by Dimitri Konstantakopoulos

Athens (Greece) | 10 October 2017

While we do not share his analysis of US society and political life, we agree with him that there is a war-mongering group that is pushing for an atomic war in the Korean peninsula. We are publishing this point of view because we find it very useful to the debate.
