Russia strictly complies with its commitments in accordance with the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction (the Chemical Weapons Convention – CWC). On June 12, it announced that all sarin chemical agent stockpiles had been destroyed. Before that Russia had also eliminated the stockpiles of mustard gas and soman. All in all, Russia has destroyed 99% of all stockpiles. The ones left are sophisticated munitions; it takes time to eliminate them.
The conflict between Qatar and the alliance of Muslim countries led by Saudi Arabia emphasizes that today’s international relations, at least in the Middle East, are closer to the classical model of domination, rivalries and coalitions defined by national interests than to post–Cold War dreams of a world politics free of conflicts, and based on liberal consensus and cooperation. Among the major powers, Russia might be the best prepared to act within such an order...
The Foreign Ministry of Germany and the Chancellor of Austria have released a joint statement condemning new anti-Russian sanctions which were recently passed by the US Senate by a majority of 98 to 2. Only Rand Paul on the libertarian right of the Republican party and Bernie Sanders on the vocalist left of the Democratic party voted against the measures. Interestingly, both men were candidates in the primaries of the 2016 US Presidential election.

The Russian military is currently investigating to verify that its forces had killed Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in Syria late last month.

Alex Jones has made good on his threat to release a recording of the entire, unedited interview he conducted with Megyn Kelly. The tape also includes pre-interviewer segments.
Jones has been fuming over NBC editing the interview Kelly conducted which according to Jones, makes him look like he has advocated causes he has never advocated for while taking other remarks totally out of context.
Now that the witch hunt against President Trump has shifted from Russian election hacking, to Russian election meddling, to Russian democracy bombs, to obstruction of justice…CNN hosted Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel appointed to investigate Bill Clinton’s many scandals.
Starr of course was at the center of the Monica Lewinsky case, which eventually lead to Clinton’s impeachment., but not removal from the office of President.
CNN…
“Do you think there is a case there?”
Starr replied…
It’s another week in Washington and another horror show. This time it was Attorney General Jeff Sessions being grilled by Senators on whether, when, and how he might have met with certain Russians, or any Russian, or someone who might actually know a Russian. In addition to fishing for any inconsistency that could be used to support an accusation of obstruction of justice or perjury – the usual sleazy methodology of politically motivated investigations here – the transparent aim was to further poison the well on any possible initiative to improve ties with Moscow.
As the CIA backed Washington Post continues to spread leaks of possible investigations into Trump obstruction, in a blitzkrieg effort to remove Donald Trump from the office of US President, Trump unleashed a twitter truth bomb on the hypocrisy of the entire special counsel investigation, which has morphed from Russian election hacking, to Russian election meddling, to Russian democracy bombs, to the present obstruction of justice.
US President Donald Trump’s reported decision to delegate the Afghan war to Defense Secretary James Mattis reflects smart thinking.
Gunnar Wennerberg är Uppsalas Bellman. Han skildrade studentlivet så som Bellman skildrade Stockholmsbohemen. Han skapade på 1840-talet bilden av hur studenten skulle vara, och inte minst, hur studentlivet skulle levas i Staden af evig ungdom. Den bilden har blivit normgivande och lever fortfarande kvar. En student skulle gå på som en ”turk”:
Nej! Ingenstäds i vida världen finns en vrå,
där man hela dygnet om kan leva så
utan risk och bara immerbadd gå på
just som turkar och få heta folk ändå.

Indonesia and Malaysia, and other countries with sizeable Muslim minorities, like the Philippines, realize just how vulnerable they are. They have been on high alert for fighters returning home from Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) front lines in Syria and Iraq. The group has made known its ambition to create Southeast Asian provinces of the ISIS caliphate. According to a report published by the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC), a Jakarta think-tank, Southeast Asia faces a growing risk of extremist violence to encompass the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia...
For a magician, the greater the illusion attempted, the more showmanship that’s required to distract audiences from that fact that it is indeed just an illusion. For US politics, something very similar applies, particularly regarding the latest, ongoing narrative surrounding alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.
In the distant future (and perhaps even in the not-so-distant future) industrial civilization will need to abandon its relentless pursuit of unnecessary material goods and economic growth. Modern society will need to re-establish a balanced and harmonious relationship with nature. In preindustrial societies harmony with nature is usually a part of the cultural tradition. In our own time, the same[Read More...]

If you’re planning to spend summer days by the pool or beach-side, you’ll likely reach for a bottle of sunscreen to prevent you from becoming red and crispy. These products are not all created equal, however, and it can be difficult to know what to purchase when you’re staring at the multitude of options available at the supermarket. Thankfully, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has put out a list of the best and worst sunscreens every year since 2007 to help you decide.
In a paradoxical development in the current Saudi-Qatari dispute, Qatar and the United States Wednesday signed a deal to buy F-15 fighter jets for $12 billion while two US warships arrived in Qatar for joint exercise. Tellingly, the $12 billion deal was signed despite Qatar being criticized by U.S. President Donald Trump for supporting “terrorism.” The Bloomberg News quoted[Read More...]

We often hear the Russia-haters accuse Vladimir Putin of murdering journalists: when Oliver Stone recently challenged the veracity of that unproved charge, he was booed by Stephen Colbert’s audience of trained seals hand-raisers.

Yesterday, the Eurogroup came up with another fudge, another extend-and-pretend loan tranche, for Greece. It is, as this annotated version of the Eurogroup statement explains, a further boost to Greece’s never-ending crisis. Greece’s creditors, the EU and the IMF, are refusing even to discuss Greece’s recovery, Greece’s escape from debtor’s prison.
