UN Wants Enhanced UN Peacekeeping Operations Serving Its Interests

US wants Enhanced UN Peacekeeping Operations Serving Its Interests by Stephen Lendman So-called Blue Helmets don’t operate as officially mandated - “help(ing) countries torn by conflict create conditions for sustainable peace.” Their deployments aren’t benevolent. They don’t restore order, maintain peace or provide for the needs of local populations. Nor do they build confidence, enforce power sharing agreements, provide electoral support, aid reconstruction, uphold the rule of law, or help efforts toward economic and social development. They’re imperial enforcers. They do more harm than good. They serve monied interests, not popular ones. Their mission ...

Russia to Veto UN Resolution for US-Controlled MH17 Tribunal by Stephen Lendman A veto may have been cast when this article is read. Moscow opposes a US proposed rigged process - suppressing evidence of its culpability and Kiev’s in downing MH17, pointing fingers the wrong way, a longstanding imperial practice. The whole world SHOULD know neither Russia or Donbass freedom fighters downed MH17, killing all passengers and crew members aboard during flight over Southeastern Ukraine’s war zone. Accusations otherwise are tiresome Big Lies. They wore thin long ago. Kiev and Washington bear full responsibility for what happened - a thinly veiled scheme to wrongfully blame Russia and ...

Balkanizing Syria Planned by Stephen Lendman Longstanding US/Israeli plans call for redrawing the Middle East map - including balkanizing Iraq and Syria along with installing regional puppets serving Western/Zionist interests. The ugly scheme involves endless wars - killing millions through violence and deprivation. Imperialism works this way - causing unspeakable human misery for power, resource control and profit. America, key NATO allies, Israel and rogue Arab states like Saudi Arabia are allied in potentially embroiling the entire region and beyond in endless conflicts - wanting regime change in Iran, Syria and elsewhere. Washington wants all independent governments replaced by ...

He Was Trained by American & Russian Special Forces – Now He’s Pledged His Allegiance to ISIS After disappearing in late April, a Tajikistan special forces counter terror unit commander recently resurfaced in an ISIS propaganda film, pledging his allegiance to the Islamic State. The commander, Gulmurod Khalimov, is Tajikistan’s highest-ranking military member to join the Islamic terror group to-date. In the video, Khalimov claims to have trained with Russian special forces in Moscow as well as American special forces in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. At one point, he boasts about receiving specialized training from U.S. private security contractor, Blackwater in North ...
Assad Vows to Defend Syria's Homeland

Assad Vows to Defend Syria’s Homeland by Stephen Lendman Syria is one of many direct and proxy wars Obama continues waging - breaching his campaign pledge to restore peace. His agenda is polar opposite - raping, pillaging and destroying one country after another, new targets always in mind, perhaps directly confronting Russia and/or China before leaving office. Bodies piling up worldwide attest to his barbarity - a rogue leader risking global conflict, even nuclear confrontation, influenced by neocons infesting his administration and Congress - deploring peace, wanting endless wars. On Sunday, Assad addressed officials and members of public organizations, vocational syndicates, as ...

Saudis Keep Bombing Yemen After Declaring 5-Day Halt by Stephen Lendman Four months of US-orchestrated, Saudi-led terror bombing along with imported takfiri terrorists and other pro-Western elements waging ground war left thousands of Yemenis dead (mostly civilians deliberately targeted), many more thousands wounded, and an unprecedented humanitarian disaster, according to ICRC officials. Last week, Riyadh announced a five-day humanitarian ceasefire beginning Sunday night local time - while it continues blocking most aid from entering the country. Its goal along with Washington’s is starving Yemenis into submission. So-called humanitarian pauses are farcical when announced - thinly ...
Unprecedented Human Suffering in Yemen

Unprecedented Human Suffering in Yemen by Stephen Lendman Yemen is Obama’s war - planned months before conflict began, using Saudi and other regional rogue state partners as proxies, doing America’s dirty work, wanting Yemen returned to US client state status at the expense of thousands of mostly civilian deaths so far (many more than officially reported) and unprecedented human suffering, according to the ICRC. It issued a press release expressing alarm over intensified conflict, saying: “The suffering of the civilian population has reached unprecedented levels. More than 100 days into the crisis, severe shortages of water, food and fuel continue across the country, ...

July 24, 2015 | 10:05 am In the wake of events in Ukraine, NATO has turned its attention towards countries that border the Russian Federation — attempting to boost its quick-response capabilities in Europe. In September, the alliance agreed to create a 5,000-strong rapid reaction Spearhead Force, which will be capable of deploying across the continent within 48-hours of a military incursion. VICE News joined several thousand NATO troops in western Poland, for the first deployment test of the "Very High Readiness Joint Task Force."According to the premise of the exercise, Poland and the Baltics were under threat from the fictional state of "Bothnia" — a master ...

