US Ambassador to Ukraine Gives Nazis Green Light

The events in Mariupol, Donetsk region (when neo-Nazi Azov fighters shot at a peaceful demonstration of residents on May 9, 2014) were hailed by Pyatt as an example of the struggle against the “Russian world” for all of Donbass during his meeting with representatives of the local government.

May 9 is a holiday that commemorates the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union at the end of Second World War, known in the Soviet Union as the Great Patriotic War. (25 million Soviet citizens were killed fighting the Hitler Army.) It‘s obvious that the US is trying to erase this history inside of Ukraine by encouraging the current US sponsored puppet regime in Kiev to use their neo-Nazi battalions to suppress any peaceful marches or assemblies that gather to remember the defeat of Hitler‘s forces.

First-ever ‘tailless’ comet discovered, could give clue to solar system formation

Scientists believe the comet was formed in the same region as Earth, the inner solar system, unlike most others that “are born” at much greater distances. Researchers say the planet then ejected and reached the so-called Oort Cloud, a cold region that preserved the comet from the sun for billions of years. At some point it entered an orbit that was in range for observation and study.

Across the region, different ethnic groups organize themselves in caracoles, where decisions are taken at the community level by local assemblies.

Manifest by Kazakh President Calls for Global Nuclear Disarmament, Steps to End Global Conflicts

This was the ambition that President Nazarbayev set out in the Manifest “The World. The 21st Century” published during this visit and outlined in his speech at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. It is a document that mixes the vision of a world in which the “virus of war” has been eradicated with practical steps to achieve that vision.

In what was a detailed blueprint for peace, he called, for example, for urgent action to prevent the spread of nuclear arms to space, the development of new and more dangerous weapons and the retreat into competing military blocs. “We should have learnt from past wars and conflicts that it is impossible to ensure our own security by undermining the security of others,” the President warned.

Saudis seek to intensify sectarian tension in Iraq: Expert

Isa: Basically we see Biden flying into Iraq unannounced, which follows hot on the heels of Kerry, the foreign minister of America, also going to Iraq on the eighth of this month. They have a simple message that we are basically in control, we are the ones running the show, we are the ones calling the shots and we are intensifying and escalating our presence in Iraq, more boots on the ground and this time they are combat forces, more strategic bases built in Iraq and all this according to the Americans under the acceptance of the Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who is facilitating the increase of the American forces on Iraqi soil.
