Foreign AffairsRe: ISIS 'executes' 232 Near Mosul, Takes Thousands As Human Shields, UN Says by IamOdin: 10:44am On Oct 29, 2016
michellhilton:
ISIS has "executed" 232 people near the Iraqi city of Mosul and taken tens of thousands of people to use as human shields against advancing Iraqi forces, the United Nations says.

http://www.michellhilton.com/2016/10/isis-executa-232-pessoas-perto-de-mosul.html
Isis didn't "execute" them, the U.S "slaughtered" them, but blaming Isis so as to look innocent ( as many think they are).

Russia has tested what it called hypersonic aircraft, it is known as “article 4202” or “15U71” it was successfully tested on October 25 for the first time. All avionics and electronic systems, as well as the control system of the vehicle are entirely of Russian production.

I don't think this is their FIRST EVER HYPERSONIC WEAPON, they have many gliders already. I stand to be corrected though.

Oga, you talk of blacks being slaughtered in america! In nigeria here, do you know how many people are killed on a daily basis? Insurgency, Niger Delta avengers, Police and army killing innocent people. Izu, a shooting star player was just killed last 2 weeks by JTF. Shiites were murdered in hundreds months ago, not to forget hundreds of thousands killed by boko haram, or is America behing boko haram too?

This black killings you say is going on in America is not even up to 12 blacks that was killed by police in the last 5 years, correct me if i am wrong. In nigeria, police killing is almost on a daily basis and you never talk about it.
bros, Nigeria don't parade DEMOCRACY the way u.s does, we still have a long way to go in that aspect, so don't even compare nigeria with a state that claims to be the mother of democracy. Insurgency or terrorism is an entirely different story from state backed slaughtering and
I sincerely don't know where u get ur news from but to say that the u.s police HAVE KILLED ONLY 12 PEOPLE IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS IS TOTALLY ABSURD.
In case u don't know, THEY KILL THOUSANDS YEARLY, i.e, the ones reported and not including those shrouded in secrecy, without the perpetrators being brought to justice. Or do u think #TheBlackLivesMatter movement was founded to protest the killing of 12 people in 5yrs?? Sorry bro, i'm disappointed!!

And yes, THE U.S SPONSORS BOKO HARAM, shocking but true!! It is part of their many proxies around the world AIMED AT DE-STABILIZING ECONOMIES. I don't think b/haram manufactures guns or do u??
And have u ever wondered why the almighty american and its western ally militaries couldn't ground a group of untrained terrorists?? The truth is they are behind almost, if not all, of the known terrorist organizations around the world.
THEY RECENTLY ARMED SYRIAN REBELS WITH ANTI-AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS, BUT DID U KNOW?? DID U CNN TELL U THAT??
Bro, u truelly don't know america, they claim to be ur friend but in reality isn't. They only USE third world countries for their gain whilst pretending to be HELPING.
You can always look-up what i told u, google will be ever glad to help! Go read and be wise!!
Peace be unto us.

If you read my post I never said I supported The West, never said they were 'righteous' all I am saying is that the Bombing should stop. People are dying...
The point you are making is since the West invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya e.t.c it is okay to drop barrel bombs on civilians and what I am saying is that Russia should stop droping barrel bombs on Civilians its bad to know that today someone is gonna die....In other words you call Russia's acts a necessary evil


But what do you have to say about Russia's
annexation of Crimea? Was Crimea also invaded by the West
No bro, i am not supporting civillian killings by the russians. All am against is U.S rhetoric on the matter. Shouting civilian casualties as if they are spared after all their escapades.
In the case of Crimea, russia didn't annex it.
I will just brief u but try to research yourself for more details.
After the U.S succeeded with regime change in the ukrain, many of its regions especially ethnic russian sectors started protesting against the new govt.
Half of the country wanted to align with the west, half wanted russia. After their voices weren't heard they decided to secede e.g donetsk and luhansk regions. Crimea decided to RE-INTEGRATE INTO RUSSIA (they were russians b4 the then ussr president who is ukrainian himself, ceded the region to ukrain, u can look it up). A referendum was held in the region and 98% of crimeans voted to re-join the motherland. And russia who has a culture of protecting its own (for instance, last 2weeks they held a massive drill which involved evacuating 40 MILLION CIVILLIANS incase of a nuclear disaster) moved to protect its people's interest.
And that is it.
Remember to read more on this.

