The Malouin Islands").

4. Islas Malvinas (The Spanish Name): When Spain later took control of the French settlement, they adapted the French phonetic sound into Spanish, turning Malouines into Malvinas.

US Judge Overturns President Trump's White House Media Ban | BBC News

Sep 24, 2026 | A US judge had temporarily overturned bans placed on MS Now, CNN and Politico from the White House.

A District of Columbia court issued a temporary restraining order against the ban, meaning CNN, MS NOW and Politico must have their access restored for 14 days, after ruling the move "likely violated their constitutional due process rights".

The Trump administration defended the move in court, accusing the outlets of publishing false information and threatening national security - an argument the court rejected.

Trump’s UN Speech Was Delusional and Dangerous

THE GUARDIAN: It is sad and dangerous that at such a perilous moment, the United States is saddled with a president like Trump

Donald Trump’s speech on Tuesday to the United Nations general assembly was an object lesson in his lawless rule and remarkable capacity for self-delusion. Disregarding the UN charter’s emphasis on the peaceful resolution of disputes, he doubled down on his violent unilateralism while denigrating the global issues that the UN is designed to address.

For many, the headline remark was his musing about whether to “annihilate the Islamic Republic” of Iran. “Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?”

But it was probably less a genuine threat than a clumsy effort to influence negotiations where he has little leverage. Trump is in desperate quest of some face-saving gesture that will allow him to feign “victory” and extract himself from his disastrous war of choice.

He spoke of destroying the “Islamic Republic”, which might imply the Iranian military, a legitimate military target. But his reference to precluding future generations suggests he meant to threaten the Iranian people. Attacking them would be a blatant war crime. » | Kenneth Roth | Wednesday, September 23, 2026
