Ukraine Doesn’t Deserve America’s Blind Support

The Kerch Strait incident has Westerners once again antagonizing Russia. But the truth is far more complicated. The recent clash between Russian and Ukrainian naval vessels in the Kerch Strait has generated a flurry of alarm. NATO was compelled to call an emergency meeting with Ukraine and the UN Security Council convened an urgent session to discuss the crisis. Exercising their usual tendency to oversimplify murky geopolitical rivalries, Western officials and journalists embraced the knee-jerk narrative that the incident is yet another case of Vladimir Putin’s blatant aggression and “outlaw behavior” against its peace-loving, democratic neighbor. Right on cue, CNN, MSNBC, ...

Global emissions of heat-trapping carbon dioxide have risen significantly and are expected to reach record levels next year, scientists warn in a new report. The alarming findings, based on the results of three studies, was published on Wednesday in an annual report by the Global Carbon Project (GCP), an international scientific collaboration of academics, governments, and industrial entities that seeks to quantify global carbon emissions and their causes. According to the report, global carbon emissions from fossil fuel and industry are expected to grow by 2.7 percent from 2017 to 2018, meaning that the world will spew some 40.9 billion tons of the substance this year, up from 39.8 ...

PressTV... Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday voiced support for Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro as he visited Moscow seeking financial assistance for the country. Putin at a meeting at his residence outside Moscow told Maduro "we support your efforts to achieve mutual understanding in society and all your actions aimed at normalizing relations with the opposition". Putin added that "naturally we condemn any actions that are clearly terrorist in nature, any attempts to change the situation by force." Hit by low oil prices and the impact of US sanctions, Maduro is seeking support from allies after winning a second presidential term this year. Maduro, who ...
(Switzerland) Basel to pay for armed security to protect Jewish institutions

The Swiss canton of Basel-Stadt is to take on the costs of employing security personnel to protect its Jewish institutions. The move will see the canton paying some 746,000 Swiss francs (€668,000) a year towards security for those institutions. This will allow Jewish communities in the canton to “significantly reduce” their security costs, according to cantonal authorities. Those costs for the IGB Jewish community alone are estimated at 460,000 francs a year. The canton’s decision comes in the context of a growing number of terrorist attacks on Jewish targets overseas and a push for more coordination between Swiss security agencies to defend minorities under threat, ...

To the neocons. "Welcome to the end of Trump’s presidency...He has become Bush the Lesser with arguably better hair." I knew there was something wrong with Donald Trump’s presidency the day he bombed the airbase at Al-Shairat in Syria. It was a turning point. I knew it was a mistake the moment he did it and argued as such at the time. No act by him was more contentious. It cost me hundreds of followers gained throughout the campaign who wanted to believe Trump was playing 4-D chess. My Periscopes went from being events to afterthoughts. Those that left needed to believe this because they had invested so much in him. They had to believe he was playing some deep ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Secretary of Iran's Human Rights Council Mohammad Javad Larijani argued that prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was a victim of internal conflicts and feuds between the US democrats and was killed only after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman received a green light from President Donald Trump. "Khashoggi had important information which was harmful to the US, including Trump and his family's economic relations with Mohammed bin Salman," Larijani said on Tuesday. He noted that US President Donald Trump had felt danger from the side of Khashoggi as American Democrats had decided to use his information to their benefits in election campaigns; ...

(Richard Drew/AP) Sunday, 02 December 2018 09:56 PM Nigeria's President Buhari on Sunday denied claims that he had died and been replaced by a Sudanese impostor, breaking his silence on a rumor that has circulated on social media for months. Buhari, who is running for re-election in February, spent five months in Britain last year being treated for an undisclosed illness. One theory widely aired on social media - and by some political opponents - was that he had been replaced by a lookalike from Sudan called ...

