Why the Pentagon’s New Name Matters

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order authorizing the Department of Defense to use the Department of War as a secondary title.

The update was made official during a White House event, where Trump said he was bringing back the original name of the department. And the action is raising questions over whether this is just a name change or a signal of something else.

Alongside this, Trump posted two images that appear to be a veiled threat to Russia. This happens as the president says he’s losing patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And also, in other news, a young woman who was stabbed to death on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, is sparking outrage over what some call light-on-crime policies and an alleged double standard in reporting by the corporate media.

We’ll discuss these topics, and others, in this episode of Crossroads.
