"If the United States and South Korea harm the strategic security interests of countries in the region including China, then they are destined to pay the price for this and receive a proper counter attack," the paper added, without elaborating. BEIJING (Reuters) - The United States and South Korea are destined to "pay the price" for their decision to deploy an advanced missile defense system which will inevitably prompt a "counter attack", China's top newspaper said on Saturday. Tension on the Korean peninsula has been high this year, beginning with North Korea's fourth nuclear test in January, which was followed by a satellite launch, a string of ...
Russia Ramping Up Its Aerial Campaign in Syria

Russia Ramping Up Its Aerial Campaign in Syria by Stephen Lendman In March, Russia withdrew the “main part” of its warplanes and ground support personnel from Syria - a strategic error, US-supported terrorists taking full advantage to regroup, rearm and mobilize for more attacks. At the time, Putin said “I think that the tasks set (by) the defense ministry are generally fulfilled… With the participation of Russia’s military, Syrian troops and patriotic forces…turn(ed) the tide in the fight against international terrorism and took the initiative on practically all directions.” His remarks proved premature, recognized when Russia’s aerial campaign ...
Syrian UN Envoy Straight Talk

Syrian UN Envoy Straight Talk by Stephen Lendman Explaining conflict in Syria is simple. The pattern repeats time and again. It’s hard understanding why everyone doesn’t know by now. There’s no ambiguity about it. I’ve explained many times. Washington tolerates no sovereign independent nations, ones it doesn’t control. Wars, color revolutions and coups (a color revolution variant) are strategies used to transform them into US vassal states. Post-9/11, America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq with large numbers of US troops, its so-called coalition allies pressed to deploy their own - daring not refuse or risk regime change targeting them. US strategy changed with ...

Has anyone Ever Spotted a Moderate Rebel in Syria? by Stephen Lendman Nobody has because none exist - why it’s impossible separating them from terrorists. They’re all cut from the same extremist jihadist cloth - imported US death squads, serving as imperial foot soldiers. So why does Russia maintain the myth otherwise? More importantly, why does it waste time negotiating with its sworn enemy bent on destroying its sovereignty, wanting its democratically elected government toppled, replaced by a puppet regime America controls? Why does it engage in endless talks with Washington, knowing they accomplish nothing. Even when agreements are reached, US policymakers under all ...
Russia Challenging US Imperial Aims in Syria

Russia Challenging US Imperial Aims in Syria by Stephen Lendman Russia’s intervention last September changed the dynamic on the ground, letting government forces retake territory lost earlier. They’re making progress toward winning the strategically important battle for Aleppo, a likely game- changer if achieved. Obama launched war for regime change, wanting Assad replaced with US controlled puppet governance. The objective remains unchanged. What’s unknown is how much risk his successor will take to achieve what remains out of reach. Everything Washington tried so far failed. The one remaining option is upping the ante, escalating conflict, maybe unilaterally imposing a ...

US Instigated Cold War 2.0 Risks Getting Hot by Stephen Lendman Intense Russia bashing largely directed at Vladimir Putin seems heading inexorably toward open conflict - unthinkable war between the world’s leading nuclear powers, humanity’s fate up for grabs if instigated. Putin and Sergey Lavrov are the world’s preeminent peace and stability advocates, deploring war, wanting geopolitical disputes resolved diplomatically, notably in Syria and Ukraine, dangerous world flashpoints because of US imperial madness. America systematically undermines Russia’s best conflict resolution efforts, wanting war, not peace, disgracefully blaming Putin for US high crimes and ...

US Neocons Promote Escalated War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Earlier this week, I discussed Syria with a retired 92-year-old academic neighbor in my building. We both expressed dismay about the human species, its flawed nature, nowhere more evident than in America - a nation permanently at war, raping one country after another, advanced technology making its super-weapons increasingly destructive, its leadership not shy about using them to achieve its goals. Without challenging and stopping Washington’s reckless agenda, its pursuit of world dominance, the threat of humanity’s extinction remains frighteningly real. We both shook our heads, wondering what type future youths in ...

