Foreign Affairs / Russia Has Turned Donbas Into ‘hell’, Zelenskyy Says by nurudeen181(m): 10:26am On May 20, 2022 |
Russia’s renewed offensive in Ukraine’s Donbas
has destroyed the eastern region and turned it
into “hell”, Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy said, accusing Moscow of carrying
out senseless bombardments.
After failing to take Ukraine’s capital since
launching a full-scale invasion in February,
Russia is using massed artillery and armour to
try to capture more territory in the Donbas,
comprised of the Donetsk and Luhansk areas,
which Moscow claims on behalf of pro-Russian
separatists.
“The occupiers are trying to exert even more
pressure. It is hell there – and that is not an
exaggeration,” Zelenskyy said in a late address
on Thursday.
(Al Jazeera)
He said 12 people had been killed in the “brutal
and absolutely senseless bombardment” of the
city of Severodonetsk in the Luhansk region on
Thursday.
“[There are] constant strikes on the Odesa
region, on the cities of central Ukraine. The
Donbas is completely destroyed,” he said.
“This is a deliberate and criminal attempt to kill
as many Ukrainians as possible, to destroy as
many houses, social facilities and enterprises as
possible.”
The defence ministry in Kyiv said on Thursday
that Russian forces were preventing civilians in
Donbas from fleeing to Ukrainian-controlled
territory.
Severodonetsk and its sister city Lysychansk
make up the last pocket of Ukrainian resistance
in the smaller of the two regions comprising the
Donbas war zone.
Russian forces have surrounded the two – split
by a river marking a central front of the war –
and are bombarding them to try and wear
down resistance and starve residents of
supplies.
The residents still in the now ghostly city are
afraid to take more than a few steps outside
their front door.
Nella Kashkina sat in her basement next to an
oil lamp and prayed.
“I do not know how long we can last,” the 65-
year-old told the AFP news agency.
“We have no medicine left and a lot of sick
people – sick women – need medicine. There is
simply no medicine left at all.”
Russia is likely to reinforce its operations in the
industrial Donbas region once they secure the
city of Mariupol, British military intelligence
said early on Friday.
Al Jazeera’s Assed Baig, reporting from
Bakhmut in the Donetsk region, said emergency
services are struggling to deal with the scale of
the casualties and the damage in the city.
“Nowhere in Bakmut is safe and people have
become desensitised to the constant sound of
artillery and shelling,” he said.
The mayor has told residents to evacuate the
city as the Russian offensive continues to
intensify.
“Those that remain have a choice: evacuate
from the town or hope to survive the Russian
military onslaught,” Baig said. |
Foreign Affairs / George Bush’s Iraq Slip When Slamming Putin Is Perfect Irony by nurudeen181(m): 6:23am On May 20, 2022 |
Former US President George W. Bush made an embarrassing gaffe ,
perhaps a Freudian slip, when speaking on the importance of
democracy and threats to democracy from abroad, and taking aim
specifically at Russia.
“Russian elections are rigged,” he said. “Political opponents are
imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in the
electoral process. The result is an absence of checks and balances
in Russia and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified
and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean of Ukraine.”
Then Bush brushed the mistake aside and said, “Iraq, too,”
insinuating that Russia was somehow involved in Iraq – which is
obviously not true.
