[AMUtv] In response to Islamabad’s allegations, the Taliban ...Arabic for students... has taken an unprecedented step, acknowledging the deaths of 18 Pak fighters linked to ISIS and the apprehension of numerous other Pak fighters in Afghanistan over the past year.
Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban’s spokesperson, released a statement on Tuesday, confirming that these Pak bandidosmurderous Moslems were implicated in carrying out explosive attacks within Afghanistan and that there exists substantial evidence supporting this claim.
Addressing Pakistain’s accusations of planning attacks within its borders from Afghanistan, Mujahid emphasized that Islamabad should take responsibility for its own security lapses, stressing that the Taliban is not accountable for preventing or managing assaults within Pakistain.
Pakistain’s army chief, for the second time in a month, stated on Monday that some Afghanistan citizens are involved in activities detrimental to Pakistain’s security. In response to these assertions, Pakistain’s Minister of Human Rights commented that a misunderstanding exists between the two nations on this issue.
Riaz Hussain Pirzada, Pakistain’s Minister of Human Rights, stated: "Their (Taliban’s) defense minister has said that they won’t allow anyone to do something against Pakistain and it’s not jihad. So, I don’t think Afghanistan is that disloyal to Pakistain. I don’t accept that."
Simultaneously, Pakistain’s Express Tribune newspaper reported that Islamabad is attempting to secure a decree from Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban’s leader, denouncing the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain’s (TTP) activities as un-Islamic. Although the decree has purportedly been issued, it has yet to be made public.
Barna Salehi, an expert in international relations, cautioned: "If the Taliban and Pakistain do not address this issue promptly, the escalating tensions between the two factions could lead to a dire confrontation, proving detrimental to the Taliban’s interests."
In response to Pakistain’s accusations, Mullah Yaqoob Mujahid, the Taliban’s acting defense minister, recently advised Taliban fighters that traveling to foreign countries to engage in conflict does not qualify as jihad but is rather warfare. He acknowledged that some within the Taliban still uphold a solitary focus on fighting.
The Taliban’s acting interior minister, Sirajuddin Haqqani ...son of Pashtun warlord Jalaluddin Haqqani, still titular head of the Haqqani Network.... , emphasized the need for restraint within the Taliban’s conduct and stressed that the present moment is not conducive to warfare.

This sounds like they’re going for a Hammer-and-Anvil approach, but I truly cannot claim any understanding of military tactics. If those of you who do would be so kind as to explain what the reporter is talking about, I would be grateful.
[Garowe] A regional approach has been undertaken to cure the al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... menace in Somalia, a sharp drift from the initial approach in which Somalia and peacekeepers from the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... have been struggling to contain the bully boys, who control huge swathes of rural central and southern Somalia.
In the new approach, it has emerged, that neighboring countries will contribute soldiers who are not part of the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia [ATMIS] as part of the strategy to annihilate the bully boys, who have started losing ground on several fronts.
The Temporary operation by ATMIS was approved by Ambassador Mohammed El-Amine Souef, commander of the ATMIS Sam Okiding, and the commander of the Gash frontline forces Mohammed Bariis, ahead of the second phase of operations against the forces of Evil which will mainly target Jubaland
Already, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud had reached out to his colleagues from Kenya, Djibouti, and Æthiopia, while asking them for military assistance ahead of the second phase of operations. The second phase has been dubbed Black Lion Mission.
There is a deliberate effort by members of the East Africa community and those from the Horn of Africa to help Somalia effectively fight terrorism, with countries projecting that economic stability will be achieved once stabilization of the country succeeds.
"Black Lions Mission is a regional plan that will strengthen the efforts of the Federal Government of Somalia and ATMIS as the enemy [ Al-Shabaab] is the same," said Ambassador Souef.
"The security of Somalia today can have a negative impact on Djibouti, Æthiopia, Kenya, and Uganda, so we agreed to strengthen our coordination," he added.
The army commander reiterated the efforts of the Somalia National Army to master the plan ahead of handing over security responsibilities from ATMIS later on next year. ATMIS has been the face of the war against al-Shabaab in Somalia for almost two decades.
"At this point, it is time, the main purpose of the lion-black mission is to undermine al-Shabaab and reach a level that cannot be a threat to government and state," said the Gashanle Mohammed Bariis.
