Across the Middle East, countries banned from purchasing armed drones from the US due to a weapons embargo are increasingly gravitating towards Chinese defense manufacturers, according to a new report from the Associated Press, sales that "are helping expand Chinese influence across a region vital to American security interests." "The Chinese product now doesn’t lack technology, it only lacks market share," said Song Zhongping, a Chinese military strategist and former lecturer at the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force University of Engineering. "And the United States restricting its arms exports is precisely what gives China a great ...
US Switching to Ukraine as Location to Start World War III Against Russia

The United States Government is now treating Ukraine as if it were a NATO member, and on September 27th donated to Ukraine two warships for use against Russia. This is the latest indication that the US is switching to Ukraine as the locale to start World War III, and from which the nuclear war is to be sparked against Russia, which borders Ukraine. Here is why Syria is no longer the US alliance’s preferred choice as a place to start WW III: On September 4th, US President Donald Trump publicly threatened Syria, Iran and Russia that if they exterminated the jihadists in Syria’s only remaining jihadist-controlled province, Idlib, then the US might launch a full-scale invasion ...

A contract for the delivery of five S-400 systems, one of Russia’s most advanced anti-aircraft weapons, has been signed between Moscow and New Delhi, the Kremlin has confirmed. India signed a $5.43 billion deal to purchase five advanced S-400 surface-to-air missile systems from Russia, defying threats of potential sanctions from Washington. The deal was finalized after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in New Delhi. The advanced air defense system can defend against different kinds of cruise and ballistic missiles. China was the first foreign nation to purchase S-400 systems. With its S-400 purchase, India now risks being ...

PressTV... The general overseeing the US military’s involvement in the Middle East has said the United States is not “on the road to war with Iran,” despite the fact that some Trump administration officials have stepped up rhetoric against Tehran. "I don't think we're seeking to go to war with Iran, and I don't think that's what we're focused on," General Joseph Votel, who heads the US Central Command, told Pentagon reporters on Thursday. Trump has been clear Tehran needs to "cease its destabilizing behavior and policy that spreads violence and human misery throughout the Middle East," Votel said. "The principle way that we are ...

In June this year in Itoman, a city in Okinawa prefecture, Japan, a 14-year-old girl named Rinko Sagara read out of a poem based on her great-grandmother’s experience of World War II. Rinko’s great-grandmother reminded her of the cruelty of war. She had seen her friends shot in front of her. It was ugly. Okinawa, a small island on the edge of southern Japan, saw its share of war from April to June 1945. “The blue skies were obscured by the iron rain,” wrote Rinko Sagara, channeling the memories of her great-grandmother. The roar of the bombs overpowered the haunting melody from the sanshin, Okinawa’s snakeskin-covered three-string guitar. “Cherish each ...

This Is What Really Killed The Famous Swimming Pigs A recent influx of tourism to the Bahamas–but not alcohol–is likely behind the deaths of several of the animals, a popular attraction. Swimming Pigs Rule This Tropical Island By Delaney Ross PUBLISHED March 4, 2017 The Bahamas are famous for sun, sand—and swimming pigs. Seven of the feral animals, which are popular as a tourist attraction, have been found dead on Big Major Cay, one of the islands, according to the Bahamas Humane Society. The death toll may be up to 10, which leaves eight or nine of the famous swine remaining—only a handful of which are adults. Though initial reports suggested that ...
Trump's Crazy-Stupid Ambassador to NATO Must Resign NOW!

Threatening a preemptive strike in Russia?? What the heck is that?? How crazy-stupid do you have to be to get up there on the podium and openly threaten Russia with a “preemptive” first strike? You don’t have to be Kay Bailey Hutchison, but it helps. Our “Ambassador” to NATO – as if NATO is an actual country rather than a supra-national parasite – claims that Moscow is in violation of the INF treaty, and that, while she’s willing to give diplomacy a try, she is “prepared to consider a military strike if development of the medium-range system continued.” So now the “Ambassador” to NATO is empowered to start World War III.

