Serious about peace?

The US wants more war because it means more profit and distracts from the social problems. The US tries to paint Pyongyang as the world's enemy, however, we know who the true aggressor is, says international affairs commentator Daniel Shaw.

The US president has offered to help Middle East countries resolve the blockade of Qatar, a country which he branded a sponsor of terrorism just a few months ago when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE cut diplomatic and transport links with the Gulf nation.

The US maintains a significant military presence in Qatar with the biggest air base in the region; around 11,000 American troops are stationed there. Just weeks after welcoming the blockade, President Trump approved a fighter jet deal with Qatar worth $12 billion.

RT talked to the international affairs commentator Daniel Shaw and explains the US always puts its military interests first.
