Bolivien hinterfragt Handeln der UNO im Gaza-Streifen

„Wir bedauern zutiefst, dass der Sicherheitsrat in diesem Fall keine Maßnahmen ergreift“, so Llorent. Er verwies darauf, dass die Haltung der Vereinigten Staaten dessen Entscheidungen beeinflusse.

Drei Beispiele wo Geheimdienste, Presse und Partei-Funktionäre uns zu früh abschrieben oder zu spät von uns

Beispiel 1: der gescheiterte Putsch gegen Bashir Assad und die Invasion von Syrien durch Proxy-Armeen wie den “Islamischen Staat”.
