What I want to share with you today is a promo movie by Zvezda TV, the semi-official TV channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense, at the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the Russian Airborne Forces.

By Sayed Hasan Translated from French by Jenny Bright for Tlaxcala While Saudi Arabia is trying its best to supplant Israel in terms of crime, terror and barbarism, pushing a whole country to the edge of the abyss to general indifference, the poorest of the Arab countries gives the world a lesson in courage, dignity and lucidity, following the example of the Palestinian people.

by Ghassan Kadi THE United States of America and the Soviet Union had equal footing in the Levant’s main crisis; namely the Arab-Israeli conflict in the 1950’s, 1960’s and the first half of the 70’s.

by GH Eliason It’s true! President Barack Obama beat Russia’s President Putin to the punch by recognizing the right of Donbas to ascend to the fraternity of nations first.

By Nahed Hatter Al Akhbar 5 August 2105 Translated by Ghassan Kadi and Intibah Kadi. The regional and international scene looks like a kaleidoscope of colours in a fantasy painting. However, this is what is currently happening in between two phases and two regional regimes.

Last week Taliban militants seized wide areas in the northern Afghan provinces of Kunduz, Sar-i-Pul and Badakhshan. They are continuing to advance there and in the country’s north despite the death of Taliban’s head Mullah Omar. The Afghan
by JiminNH It has become a common occurrence for the western ruling elites, and their propaganda ministries of the mainstream media euphemistically called the “free press”, to immediately blame Russia for a litany of perceived misconduct, whether there are grounds for such allegations or not.
