WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction .... this article will be today's political buzz in the U.S. .... and another (quite frankly) example of "fake news". On a side note involving U.S. politics .... my read of Senator Bob Corker New York Time's interview is different from what the U.S. main stream media is pushing .... Bob Corker Says Trump’s Recklessness Threatens ‘World War III’ (New York Times). I see President Trump "flushing out" a person who lost his cool and revealed his true self and intentions as well as those from key Senate Republicans .... which in to give no legislative support to President Trump's agenda. That is the second big political story of the week, the first being (of course) the Harvey Weinstein revelations of sexual crimes and the long delay among many key Democrats from responding (including from former President Bill Clinton, even though he and Harvey Weinstein are "best friends" .... and no .... I do not expect a response). Talk about someone (and those around him) unraveling .... 'I gotta get help... we all make mistakes': Harvey Weinstein's meltdown in front of photographers as he leaves LA on a private jet for $40,000-a-month rehab clinic (Daily Mail).
