George Friedman speaking at The World in 2050 : Characteristics of New Rising Powers

The European Commission was sued for not blocking money for Poland.

"An unprecedented legal case is taking place in the European Union," Euronews writes.

Four legal organizations, including the European Association of Judges, filed lawsuits against the European Commission due to the fact that it approved the allocation of 35 billion euros to Poland from the pandemic response fund.

Lawyers point out that Warsaw refuses to comply with the decision of the European Court of Justice to reform its judicial system. In this regard, the EC is obliged to block the allocation of funds to Poland.

Thieving - attempts to secure gas from Yemen

 
French Foreign Legion arrives in Yemen to secure gas facility

France reportedly aims to export gas from the facility in Shabwah in order to reduce Europe's reliance on Russian fuel

News Desk; August 18 2022

National Salvation Government (NSG) in Yemen has expressed concern over what it called “suspicious” activity by US and French troops stationed south of the war-torn country.

The discussion took place during a parliamentary session held by NSG officials on 17 August.

The suspicious activity cited by the NSG refers to a claim made by Yemen’s former Foreign Minister, Abu Bakr al-Qirbi, who said that French Foreign Legion, a French military force comprising of foreign nationals, has arrived in Yemen’s Shabwah province to secure control of the Balhaf gas facility.

The former minister said that there are French “preparations being made to export gas from the Balhaf facility … in light of increased international gas prices,” and in an attempt to reduce Europe’s reliance on Russian fuel amid the global energy crisis exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine.

Al-Qirbi also suggested that the French move “could be the reason for events in Shabwah,” referring to recent clashes between UAE-backed mercenary groups and Islah Party forces affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and the Saudi-backed President Leadership Council (PLC).

In July, Paris and Abu Dhabi signed an energy cooperation deal for the joint production of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

According to reports from earlier in the year, the energy cooperation between the two countries is aimed at securing control over Yemeni gas resources through the Balhaf facility, which is owned by French multinational oil and gas company TotalEnergies SE.

Al-Qirbi noted that the recent arrival of French forces to the area is meant to “provide protection for the facility.”

France has recently fallen under scrutiny over its involvement in the brutal, Saudi-led war against Yemen.

On 2 June, a number of rights groups announced the filing of a lawsuit in a Paris court against three French arms-producing companies, alleging that they are complicit in war crimes committed in Yemen for the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

The Yemeni people have demanded the withdrawal of all illegally occupying foreign forces in the country, including recently deployed US military troops, who are there under the pretext of fighting terrorism and aiding the coalition.

According to Abdulaziz Saleh bin Habtoor, Yemen’s Prime Minister, the recent looting operations carried out by the Saudi-led coalition have been taking place under US directives, as part of a scheme by Washington to secure control over Yemeni oil through its Gulf allies.

2) Jika kbA gagal untuk membentuk kerajaan p boleh lompat ke khemah besar B (kbB), secara satu parti - atas dasar, sebab atau alasan demi membantu kawasan-kawasan (sekadar beberapa kerusi sahaja) yang telah dimenangi p,  serta negara & rakyat dlm pembentukkan kerajaan.

From Russian MFA (Minister of Foreign Affairs) - Remembering NAGASAKI

On August 9, 1945 at precisely 11:02 A.M. − 7️⃣7️⃣ years ago − the world became witness to the most horrific atrocity − the A-bombings of Nagasaki. It was an act of utter cruelty & barbarism. The city, full of civilians, was obliterated, some 70'000 people perished instantaneously.

 It is our duty to remember & ensure that history never repeats itself.

 FM Sergey Lavrov: To this day, the terrible death of innocent civilians strikes a chord with millions of people on our planet.

We must join our efforts to ensure that the terror and pain of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will never repeat. 

Sergey Lavrov’s message to the participants of the memorial ceremony in Hiroshima

Russian FM Sergey Lavrov: On August 6, 1945, the United States launched a nuclear attack against Hiroshima and three days later against Nagasaki. 

To this day, the terrible death of innocent civilians strikes a chord with millions of people on our planet. It is hard to fully understand what the masterminds and perpetrators of such an inhumane act were guided by.

The Soviet offensive in the Far East, as part of the agreements between the Allies, not only liberated China and Korea, but also took away Japan’s motivation to continue military operations. In that situation, atomic bombings by the United States were in fact a show of force and an operational test of nuclear weapons on civilians. 

🇺🇸 United States was the first and only country to use this type of weapons of mass destruction.

Ilhan Omar favoured to win US Congress primary, but faces tough challenges

Ilhan Omar is running for third term in Congress in Minnesota's 5th district. Although she is predicted to win, she faces serious challenges from a Democrat in the primary on Tuesday and a Republican in the general election in November

Excerpt below : 

Unlike some of her progressive counterparts, Omar has not faced an onslaught of attack ads by AIPAC during this election cycle, possibly because she is not generally seen as vulnerable in her deep blue district that has largely stayed the same with redistricting after the 2020 census.

There are few polls available for this race, but one from June by Change Research has Omar leading with 60 percent, way ahead of Samuels at 21 percent. 

"I’m increasingly seeing an urban contingent, often more educated voters, going for these hard-left candidates," said Coleman.

"That would benefit Omar. In urban areas, we’re seeing more of an appetite for candidates like [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] AOC who want to take the fight to Republicans. In this district, Trump took less than 20 percent of the vote. They can nominate a pretty solid progressive."

Nevertheless, any competition means she has to fight for her seat, something she did in 2020 with another serious primary challenger, Antone Melton-Meaux. She was then challenged by a well-funded Republican in the general election, whom she also beat decisively. 

"The fact that she keeps getting well-funded and credible challengers shows some discontent in her district," Michael Minta, professor of political science at the University of Minnesota, told TNA. The heavy funding of Omar and her Democratic and Republican challengers has made Minnesota’s 5th district one of the most expensive races in the country.

Throw back - August 6, 1945,

On August 6, 1945, an American pilot dropped an atomic bomb named Little Boy on Hiroshima. 80 thousand people who were at a distance of 800 eight hundred meters from the epicenter of the explosion turned into coal. The fire tornado covered 11 square kilometers of the city. More than 200 thousand people died from the effects of explosions and radiation.

For 77 years, the United States has pleaded not guilty to the war crime committed – the nuclear bombing of the civilian population of Hiroshima.