Kerry Blames Russia and Syria for US High Crimes by Stephen Lendman Here’s an easy, simple to understand and remember definition of a rogue state: the United States of America. None now or earlier matched its viciousness, ongoing globally with plans for wars from space, almost certain eventual nuclear war if the world community doesn’t challenge and stop its reckless agenda. No one anywhere is safe from its rage for dominance, using premeditated wars of aggression as its main geopolitical strategy, supplemented by color revolutions, at times coup d’etats the way Brazil’s democracy was lost, the same thing against Honduras and Paraguay on Obama’s watch, Haiti ...

Russia Calls War in Syria “A US-Controlled International Terrorist Alliance” by Stephen Lendman Anyone paying attention to war on Syria, following reliable independent sources for credible information, avoiding media scoundrel propaganda, knows the conflict is Obama’s war, using terrorists as imperial foot soldiers, supported by Pentagon-led “coalition” air power. On Thursday, Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman General Igor Konashenkov blasted State Department spokesman admiral John Kirby’s scurrilous remark, suggesting (US-supported) extremists could launch “attacks against Russian interests, perhaps even Russian cities…(its) troops (sent) ...

America Headed for War on Russia by Stephen Lendman America’s reckless imperial agenda should terrify everyone, a permanent war policy targeting all nations not serving its interests, wanting pro-Western puppet regimes replacing them - willing to risk destroying planet earth to own it. Imperial madness may kill us all, especially if neocons infesting Washington wage war on Russia, likely with nuclear weapons if launched - a possible doomsday scenario if militantly anti-Russia/war goddess/she-devil Hillary succeeds Obama, humanity’s greatest threat. Syria is the world’s most dangerous flashpoint, a classic good v. evil struggle, pitting Russia wanting the nation freed from ...

NYT Reinvents Reality in Aleppo by Stephen Lendman Liberating Syria from the scourge of US-supported terrorists requires winning the battle for Aleppo, a vital strategic prize. Washington is concerned because it’s incrementally happening, Syrian forces retaking parts of the city long held by US-backed terrorists - Russian aerial support making the difference, essential to continue without letup until the entire city and surrounding areas are free from its terrorist infestation. The campaign deserves universal support. Syria’s future depends on its success - why Washington arrogantly threatens to cease (largely nonexistent) cooperation with Russia unless it halts bombing Aleppo ...

Kerry Blames Russia for US Crimes in Syria by Stephen Lendman Obama and neocons infesting his administration bear full responsibility for war on Syria, rogue state partners in high crimes sharing it. ISIS and other terrorists wouldn’t be involved if America and complicit allies hadn’t deployed them there in the first place - all of the above and much more what media scoundrels never report. John Kerry is a despicable character, an unindicted war criminal like his predecessors - notably Hillary Clinton. His spokesman admiral John Kirby said he spoke to Sergey Lavrov on Thursday morning by phone, Kirby saying: “Secretary Kerry expressed grave concern over the deteriorating ...

Russia Irresponsibly Blamed for Ukraine’s Downing of MH17 by Stephen Lendman The whole world knows, or should, that neither Russia nor Donbass freedom fighters had anything to do with downing MH17 two years ago, killing all passengers and crew members aboard. The most obvious question goes unanswered. Cui bono? For sure not Russia nor freedom fighters, refusing to accept fascist rule. What strategic benefit could they possibly gain by downing a commercial airliner unrelated to ongoing conflict? None, of course. Clearly, Washington, NATO and Ukraine benefitted greatly, more grist for their illegal sanctions regime, another phony pretext to vilify Putin, risking eventual East/West ...

Hollow NYT Lament for Suffering Aleppo Children by Stephen Lendman Throughout years of conflict in Syria, Times reports consistently failed to explain Obama’s responsibility for waging naked aggression against a nonbelligerent nation - orchestrated by Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. Instead it disgracefully blames Assad and Russia for high crimes committed by America, its rogue partners and terrorist foot soldiers. What’s most important to report is verboten on its pages - virtual Obama administration and Pentagon press releases on issues of war, peace and other geopolitical issues. Civilians suffer most in all wars, especially young children, many traumatized longterm, ...

