SANA'A - At least 30 civilians have been killed and many others injured in fresh air raids conducted by Saudi warplanes on Yemen's northern Jawf Province, Yemeni media reported. The al-Masirah TV channel reported on Saturday that the Wahhabi regime carried out eight aerial assaults on Jawf's al-Maslub district. The Saudi airstrikes, it added, targeted people who had gathered near the wreckage of a Saudi jet that had been shot down by Yemeni forces on Friday evening. Yemen's Health Ministry said aid workers could not reach the site of the air attack due to continuous flights by Saudi warplanes over... Continue ->

Putin Leaves a Political Will, the Last Message to the West: 'Russia's Territory is Indivisible'

Published 2020-02-15 18:33:11 by Guest Author in Eurasia, Headline-News, Politics, Russia

By Arthur Evans - Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees with the proposal to amend the constitution on the indivisibility of the territory of the Russian Federation. Putin made this statement or comment during a meeting with famous actor Vladimir Maskov. There is an opinion that while Putin is at the helm of Russia, such a scenario cannot develop, but if a weak president comes after him, as in the case of Yeltsin in the 1990s, any scenario in that direction is possible. Putin said he would discuss the matter with lawyers and that he liked the idea in principle. The... Continue ->

Published 2020-02-15 18:03:26 by Drago Bosnic in Anglo-5, Defense, Eu, Eurasia, Germany, Headline-News, Nato, Politics, United-States

Munich, Germany - During his opening speech at the 56th Munich Security Conference on Friday, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier slammed US President Donald Trump’s “America First” foreign policy approach, arguing that the US now puts its own interests first at the expense of its “closest allies”. “Our closest ally, the United States of America, under the current administration, rejects the very concept of the international community,” Steinmeier noted, adding that the Trump administration callously described the nation as ”‘Great again’, but at the expense of neighbors and partners”, referring to the Trump campaign slogan without naming the US president, Sputnik...

The Dresden War Crime: 75 Years Have Passed Since US and UK Air Forces Rained Death on German Civilians

Published 2020-02-15 17:49:31 by Joaquin Flores in Anglo-5, Eurasia, Germany, Headline-News, United-Kingdom, United-States

It's been 75 years since one of the worst events of World War II — the bombing of Dresden. In February 1945, American and British air forces razed the city to the ground. Explosions and fires destroyed at least half of the buildings and claimed tens of thousands of lives. The necessity of the bombing is still a matter of controversy among historians. - Vesti

SANA'A/RIYADH - Yemeni army forces shot down a fighter jet belonging to the Saudi-led military coalition in retaliation for the alliance’s military aggression against their conflict-stricken country. Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah television network, citing an unnamed source in the Yemeni missile defense units, reported that the country’s air defense units managed to target and shoot down a Panavia Tornado fighter jet in the skies of Yemen’s northern province of Jawf late on Friday night. It also quoted Spokesman for Yemen’s Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree as saying that the multi-role combat aircraft had been shot down with an advanced surface-to-air... Continue ->

Published 2020-02-15 16:23:15 by Drago Bosnic in Anglo-5, China, Eu, Eurasia, Finance, France-Eurasia, Headline-News, Nato, Politics, Russia, United-States

WASHINGTON, D.C./PARIS - As the United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo bragged about the successes of the West at the Munich Security Conference, the French President Emmanuel Macron seemed rather skeptical, saying the Western world is no longer dominant. “I’m happy to report that the death of the Transatlantic Alliance is grossly exaggerated. The West is winning, we are collectively winning and we’re doing it together,” Mike Pompeo said at the Munich Security Conference this Saturday, making a veiled swipe at French President Emmanuel Macron’s famous “brain death of NATO” remarks, RT reported. “Free nations are simply more successful than...

Tehran: US Conducted a Massive Cyber Attack on Iran Last Week

Published 2020-02-15 15:10:08 by Drago Bosnic in Anglo-5, Cia, Crime, Defense, Headline-News, Iran, Mena, Politics, United-States

WASHINGTON, D.C./TEHRAN - Head of the Iranian Civil Defense Organization, Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali, stated that the United States has most likely been behind the large-scale cyberattack that recently targeted the Iranian infrastructure. On February 8, the Iranian internet service suffered hours of disruption in what telecom authorities said was the result of DDoS cyberattack that the Iranians side says was "dealt with swiftly". The powerful distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack caused connection issues for users, according to officials. Brigadier General Jalali declared, in a televised interview on Thursday night, the unsuccessful DDoS attack probably originated from the United States. “It’s... Continue ->

Pompeo's Sinophobic Pressure Campaign Runs Amok at National Governors' Association Convention

Published 2020-02-15 12:12:42 by Matthew Ehret in China, Cia, Defense, Headline-News, United-States

Of all the things the CIA is good at, insecurely threatening people who may potentially wish to work with Russia and China is at the top of the list. This insecure passive aggressiveness shined with blinding intensity on February 8 during an annual National Governors' Association event which saw 44 American state governors come together from Feb. 7-10 in Washington, DC. During his speech, Pompeo's niceties quickly ended in order to launch into his main agenda behind speaking at this venue: To threaten all participants to stay away from China because "China is watching you. Working you." Pompeo warned the... Continue ->
