Story to Watch: US/Russia/Iran/China/Syria
By Deena Stryker
There's nothing like seeing enemies link arms to get a bully to realize the gig is up. As Donald Trump revs up support among his followers for repairing relations with Russia, the present administration finally gets it: ISIS, not Russia, is the enemy.

This morning MSNBC announced serious talks on US/Russia cooperation to finally put an end to the war in Syria.
At the same time, RT announced that Iran will allow Russia to use an airbase on its territory for strikes on Syria, as China lends its support in this latest effort.

Born in Phila, I spent most of my adolescent and adult years in
Europe, resulting over time in several unique books, my latest being Russia's Americans.
CUBA: Diary of a
Revolution, Inside the Cuban Revolution with Fidel, Raul, Che, and Celia
Sanchez
America Revealed to a
Honey-Colored World
A Taoist Politics: The
Case For Sacredness
I began my journalistic career at the French News Agency in Rome,
spent two years in Cuba finding out whether the Barbados were Communists before
they made the revolution ('Cuba 1964: When the Revolution was Young'). After
spending half a decade in Eastern Europe, and a decade in the U.S., studying
Global Survival and writing speeches in the Carter State Department, I wrote
the only book that foresaw the fall of the Berlin Wall AND the dissolution of
the Soviet Union ("Une autre Europe, un autre Monde'). My memoir, 'Lunch
with Fellini, Dinner with Fidel', tells it all. 'A Taoist Politics: The Case
for Sacredness', which examines the similarities between ancient wisdom and
modern science and what this implies for political activism; and 'America Revealed
to a Honey-Colored World" is a pamphlet about how the U.S. came down from
the City on a Hill'.
