According to the document, nearly 255,000 Poles, 185,000 Italians and 155,000 Romanians, aged between 18 and 40, reside in Germany, and if even 10 percent of them would be interested in the Bundeswehr, that could generate 50,000 new applicants. ...

Amazon Puts Users' Data at Risk With China Payment Processing (Mano Korsanke/Dreamstime) By Jim Hoffer | Thursday, 27 December 2018 01:26 PM Amazon’s aggressive push into the Chinese market was hailed by the company as a move to extend its global reach even further. The ecommerce giant, which has become a mainstay across North America, Europe, and large parts of Asia, remains woefully behind local platforms like Alibaba, which controls nearly half of China’s online retail market. To combat this, Amazon (AMZN) has bent over backwards to attract Chinese merchants and shoppers, offering concessions and solutions that have given retailers—and the third parties they ...

According to CASIC, the CM-401 is fitted with a terminal radar guidance unit featuring a nose-mounted gimballed antenna. Once launched, the missile flies along a ballistic trajectory, reaching a near-space altitude. ...
Israel’s Christmas Attack on Syria Wasn’t Surprising but It Revealed an “Inconvenient Truth” About Russia’s S-300s Anti-Air Missiles

William Bowles – Online since 1979... [I don’t happen to agree with this analysis as it seems that existing armaments integration into the Russian defence network took out 14 of the 16 missiles that Israel fired (illegally) from Lebanon’s air space. Be that as it may, there’s still the issue of Russia’s relationship to the rogue state Israel. It surely must lead to conflicts given the way Israel has and still does act toward Syria. WB] All the pieces were in place for it to happen sooner than later, but striking Syria on Christmas night sent a terrifying message that’s sure to backfire against “Israel” but will probably also get people to wonder why ...

World’s biggest gold mine nationalized in Indonesia

It’s done. After two years of often fraught negotiations – and a last-minute environmental hiccup – the government and US mineral giant Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) have finally concluded an agreement effectively nationalizing Indonesia’s most prized mining asset in the mountains of easternmost Papua. Issuing subsidiary PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) with a special mining permit (IUPK) to replace the firm’s current contract of work was the last step towards state-owned PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Inalum) taking a 51.2% controlling interest in the Grasberg, one of the world’s most profitable gold and copper mines.
Good Riddance to General Mattis and the Rest of Washington’s Mad Dogs of War

From the wailing and gnashing of teeth among the mainstream media and officialdom over General Mattis’ (welcome) departure, you would think that the Rapture had come and Washington’s ruling class was being unjustly left behind to eternal perdition. And if not that, then the Mattis Affair is alleged to be at least its secular equivalent – an unwarranted and unforgivable affront to the good and the brave of the Imperial City. Then again, exactly what was so existentially harmful to America’s security about Trump’s decision to get out of Syria – the apparent reason for Mattis’ ballyhooed resignation? The fact is, you can’t find a trace of threat to ...

Dominic West has been bombarded with sarcastic comments on Twitter after he suggested that a new James Bond should be played by a transgender woman. But what about female Thor, vegan Batman… and can 007 be a cat, people asked. So far, six male actors have played the fictional British secret agent working for MI6 during the whole 50-year-old franchise. The current Bond, Daniel Craig, has been in the last four movies and the fifth, currently being made, is expected to be his last. So, the vacancy is open. English actor and director Dominic West decided to pitch his view on Bond’s successor in an interview to The Times. And he suggested a sex change. But not to a cisgender woman ...

He is an artifact of a failed war policy and his departure was a long time coming. Senior officials never seem to resign over a president starting a war. Now Trump, the guy everyone expected to start new wars, has instead ended one and is on his way to wrapping up another. The New York Times, its journalists in mourning over the loss of a war, ask, “Who will protect America now?” Mattis the warrior-monk is juxtaposed with the flippant commander-in-Cheeto. The Times sees strategic disaster in an “abrupt and dangerous decision, detached from any broader strategic context or any public rationale, [that] sowed new uncertainty about America’s commitment to the Middle East, ...

US President Donald Trump has reignited his feud with Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), saying he “badmouths me for wanting to bring our young people safely back home.” Trump claimed on Sunday that Corker, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is retiring because his poll numbers "tanked" because he failed to obtain his endorsement.
