    Counteroffensive update 17th June evening: The massacre near Orekhovo - even experienced officers have never seen something like this. The AFU went on the offensive in large numbers today. Ukrainian infantry moved forward with the support of NATO tanks and armored vehicles. After a heavy and long battle, within a day, this Ukrainian assault battalion was completely destroyed. What happened today near Orekhovo was a Slaughter!!! One gets the impression that NATO members gave Kiev a very "hard deadline". Time is limited, since the NATO summit is on July 11-12th. Only one problem the Russian army is strong, but this...
  • 'You're playing a game with me': Biden says sanctions were NEVER meant to deter 'brute' Putin, will last a year, and promises US will respond 'in kind' if he uses chemical weapons in tense exchange in Brussels

    President Joe Biden said new sanctions on Russia were about 'increasing the pain' on Russian President Vladimir Putin – whom he termed a 'brute' during a tense exchange with a reporter at a press conference in Brussels Thursday. -snip- 'I did not say that sanctions would in fact deter him. Sanctions never deter,' Biden lectured. 'You keep talking about that.'

    LONDON - When U.S. President Joe Biden flies to Europe this week, he will find his hosts welcoming but wary. His predecessor Donald Trump may be gone, but he leaves a long shadow. Biden’s first foreign trip as president starts Wednesday and includes a gathering of the Group of Seven wealthy nations by the seaside in southwest England, a NATO summit, a meeting with European Union chiefs, and then a tete-a-tete in Geneva with his Russian counterpart and adversary, Vladimir Putin. For most of America’s allies, Biden is a relief. Trump often sowed chaos, accusing the NATO military alliance of...

    “Germany is totally controlled by Russia … They will be getting between 60 and 70 percent of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline, and you tell me if that is appropriate because I think its not,” Trump said. The U.S. president was speaking at a press conference in front of NATO representatives ahead of a two-day summit. The Trump administration’s policies indicate it views security and trade as intimately linked. And when it comes to the trade balance, no ally will be spared. Speaking in Brussels, Belgium on the first leg of his European trip, the U.S. president...
  • Rogers: Obama’s inertia on Syria-Islamic State part of foreign policy plan empowering rivals

    08/31/2014 8:01:29 AM PDT · by RoosterRedux · 25 replies
    Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said Sunday that President Obama’s inertia on whether to launch airstrikes on Islamic State targets in Syria is part of an overall foreign policy failure that is empowering China, North Korea, Russia and other rival nations. “It’s all related,” Rogers, R-Mich., told “Fox News Sunday." “The world sees the United States as withdrawn.” Rogers said the president’s apparent disengagement or slow response is the reason China has engaged U.S. pilots and Russian President Vladimir Putin has moved into eastern Ukraine without fear of consequence. “U.S. foreign policy is...

    A Chicago police officer suffered a stab wound to the leg, Sunday, and three others were injured during a day of protests around the NATO summit. Chicago police Supt. Garry McCarthy did not know what was used to stab the officer and became emotional when discussing the crowd with which his officers dealt. "If you think it's easy to ask people to do what they did, it's not," he said, pausing to gain his composure. "Asking people to put themselves in harm's way, knowing that they're going to get assaulted, and to be able to stand there and take it,...

The only difference is that here, since the Wons took over, we take care of our underprivileged youths. matchy, matchy; matchy, matchy

  • Does May 19’s NATO Summit in Chicago have Communist symbolism?

    coachisright.com ^ | May 17, 2012 | George Splevin, staff writer
    Curious indeed is the choice of the date of May 19 for this week’s NATO Summit in Chicago. How about this for symbolism? This is the same date listed as the “May 19 Communist Coalition, May 19 Communist Organization or rather just M19CO”. Why would Obama and his schedulers happen to pick the date of May 19 to invite leaders from around the world to descend on the city that launched him into politics, namely Chicago? Was a master plan for the usurpation of America as a land of the free hatched way back in the Ayers days of rage...

    For much of human history, world leaders never met each other. Oh, they might have met on the field of battle, or at the arranged weddings of their children… but for the most part, rulers didn’t meet unless they ruled neighboring countries. The world was simply too big a place, distances too great, the burdens of monarchy too demanding, to risk a three or six month voyage. You might not have a throne to return to, by the time you returned. So they invented diplomats. Nations would appoint permanent ambassadors, or at least temporary envoys, to visit other heads of...

    Israel will not be invited to NATO's May 20-21 summit in Chicago, the alliance's top official said Friday. But he denied that alliance member Turkey had blocked Israel's participation. Instead, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the reason is because Israel does not participate in NATO's main military missions. News reports have claimed that Turkey blocked Israel's participation because of the raid in 2010 by Israeli troops on ships heading to Gaza in which eight Turks and a Turkish-American died. NATO has a system of partnerships with dozens of nations across the globe such as the Mediterranean Dialogue, a NATO...

    In a sign of what may be coming, residents of a Chicago condo building located near the site of next month’s NATO summit have been asked to leave for the event or risk being caught in a storm of rioters. WND first reported in August 2011 that radicals, some with ties to President Obama, were planning to riot during the NATO summit. FOX Chicago News reported the people living in the 17-floor Library Tower building at 520 South State Street were warned in a letter from condo management that “we are STRONGLY recommending that all residents find places to stay...

    In a surprise turnaround, the White House announced Monday afternoon that Chicago won’t be hosting the controversial G-8 summit after all. It will be held at Camp David instead of Chicago. The NATO summit will proceed here May 20-21. City Hall insisted that it was President Barack Obama’s decision — that Mayor Rahm Emanuel did not ask the White House to take the more controversial of the two summits off Chicago’s hands. One leading demonstrator pledged the protests “will go forward” here despite the switch. The White House issued a terse statement dropping the bombshell shortly before 3 p.m. “In...

    Former tenants of college dorms, parent’s basements and police drunk tanks currently known as OWS (Occupy Wall Street) protesters have alternately amused and disgusted television audiences across the nation. Deluded enough to believe “the world is watching” and actually supportive of their disgraceful antics, this crew of doped-up reprobates has proudly defecated on police cars and turned city parks into slums, all the while demanding free goods and services from politicians, city officials and local vendors. New York‘s Zuccotti Park–squatter central for the Big Apple’s OWS contingent–has become “…a breeding ground for bacterial infection loaded with potential health-code violations…” said...

    BUCHAREST: NATO countries unanimously endorsed Bush administration plans for installing a missile defense system in alliance countries in Europe on Thursday even as they rebuffed President George W. Bush's entreaties to extend membership of the alliance to the former Soviet republics of Ukraine and Georgia. The unusually rancorous meeting of NATO members in Bucharest exposed sharp differences between nations, but despite the rancor Bush won some agreement on bolstering the number of NATO troops in Afghanistan and presenting a united front against Russia's objections on the issue of missile defense. After hours of negotiations, the countries agreed to extend membership...
