  Hillary Clinton escalated her campaign rhetoric in Reno, Nevada, by explicitly labeling Donald Trump a bigot and linking his movement to the alt-right and white nationalism. The speech targeted radio host Alex Jones and Breitbart News CEO Steve Bannon, while Clinton simultaneously identified Russian President Vladimir Putin as the godfather of a global brand of extreme nationalism. Trump responded by dismissing the accusations as a tired distraction from failed Democratic policies.

In Syria, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs accuses the CIA of a five-year secret war to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, as China and Russia formalize a military coalition to support the Syrian government.

Despite these threats, an analysis of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty reveals a formal two-year negotiation window and a pathway for re-entry.
