Putin vows to save Syria from ‘tragic’ fate of U.S.-supported Iraq Special to WorldTribune.com Russian President Vladimir Putin said U.S. President Barack Obama’s strategy to counter Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) in Iraq has been “lamentable” and resulted in “tragic” consequences. “The United States supports Iraq, supports … the army. With two or three strikes ISIL has captured so many arms … (that) now ISIL is armed better than the Iraqi army. And all this is happening with the support of the United States,” Putin said. And, despite pressure from the U.S., Putin pledged full support for President Bashar Assad’s ...

Russia, which has traditionally strong ties to Syria, has been seen as a key to a peaceful solution and has previously rebuffed suggestions that Assad's resignation could help end the war. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem ...

Other users have tagged Russian flag profile picture with #pridetobestraight and #pridetoberussian, as well as their grammatically correct Russian ...

A report released by the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva on Tuesday called for alleged Israeli war criminals like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be arrested and tried for having led attacks against Palestinian civilians. Orders for the report to be prepared were initially given on July 23, 2014, just 16 days into the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict that started when Hamas began firing rockets into Israel.It also named as its start date June 13 — the day after Palestinian thugs kidnapped and murdered three Israeli teenagers.

Moscow (AFP) - The US Supreme Court's move to legalise gay marriages triggered heated debate in Russia on Sunday, with one MP saying Facebook should be blocked while a senator urged the adoption of the US army's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. In a show of support for the US Supreme Court's historic decision, Facebook introduced a function allowing users to decorate their profiles with the rainbow flag of the gay rights movement and many Russians added a rainbow filter to their photos. Their opponents immediately came up with a counter move, superimposing a Russian tri-colour against their pictures. Homophobia remains widespread in the country, and almost no ...

The world will be unable to fight the next global financial crash as central banks have used up their ammunition trying to tackle the last crises, the Bank of International Settlements has warned. The so-called central bank of central banks launched a scatching critique of global monetary policy in its annual report. The BIS claimed that central banks have backed themselves into a corner after repeatedly cutting interest rates to shore up their economies. These low interest rates have in turn fuelled economic booms, encouraging excessive risk taking. Booms have then turned to busts, which policymakers have responded to with even lower rates. Claudio Borio, head of the ...

Greece will keep its banks and stock market closed on Monday and place restrictions on the withdrawal and transfer of money, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a televised address on Sunday night, as Athens tries to avert a financial collapse. The government’s decision to close banks temporarily and impose other so-called capital controls came hours after the European Central Bank said it would not expand an emergency loan program that has been propping up Greek banks in recent weeks while the government was trying to reach a new debt deal with international creditors. Mr. Tsipras said on Sunday night that the European Central Bank’s decision was an attempt to ...

The Obama Administration wants to go to war with Syria despite strong resistance from Congress, the international community and the American public. Why? The reasoning, according to Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, is that we can’t stand idly by while Assad uses chemical weapons to murder his own citizens (even though there is no irrefutable proof that he has done so). As the world’s preeminent super power, it’s our duty to confront genocide, war crimes, ethnic purges and humanitarian injustices in every dark corner of the globe — no matter what. Or so the argument goes. “These are real human beings, real children, parents being affected in ways that are ...

ISIS celebrated gay love today by tossing four more gays from top of a highrise. Of course a crowd gathered below to watch the execution.Several Islamists tweeted out #LoveWins – the same hashtag that was used today after the Supreme Court ruling. Of course this wasn’t the first time… A massive crowd assembled to watch ISIS rebels throw another gay man off a building top earlier this month. Hundreds of spectators came out to watch the brutal public execution. It looks like they drove their cars to the execution! They hung the man from his feet and then let him drop! The execution was most likely filmed in Nineveh Province where the Islamists have murdered several gay men. ...

As Obamatrade Passes Congress, High-Ranking Chinese Officials Meet With Obama At White House by Garrett Reno 25 Jun 2015 Several high-ranking Chinese officials met with President Barack Obama at the White House on Wednesday—right as Congress saw its final hurdle, final Senate passage, of Obamatrade’s Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) met. TPA will fast-track the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), essentially ensuring congressional approval of that Pacific Rim trade deal—one that currently does not include China, but will likely one day soon include the currency manipulating behemoth nation. “The President met today with China’s Special Representatives to ...

PARIS (Reuters) - French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Wednesday that declarations from Iranian leaders appeared not to favor an international deal on the country's nuclear program. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Tuesday ruled out freezing sensitive nuclear work in the country for a long time and said sanctions imposed on it should be lifted as soon it reaches a final deal with major powers, state TV reported. Major powers - Britain, France, Germany, China, Russia and the United States - want Iran to commit to a verifiable halt of at least 10 years on sensitive nuclear development work as part of a landmark atomic deal they aim to reach by June 30. ...

More Slaves Now Than at Any Other Time in History There are 27 million people living in slavery today, more than double the total taken from West Africa during the slave trade. There are more people in slavery today than at any time in human history. The best estimate, according to the U.S. State Department, is 27 million, and that does not include bonded labour. This is more than double the total taken from West Africa during the transatlantic slave trade in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. However, in percentage terms, it is smaller than the African slave trade — with today’s massive global economy it has become only a tiny fraction of the whole. President Barack Obama ...

Drivers all over are finding that when they hit the road, the road hits back. Highways built or rebuilt after World War II are scarred with cracks and potholes. Bridges have collapsed. Poorly designed roads have resulted in deaths. Everyone agrees that crumbling highways should be fixed. No one wants to pay the bill. The Situation Engineers say U.S. highways rate a D+ grade. Still, U.S. roads are in better shape than those in Sweden, the U.K., New Zealand and Australia, according to a separate global survey by the World Economic Forum. Even in Germany, where the autobahn was born, western highways are in poor shape because the government shifted ...

Rossini, who was assigned to the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center (CTC) at the time of the attacks, has long maintained that the U.S. government has covered up secret relations between the spy agency and Saudi individuals who may have abetted the plot.

Faced with a shortage of U.S. Navy ships, the Marine Corps is exploring a plan to deploy its forces aboard foreign vessels to ensure they can respond quickly to global crises around Europe and western Africa. The initiative is a stopgap way to deploy Marines aboard ships overseas until more American vessels are available, said Brig. Gen. Norman Cooling, deputy commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa. The Marines will be able to respond quickly to evacuate embassies or protect U.S. property and citizens, a need highlighted by the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.

New US Military Base To Open In Iraq

President Obama has ordered the deployment of 450 U.S. troops to Iraq in order to bolster the fight against the Islamic State terrorist group. While it appears to be a small deployment, the troops will need a base to stay, which in turn would need to be secured by expanding U.S. military umbrella in the region. The White House insists that it is not a shift in overall strategy, although recently it was revealed by officials that there was no strategy on Iraq. President Barack Obama ran on a campaign of winding down foreign wars when he was elected for the office twice in the past. The American base will be constructed in eastern Anbar province, at the Iraqi military base of Taqaddum. It ...

What has a Papal Encyclical calling on the world to end its use of fossil fuels and to pray to God for the success of the global “climate summit” in December got in common with the Greek euro crisis, the ominous rift between the West and Russia, and the shambles Europe is making over the desperation of African and Syrian refugees to find safety this side of the Mediterranean? They are all different aspects of the two greatest acts of political make-believe of our time, so all-pervasive that it is hard for us to grasp just how much effect they are having on all our lives. When future historians come to look back on our age, few things will puzzle them more than the extent to ...