Firce Commander Lt Gen Sam Okiding noted that the mission force is forever indebted to support the stabilization mission in Somalia, adding that all stakeholders will be involved ahead of the second phase of operations against the forces of Evil particularly in Middle Jubba.
"We are ready to help whenever we are needed. We will soon hold another conference to look at the details of the entire plan. We are doing all of this to ensure that our brothers in Somalia take full control of the country’s security," Sam Okiding.
Æthiopian troops have started arriving in the Horn of Africa nation with their colleagues from Kenya also preparing for the assault. The Black Lion Mission will be critical to Kenya since it will focus on Jubaland, a state acting as a buffer zone for the Kenya Defense Forces [KDF] in Somalia.
By 'recruiting' assets from bordering countries, cross-border battles no longer threaten the sovereignty of trans-border regions and remove the aspect of 'safe havens'. A lesson from Vietnam.
[Regnum] France is preparing a plan to destabilize Niger and is going to use its military contingent stationed in this African country for this. This was stated by Colonel Amadou Abdraman , the official representative of the National Council for the Salvation of the Motherland (NCSR), formed after the coup in Niger, according to the ActuNiger portal .
According to him, Paris intends to discredit the NSSR and undermine the confidence of the people of Niger in this body. The colonel noted that the country's defense and security forces were ordered to go on high alert and mobilize the population because of France's plans.
As reported by IA Regnum , on August 8, CNN reported that the rebels in Niger had deployed additional forces to the capital of the republic, Niamey, to fight foreign military forces in the event of a possible military intervention. Nigeria, Senegal, Benin and Côte d'Ivoire have previously announced plans to send their troops to the country.
On August 9, Abdraman accused French troops of attacking members of the presidential national guard and violating Niger's airspace. He said that the fighters of the French military contingent "released the detained terrorists" and took off a military plane from N'Djamena (Chad).
[Regnum] The rebels in Niger said that the French military attacked the fighters of the presidential national guard and violated the country's airspace.
The “National Council for the Defense of the Fatherland” informs <…> about the facts of the behavior of the French forces on our territory. Today, August 9, 2023, at 06:30 (04:30 Moscow time) in the morning, the positions of the Niger National Guard <...> became the object of attack, ” RIA Novosti quoted Council representative Amadou Abdraman as saying .
He specified that the French military "released the detained terrorists" and also took off a military aircraft from N'Djamena (Chad), after which "deliberately stopped all contact with air traffic control after entering our airspace."
Against this background, the rebels decided to increase the level of threat.
As reported by IA Regnum, on the night of July 26, an attempted coup d'état took place in Niger. President Mohamed Bazum was detained by his own guards after unsuccessful negotiations.
After that, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) condemned the coup attempt in Niger and called for the immediate release of Bazum. In turn, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, also condemned these events, calling them an attempt to destabilize democracy and threaten the stability of the country.
Later, Alexei Zaitsev , deputy head of the information and press department of the Russian Foreign Ministry , said that the Russian side supports the mediation efforts of the African community to resolve the crisis in Niger. He stressed that they can be achieved through diplomacy.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] The authorities of Niger accused France of attacking the Niger military and invading the country's airspace.
France has not yet commented on the accusations of aggression against Niger.
The new authorities of Niger reported that the French military in Niger attacked the troops of the National Guard of Niger, and also violated the country's airspace (the French plane took off from N'Djamena in Chad and, ignoring Niger's air traffic controllers, landed on the territory of the country. It is now international law. Also, the authorities of Niger accused France of releasing 16 jihadists who are planned to be used for subversive activities in Niger
US EMBASSY IN NIAMEY ISSUED A SAFETY WARNING TO US CITIZENS
EU calls for increased economic pressure on Niger to weaken the military junta, as the country already lacks electricity and drugs.As befits terrorists, he is trying to threaten the civilian population of a country in which they care about "democracy" in words.
The level of combat readiness of the armed forces and power structures of Niger has been increased. The country continues to prepare to repel external aggression.
No forces of PMC "Wagner" in Niger have not yet been noted. Wagner forces are now deployed in the Central African Republic and Mali.
How odd. Usually both parties in a negotiation are invited to the negotiation.
[IsraelTimes] According to the Wall Street Journal, US and Saudi officials have agreed to "broad terms" for a normalization deal with Israel that will hopefully be hammered out over the course of the coming year.
Citing unnamed US officials, the WSJ says that they hope that the "finer details" of such a deal will be able to be reached although they say the odds are long.