Is there any hope in the Western World that individual citizens can win some release from the relentless and imprisoning growth of government? In the US, government spending, a reasonable proxy for their power over us, increases every year, except for a few minor blips. The citizens’ situation becomes more and more dire. We have precious little say and little influence over our taxes, our health care, our energy and water supplies and costs, not to mention the social rules with which the government constrains us. The number of rules and regulations, using the proxy of pages in the Federal Register, also increases every year, and very few rules are removed. The government closes in on ...

b> US seeks to avoid dispute resolution with Palestinians Seeking to avoid complying with the consequences of previously-signed treaties, the US announced that they are outright withdrawing from multiple agreements today. This included the 1955 Treaty of Amity with Iran, and the 1961 Optional Protocol to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, Concerning the Compulsory Settlement of Disputes. The 1955 Treaty of Amity was a little known treaty signed by the US and Iran after the 1953 CIA coup. The treaty was cited in an Iranian lawsuit aiming to prevent parts of US sanctions being enforced, and Iran won that lawsuit on Wednesday. It is unclear if the 1955 treaty was really that ...
Donald Trump Must Go to North Korea Now

While that might seem premature and perhaps a little unhinged, follow my logic for a moment. Nearly a year ago to the day, I sat down with a senior Pentagon official at a coffee shop near Dupont Circle. I asked him where he thought the North Korea crisis would go next. Pyongyang had just detonated a hydrogen bomb earlier in the month, an event that was still fresh in our minds. “War. Make that a nuclear war,” the official said. “One-hundred percent. Millions are going to die. And our world will never be the same.” I nearly spit my coffee out. I wasn’t reacting to his dire prediction, though it was scary for sure. I was reacting because I agreed with him—100 ...

PressTV... The US believes Russia is developing capacity to launch a nuclear strike on Europe at short notice. Any attempt by the United States to take out Russian cruise missile systems would lead to a larger military confrontation between the two nuclear powers, says an analyst. "This is a very extreme situation that could lead to World War III," American writer and academic James Petras told Press TV on Tuesday after Washington’s ambassador to NATO warned Russia to halt development of a banned cruise missile system or the US would seek to destroy it before it becomes operational. "At that point, we would be looking at the capability to take out a [Russian] missile ...

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is International Business Editor of The Daily Telegraph. He has covered world politics and economics for 30 years, based in Europe, the US, and Latin America. He joined the Telegraph in 1991, serving as Washington correspondent and later Europe correspondent in Brussels. Twenty-three years ago I crossed swords with a younger Brett Kavanaugh in one of the weirdest and most disturbing episodes of my career as a journalist. What happened leaves me in no doubt that he lacks judicial character and is unfit to serve on the US Supreme Court for the next thirty years or more, whatever his political ideology. He was not a teenager. It related to his duties in the ...

The UN's top court ordered the United States Wednesday to suspend sanctions on "humanitarian" goods for Iran in a stunning setback for US President Donald Trump. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) handed down the bombshell judgement after Iran asked it to halt economic measures that Trump reimposed after pulling out of a landmark nuclear deal with Tehran. Judges in The Hague unanimously ruled that the sanctions on some goods breached a 1955 "friendship treaty" between Iran and the US that predates Iran's Islamic Revolution. "The court finds unanimously that... the United States of America... shall remove by means of its choosing any impediments ...

Russian President Vladimir Putin supports weaning the country’s financial sector off the US dollar, VTB Bank head Andrey Kostin told RIA Novosti. He added the move doesn’t mean the complete phasing-out of the American currency. The idea of de-dollarizing the Russian economy has been actively discussed in the country lately due to the tightening of US sanctions. In July, Kostin, who is president and chairman of the management board of Russia’s second largest bank VTB, submitted a suite of proposals to move away from the greenback and further promote the Russian ruble in international settlements. His plan consists of four major steps. Read more © Dado Ruvic Russia ...

In 1995 the clock was at fourteen minutes to midnight, but the opportunity to set it back even further was lost as the United States and its European allies took advantage of a weakened Russia to advance NATO into Eastern Europe, setting the stage for a new cold war, which is now underway. It is difficult to imagine how the United States might avoid a new war in the Middle East given the recent statements ...

Kerry McKinnon discovered one morning that her dog, Asha, was snuggled up to a tiny baby koala, who appeared to be alone. McKinnon believes that Asha saved the koala's life. Overnight temperatures in Strathdownie at this time of year can dip to almost freezing, and the koala would likely not have survived on its own. After making sure the koala was healthy, McKinnon passed it along to a koala carer, who is looking after it ...
