BlogsDie Kunst der Politik besteht darin, das Brot auf beiden Seiten zu buttern…..Many thousands of people have fallen victim to war in Ukraine over the past eight years. Indeed, another “defeat of humanity”. Every day sooner that the weapons rest means saving human lives. An early positive outcome of the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine should therefore be desired by everyone. But many who are currently condemning this war are doing so with quite bellicose intentions. Unfortunately, this is also the case in Germany. German politicians speak about peace – but what do they do about it? by Karl-Jürgen Müller
bombing people in strict compliance with "the blinken rules-based world order"….The recent Russophobic frenzy by Washington and its Western allies over Russia’s special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine with more and more anti-Russian sanctions imposed each passing day, makes one involuntarily wonder: why then doesn’t the West react in the same way to another special operation – the one Turkey is conducting on Iraqi territory? And how, in fact, are the two special operations different in their international treatment? As you know, Turkey launched another (sic!) military special operation in Northern Iraq on April 18, striking the hideouts, bunkers, caves and warehouses of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). “We’re determined to save our noble nation from the scourge of terrorism,” said the country’s Minister of Defense Khulusi Akar, adding “Our struggle will continue until the last terrorist is neutralized.”

JCB bulldozers are used to raze down shops of muslims in northwest delhi’s jahangirpuri ……...The criticism of UK PM Boris Johnson by Amnesty International comes as he is already facing a growing clamour to step down for breaching COVID rules by partying with his cabinet colleagues at his official residence during the lockdown in 2020. Johnson has been fined by police and even rendered a parliamentary apology. Global human rights watchdog Amnesty International has hit out at British Prime Minister Boris Johnson for a visit to a new bulldozer-manufacturing factory located in the west Indian city of Vadodara in Gujarat state.
slowly, coming to realise the imperative of snail-pace sanctions……..![]() Before late February, Germany had been cool to US demands that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline be canceled, saying the gas it would bring to Europe was essential and dissenting from US plans to further antagonize Russia over Eastern European security issues. However, the NATO ally soon fell into line after a personal visit from US President Joe Biden. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen praised European efforts to wean off Russian energy imports, but cautioned against the destructive effects of doing so too quickly. Her comments come as European leaders continue to debate boycotting Russian oil and gas products.
The Sailor's Second ChanceMany a valiant sailor’s gone
to Davy Jones’ crew
given all in saving life,
bade the world adieu
Hear the tale of how I fell
forever far from land
only to return again
by Davy Jones’ hand
Our ship was a Destroyer
her job to guard and lead
refugees of wartime storm
that never could spill blood
Sailing in a midnight sea
beneath a sky of black
waves smashed Davy Jones’ rage
In blows upon our deck.
not laughing enough….

US mongrels in mongolia?...
We, Mongols and friends of Mongolia, strongly condemn Russian state-sponsored fake news about biolabs in Mongolia, allegedly set up by US and German companies. We demand to stop outrageous slanders that Mongolia’s biolabs are creating bioweapons specifically targeting Chinese people, thus impeding Mongolia’s neighborly relations with China. We strongly condemn any attempts to instigate war in Mongolia, and on Asian continent using false pretexts and propaganda. We demand to stop it immediately and to bring to responsibility any government and news agencies, politicians and private citizens spreading it.
isolating the west from multipolarity…..The Western sanctions against Russia, decided unilaterally by Washington, are presented as a just punishment for the aggression against Ukraine. But, without mentioning their illegality under international law, everyone can see that they do not reach their target. In practice, the United States is isolating the West in the hope of maintaining its hegemony over its allies.

There are signs on the community noticeboard for a protest meeting against the local council’s plans to close Stanhope’s swimming pool. There are spaces in the once crowded car park at the Fonterra dairy processing factory. The primary school, which a few years ago had about 30 students, now has 15.
The US "deposed" soekarno in 1967 and NATO destroyed yugoslavia in 1999……..In keeping with the tradition maintained over all previous years, the Belgrade Forum for the World of Equals is marking 24 March, remembering this day back in 1999 when the NATO Alliance’s illegal and criminal aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (the FRY) began, thus paying tribute to the fallen defenders of the motherland and the killed civilians.
no justice…...WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The US Justice Department has declined Sputnik’s request for a comment regarding the London court’s decision to allow WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be extradited to the United States. "We decline to comment," the Justice Department said on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, the UK Westminster Magistrate's Court ordered Assange to be extradited to the United States, where he is facing a possible sentence of up to 175 years in prison. WikiLeaks Editor-in-Chief Kristinn Hrafnsson said the UK court effectively signed Assange’s death sentence. He also said Assange’s fate now is in hands of UK Home Secretary Priti Patel and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
human rights denied by UK/USA…...A magistrates court in London has issued a formal order to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the US to face espionage charges there, and a possible life imprisonment. Wednesday's ruling may be appealed. The Westminster Magistrates’ Court decision reverses its previous ruling that denied the US extradition to the US based on Assange’s poor mental state and the harsh conditions in American high-security prisons. UK Home Secretary Priti Patel will need to authorize the extradition before it can be executed. WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson said the UK court was issuing a “death sentence” to Assange by passing its decision. He is facing up to 175 years in prison under the espionage charges he faces in the US indictment.