The biggest threats to America come from its "friends" One of the local Washington television stations was doing a typical early morning honoring our soldiers schtick just before Thanksgiving. In it soldiers stationed far from home were treated to videolinks so they could talk to their families and everyone could nod happily and wish themselves a wonderful holiday. Not really listening, I became interested when I half heard that the soldier being interviewed was spending his Thanksgiving in Ukraine. It occurred to me that the soldier just might have committed a security faux pas by revealing where he was, but I also recalled that there have been joint military maneuvers as well ...
Macron Cracks on Global Warming Tax to Try to Quash Violent Revolution

The elitist pervert Emmanuel Macron has stepped back from his stated policy of never doing what the population demands of him and has backed off of his global warming tax to attempt to slow a rising movement to violently overthrow the government. BBC: France’s PM has announced a six-month suspension of a fuel tax rise which has led to weeks of violent protests. Edouard Philippe said the measures would not be applied before proper debate had taken place with those affected. The protests have hit major French cities, causing considerable damage for the past three weekends. The “gilets jaunes” (yellow vests) protests have now grown to reflect more widespread anger at the ...
Hey, Mr. Trump! Tear Down That Deep State Wall – Of Secrecy

When the Donald promised to "drain the swamp" during the 2016 election campaign – it did sound vaguely like an attack on Big Government, and at least a directional desire to shrink the state and let free market capitalism breathe. After 22 months in office, however, the truth is patently obvious: The only Swamp that Donald Trump wants to drain is one filled with his political enemies and policy adversaries at any given moment in time. Even then, you have to consult his tweetstorm ledger to know exactly who the swamp creatures de jure actually are. Still, the Donald’s daily Twitter assaults on the Deep State are a wondrous thing. They surely do undermine public ...
Did President Poroshenko use a clash with Russia to try to shut down internal opposition?

At first glance, Russia’s seizure of three Ukrainian warships that attempted to enter the Sea of Azov seems to follow a familiar pattern of aggression aimed at solidifying control over the annexed Crimean peninsula. Upon closer inspection, however, there is much more going on here than a dispute over transit rights. By firing upon the Ukrainian vessels, Russia violated the December 2003 agreement on cooperative use of the Sea of Azov, which clearly provides for the unimpeded transit of both military and commercial ships of either country. This was immediately condemned by Washington and other Western capitals. But it is worth noting that this agreement is explicitly tied to the ...

India’s Agrarian Crisis: Father of Green Revolution Rejects GM Crops

Genetically modified (GM) cotton in India is a failure. India should reject GM mustard. And like the Green Revolution, GM agriculture poses risks and is unsustainable. Regulatory bodies are dogged by incompetency and conflicts of interest. GM crops should therefore be banned. You may have heard much of this before. But what is different this time is that the claims come from distinguished scientist P.C. Kesaven and his colleague M.S. Swaminathan, renowned agricultural scientist and geneticist and widely regarded as the father of the Green Revolution in India. Consider what campaigner and farmer Bhaskar Save wrote in his now famous open letter in 2006: “You, M.S. Swaminathan, are ...
There Is Suddenly A Far Bigger European Problem Than Brexit Or Italy

Forget Brexit and Italian populists for a second. It’s worth paying attention to what’s going on in France. For more than two weeks, the country has been disrupted by an unusual protest: the so-called “Gilets Jaunes” or “Yellow Vests.” France is used to labor unrest and chaos affecting transport of course, with strikes something of a national pastime. But this time it’s different. Some 100,000 people blocking toll roads, petrol stations and crossroads is creating major disruption to transport and retail. It’s also proving to be extremely tricky to defuse, as there’s no single protest leader to negotiate with. For investors, the question is ...

Economies Diverge, Police States Converge I have followed China’s development, its stunning advance in forty years from impoverished Third World to a huge economy, its rapid scientific progress. Coming from nowhere it now runs neck and neck with the US in supercomputes, does world-class work in genetic engineering and genomics (the Beijing Genomics Institute), quantum computing and quantum radar, in scientific publications. It lags in many things, but the speed of advance, the intense focus on progress, is remarkable.

On both sides of the Atlantic the regnant elites have launched a furious regime change campaign not all that different from the ones they started in the former Soviet republics. The formula seems to go like this: hold an election in which the full resources of the EU states and their upper classes are brought to bear on one side of the question. Vilify dissenters as more than likely agents of Vladimir Putin. On the British side the government of Prime Minister Theresa May, which has been all along pretending to be in favor the people’s decision to leave the EU, has effectively sabotaged the process with so many exceptions, amendments, other concessions to Brussels that they might as ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of the Marine Industries Organization of Iran General Amir Rastegari announced that subsurface-to-surface missiles have been mounted on the new home-made Qadir-class submarine, adding that many foreign states are willing to purchase the vessel.

General Rastegari said that Iran is capable of ...
