South Korean intelligence services say it is unlikely that, despite their claims and recent ‘testing’, North Korea does not have long range ICBM capabilities.(WASHINGTON) North Korea does not appear to have the technology to build intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) or have testing facilities for them, South Korean intelligence services said, referring to a recent long-range missile test Pyongyang claimed was successful."Although North Korea claimed that [the missile's] heat resistance was verified, whether it re-entered [the atmosphere safely] was not confirmed and the country has no relevant test facility, making it look like it has not secured the ...

China rebuked the United States and said that the U.S. needs to put more pressure on North Korea and to stop relying on China.China hit back on Tuesday in unusually strong terms at repeated calls from the United States to put more pressure on North Korea, urging a halt to what it called the "China responsibility theory", and saying all parties needed to pull their weight.U.S President Trump took a more conciliatory tone at a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday, but he has expressed some impatience that China, with its close economic and diplomatic ties to Pyongyang, is not doing enough to rein in North Korea.That feeling has become particularly acute since ...

BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:00 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched a big assault in the Golan Heights tonight, targeting Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham’s defenses at the town of Al-Samdaniyah Al-Gharbiyah. Backed by Liwaa Suqour Al-Quneitra and Fouj Al-Joulan of the National Defense Forces (NDF), the Syrian Arab Army attempted to advance west from the town of Al-Samdaniyah Al-Sharqiyah to nearby Al-Samdaniyah Al-Ghariyah. Despite targeting the Al-Qaeda linked rebels, the Syrian Arab Army found themselves under the watchful eye of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), as the latter’s military personnel and drones monitored the attack from afar.

In WWII the Americans nicknamed their M45 Quadmount — four 12,7mm machine guns designed for air defense — "meat chopper" and "Krautmower" for its utility in fighting enemy foot soldiers.

June 29, 2017Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee introduced the amendment during budget markups. The GOP-controlled committee adopted the measure in a surprise move.The House Appropriations Committee on Thursday took a huge step toward dialing down American military involvement in the Middle East by including a repeal of the 2001 Authorization of the Use of Military Force (AUMF) that had provided the legal justification for the United States’ 16-year “War on Terrorism.”The amendment, introduced by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-TX), would repeal the AUMF “240 days after the date of the enactment” of the Defense Appropriations Bill. A room full of "wow"s after ...

Sypers It’s now official, the Syrian military has unchallenged control over the Syrian-Iraqi nexus-point at Al-Dhulay’aat on the outskirts of Hameema Village. Attacking ISIS from the Third Oil Station to the Second Oil Station, the army has done what nobody expected which is to block any attempt by the American-supported cannibals at Al-Tanf to move northward and establish a rump state designed to impede Iran’s effort to extend its natural gas pipeline all the way to Syria’s coast. The army, as you all know now, has cleared out all obstacles in the way of the Baghdad-Damascus Highway, essential to moving weapons from Iran to Syria, and, provocatively, to HZB. As I write ...
Op-Ed Trump is setting up his generals as fall guys for Afghanistan
Post Date: 2017-06-29 06:24:22 by Ada

In David Michôd’s lacerating new movie “War Machine,” Brad Pitt plays Gen. Glen McMahon, the latest in a long line of generals to preside over America’s war in Afghanistan. As he prepares to assume command, McMahon declares his firm intention to “win this thing.” Wars exist to be won and generals exist to do the winning. McMahon (a thinly fictionalized version of real-life Gen. Stanley McChrystal) fervently adheres to this quaint view. So too, do many ordinary Americans. Faith in generals provides an excuse to avoid thinking seriously about war. Count President Trump among those who apparently share in that faith. As a business executive (and reality ...

“Most terrorists are false flag terrorists or are created by our own security services. In the United States, every single terrorist incident we have had has been a false flag or has been an informant pushed on by the FBI. In fact, we now have citizens taking out restraining orders against FBI informants that are trying to incite terrorism. We’ve become a lunatic asylum.” – David Steele, the second-highest ranking civilian in the U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence and a former CIA clandestine services officer (source) It’s a term we hear so often these days, ‘false flag terrorism.’ What is it?