In any case, simple mistake or not, it is the most perfect example
of the outright hypocrisy of US politicians who call out Russia’s
incursion into Ukraine. Bush himself launched an illegal invasion of
Iraq in 2003 that resulted in the estimated deaths of over 1 million
Iraqis in the first several years alone. All told, the war ended up being a bloody nine-year operation under the false pretense of ‘weapons of mass destruction’ supposedly held by then-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. US forces openly committed war crimes, including the use of illegal chemical weapons, the killing of tens of thousands of civilians by US forces, as well as the widespread use of torture. All of these transgressions were either confirmed by the US or admitted in internal documents leaked by WikiLeaks. The fact that the man who presided over this horrible war – the war that drew the largest protests in human history – has the nerve to call out Russia’s actions in Ukraine is a display of narcissism. It’s so clearly ridiculous that even he himself let it slip that, yes, what happened in Iraq was a travesty. What makes this travesty even more apparent is exactly what he was saying about Russia, that “one man ” can launch a military operation without checks and balances. That is exactly what happened during the Iraq War. There are international laws and institutions designed to prevent these types of crimes from happening – all of which were ignored. This proved that international law is not the law as such, but merely a political tool to manifest the desires of one hegemon, i.e., the United States of America. It is precisely this situation, this breakdown of international law and the resulting sense that international law does not actually protect anyone, that created the conditions for the situation in Ukraine. Prior to Russia’s intervention in the conflict, which had actually been ongoing since 2014, Moscow sent its legitimate security concerns – including about the militarization of Ukraine and the potential for Ukrainian NATO membership – to the West, but they were all ignored. Ironically, it’s again Bush who began the approach of patently disregarding Russia’s interests. After the fall of the Soviet Union, there was hope that Russia could become a partner with the West, not an enemy. When Russian President Vladimir Putin began his first term, that was a hope that he himself shared. In fact, as Russia was dealing with terrorism in Chechnya, President Putin wanted to partner with the US in counter-terrorism operations. He pledged support for the US in its own efforts against terrorism, including in Afghanistan, offering the use of Russian airspace and other resources. He met for the first time with Bush at the latter’s Texas home in 2001 just after the 9/11 terror attacks. At a local Texas high school, Bush described Putin as “a new style of leader, a reformer…, a man who’s going to make a huge difference in making the world more peaceful, by working closely with the United States.” Then just weeks later, Bush withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in order to, the administration said , protect NATO allies from a potential Iranian missile attack. Putin said publicly that this move would undermine arms control efforts and weaken European security. Such duplicitousness has essentially remained the norm in Washington ever since. The Americans assure world leaders that they want to cooperate, build ties and reduce tensions, but then immediately enact policies that contradict their own words. Over the course of Putin’s leadership, which has overlapped with several US presidents, Russia has endured successive waves of NATO expansion that has encroached right up to Russia’s doorstep and militarized Russia’s neighborhood – despite verbal promises that this would not happen from, ironically, President George H.W. Bush, the father of George W. Bush. George W. Bush thus clearly has no ground to stand on when it comes to illegal invasions and a lack of checks and balances on foreign policy. Bush's having even ventured a censorious opinion of Russia's actions in Ukraine is irony enough -- the Freudian slip is merely that irony in all of its distilled clarity. 1 Like 1 Share |

The heading said the flyover is badly planned.... which kind thing be that..which purpose is the flyover built and not serving.. by the way, how can people say a state project is badly planned. no work of an engineer can be bad so long as he is allowed to do the work. works that fail cannot be criticised if testings are not carried out. why do people think engineering is a joke and couldnt go there. How can you say the work of an engineer is bad.. our people are really educated illiterates.. if you dont like the work say you dont kike it but as an engineer.. this work is a master piece. if its not serving the purpose then its the fualt of those who initiated the job, not the job. i didnt watch the video but i believe the critics will only be from someone who has no joy. |

Foreign Affairs / One In Four Britons Skipping Meals To Save Pennies by nurudeen181(m): 5:53am On May 18, 2022 |
Full English in Past? One in four Britons Skipping Meals to Save Pennies According to a Sky News survey, 65% of respondents turn off their heating to cut energy bills, try to eat less (27%), work from home (31%), and shop at cheaper supermarkets (44%) to make ends meet. The poll also found that far fewer in the UK are using their personal vehicles due to record petrol prices. The report claims inflation could hit 10% by the end of the year, largely impacted by residents making changes to their habits and attempting to cut back on energy. RT /rtnews |