You mind sharing those other ways? They are aware of such other ways but in reality won't make use of it. Let the affected areas look inward to means of settling their own problem without calling dragging the World Powers into it. Plus should either Trump or Clinton be made president let's just hope we don't have another WWIII
As u clearly noted, they knows the other ways to assert influence but won't do it because they gain from the chaos.
Have u noticed that they sell weapons to both govt and rebels in a warring country, whn they know fully well that without supplying any of them they will ultimately run out of weapons and the conflict will subside. But they won't cos they are gaining and that's their ultimate interest.

The affected countries will want to resolve it themselves but the world's police man the U.S will always want to HELP and if u decline then u're in for a treat. For instance, syria didn't accept their HELP ( they are in syria without syria's permission, they are violating international law yet no one is talking of it) and they resorted to helping the opposition so as to achieve their aim.

In addition, for anyone who follows world news, it is already a known fact that America is always looking for ways to establish herself as the No 1. Less I forget, I read and reread the story...
i don't care if they are No1 or not, am only concerned about the lives lost and the destabilizing effect it has on the affected countries. I think there are other ways to assert influence instead of proxy wars.

You have a good point; double standard! my point is that those arab leaders like Assad have their own problem. Honestly, I always feel sad whenever I see all these sufferings in Syria. Their leader (Assad) caused it; where is his diplomacy and why is he a leader. And up till now, he watch endlessly as his country is on the brink of collapse and have been turned into a slaughter ground.
Nice.
But do u know the same is happening in israel and why is the U.S not fighting for the democracy of palestinians??
And u think america is free of blood shed, do u not see the chaos they caused in libya, iraq, sudan, afghanistan et al, and also do u know how many blacks are being slaughtered in the u.s without good reasons.
Brother dig deep and u will see the atrocities they commited.
U.S is the most hated country in the middle east and i don't think you're supposed to hate some one fighting for your DEMOCRACY (sorry, their national interest).

The fact that you hate the US does not reduce their power. It is just unfortunate that obama has being too diplomatic thanks to his liberal background.
Even putin knows who the most powerful is.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/vladimir-putin-russia-respects-us-world-superpower/
so even after reading that u still have not read b/w the lines??
Well i can just conclude u have reasoning disability.

He (putin) acknowledges that america is the only super power and they respect them and will LIKE TO WORK WITH THEM. Did u read that part or not??
Brother, the truth is, RUSSIA HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A U.S ALLY, but the U.S is pushing them back. And that is why the are somewhat behind Donald Trump who sees reason with them.
Do u know that the U.S blocked them when they TRIED TO JOIN NATO?? Do u know that they have offered to work and share target infos with the U.S in syria but the U.S declined?? Do u know they told the U.S to seperate rebels from terrorists in syria (since the U.S claimed they were bombing rebels) but U.S couldn't.
The truth is that America do not want another country to rise and that's why they do every thing to demonize russia and china.
Nigga, u.s is the problem of this world.

MONITZ:
I am not claiming to be a wiseacre ,we learn everyday of our lives, u see my friend, the Arab spring settings is different from wat is happening in Syria presently, u see wen the so called leaders want to carry out any ops, they normally cloak it with sth that u will make it agreeable to a lot of people while the true intention is hidden.

I believe the main aim of the Arab spring was to get rid of Gaddafi that was becoming a sort of a fly in an ointment.With that achieved the Arab spring died a natural death. Also the U. S. and Israel feel with no strong man in charge of any of these enemy Arab states, it would be easier for them to manage because there will not be a single voice as all of them are in disarray presently.

