Bloody end to Obama era: 26,171 bombs dropped just in 2016
Obama: bomb, bomb, bomb
The US has long been notorious for being a militaristic power that has waged numerous destructive wars without a good reason in various parts of the world from east Asia to Central America to the Middle East. When Outgoing US president Barack Obama assumed office in 2009, many inside and outside the US were hopeful they would not see the American military bullying other nations with its huge military machine at least during Obama's presidency. The president himself was awarded the Nobel peace prize in October 2009 which is ironic given his illegal drone wars in several countries which all happened to be Muslim nations. Seven years on, figures show that Obama has set a record in using munitions in other countries.

Italy's 5-star face-lift
The decision came as a surprise. Italy’s Beppe Grillo, who heads the populist Five Star Movement has decided to part with the Eurosceptic Nigel Farage and join the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, a party headed by Belgium’s former prime minister .The move was a surprise decision that shocked many euosceptics. But the latest decision by the Five Star Movement could be interpreted as an attempt to do a face-lift: Putting a less radical face just before elections. Its fiery rhetoric against the euro and immigration has scared many left-wing voters. Grillo’s decision also reflects a pragmatic calculation to gain a foothold in mainstream politics. That would give the Five Star Movement a less ideological face. Is the party trying to become more flexible and opportunistic?
