Soldier killed in Syria identified as 36-year-old from Texas Associated Press 13 hrs ago Members of the Kurdish internal security forces, right, pass next of damaged shops, at the scene where an explosion on Thursday hit a U.S.-led coalition vehicles, killing an American and a Briton soldiers, in Manbij town, north Syria, Saturday, March 31, 2018. The explosion on Thursday was the first to hit members of the U.S.-led coalition who have deployed to Manbij months after the town was liberated from Islamic State militants in 2016. An improvised explosive device went off during an operation against a known member of the Islamic State group in this mixed Arab and Kurdish town, the ...

Europe: My honor is solidarity! “That tells you all you need to know about the difference between modern Britain and the government of Vladimir Putin. They make Novichok, we make light sabers. One a hideous weapon that is specifically intended for assassination. The other an implausible theatrical prop with a mysterious buzz. But which of those two weapons is really more effective in the world of today?”. (Boris Johnson) Let’s begin this discussion with a few, basic questions. Question one: does anybody sincerely believe that “Putin” (the collective name for the Russian Mordor) really attempted to kill a man which “Putin” himself had released in the ...

H was born in Damascus, and legally immigrated to the United States from Syria more than 20 years ago, long before the current war began. She became a U.S. citizen and earned a doctor’s degree from an American university. She is completely fluent in both English and Arabic. She recently returned from a trip back to Syria, where she has many family members and friends who keep her apprised of the situation there. She is also one of the kindest and most devoted Christians I have ever met. I am keeping H’s name confidential, as I do not wish this interview to in any way jeopardize her family’s safety in Syria, or the status of her professional work in the U.S. I originally ...

Russia's Game-Changing Weapons That Were Not Mentioned In Putin's Speech

Russia's Game-Changing Weapons That Were Not Mentioned In Putin's Speech Not all of Russia’s game-changing weapons were mentioned in the president’s landmark speech that the mainstream media keep writing so much about. The president’s address simply could not include all the numerous breakthroughs in military technology Russia has achieved recently. Some cutting-edge systems exist but are not yet operational. A few are already part of the Russian arsenal, although in rather small numbers. But that’s just a start. Many achievements have flown under the media's radar and deserve more exposure. The information available from public sources is worth discussing ...
The end of nation states? Germans seeks EU federalization

This proposal would provide Brussels the power to impose policy and implement strategies that might otherwise face serious objection from some other EU members Imagine a Europe with no dissent. Imagine a large imperial powerhouse, commanding all of Europe. Imagine a Europe with the a single military force immediately ready for mobilization at a moment’s notice. Imagine a Europe wherein one centralized economic powerhouse dictates foreign and domestic policy without any pesky deliberation. If this brings to your mind Imperial Rome, you’d be wrong, but not all that far off the mark. It’s the new federalized Europe envisioned by France, Germany, Spain, the Swedes, and some ...

Things aren't looking good for Kenya right now-the country is literally splitting in two. Enormous rifts have opened within the ground, that stretch across a large chunk of Kenya's countryside. One such tear, located in Narok County, is 66 feet in length and as much as 50 feet deep at its lowest point. These rifts are causing a lot of trouble throughout the country, with commuters and supply trucks unable to travel safely without massive delays. One video that shows some of the devastation highlights an area of road that has to be filled in temporarily for the sake of keeping traffic flowing on a busy highway, but the solution is far from permanent, and only allows for a limited ...

Dozens Dead After 40 Schoolchildren Were Locked Inside Burning Movie Theater By Tim Pearce March 28, 2018 at 1:05pm Burials began Wednesday for the victims of a fire that tore through a mall in Siberia, killing dozens of children between the ages of ten and 13, the U.K. Daily Mail reports. The number of dead remains uncertain. Officials say 64 people died in Sunday’s fire. Local activists and families of the victims claim that number should be higher and that they have a list of 85 missing persons. Confusion in recording the names of the dead, which included many who shared surnames, and difficulty identifying bodies may have led to the discrepancy, a spokesman for the activists ...
US Admits "Doing The Planning" For Saudi Strikes In Yemen

In a new meeting with reporters, Defense Secretary James Mattis has offered new details about US involvement in the Saudi invasion of Yemen, providing specifics about what the US is doing that contradict long-standing claims of a very limited, non-combat involvement. Mattis now admits the US is “doing the planning” in Yemen strikes, and has shown the Saudis how the concept of a no-strike zone is supposed to work, and engaged in a maturing process of “battlefield management” intended to see Saudi strikes killing fewer civilians. Mattis also tried to spin the already established US involvement in mid-air refueling as beneficial for civilians being bombed. He warned ...