.If u want to be truthful to urself, u know that Libya is worse off today than it was under Gaddafi with many of the citizens complaining amidst many warlords ,each controlling his own swathe of area.

If u really thought Arab spring was to get rid of bad /despotic leaders as America,et al re wont to make us believe, then y is the AL Khalifa dynasty still overseeing the affairs of Bahrain, this is a tiny island Arab nation that has had a particular dynasty ruling them for upwards of 200 years or so, at a time the citizens were agitating that they were fed up with the dynasty and wanted a new leader, bt wat did the Almighty America do abt their request, they simply refused to listen to them amidst government crack down on protesters, American refused to act because it will interest u to know that America's biggest military base in the whole of the middle-east is in Bahrain. So much for double standard.

The settings and dynamics of Syria is totally different, it's all about the black gold and weakening Russia's source of forex exchange which is crude oil,that is y they re pushing for his removal, wat has Assad of Syria done that the AL Khalifa dynasty of Bahrain hasn't done?. I believe they even did worse than him because at a time a lot of Bahrainis were being mauled and killed, not a single word from it U. S.

Germany even went ahead to sell some heavy military hardware to the government to continue to in mauling the citizens ,this ought not to be so, bt because the dynasty is serving America's interest, they decided to turn a blind eye, wat Bahrain is to the U. S is wat Syria is to Russia with regards to interest, and strategic importance, so we're they really expecting the Russians up act a fool so that they can easily run them over?


The double standards re easy to discern for all unbiased mind to see.
some people are still blind even when the truth is staring them in the face and the worst part of it is that they fail to look beyond what the media feed them.
Israel have been clamping down on palestine for some years now and even triggered 'HANNIBAL' at a time, yet the U.S turned blind eye to all those war crimes albeit condemning other countries for the same offense.
DOUBLE STANDARDS!!

continuation: Arming Al Qaeda This reality – the fact that the U.S. government is indirectly supplying sophisticated weaponry to Al Qaeda – is rarely mentioned in the mainstream U.S. news media, though one might think it would make for a newsworthy story. But it would undercut the desired propaganda narrative of “good guy” rebels fighting “bad guy” government backed by “ultra-bad guy” Russians. What if Americans understood that their tax money and U.S. weaponry were going to aid the terrorist group that perpetrated the 9/11 attacks? What if they understood the larger historical context that Washington helped midwife the modern jihadist movement – and Al Qaeda – through the U.S./Saudi support for the Afghan mujahedeen in the 1980s? And what if Americans understood that Washington’s supposed regional “allies,” including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Israel, have sided with Al Qaeda in Syria because of their intense hatred of Shiite- ruled Iran, an ally of Syria’s secular government? These Al Qaeda sympathies have been known for several years but never get reported in the mainstream U.S. press. In September 2013, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren, then a close adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told the Jerusalem Post that Israel favored Syria’s Sunni extremists over President Bashar al- Assad. “The greatest danger to Israel is by the strategic arc that extends from Tehran, to Damascus to Beirut. And we saw the Assad regime as the keystone in that arc,” Oren told the Jerusalem Post in an interview. “We always wanted Bashar Assad to go, we always preferred the bad guys who weren’t backed by Iran to the bad guys who were backed by Iran.” He said this was the case even if the “bad guys” were affiliated with Al Qaeda. And, in June 2014, speaking as a former ambassador at an Aspen Institute conference, Oren expanded on his position, saying Israel would even prefer a victory by the brutal Islamic State over continuation of the Iranian-backed Assad in Syria. “From Israel’s perspective, if there’s got to be an evil that’s got to prevail, let the Sunni evil prevail,” Oren said. But such cynical – and dangerous – realpolitik is kept from the American people. Instead, the Syrian conflict is presented as all about the children. There is also little said about how Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front and its allied jihadists keep the civilian population in east Aleppo essentially as “human shields.” When “humanitarian corridors” have been opened to allow civilians to escape, they had been fired on by the jihadists determined to keep as many people under their control as possible.

