As Obama Talks Of Arms Control, Russians View U.S. As Global Aggressor
U.S. and NATO military expansion along Russia's western and southern flanks diminishes the need for Cold War era nuclear arsenals and long-range delivery systems appreciably. Washington can well afford to reduce the number of its nuclear weapons and still maintain decisive worldwide strategic superiority, especially with the deployment of an international interceptor missile system and the unilateral militarization of space. And the use of super stealth strategic bombers and the Pentagon's Prompt Global Strike project for conventional warhead-equipped strike systems with the velocity and range of intercontinental ballistic missiles to destroy other nations' nuclear forces with non-nuclear weapons.
Media Disinformation regarding America’s Afghan War
Examining a microcosm can shed light on the larger reality. I have chosen to analyze a small mountain hamlet, Chagoti Ghar (Chergotah), located some forty kilometers east of Khost city in eastern Afghanistan in a time frame separated by eight and a third years – November 23rd 2001 and March 24th 2010. Both times, two Afghan civilians perished as a result of foreign occupation fire. In both instances, the U.S corporate media was silent. Both times, to pierce the veil of silence spun by the American military industrial media information complex (MIMIC) a person had to turn to independent, regional media; in November 2001 to the Peshawar-based Afghan Islamic Press news agency and in March 2010, to the Kabul-based Pajhwok Afghan News.[1] Those killed in 2001 perished during morning prayers and those obliterated in 2010 succumbed after sundown. A women and girl were martyred in November 2001 and a teenaged couple was killed in March 2010. A Bush air strike killed two in 2001 and an Obama ground attack did the same in 2010.
NHS pays thousands for weekend police watch over 'war zone' A&E departments
The NHS is paying thousands of pounds for police officers to patrol accident and emergency departments on Friday and Saturday nights, described by staff as 'war zones'.
In a bid to protect nurses, doctors and other workers and deter violence, officers man A&E across the UK, the hospitals trust has disclosed.
A spokeswoman for Unison, which represents 450,000 health workers in the UK, said: 'We have spoken to staff working in A&E departments and some of them say it's like a war zone on Friday and Saturday night.