"There’s a work plan to explore the elements of what this would be and test the boundaries of what’s possible," the newspaper quotes a senior US official as saying.
But the report cites Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ...Crown Prince and modernizer of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... as of 2016. The Turks hate him, so he must be all right, despite the occasional brutal murder of Qatar-owned journalists... as saying that he is unlikely to rush into a deal with the current hardline Israeli government, and that he is "not ready" to establish full ties with Israel the way that the UAE did under the Abraham Accords in 2020.

More Danegeld for the Turkish treasury. But this time it’ll work for sure!
[Garowe] The United Kingdom and Ottoman Turkish law enforcement officers will step up joint operations to tackle organized immigration crime and disrupt the supply chain of boat parts and other materials used as part of illegal migration journeys.
This move follows Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick’s visit to Turkiye last month, the latest in a number of strategically important international visits to strengthen cooperation on the challenge of tackling illegal migration and disrupting the routes used by smugglers.
The partnership has included visits to Belgium, Tunisia, Italia and Turkiye, where he visited the Ottoman Turkish-Bulgarian Border Check Point at Kapikule — the largest and busiest border crossing point in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... — and saw first-hand the joint operational work to target organized crime, and the importance of close collaboration between the UK and its international partners on this issue.
This enhanced partnership also follows recent agreements with countries including Bulgaria and Georgia, as well as strengthened partnerships with La Belle France and Albania which have resulted in a 90% drop in Albanian small boat arrivals in the first quarter of 2023, compared to the same period last year, and a 40% increase in the number of illegal crossing attempts prevented by the French last year, compared to the year before.
The deepened partnership between the UK and Turkiye includes support by the UK for a new centre based in Turkiye to be established by the Ottoman Turkish National Police, which will act as a new operational "Centre of Excellence" to tackle organized immigration crime. The centre will build on existing collaboration between our law enforcement agencies and increase alignment of UK and Ottoman Turkish intelligence, allowing operational staff to act more quickly on the information.
A new memorandum of understanding will also cover the increase and quicker exchange of customs data, information and intelligence feeds between the UK and Ottoman Turkish authorities, to further support our joint efforts to disrupt the small boat supply chain.
These two countries are also bolstering their resources to pursue these common goals. The centre will strengthen collaboration between NCA and Home Office Intelligence staff based in Turkiye and their Ottoman Turkish counterparts, and the UK will deploy more officers in Turkiye to enable collaboration on joint operations to disrupt the criminal gangs who are facilitating illegal journeys.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman said: "As I’ve made clear, we must do everything we can to smash the people smuggling gangs and stop the boats. Our partnership with Turkiye, a close friend and ally, will enable our law enforcement agencies to work together on this international problem and tackle the small boat supply chain."
Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick said," Illegal migration is a global challenge, and this new partnership with Turkiye cements our 2 countries as foremost strategic partners, working together in the fight against organized immigration crime. We will be intensively sharing intelligence, people and technology to disrupt and dismantle people-smuggling gangs and the manufacture and supply of materials which enable small boat crossings."
Jenrick further added "Having met our partners in Europe, North Africa and indeed Turkiye recently, I’ve seen first-hand the benefits our increased cooperation has on stopping the boats. I am determined that the UK is a leading force in tackling illegal migration and a partner to all those allies who share our determination to defeat it."
The export of small boats and boat parts across the continent of Europe in order to facilitate illegal crossings to the UK is a vital element of people smugglers’ tactics.
It is estimated that hundreds of small boats and boat parts are transported through Europe each year for this purpose.
This will be supported through strengthened UK-Ottoman Turkish engagement at a working level including through the next UK-Turkiye Migration Dialogue meeting taking place this autumn in London. Both countries also committed to raising the issue of illegal migration on international platforms.
This partnership marks the next step in the UK’s efforts to strengthen cooperation with international partners on the global challenge of illegal migration.
[Gateway]2022 Mtg/Cable
In 2018 during his interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News President Trump accused Pakistan of not "doing a damn thing" to assist the US in the War on Terror despite the US sending billions in aid to the Islamic country.
In response the Pakistani Prime Minster Imran Khan lashed out at President Trump and the United States posting a series of tweets and setting the record straight. Pakistani officials denied supporting Afghan Taliban insurgents waging war against U.S.-backed troops in Afghanistan. Islamabad also rejected claims officials aided former al Qaeda leader bin Laden. This was despite Bin Laden living a short distance from a military compound for years in Abbottabad.