Exclusive: As the U.S.-backed offensive in Mosul, Iraq, begins, the mainstream U.S. media readies the American people to blame the terrorists for civilian casualties but the opposite rules apply to Syria’s Aleppo, reports Robert Parry. By Robert Parry Note how differently The New York Times prepares the American public for civilian casualties from the new U.S.- backed Iraqi government assault on the city of Mosul to free it from the Islamic State, compared to the unrelenting condemnation of the Russian-backed Syrian government assault on neighborhoods of east Aleppo held by Al Qaeda. In the case of Mosul, the million-plus residents are not portrayed as likely victims of American airstrikes and Iraqi government ground assaults, though surely many will die during the offensive. Instead, the civilians are said to be eagerly awaiting liberation from the Islamic State terrorists and their head- chopping brutality. “Mosul’s residents are hoarding food and furtively scrawling resistance slogans on walls,” writes Times’ veteran war correspondent Rod Nordland about this week’s launch of the U.S.-backed government offensive. “Those forces will fight to enter a city where for weeks the harsh authoritarian rule of the Islamic State … has sought to crack down on a population eager to either escape or rebel, according to interviews with roughly three dozen people from Mosul. … “Just getting out of Mosul had become difficult and dangerous: Those who were caught faced million-dinar fines, unless they were former members of the Iraqi Army or police, in which case the punishment was beheading. … Graffiti and other displays of dissidence against the Islamic State were more common in recent weeks, as were executions when the vandals were caught.” The Times article continues: “Mosul residents chafed under social codes banning smoking and calling for splashing acid on body tattoos, summary executions of perceived opponents, whippings of those who missed prayers or trimmed their beards, and destroying ‘un-Islamic’ historical monuments.” So, the message is clear: if the inevitable happens and the U.S.-backed offensive kills a number of Mosul’s civilians, including children, The New York Times’ readers have been hardened to accept this “collateral damage” as necessary to free the city from blood-thirsty extremists. The fight to crush these crazies is worth it, even if there are significant numbers of civilians killed in the “cross-fire.” And we’ve seen similar mainstream media treatment of other U.S.-organized assaults on urban areas, such as the devastation of the Iraqi city, Fallujah, in 2004 when U.S. Marines routed Iraqi insurgents from the city while leveling or severely damaging most of the city’s buildings and killing hundreds of civilians. But those victims were portrayed in the Western press as “human shields,” shifting the blame for their deaths onto the Iraqi insurgents. Despite the fact that U.S. forces invaded Iraq in defiance of international law – and thus all the thousands of civilian deaths across Iraq from the “shock and awe” U.S. firepower should be considered war crimes – there was virtually no such analysis allowed into the pages of The New York Times or the other mainstream U.S. media. Such talk was forced to the political fringes, as it continues to be today. War-crimes tribunals are only for the other guys. Lust to Kill Children By contrast, the Times routinely portrays the battle for east Aleppo as simply a case of barbaric Russian and Syrian leaders bombing innocent neighborhoods with no regard for the human cost, operating out of an apparent lust to kill children. Rather than focusing on Al Qaeda’s harsh rule of east Aleppo, the Times told its readers in late September how to perceive the Russian-Syrian offensive to drive out Al Qaeda and its allies. A Sept. 25 article by Anne Barnard and Somini Sengupta, entitled “Syria and Russia Appear Ready to Scorch Aleppo,” began: “Make life intolerable and death likely. Open an escape route, or offer a deal to those who leave or surrender. Let people trickle out. Kill whoever stays. Repeat until a deserted cityscape is yours. It is a strategy that both the Syrian government and its Russian allies have long embraced to subdue Syrian rebels, largely by crushing the civilian populations that support them. “But in the past few days, as hopes for a revived cease-fire have disintegrated at the United Nations, the Syrians and Russians seem to be mobilizing to apply this kill-all-who-resist strategy to the most ambitious target yet: the rebel-held sections of the divided metropolis of Aleppo.” Again, note how the “rebels” are portrayed as local heroes, rather than a collection of jihadists from both inside and outside Syria fighting under the operational command of Al Qaeda’s Nusra Front, which recently underwent a name change to the Syria Conquest Front. But the name change and the pretense about “moderate” rebels are just more deceptions. As journalist/historian Gareth Porter has written: “Information from a wide range of sources, including some of those the United States has been explicitly supporting, makes it clear that every armed anti-Assad organization unit in those provinces [of Idlib and Aleppo] is engaged in a military structure controlled by Nusra militants. All of these rebel groups fight alongside the Nusra Front and coordinate their military activities with it. … “At least since 2014 the Obama administration has armed a number of Syrian rebel groups even though it knew the groups were coordinating closely with the Nusra Front, which was simultaneously getting arms from Turkey and Qatar. The strategy called for supplying TOW anti-tank missiles to the ‘Syrian Revolutionaries Front’ (SRF) as the core of a client Syrian army that would be independent of the Nusra Front. “However, when a combined force of Nusra and non-jihadist brigades including the SRF captured the Syrian army base at Wadi al-Deif in December 2014, the truth began to emerge. The SRF and other groups to which the United States had supplied TOW missiles had fought under Nusra’s command to capture the base.”