RT... Afghanistan is “at a critical point” in its battle against multiple insurgencies and terrorist groups, the Pentagon has said in a new report to Congress. It also reveals that US and Afghan authorities are seeking peace through talks with the Taliban. Sixteen years after the US-led invasion aimed at overthrowing the Taliban and denying a safe haven to Al-Qaeda – the group blamed for 9/11 terrorist attacks – Afghanistan is facing a “continuing threat” from as many as 20 insurgent and terrorist networks, in what the US Department of Defense called “the highest concentration of extremist and terrorist groups in the world.” That is one of the ...
Globalists Using Donald Trump To Take America Into War

By Chuck BaldwinOne thing globalist Republicans and Democrats both love is WAR. They might squabble over social and domestic issues, but when it comes to war, the two parties are ONE. As I have said repeatedly, there is really only ONE party in Washington, D.C.: the War Party. And “outsider” Donald Trump has quickly mastered the presidential art of killing. Let’s face it: our federal government has become one of the bloodiest regimes in world history. Between the killing of unborn babies and the killing of men, women, and children around the world in our so-called war on terror, the U.S. government is an insatiable, sadistic killing machine. And all of the talk about ...
Escalation in Syria: US Shoots Down Iranian Drone

RI... The US has decided that its self-declared "de-confliction zone" in southeastern Syria is under grave threat—and that any aircraft approaching it must be annihilated. This is basically the reason the Pentagon gave for downing an Iranian-made armed drone "just outside" the 55 kilometer "de-confliction zone" around al-Tanf. So much for de-escalation in Syria. First on CNN: US F-15 shot down a 2nd Iranian made drone near At Tanf, Syria Monday. Armed drone was assessed to pose a threat to US forces — Ryan Browne (@rabrowne75) June 20, 2017 advertisement Not surprisingly, the US seems to blame Russia for the incident, suggesting that the ...

PressTV... Australia has suspended its cooperation with a United States-led coalition in Syria out of apparent concern that the US’s recent downing of a Syrian fighter jet may escalate the situation in the Arab country to its disadvantage. “As a precautionary measure, Australian Defence Force (ADF) strike operations into Syria have temporarily ceased,” an ADF spokeswoman said in a statement on Tuesday. No reason was given for the suspension, but The Australian newspaper said it was implemented as a precaution after the Syrian jet’s downing. “ADF personnel are closely monitoring the air situation in Syria and a decision on the resumption of ADF air operations in ...

An alternative WWII history invokes 'moral injury' in context of Pacific War. It’s been more than 15 years since the start of the Afghanistan War and already the horrors of the ground combat there and in Iraq appear at an increasingly “safe” distance in the American psyche. Sure, on sanctioned holidays and Marine Corps Marathons the visage of the wounded warrior is wheeled—or with advanced prosthetics, marched—out to serve as a sanitized reminder. But the really dark stuff, what they did and what they’ve seen, not to mention the consequent suicides, the often irrevocable psychological damage, are receding into the past—somewhere between ...

Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has some constructive criticism for the Pentagon The United States is FedExing 4,000 more troops to Afghanistan, because if there's one thing that the last fifteen years of occupation has shown, it's that US troops and Afghanistan go together like peas and carrots. It would be easy for an armchair warrior to criticize Washington's strategy in Afghanistan, except there is no strategy—meaning there's nothing to criticize. As Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova correctly pointed out during a Moscow press briefing earlier this week, "[The US has] no strategy and no concept, but they ...

One of the most interesting bromides to enter the American political lexicon after the 9/11 attacks has been the line that Americans have been taught to say to American soldiers: “Thank you for your service.” Yet, hardly anyone ever makes a critical examination of what exactly the “service” for which they are expressing gratitude actually consists. It’s just automatically assumed that the service consists of “defending our country” or “protecting our rights and freedom.” My hunch is that when the bromide is expressed, most people have in mind Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s because oftentimes the bromide is accompanied by a reference to the ...
Syrian Army Boxing in US Forces in Southern Syria Came as a Shock -- Defense Secretary Mattis

RI... The Pentagon was taken aback by how suddenly and quickly it was presented with a fait accompli east of al-Tanf When last Friday Russian Ministry of Defense announced that Syrian forces had broken through to the Iraqi border and enveloped the US forces in southern Syria this came as a shock to us here at RI. Not because this was some move nobody could see coming. Anyone who can read a map could see that a Syrian advance to the east of US positions at al-Tanf base would effectively neutralize it. I spelled out as much a week before the Syrian offensive took place: The obvious play for the Russian-backed Syrians is to neutralize Americans at al-Tanf by giving their base a 55 ...

Terrorism supporters in Washington and Riyadh close ranks against Qatar The United States has been using lies to go to war since 1846, when Americans who believed in manifest destiny sought to expand to the Pacific Ocean at the expense of Mexico, acquiring by force of arms California and what were to become the southwestern states. In 1898 the U.S. picked up the pieces of a dying Spanish Empire in a war that was driven by American imperialists and the yellow dog reporting of the Hearst Newspaper chain. And then came World War 1, World War 2, and Korea, all avoidable and all enabled by deliberate lying coming out of Washington. More recently, we have seen Vietnam with its Gulf of Tonkin ...
