Blankfort reports on biggest NATO exercises since Cold War targeting Russia; points to irony of Obama in Poland urging weapons purchases when violence is occurring in US and killing of 5 Dallas cops by Army Afghan vet as 'chickens coming home to roost.; notes that NATO's leading European members would prefer to trade with than sanction Russia and German foreign minister calls NATO exercises 'saber-rattling'; PLAYS 4:14 speech of UK Brexit proponent, Nigel Farage, blasting US and Western intervention in the Middle East and Libya and supporting coup in Ukraine, poking Putin in the eye; A MUST LISTEN. Blankfort then compares UK Chilcot Inquiry over Iraq war with US indifference following Obama's 'pardoning' of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al for having launched the war as one of his first acts in office; reports critique of administration's under-reporting of civilians killed by US drones; on Rep.