Foreign AffairsPutin Tried To Warn Us About Syria Three Years Ago, But Nobody Listened . by IamOdin(op): 1:39am On Oct 27, 2016
As Russia and the United States approach
arguably the most dangerous crossroads
in history — and as Western media
continues to crucify Russia for its actions
within Syria — a closer look at
the rationale Putin used for intervening in
the Syrian war paints a sane explanation
of how we ended up at this juncture of a
global conflict.
Unsurprisingly, the explanation comes from
the Russian president himself and was
actually offered over 3 years ago. As
expected, the Western corporate media and
the Obama administration chose to ignore
Vladimir Putin’s explanation for Russia’s
stance on Syria and continued a number of
policies that have completely exacerbated
the conflict.
In a live interview with RT in June 2013,
Putin was asked for an explanation
regarding Russia’s support for Bashar al-
Assad in Syria, even though this support has
made some people very angry at Russia.
Putin’s response was that Russia does not
support the Assad government or Assad
himself, but before defining Russia’s official
position, he explained what Russia does
not want to do within Syria or across the
Middle East:
However, according to Putin, what worries Russia can be identified by having a look “at
what is going on in the Middle East in
general.”
“Egypt is not calm. Iraq is not calm –
and it is not assured in its continued
existence as one state. Yemen is not
calm; Tunisia is not calm. Libya is
witnessing inter-ethnic, inter-tribal
conflict. So the entire region has
been engulfed, at a minimum, into a
state of conflict and undecidedness.
And now Syria, down the same path.” In Putin’s eyes, these events are no accident.
As he puts it, these events happened for a
reason: “Some people, from the outside,
think that if they can ‘comb’ the
region to how they see fit – some of
them call this ‘democracy’ – then the
region will come into calmness and
order. That’s not how it is. Without
taking into account the history, the
traditions, religious particularities, you
must not do anything in the Middle
East, especially as an outsider.”Russia found this out the hard way when its
military intervened in Afghanistan in the
1980s, a war many historians believe to be
one of the main reasons for the fall of the
Soviet empire. According to Robert Gates,
director of the CIA under Ronald Reagan and
George H.W. Bush and Secretary of Defense
under both George W. Bush and Barack
Obama, the U.S. began arming and funding
jihadists in Pakistan and Afghanistan six
months prior to the Soviet invasion with the
express goal of luring the Soviets into a
quagmire.
Similarly, and not by accident, the tactic
used to draw Russia into Afghanistan is
the same tactic being used today in Syria.
In fact, Obama warned Putin that Russia’s
adventures into Syria would result in the
same quagmire the Soviets met in
Afghanistan.
Unsurprisingly, supporting radical militant
groups to overthrow regimes in the Middle
East has been a key hallmark of Obama’s
foreign policy. As Putin notes:“So they interfered in the internal
affairs of Libya. Whether the [Gaddafi]
regime was good or bad – but Libya
used to have the highest standard of
living in the Middle East. And what’s
happening there now? There’s a war
for resources; an endless inter-tribal
war. How is this all going to end –
nobody knows.”What happened to Libya resonated strongly
with Russia due to the fact that in that
situation, the West convinced Russia and
China not to use their veto power at the U.N.
Security Council level — they were told
regime change was not part of NATO’s
agenda in Libya. As it turned out, however,
this was one of the first things that
happened as soon as authorization was
granted for NATO to bomb Libyan territory.
Putin immediately questioned why NATO
was attacking Muammar Gaddafi directly
despite their promises they would not do
so.
Putin has therefore drawn the following
conclusion:“What worries us is that if the same
is done in Syria, then it will be in the
same state as Libya. Is it not enough
that we already have a small lawless
territory between Afghanistan and
Pakistan? Nobody governs the area,
it’s just groups of rebels. This is very
close to our borders, do we want
another?” The role of al-Nusra in the Syrian conflict
continues to be the main issue today, as
Russia has repeatedly asked for the United
States to differentiate between terrorist
groups and moderate groups on the
ground in Syria.
As Putin said: “You know what [the Americans]
can’t answer us? The key armed
opposition group…al-Nusra…Yes, this
organization is one of the key ones in
the armed opposition [against
Assad]. The U.S. State Department
has confirmed it is a terrorist
organization linked to al-Qaeda. Al-
Nusra does not hide that fact. And –
what are [the Americans
suggesting]? For al-Nusra to be in the
future parliament?”
“Or, here’s another example. They
support certain organizations that are
fighting against Assad in Syria, yet
those same countries [who support
them in Syria] fight against these
organizations in Mali.”Putin’s reference to fighters in Mali is a
direct attack on France’s role in the war on
terror. France has been actively
bombing Mali since 2013, though this is
rarely covered by the mainstream media. As
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has
noted, the fighters France supported in
Libya to overthrow Gaddafi were the same
fighters they have supposedly been fighting
in Mali“Often, not only are they the same
organizations – they are the same
individuals,” Putin added.
“They simply leave Syria and go to fight
in Mali – where western states do not
support them. Then the same people
go back to Syria and there they are
supported.”
“Where is the logic? How will it all
end? These are not just empty
words.” s

