There is no legitimate reason not to release the complete Sep. 2 video.

They released video of the first strike. What national security justification could there be for releasing video of the first part of the action but not the second? They wanted to cover up what happened after the first strike.

You'd think us violating Irish neutrality in an apparent attempt to assassinate Zelensky by forcing his plane to crash would be bigger news.

For the Irish for a start.

Sikorski: Please note the statement by the Sec Gen that the NATO-Russia Council no longer exists and that the so-called Founding Act of the NATO-Russia Council no longer exists either. This is something that successive Polish governments have been striving for, and now it has become a reality.

Neville Chamberlain you may rest in peace at last. You never really deserved all the ignominy you received, but now history will have someone to focus on who will likely never receive all the ignominy he deserves.

100% wrong.

Russia fought to annihilate Ukraine. Ukraine fought to survive as an independent nation. Territory is secondary in this war.

"Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself"

Devastating toxic spill seen as test of whether African countries can stand up to China Chinese companies provide jobs and much needed revenue in Zambia, where the disaster took place.

China has also been accused of neocolonialism, critics arguing that its infrastructure loans trap African countries in unmanageable debt, doesn't upskill local workers, preferring to bring its own in instead, and its focus on mineral extraction comes at the expense of safeguarding the environment.
