Germany to Washington: Don't Even Think About Placing Nuclear Missiles in Europe After INF Withdrawal Tyler Durden

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas warned this week that  the US better not be thinking about stationing its intermediate-range missiles in Germany - or anywhere in Europe, for that matter.  For the last 30 years, the treaty has prohibited stationing intermediate-range arms in Europe. Any push to change that would almost certainly be met with "widespread resistance" in Germany, Maas said, so as to avoid a scenario where Europe is put in the middle of a tug-of-war between Russia and the US.  Germany to Washington: Don't Even Think About Placing Nuclear Missiles in Europe After INF Withdrawal Tyler Durden  Who wants to be a target for Russian medium-range nukes? Not the Germans Washington's decision to drop out of the INF has fueled speculation about the return of a full-blown, Cold-War style nuclear arms race, as Russia has reflexively threatened to build up its tactical defenses along Europe's periphery in the face of what's expected to be a buildup of A

Guido offers plan to save Venezuela

A supporter of Guaydou lifts a banner reading "Freedom" during protests in Caracas Guido offers plan to save Venezuela Venezuelan President Juan Guido, who announced himself as the country's interim president, on Thursday presented his plan to lift the country out of its economic and social crisis and impose itself against President Nicolas Maduro, who is under intense US and European pressure. "We will work to make the economy stable, and we will respond immediately to the humanitarian emergency, restore public services and overcome poverty," Guido, 35, told the Venezuelan National Assembly. "We know how to do it," he said. In an article published in the New York Times on Wednesday, Guido wrote that support for the Venezuelan army was "crucial" in bringing down the Maduro regime, noting that secret meetings were held with members of the security forces. He stressed that most of his interlocutors agreed that the current situation in th

Britain may request Prescott

British Foreign Minister Britain may request Prescott British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Thursday that the United Kingdom could be delayed from the European Union beyond the March 29 date if a secession agreement was delayed. "It is true that if we finally reach an agreement in the days leading up to March 29, we may need more time to pass the necessary legislation," Hunt told BBC Radio 4 "But if we can make progress earlier, it may not be necessary," he said. "We can not know at the current stage which of these two scenarios might be achieved The other 27 EU countries should approve any request for deferral.

Experts say that the first field army was the Syrian Arab Army during the establishment of the United Arab Republic, which was based in Syria and was named after the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser. After the separation between Egypt and Syria, however, the second and third army in Egypt became the second army. The third army in the city of Suez.

ODNI releases annual overview of Islamic State and al Qaeda networks BY -THOMAS JOSCELYN

ODNI releases annual overview of Islamic State and al Qaeda networks BY THOMAS JOSCELYN The Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) released its annual “Worldwide Threat Assessment” today. The written statement accompanied oral testimony given by Director Daniel Coats to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. The ODNI warns that both the Islamic State and al Qaeda maintain global networks that are far from defeated. The Islamic State still has “thousands” of fighters in Iraq and Syria alone, contradicting claims by President Trump and other administration officials that the so-called caliphate has been defeated. The map above is the ODNI’s assessment of the areas where the Islamic State, al Qaeda and affiliated groups operate. The Islamic State and al Qaeda remain bitter rivals, often clashing in some of the areas shown. However, both have a significant global footprint. Al Qaeda’s senior leadership and global network Despite years of counterterrorism pressure,

What people in 1900 thought the year 2000 would look like By Ana Swanson

What people in 1900 thought the year 2000 would look like By Ana Swanson There are few things as fascinating as seeing what people in the past dreamed about the future. "France in the Year 2000" is one example. The series of paintings, made by Jean-Marc Côté and other French artists in 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1910, shows artist depictions of what life might look like in the year 2000. The first series of images were printed and enclosed in cigarette and cigar boxes around the time of the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, according to the Public Domain Review, then later turned into postcards. Lots of their ideas involve mechanized devices, flying, or a combination of the two. Some, strangely, involve people interacting in a very close and personal way with marine life. As Open Culture points out, however, there are no images of space travel. Some of the portraits are fantastic -- swashbucklers riding on giant seahorses, anyone? But others are actually surprisingly accurat