Regime Change, Partition, and “Sunnistan”: John Bolton’s Vision for a New Middle East

Bolton is likely to push for the creation of a new sectarian state out of Syrian and Iraqi territory, now that the groundwork has been laid and the path largely cleared to building a “new Middle East.” Iran is currently the only country in the region with the potential to foil that plan. This article is Part II of a series exploring the past of soon-to-be National Security Adviser John Bolton and what his appointment will mean for U.S. foreign policy, with a focus on the Middle East, Latin America, and the Koreas. Part I examined Bolton’s past advocacy for Israel, often at the U.S.’ expense. Part II details how that same commitment to Israel has shaped his vision for ...
For Bolton, the Slaughter of 1 Million Iraqis Is a Job Qualification

The illegal 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq has, thus far, left approximately 1 million Iraqis dead. That is roughly 5 percent of the total population of that country. If a foreign military superpower invaded and occupied the US and annihilated 5 percent of the total population here, that would be 16,300,000 dead US citizens. President Donald Trump's incoming national security adviser, John Bolton, still thinks the mass destruction of Iraq was a good idea. I witnessed the carnage firsthand in Iraq. I walked through freezers full of decayed bodies that were the detritus of Bolton's US empire project. "We are confident that Saddam Hussein has hidden weapons of mass ...
Peace and the Intellectuals: Trump’s Korea Initiative vs. ‘The Blob’
Post Date: 2018-03-30 07:39:05 by Ada

President Trump’s Korean peace initiative is the most significant US diplomatic effort since the end of the cold war: if successful, it means the end of an era in northern Asia. The Koreans realize this; the Chinese realize this; it’s only the American punditocracy that just doesn’t get it. There are a few reasons why they don’t get it: first, because intellectuals tend to think that the future is merely an extension of the past, only more so. Fascinated, intimidated, and one might almost say hypnotized by power, the intellectuals and the political class are hampered by their subjectivism, which was all too accurately diagnosed by George Orwell in his “Second ...
Trump: US Troops Leaving Syria ‘Very Soon’

State Dept denies any plans for troop withdrawal Speaking Thursday at a rally, President Trump said that the US is likely to pull troops out of Syria “very soon,” saying they’ll “let the other people take care of it now.” The US officially has around 2,000 troops in Syria. Trump told the rally that they are “knocking the hell out of ISIS,” and that the last of the ISIS territory is soon recovering. His presentation of this as the end of the US war in Syria is not in keeping with what other administration officials say, however. The Pentagon has been talking up new military goals in Syria for months on end, with Defense Secretary James Mattis saying ...

What civilization has ever sought to repudiate its own culture and traditions as we do today? Some 13 European thinkers issued an intellectual protest late last year against the assault on the Western heritage that has been raging on the Continent and in Britain for years. They called their 11-page document “The Paris Statement” and gave it a title: “A Europe We Can Believe In.” The Europe they believe in, write the 13 signatories (well-known in Europe, less so in America), is under threat of destruction from the forces of globalization, multiculturalism, and the EU managerial class, as well as growing anti-Christian prejudice. “These lands are our home,” ...
US-Made Missile Defenses Spectacularly Failed in Saudi Arabia

"It's nothing but an unbroken trail of disasters with this weapon system." "It's nothing but an unbroken trail of disasters with this weapon system," Theodore Postol, an MIT physicist and prominent critic of US missile defenses, told me. Rebel forces from the Houthi group, which has taken over much of Yemen in recent years, fired at least seven rockets at Saudi Arabia on the night of March 25. Saudi Arabia leads a coalition of Middle East countries battling the Houthis in Yemen. The Saudi military launched Patriot Advanced Capability-2 missiles in an attempt to destroy the Houthi rockets in mid-air. The Saudis claimed seven of the Patriots struck their ...
Welcome to Iraq War 3½

With the last of the ISIS-held territory in Iraq recaptured, Iraqi officials are cheerfully proclaiming the war is over. Pentagon’s commanders, who recognize that this is the third “end of the Iraq war” in just 15 years, are trying to spin it as a new phase in the continuing war. It makes sense for them to present it this way, US operations aren’t changing substantially. The troops are staying, which is unsurprising as the Pentagon was insisting from the start of this most recent buildup that the deployment was to be more or less permanent. So US officials want the public to view this more as the next phase of Iraq. Pentagon officials are upbeat that they are going ...

After Trump’s Threat of Military Action, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un Makes Historic Concession By Joe Setyon March 28, 2018 at 7:53am In a surprising shift of thought, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appears to be very much interested in diplomacy. Kim recently met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, and he is set to meet in April with South Korean President Moon Jae-in before speaking face-to-face with U.S. President Donald Trump the following month. As indicated by Business Insider, after years of attempting to build his country’s nuclear arsenal, Kim has come “out of the shadows to make history.” And it’s noteworthy that so many new ...

The Ecuadorian government has cut off Julian Assange's internet connection in its embassy in London. The Wikileaks founder has been holed up in the embassy since 2012 after being accused of rape in Sweden. Ecuador said it did so because his posts on social media risk damaging its relationship with the UK and the EU. Ecuador has cut off Julian Assange's internet connection in its embassy in Knightsbridge, London. The 46-year-old founder of publishing platform Wikileaks has lived in the Embassy since 2012, after taking refuge there to avoid extradition to Sweden over a rape allegation, which he denies. Assange maintains that if he went to Sweden to answer questions about the ...
