MSF report: No mercy for civilians in Ukraine

Accounts from MSF’s patients reveal how children and elderly people are affected by heavy weaponry and indiscriminate attacks.

The war in Ukraine is indiscriminately harming civilians who are struck by heavy weaponry in their homes, shelters, and evacuation routes, according to a report released today by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which is based on the experiences of patients that the organization has evacuated from eastern Ukraine by train.

Egypt is cozying up to Russia. It’s time for the US to step in.

In June, Russia’s state-owned atomic energy firm, Rosatom, made a surprise announcement that it would begin producing equipment for Egypt’s first nuclear power plant in the northwest town of El-Dabaa. The new development has raised concerns in the United States and Europe -which harbor resentment toward Russia for its aggression against Ukraine and see the continuation of the project as a sign of Egypt cozying up to Moscow.

Fear of confronting Putin will lead to Russian victory in Ukraine

The magnificent resistance of the Ukrainian people has drawn the admiration of the whole world but we must have no illusions. Without a clear shift in policy by the US, NATO and the EU, Ukraine will not win. The consequences of this will be severe, not only for Ukraine itself but for the West and the wider international community.

Το μεγάλο παζάρι στο ΝΑΤΟ και τα κέρδη του Ερντογάν

Ο σκληρός εκβιασμός Ερντογάν έπιασε, οδηγώντας σε μια ταπεινωτική, σε ορισμένα σημεία της, Συμφωνία με τη Σουηδία και τη Φινλανδία, που επιτρέπει στις δυο χώρες να ξεκινήσουν την ενταξιακή διαδικασία στο ΝΑΤO και προσφέρει στον Τούρκο ηγέτη την ευκαιρία να εμφανισθεί σήμερα στη Σύνοδο Κορυφής του ΝΑΤΟ ως ο «σωτήρας» από το αδιέξοδο στο οποίο ο ίδιος είχε οδηγήσει τη Συμμαχία.

Pääkirjoitus: Suomen jäsenyyden venyttäminen olisi ollut synkkä tahra Naton maineeseen – Turkin oli taivuttava

Tiistai-illan neuvottelujen venyminen tuntitolkulla Naton Madridin huippukokouksessa loi jo tunnelmaa, että ehkä jotakin on luvassa.

Suomen aikaa kello 21 jälkeen presidentti Sauli Niinistö pääsikin ilmoittamaan, että Turkki tukee sittenkin Suomen ja Ruotsin jäsenyysneuvotteluiden aloittamista. Suomi ja Ruotsi kutsutaan Naton jäseniksi keskiviikkona.

Biden’s Energy Crisis

The ongoing world energy crisis… seems to have proven for once and all that energy independence is a matter of national security.

To transition to renewable energy, America would have to transform its energy infrastructure and invest heavily in wind turbines, solar panels and electric cars, all of which require rare earth materials as central components. A single industrial-size wind turbine, for instance, requires about one ton of four different kinds of rare earth materials.

Turkey: Jihad against Cyprus

Turkey is now using the distraction of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a cover to increase its likelihood of officially annexing Cyprus’s north.

It is not just part of the island country of Cyprus that is being occupied and demeaned. What is being occupied, colonized, and culturally destroyed is a significant part of Western history and civilization. It is part of the “Great Replacement” predicted for Europe but ridiculed as a “conspiracy theory”. One only need look back at the replacement of the Christian Byzantine Empire by the Ottoman Empire and then Turkey, or the replacement of the indigenous Copts in Egypt. With Cyprus and Greece under attack from Turkey, where are the West’s principles, strength and resolve?