Phony Claims About Syria Retaining Chemical Weapons by Stephen Lendman Since Obama began waging proxy on war in Syria in March 2011, numerous false charges about Assad using chemical weapons followed - discredited by verifiable facts on the ground. Clear evidence of imported takfiri terrorists using banned toxic agents was systematically covered up - even after Saudi Arabia was caught red-handed supplying sarin gas and other chemical toxins to anti-Assad elements. Barrels containing banned chemicals were found marked "Made in KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)." Protective masks were found. So were drugs used when inhaling chemicals. On June 17, 2015, the Organization for the ...

New York Times Editors Still Outrageously Blame Russia for Kiev's Downing MH17 The Times is a notorious lying machine - suppressing hard truths, proliferating state propaganda, deplorable managed news misinformation and Big Lies. Neither Russia or Donbass freedom fighters had anything to do with downing MH17. One or more Kiev junta warplanes destroyed it - either with cannon fire or an air-to-air missile. Evidence available so far suggests no other possibility. Most important is what could Russia or Donbass rebels hope to gain by downing a civilian aircraft unrelated to ongoing conflict, killing everyone on board? Nothing whatever! Washington, its Western partners and US-installed ...

Unrelenting Iran Bashing by Stephen Lendman The Iran nuclear deal made little difference in longstanding US/Tehran relations. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi is right saying US behavior toward the Islamic Republic won't change. It remain irresponsibly hostile. Washington tolerates no independent governments. It wants dominion over planet earth - its nations, markets, resources and populations with all challengers to its imperial project eliminated by color revolutions or war. US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter visited Israel before heading to Jordan and Saudi Arabia. He assured Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Secretary Moshe Ya'alon Washington remains firm ...

Lt. Col. Danny Davis earned a reputation for fierce truth-telling on Afghanistan; can he make the civilian transition? By • July 17, 2015 He bucked the generals, how bad could retirement be? Lt. Col. Daniel L. Davis served the Army for 30 years, earning a reputation in the latter stage of his career as a fierce critic of American conduct of the war in Afghanistan as well as the generals who misled Americans about their failures. Davis is leaving for the civilian asphalt jungle this summer, but finding a civilian outlet for his unyielding truth-telling could pose a challenge. Davis will not join the officers who retire in Washington in order to belly up to the defense industry, ...

US-Supported Kiev Aggression on Donbass Escalated by Stephen Lendman Kiev junta officials want war, not peace. They want illegitimate fascist rule hardened - with no recognized democratic pockets. Local autonomy is strictly forbidden despite mandated under Minsk ceasefire terms. Rebel fighters continue showing good faith efforts for peace and stability. Despite obvious threats, they'll withdraw heavy weapons from frontline positions - in place to deter junta aggression. A statement was issued saying "(t)o show our commitment to the Minsk agreements, we are ready to make the next step towards peace. For that, (we'll) pull back our units with tanks and armored vehicles, ...

The Great Satan by Stephen Lendman No nation deserves this designation more than America - the world's leading global menace. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is right condemning it. US policies speak for themselves. They include: • waging endless direct and proxy wars of aggression against invented enemies threatening no one; • risking WW III by recklessly challenging Russia and China; • imposing illegal sanctions on targeted countries unilaterally or jointly with other Western nations bullied to go along (what only the Security Council is authorized to do); • serving monied interests exclusively at the expense of popular ones; • allying with many of the ...

Victoria Nuland Threatens Russia by Stephen Lendman She's one of many neocon lunatics infesting Washington. She was Hillary Clinton's hand-picked choice for Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. She wrecked Ukraine. Maybe she has starting WW III in mind. In an interview on Ukrainian TV, she said if war on its territory escalates, "the costs will go up" for Russia - economically and militarily. "As you know, the sanctions that the international community has put in place - that the US and the EU have in place - are there to change the policy of Russia, to encourage it to fulfill its obligations." "We’ve made clear that they ...

Britain Covertly Bombing Syria by Stephen Lendman In August 2013, UK parliamentarians rejected military intervention in Syria - voting 285 - 272 against it. At the time, Prime Minister David Cameron said voting reflected popular sentiment. "(T)he government will act accordingly." He lied. On July 17, the UK-based human rights group Reprieve reported UK pilots bombing Syria - despite Cameron's earlier pledge not to and recent claim about refraining from intervention without parliamentary approval, illegal whenever authorized without Security Council approval. Documents Reprieve obtained through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to Britain's Defense Ministry ...

Why you’ll always lose wars with drones alone

Japan Times...LONDON – The U.S.-led air campaign against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria is having a devastating effect on the insurgent forces. That is, if you believe the Pentagon’s continuing tally of destroyed and damaged vehicles, facilities and troop formations. But the official statistics are meaningless. Because U.S. pilots are flying blind. To a great extent, they don’t know what — if anything — they’re hitting. More so than in any recent conflict, American aviators soaring over Iraq and Syria rely on remote-controlled drones to spot targets for them. This is one consequence of President Barack Obama’s policy barring U.S. ground troops ...
