And they’ve been at it for a long time, unbeknownst to the American people. The title of his new book, How Trump Stole 2020, serves as fair warning, while he does everything in his power to educate [...]

London's air operation against Islamic State in Syria is illegal and therefore will not be successful, like the bombing of the US-led coalition in the country over the last year, Syrian President Bashar Assad said in an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper.