In May of this year Imran Khan was arrested outside the High Court in the capital, Islamabad. Paramilitary forces surrounded Khan after he entered court and he was arrested. Police report five police officers have been injured and 43 protesters arrested.
Khan, elected prime minister in 2018, lost his majority in parliament after clashes with the military. He lost a confidence vote in April 2022.
Mr Khan denies the allegations.
Imran Khan was jailed this week for three years and will be ineligible to run in the upcoming election.
On Wednesday The Intercept published diplomatic cables highlighting US pressure on Pakistan to remove President Imran Khan from office. The Biden regime did this because Khan did not support the war against Russia in Ukraine.
Via The Intercept:
THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT encouraged the Pakistani government in a March 7, 2022, meeting to remove Imran Khan as prime minister over his neutrality on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to a classified Pakistani government document obtained by The Intercept.
The meeting, between the Pakistani ambassador to the United States and two State Department officials, has been the subject of intense scrutiny, controversy, and speculation in Pakistan over the past year and a half, as supporters of Khan and his military and civilian opponents jockeyed for power. The political struggle escalated on August 5 when Khan was sentenced to three years in prison on corruption charges and taken into custody for the second time since his ouster. Khan’s defenders dismiss the charges as baseless. The sentence also blocks Khan, Pakistan’s most popular politician, from contesting elections expected in Pakistan later this year.
Here is a paragraph from the leaked cable that describes a conversation between Donald Lu, the Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, pressuring Asad Majeed Khan, who at the time was Pakistan’s ambassador to the U.S. to get rid of Imran Khan.
Don referred to Pakistan’s position on the Ukraine crisis and said that "people here and in Europe are quite concerned about why Pakistan is taking such an aggressively neutral position (on Ukraine), if such a position is even possible. It does not seem such a neutral stand to us." He shared that in his discussions with the NSC, "it seems quite clear that this is the Prime Minister’s policy." He continued that he was of the view that this was "tied to the current political dramas in Islamabad that he (Prime Minister) needs and is trying to show a public face." I replied that this was not a correct reading of the situation as Pakistan’s position on Ukraine was a result of intense interagency consultations. Pakistan had never resorted to conducting diplomacy in public sphere. The Prime Minister’s remarks during a political rally were in reaction to the public letter by European Ambassadors in Islamabad which was against diplomatic etiquette and protocol. Any political leader, whether in Pakistan or the U.S., would be constrained to give a public reply in such a situation.
I asked Don if the reason for a strong U.S. reaction was Pakistan’s abstention in the voting in the UNGA. He categorically replied in the negative and said that it was due to the Prime Minister’s visit to Moscow. He said that "I think if the no-confidence vote against the Prime Minister succeeds, all will be forgiven in Washington because the Russia visit is being looked at as a decision by the Prime Minister. Otherwise, I think it will be tough going ahead." He paused and then said "I cannot tell how this will be seen by Europe but I suspect their reaction will be similar." He then said that "honestly I think isolation of the Prime Minister will become very strong from Europe and the United States." Don further commented that it seemed that the Prime Minister’s visit to Moscow was planned during the Beijing Olympics and there was an attempt by the Prime Minister to meet Putin which was not successful and then this idea was hatched that he would go to Moscow.
The Biden regime is quickly making America the meddling, dishonest, bumbling and hated government in the international community.

Victoria Nuland and Samantha Powell, the foreign policy braintrust behind the Puppet Show deciding what best serves the interests of the New World Order. Both minions of the Lightbringer and the people who sit on the Central Committee of the Peoples Republic of North America.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai informed Rajya Sabha ...After the Libyan Civil War, Sabha grew in importance as a slave auctioning town. However, an investigation by the National Commission for Human Rights in Libya (NCHRL) revealed that while there was illegal slavery, reports were exaggerated, as slave auctions were rare and not made public. This was a great comfort to everyone but the slaves peddled in secret. The city was later seized by forces loyal to the Libyan National Army (LNA) and its leader Khalifa Haftar in January 2019, probably for its collection of MiG-25 aircraft.... on Wednesday that 174 civilians, 308 security personnel, and 1002 bad boyz were potted in 761 terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... between 2018 and 2022.
Rai in a written reply to a question, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that 174 non-combatants were killed in J&K in 761 terror attacks in the erstwhile state in the last 5 years between 2018 and 2022.
