The Russian Federation sent troops into Ukraine on February 24 in response to decades of relentless US-led NATO provocation.

Above Photo: Fibonacci Blue Chilean author and human rights advocate Ariel Dorfman recently memorialized Orlando Letelier, President Allende’s foreign minister. Agents of dictator Augusto Pinochet murdered Letelier in Washington in 1976. Dorfman noted that Chile and the United States were “on excellent, indeed obscenely excellent, terms (like they are today, shamefully, between the United States and the corrupt regime in Honduras).” The Honduran government headed by president Juan Orlando Hernández does have excellent relations with the United States. The alliance is toxic, however, what with the continued hold of capitalism on an already unjust, dysfunctional society. Hondurans will choose a new president on November […]

However, Armenian forces apparently forgot to read his tweet […]

The Tobruk House of Representatives governing Cyrenaica (eastern Libya around Benghazi) released a few hours ago an official note reported on Twitter […]
Egypt’s President warns of direct military intervention in Libya if Turkey continue to advance …by Jim W. Dean, VT Editor …with PressTV, Tehran [ Editor’s Note: Poor Libya is now the poster child for how easy it is to fragment a tribal country with natural resources by pitting tribes against each other who then require foreign sponsorship for military support. The UN shows once again how useless it is, due to the one veto that can stop any joint sanctions against a trouble making outside country trying to exploit the situation, when it has the support of one of the Security […]
