Ukraine war means more money for the Pentagon --Mike Brest, Defense Reporter

  Ukraine war means more money for the Pentagon by Mike Brest, Defense Reporter The war in Ukraine will likely cost the United States billions more in Pentagon funding in the near future. Earlier this week, the White House submitted a supplemental funding request to Congress asking for $10 billion to support Ukraine. The proposal includes $4.8 billion in additional funds for the Department of Defense to cover the costs associated with the deployment of U.S. troops to European allies and to restock the supply of weapons provided to Ukraine. US CALLS RUSSIAN ATTACK ON UKRAINIAN POWER PLANT A 'WAR CRIME' "The United States is committed to supporting the Ukrainian people as they defend their country and democracy," acting Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young wrote in a statement outlining the request. "These resources will mean additional defense equipment for Ukraine, lifesaving humanitarian assistance — such as emergency food assistance — for the

Pool photo by Steffi Loos What You Need to Know About Germany’s National Election By Melissa Eddy Germans will vote on a new government Sunday, one without Angela Merkel, who will step down after 16 years in power. Sept. 26, 2021, 2:06 a.m. ET BERLIN — Germans will vote on a new government on Sunday and for the first time since 2005, Angela Merkel is not running. After nearly 16 years in power, Ms. Merkel, 67, will leave control of Europe’s largest economy to a new chancellor. The race for the chancellery is wide open and in the wake of Brexit and the election of President Biden in the United States, the world will be watching to see which direction Germans take their country. What is at stake? Guiding Germany out of the coronavirus pandemic, with a focus on reviving the economy, remains a most pressing issue on the domestic front. Climate policies, which have become more urgent after recent flood

Hamas recycles shells from British ships sunk off Gaza during WWI

HMS M15 was sunk on 11 November, 1917 [Imperial War Museums/Wikipedia]  Hamas recycles shells from British ships sunk off Gaza during WWI by aletho MEMO | September 15, 2020 The military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement has apparently recycled shells found on the wrecks of British warships which were sunk off the coast of Gaza during World War One. In a documentary film broadcast on Sunday, Al Jazeera revealed that Al-Qassam Brigades could in such a way overcome the consequences of the Israeli-led siege imposed on Gaza, which are in part intended to undermine its ability to manufacture weapons. The internationally-backed siege has been in place for over 14 years. During this time, Israel has carried out three major offensives that have together killed thousands of Palestinians, wounded tens of thousands more and devastated the civilian infrastructure in the coastal territory. For the first time, Hamas allowed its arms factories to be filmed. The documentary showed Ha

Warning Signs for Biden: Focus Group Demonstrates Why Wisconsin Is in Play Guy Benson

  Warning Signs for Biden: Focus Group Demonstrates Why Wisconsin Is in Play Guy BensonGuy Benson On my radio show yesterday, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson -- who was wrongly written off as a surefire loser four years ago, based on polls that turned out to be off by around six points -- said he believes the presidential race in his state is a tossup. The latest RealClearPolitics average of the contest in the Badger state gives former Vice President Joe Biden a four-point lead, boosted by a new Fox News survey showing the Democrat ahead by eight points. President Trump visited the state on Tuesday to look at the damage of four nights of rioting last week in the small city of Kenosha. Wisconsin's Democratic governor failed to take decisive action to stop the destruction until after people were killed, turning down federal help and deploying far fewer resources than local officials had requested, then urged Trump not to visit to survey the wreckage of their failures. Joe Biden's camp

Algeria wants to become a satellite of Western interests in Africa --By Lucas Leiroz

Algeria wants to become a satellite of Western interests in Africa by aletho By Lucas Leiroz | June 1, 2020 The current geopolitical situation in North Africa and the Sahel can be radically changed and hardened if the new Algerian constitution allows the army to participate in operations outside its national borders. Paris and Washington are already supporting this change. Article 95 of the new Constitution under review will open up the possibility for the "National People's Army" to participate in "efforts to maintain peace at the regional and international level". None of the five previous Algerian constitutions since independence from France in 1962 offered this possibility. As it appears in the constitutional project, the decision of this eventual military participation abroad must be approved by two thirds of the Parliament and it would not depend on the unilateral decision of the president, who is also the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. According

China is the first topic in the US elections

China is the first topic in the US elections  I have received many messages from friends explaining to me the level of differences between the Democratic presidential candidates and President Donald Trump, the Republican President, which strengthens our previous belief that the US elections went beyond being an American internal matter but rather a global issue whose results concern all of humankind in the issues of the World Trade Organization and climate and the spread of Virus Coffed - 19. It is important to think seriously that the election of a president who will live in the White House is an American affair, but rather a global affair with issues that will affect the future of man on a planet. Based on the above data, I present to you this letter form. Fellow Conservative, This is totally unacceptable. While the Chinese Communist Party covered up its responsibility in the coronavirus crisis, a Chinese company invested in my opponent Mark Kelly’s venture. China is hoping my o

US veterans survive foreign battlefields only to die back at home from invisible enemies like Covid-19 & suicide - Robert Bridge

He is the author of the book, 'Midnight in the American Empire,' How Corporations and Their Political Servants are Destroying the American Dream. @Robert_Bridge This Memorial Day, America is confronted with the task of honoring members of its armed forces who died while serving a globe-spanning killing machine, while those veterans who made it home are dying from a host of afflictions. When Americans think of honoring their fallen servicemen and women, the image that quickly comes to mind is that of a soldier dying heroically, albeit needlessly, on some distant battlefield. There may even be some special effects borrowed f

Beijing slaps tariffs on Australian barley; it has had enough of Canberra’s toadying to US on China hostility By Finian Cunningham

Beijing slaps tariffs on Australian barley; it has had enough of Canberra’s toadying to US on China hostility By Finian Cunningham  The US has counted on Australia’s government and PM as minions in its long-running conflict with China. Now, for Canberra’s dubious services, Australian farmers are reaping a bitter harvest from lost access to China’s vast market. Beijing announced this week it was slapping 80-percent tariffs on Australian exports of barley. That effectively shuts off China as a market. This followed a ban by Beijing on supplies of Australian beef. Given that China is the biggest market for Australian agricultural goods, the move is a severe blow, with fears of more curbs on a range of other products, from wine to wool, as well as on the wider sectors of coal and iron ore. Beijing claims the trade measures are a result of technical issues concerning alleged misuse of subsidies by the Australian government to make its exports more competitive. But that’s doubtless a

The final solution: Resistance until Freedom,” the text on the
