Unsurprisingly after the recapture of Izium, near Kharkov, by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (FAU), Ukraine is doing a reissue of Boutcha, trying to use the graves of civilians killed by bombing and those of its soldiers killed during the battle for the control of the city, to make believe in a massacre of civilians by the Russians.
Moreover, if the Russians had really mass-executed civilians at Izium, why would they bother to bury them individually with a cross and all the proper burial ritual?
Burying Ukrainian civilians and soldiers as much as possible in individual graves with a cross, and the name of the person, or an indication that they are soldiers, shows that the Russians have done show of humanity towards the dead they found after the battles for the capture of Izioum.

Germany claims that Novichok was found in Navalny's blood, in his urine and on his skin, and in a bottle he had with him when he boarded the plane in Tomsk... Now, if there really had been a poisoning, the only person or people who could have done it are a trusted cohort following the orders of Navalny's western sponsors (Putin-hating Soros and criminal Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky) in view of Navalny's constant and persistent failures over the years at destabilizing Putin and the Kremlin, and who may well have thought that Navalny serves their agenda better if he dies and becomes a "martyr" than if he stays alive and well. That is if indeed there was any Novichock anywhere on Navalny, in Navalny and in that bottle, which I seriously doubt since in view of the treatment he received at the hospital in Omsk, he would have died there had he been poisoned with Novichok.
Note that Navalny drank some tea during an unscheduled and unplanned stop at a coffee shop in the airport in Tomsk - there again, only someone in his entourage could have put poison in his tea, if he actually was poisoned.
I mean, think about it. First, they poison him with the deadliest chemical weapon in the world, then they do their best to save his life and finally send him to Germany so that the Germans could establish that he was poisoned with the deadliest chemical weapon in the world. No one else was affected, including his assistants and entourage, and there were no protective suits around, not even on the Russian doctors who treated him. The whole thing beggars belief!

_Shortly before his untimely death, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that “Al Qaeda” is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Courtesy of World Affairs, a journal based in New Delhi, WMR can bring you an important excerpt from an Apr.-Jun. 2004 article by Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence.
_
“I first heard about Al-Qaida while I was attending the Command and Staff course in Jordan. I was a French officer at that time and the French Armed Forces had close contacts and cooperation with Jordan . . .
“Two of my Jordanian colleagues were experts in computers. They were air defense officers. Using computer science slang, they introduced a series of jokes about students’ punishment.
“For example, when one of us was late at the bus stop to leave the Staff College, the two officers used to tell us: ‘You’ll be noted in ‘Q eidat il-Maaloomaat’ which meant ‘You’ll be logged in the information database.’ Meaning ‘You will receive a warning . . .’ If the case was more severe, they would used to talk about ‘Q eidat i-Taaleemaat.’ Meaning ‘the decision database.’ It meant ‘you will be punished.’ For the worst cases they used to speak of logging in ‘Al Qaida.’
“In the early 1980s the Islamic Bank for Development, which is located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, like the Permanent Secretariat of the Islamic Conference Organization, bought a new computerized system to cope with its accounting and communication requirements. At the time the system was more sophisticated than necessary for their actual needs.
“It was decided to use a part of the system’s memory to host the Islamic Conference’s database. It was possible for the countries attending to access the database by telephone: an Intranet, in modern language. The governments of the member-countries as well as some of their embassies in the world were connected to that network.
“[According to a Pakistani major] the database was divided into two parts, the information file where the participants in the meetings could pick up and send information they needed, and the decision file where the decisions made during the previous sessions were recorded and stored. In Arabic, the files were called, ‘Q eidat il-Maaloomaat’ and ‘Q eidat i-Taaleemaat.’ Those two files were kept in one file called in Arabic ‘Q eidat ilmu’ti’aat’ which is the exact translation of the English word database. But the Arabs commonly used the short word Al Qaida which is the Arabic word for “base.” The military air base of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is called ‘q eidat ‘riyadh al ‘askariya.’ Q eida means “a base” and “Al Qaida” means “the base.”
“In the mid-1980s, Al Qaida was a database located in computer and dedicated to the communications of the Islamic Conference’s secretariat.
“In the early 1990s, I was a military intelligence officer in the Headquarters of the French Rapid Action Force. Because of my skills in Arabic my job was also to translate a lot of faxes and letters seized or intercepted by our intelligence services . . . We often got intercepted material sent by Islamic networks operating from the UK or from Belgium.
“These documents contained directions sent to Islamic armed groups in Algeria or in France. The messages quoted the sources of statements to be exploited in the redaction of the tracts or leaflets, or to be introduced in video or tapes to be sent to the media. The most commonly quoted sources were the United Nations, the non-aligned countries, the UNHCR and . . . Al Qaida.
“Al Qaida remained the data base of the Islamic Conference. Not all member countries of the Islamic Conference are ‘rogue states’ and many Islamic groups could pick up information from the databases. It was but natural for Osama Bin Laden to be connected to this network. He is a member of an important family in the banking and business world.
“Because of the presence of ‘rogue states,’ it became easy for terrorist groups to use the email of the database. Hence, the email of Al Qaida was used, with some interface system, providing secrecy, for the families of the mujaheddin to keep links with their children undergoing training in Afghanistan, or in Libya or in the Beqaa valley, Lebanon. Or in action anywhere in the battlefields where the extremists sponsored by all the ‘rogue states’ used to fight. And the ‘rogue states’ included Saudi Arabia. When Osama bin Laden was an American agent in Afghanistan, the Al Qaida Intranet was a good communication system through coded or covert messages.

Jack Matlock: The US is not the Victor of the Cold War
19 Jan 2016
In his interview Amb. Jack Matlock discusses the mistakes that were made in the Post-Cold war period by both the US and Russia, which eventually resulted in the confrontational state of their relations today. These mistakes, as he claims, were made already after the Cold war had been ended by negotiation and to the benefit of all in 1988 – 1989, and were based on several myths the West and the US elaborated already after the USSR had broke up. He disagrees, that part of the problems of Post-Cold war US-Russia relations result from an unbalanced ending of the Cold war itself, and claims that the USSR also benefited from the end of the Cold war and from how it ended. At the same time, he argues that Russia overreacted to the mistakes that the West made in the post-Cold war period, and misperceived many of the Western steps and decisions. For instance, he argued that NATO was preserved to keep Germany under control, while Bill Clinton took the decision to enlarge NATO to get re-elected, not against Russia. He also dwells upon the problems of Russia’s market and democratic transformation after the breakup of the USSR, identifying the ways of how Russian domestic troubles impacted US-Russia relations. Finally, he describes the ways to overcome the new US-Russian confrontation and build sustainable partnership, above all a fundamental broadening of the US-Russian agenda and a recognition of diffusion of power in the world of today and tomorrow.

@jordanallen3078 Marie Antoinette was far from being a disgusting individual. She was married-off at at age 14 to the Dauphin (the heir to the throne). She basically was the scapegoat for everything that went wrong in the country. She was not aware of all that was happening in France, she was sort of kept in a golden cage. In the beginning, she was frivolous and a coquette who enjoyed having extravagant dresses and jewels made for her, and she enjoyed gambling at card games. She didn't know better. Later on, she did develop some political savvy, and had the King listened to her and followed her advice, things would most likely not have turned out the way they did.
The King was not a bad person, either - he was more interested in locksmithery than in reigning the country, and was manipulated and taken advantage of by the real disgusting people.
She never said "Let them eat cake", either. She was a very good mother, and she went to the scaffold and the guillotine with great dignity.