8:00 AM PDT 9/28/2016 by Ingrid Schmid Oscar winners, sports stars and Bill Gates are building lavish bunkers — with amenities ranging from a swimming pool to a bowling alley — as global anxiety fuels sales and owners "could be the next Adam and Eve." Given the increased frequency of terrorist bombings and mass shootings and an under-lying sense of havoc fed by divisive election politics, it's no surprise that home security is going over the top and hitting luxurious new heights. Or, rather, new lows, as the average depth of a new breed of safe haven that occupies thousands of square feet is 10 feet under or more. Those who can afford to pull out all the stops for ...

Neocon US War Secretary Ashton Carter’s Chilling Speech on Nuclear Deterrence by Stephen Lendman Paul Craig Roberts believes US nuclear war on Russia is likely if Hillary succeeds Obama. Carter’s September 26 Minot, ND nuclear missile base speech suggests it - perhaps a shot across the bow toward where we’re heading, a chilling hint of a possible doomsday scenario ahead. America has no enemies - none since imperial Japan formally surrendered to US forces in August 1945. Yet along with a continuing post-9/11 state of emergency, it maintains a permanent state of war, waged in multiple theaters, entirely against invented adversaries - Russia, China and Iran on its target list ...

The U.S. Army has dropped Smith & Wesson from its Modular Handgun System competition, according to a Sept. 23 report Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation made to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Smith & Wesson, which was partnered with General Dynamics, was one of five gun makers competing to replace the Army’s M9 9mm pistol. “We and our partner in the pursuit of the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System, or MHS, solicitation to replace the M9 standard Army sidearm have been notified by the Department of the Army that our proposal was not selected to advance to the next phase of the competition,” according to the SEC report.

US Supports Terrorists in Syria, Says Al-Nusra Unit Commander by Stephen Lendman It’s no surprise to readers of my articles throughout the conflict, begun in March 2011, weeks after US-led NATO began terror-bombing Libya, transforming North Africa’s most developed country into a cauldron of endless violence and chaos. Obama launched war on Syria, deceptively calling it civil, using terrorists as proxy foot soldiers - arming, funding, training and directing them, teaching them the fine art of committing atrocities, along with use of chemical and other banned weapons. All anti-government forces in Syria are terrorists, largely imported from scores of countries. I’ve ...

Syrian Voices of Truth by Stephen Lendman Syria is in the eye of a US-created storm, ravaged by imperial viciousness, valiantly struggling to protect and preserve its sovereignty, aided greatly by help from Russia. What’s ongoing in its sixth year of conflict is a classic good v. evil struggle, a contest crucial to win, defeating malevolent forces ruling America. The alternative is tyrannical subjugation. On Monday, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said America, Britain and France convened last Sunday’s Security Council session to support anti-government terrorists ravaging the country. He blasted Washington’s flagrant violation of Geneva ceasefire terms, Syria ...
Al-Nusra Commander: "The US directly gives us missiles"

PMF...Started by USC The terrorist organization Jebat Al-Nusra receives TOW anti-tank missiles directly from the United States. This was reported by the German journal “Focus” quoting one of the leaders of the terrorist group. “They give us missiles directly. The Americans are on our side,” the commander said in an interview, also noting that cooperation with Washington is not working out “as al-Nusra would like.” Focus notes that this interview was held 10 days ago. The German publication’s source from al-Nusra apparently stated then that the UN convoy that was later attacked from the air was not going to be allowed into Aleppo if Syrian troops did not ...

Is Russia Finally Admitting Negotiating with America Is Futile? by Stephen Lendman Not quite, but any rhetorical shift in the right direction is welcome, Russia’s tone changing. Maybe policy measures will follow. More on this below. Anyone knowledgeable about its sordid history knows America negotiates in bad faith, saying and agreeing to one thing, intending something entirely different - never compromising on its imperial priorities. Interviewed over the weekend on Russian television, Sergey Lavrov called Sunday’s emergency Security Council session, convened by America, Britain and France, an attempt to distract attention from US warplanes massacring Syrian forces a week ...

They bear full responsibility for years of naked aggression against a sovereign independent nation threatening no one. US and other anti-Syria politicians consistently lie. Western media scoundrels act as imperial press agents, suppressing truth and full disclosure, managed news misinformation and Big Lies substituting. Everyone following their reports end ...