Amerikansky and double standards are like bread and butter.
Their DEMOCRACY can now be seen as it really is cos b4 now everything goes smoothly for the DNC, and their corruption is covered up. But now everyone can now see how biased and corrupt the U.S (DNC) electoral process is, no small thanks to WIKILEAKS.

This one is a weapon for offense.
no bro, nukes are for defense, i.e deterance. If u have a nuke u will most likely not be invaded by another country because the invading country knows what's at stake.
If libya, iraq, afghanistan et al, had nuclear weapons, they would not be invaded. Take iran and n/korea for instance, even as stubborn as they are the U.S have not done anything rash cos they very well know the consequence of such.
So bro, rethink and read beyond what western media feed u about countries trying to have nuclear weapons (the countries want their safety).

its is interesting to see many people in support of russia in that russia has more millitary might. u guys probably downplay usa's ability to take down russia. usa has different arsenals in its possession but they rarely show off what they have unlike their counterparts in russia n north korea. strategy is key to defeating an enemy. it will b deadly for any country to undermine usa and deal the first blow.

Who does not know that the main-stay of Russia is oil and weapon development! Now oil price has crashed, Russia's economy is crashing with it. Russia likes war situation around the world so that they can be selling their wares just like they are selling to Assad in Syria despite the fact that it is being used to kill the the civilian population in Syria..
Compare the amount russia makes from weapons export with that of the U.S and u will know whom likes war.
I'll like to see u answer this questions.

Is it russia that sold weapons to libya, iraq, afghanistan, sudan, yemen, syrain rebels and al-qaeda??
