Aid workers were not targetted by accident. It was a deliberate attack against aid workers. The Israeli government is also attacking diplomatic personnel and bombing embassies.

The perception of war is different from reality
The Perception of War is different from Reality
Throughout history, the outcome of wars has been reported as victories and defeat, conquests, and so forth, but the reality of war has escaped proper consideration.
Even in victory there has been a price to pay to win. For those who were tragically injured or killed there is no victory. There is also no defeat. It is the end of their lives. There is no recovery. Even if they survive, life will no longer be what it was.
Warmongers will not often suffer the consequences of what they have instigated. For warmongers, the lives of those they see as enemies don't count, but the lives of those they pretend to be close to don't count either. It is just a matter of numbers. As long as they can claim victory and even if as consequence of their acts there is defeat, they will go around living their lives happily ever after while both presumed foes and presumed friends will suffer dire consequences.
When we see or hear reports about tens of thousands of people dead or injured, names don't count because it would be time consuming or even impossible to determine the identities of those who have lost their lives. The pulverised buildings of what used to be a living city cannot possibly reflect the full story of the tragedy that has occurred.

Does Mike Pence understand what he is proposing when he talks about Americans being sent to die in Ukraine?
As seasoned American politician and as former Vice President of the USA, Mike Pence should understand the messages that he is sending to the American public and to the world.
Talking about American ready to die in Ukraine, he is not just talking about Americans. He is inviting the World to face World War Three and the use of nuclear weapons that could well fall on American soil transforming Washington, New York and other major cities into modern copies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Fighting in Iraq and in Afghanistan, it was all about Americans and few other participating countries that also had losses. Europe is a completely different cup of tea. If any Americans get directly involved in the fighting, all NATO countries will be involved and this precisely because an issue of numbers will involved Nuclear Weapons.
We understand that Mike Pence is biding to become the next Republican Presidential Candidate but if he is showing such careless approach in political speeches made before he even becomes a candidate then what kind of President could he possibly be when he has the finger on the nuclear button.
Americans should listen very carefully to what those who stand to fight for the nomination of Presidential Candidates and ultimately for the Presidency are actually saying. His words show total disregard for the certain risks of getting NATO directly involved in the conflict.
Many have criticized the Organisation of the United Nations and in fact the United States of America has disregarded the Organization of the United Nations more than once and has carried out military adventures without the approval of the Organization of the United Nations. But even taken such record into account, any such military adventures will terminate the Organisation of the United Nations. We are talking about Permanent Members of the Security Council of the Organization of the United Nations taking sides against each other. World War One signal the end of the League of Nations. World War Three will signal the end of the Organization of the United Nations.
One could say that if there was World War Three, the world would no longer need any such kind of organisation as the world as we know it today will no longer exist.

Niger: Massive popular support for Armed Forces
Colonial powers are colonial powers. USA and France try to control Niger using subserviant regimes and the people of Niger say NO by showing massive support for Niger's Armed Forces.
It is self-evident that the people of Niger have had enough of politicians and welcome the military takeover. This is not new. It has happened elsewhere and it goes to show that democracy that only exists by name, but not by substance is bound to be replaced from time to time.
As always, outsiders that go by titles and empty labels fail to recognize that representatives are not the people. When we say power to the people, by the people and for the people, we are not referring to elected politicians but to the citizens themselves that, disilusioned with politicians and the political system, decide to take matters into their own hands.
As it is usually the case, USA, France, the UN are controlled by the elites that believe that they know more than ordinary citizens who have to live or die because of decisions made by the elites. Suddenly, somebody based in Washington, Paris or New York believes that he or she knows more than the people of Niger what serves Niger. First step, they threaten Niger with financial sanctions. Second step, they threaten Niger with armed intervention. But they don't want to do it themselves. They use other countries that they control to do their dirty work. They will use African blood to bring Niger under control. This is modern slavery. The white masters will use black Africans to exert control.
The Marikana Massacre in South Africa is a typical example of colonial domination, even under the ANC administration. When African miners asked for a salary rise, black South African Police killed black miners shooting them in the back to protect foreign interests. Even British journalists publicly called Niger a French colony and part of the French Empire. Any rebellion will be soaked in blood so that the colonial powers can continue exerting their power over Africa. This is the real example of racist domination. Not the fake protests carried out by fake protesters in the Developed World.

War betwen Permanent Members of UN means the end of the UN
The aim was to prevent yet another major conflagration. Having said that, war between the Permament Members will destroy the Organisation of the United Nations.
Nowadays, the Organisation of the United Nations is a lot more than the original signatories intended and many international agreements are based on the existence of the Organisation of the United Nations. Once the UN is no more those agreements will be nul and void and this will effectively means that every country in the world will be on its own. All the safeguards in terms of an international framework will be gone and the stronger ones will prevail and be free do to as they please. This is why, apart from all other immediate consequences, it is important to avert a military conflict between permament members of the Organisation of the United Nations.
As this has not been talked about and the subject is not on mass media, it is fundamentally important to remind everybody of what is at stake should the situation in Eastern Europe and in Asia get out of hand.

Who will benefit from war in Middle East and Asia Minor and who will suffer because of it?
Who will benefit from war in Middle East and Asia Minor and who will suffer because of it?
Now, because of the implication of such conflict, how united will old allies be in this regard? Will economic considerations and the potential serious political repercussions be a reason to challenge old alliances? For the United States of America, such a conflict comes with the territory. The number of military bases spread across Iraq and other neighbouring countries of Iran has both a political and an economic dimension. In order to maintain its image as major Superpower, the United States cannot be seen as walking away from conflict after so many statements about 'consequences'. It comes a time when statements that are not supported with actions become not just an embarrassement but a sign of weakness.
Let's look at another issue that very much involves NATO and it is about Turkey's position as member of the alliance. Turkey recently acquired anti-missile defenses and Russian jets are on the way. Calls by the USA to prevent Turkey from acquiring Russian jets and Russian anti-missile defenses have fallen on deaf ears. President Erdogan is not going to do something that goes against Turkish interests. It is well known that Turkey is moving in to fill up a void created by what happened in Iraq and dealing with its own regional agenda that sometimes collides with the interests of the United States of America. As a member of NATO, Turkey is seen as getting too close to the Russian Federation. What can USA do about it? At the moment, it is all about talking and saying 'if you get this, we will not give you that'. Some people might be asking how reliable Turkey would be if there was a massive regional conflict.
How reliable would other members of NATO be if USA actions go against their crucial interests? Britain has been playing a waiting game not to go against agreements signed with Iran and the same attitude has been adopted by others in Continental Europe. USA has been telling Germany that Germany has to stop buying Russian oil and Russian gas. Easier said than done when 28.9% of energy supplies to the European Union come from the Russian Federation. I reckon that Germany and the rest of the EU will be reluctant to engage or support any actions that could undermine their own national interests.
Going farther East, China has been told by the USA that it has to protect its own ships going through waters that could be in the conflict zone if there is war against Iran and what about Japan? A possible confrontation in Asia Minor and in the Middle East would affect the entire world economy. It can be safely said that everybody will be affected in more ways than one and not just economically but politically. What is the Organisation of the United Nations saying about the possibility of such a conflict? Is the USA going to bypass - once again - the Organisation of the United Nations?

UN Migration Pact : Population Replacement Pact
UN Migration Pact: Population Replacement Pact
Several countries have already announced that they will not sign up the so called UN Migration Pact because it effectively opens the door to ethnic cleansing. The Organisation that was created in 1945 at the end of World War Two to promote peace has become a means to get rid of national identities, an agenda that could have disastrous consequences and lead to another World War.