"Furthermore, 35 non-combatants were killed in the Union Territory in 626 encounters occurred in the same period," he said, adding that the number of security personnel killed during the same period remained at 308 and 1002 Death Eaters were also eliminated by security forces.
He also said that the ministry of home affairs administers a central scheme for assistance to civilian victims, family of victims of terrorists, communal, LWE violence and cross border firing and mine or IED blasts on Indian territory for providing gratuitous assistance to the affected civilians as an immediate help for the sustenance and maintenance of the families of the victims.
"The scheme has been in operation since 2008. The compensation has been announced from Rs 3 Lakh to 5 Lakh for 24-8-2016 onwards. State governments make the payment and thereafter claim reimbursement," he said—(KNO)
[Shafaq News] In a unanimous agreement, both Iraqi public and official spheres converged on Wednesday to affirm the discernible absence of ISIS gunnies from the hills of Mount Makhol on the outskirts of Saladin and along the borders of Nineveh. This development comes in the wake of a gradual resurgence in agricultural endeavors in the vicinity of the mountains.
Recent security operations have effectively neutralized significant ISIS strongholds and hideouts over the past months, resulting in the elimination of numerous key figures and members within the group. The majority of them have sought refuge in alternate governorates to evade both aerial and ground countermeasures.
Abu Mohammed al-Obaidi, a 46-year-old resident of villages near Mount Makhol, corroborated to Shafaq News Agency that "more than 15 villages have reclaimed the areas surrounding Mount Makhol after serving as off-limits locations and strongholds for ISIS throughout preceding years."
Al-Obaidi emphasized the revival of agricultural and livestock activities near Mount Makhol, attributing this resurgence to heightened security stability and the comprehensive cleansing of the mountains from terrorist elements. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... he cautioned that "vigilance remains imperative against potential dormant ambushes set up by ISIS or any sudden, unexpected assaults targeting us."
Mohammed Zaidan, the director of al-Zawiyah district adjacent to Mount Makhol, further observed the dissipation of the ISIS threat due to the substantial security presence of the 91st Army Brigade, the 9th Saladin Emergency Regiment, and al-Hashed al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces - P.M.F.).
Zaidan elaborated that "previously treacherous routes are now secure for both locals and farmers. The specter of road ambushes has been consigned to history." He regarded the successful cleansing of Mount Makhol as "the definitive eradication of Iraq's most intense terrorist hotbed," asserting that "complete security control extends across all areas of Mount Makhol, with no recorded security incidents for over a year."
Conversely, Rassoul Jasim, the director of Makhol district in northwestern Saladin, postulated that the gradual revival of agricultural undertakings on Mount Makhol's periphery serves as a significant livelihood asset for local villages. Jasim concurred that the ISIS threat in Makhol has considerably dwindled, yet underscored that "security evaluations of the Makhol situation are under the jurisdiction of competent authorities."
Jasim further underscored the repatriation of the majority of displaced families to their native localities, facilitated by the implementation of comprehensive security plans surrounding Mount Makhol. Nonetheless, he stressed that preserving stability and security necessitates continued exertion and strategic planning to forestall the resurgence of terrorist strongholds.
Meanwhile, ...back at the game, the Babe headed for second base. He almost made it. Then Sheila slapped him.... Mahir Masood al-Dulaimi, a leader within the P.M.F., asserted that ongoing monitoring and surveillance protocols encompass the region around Mount Makhol and neighboring villages, following the division of security responsibilities among the army, police, and mobilization forces.
Al-Dulaimi emphasized that "persistent monitoring and surveillance, facilitated by drone technology, actively track and identify any ISIS movements or endeavors to regain a foothold in the mountains and strongholds." He affirmed that "security and intelligence coordination remains a continuous endeavor aimed at safeguarding villages against potential terrorist threats."
It is noteworthy that Mount Makhol has constituted a focal point for armed organizations throughout recent years due to its challenging terrain, security vulnerabilities, and limited susceptibility to Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s.

[IsraelTimes] Hezbollah operatives have reportedly left a highly contentious tent that they erected recently on the Israeli side of the Blue Line between the two nations.
According to the Ynet news site, the members of the terror group have largely moved to a second tent, which was relocated to the Lebanese side of the border several weeks ago.
Israel has been working behind the scenes diplomatically over the past month to get the tent removed without causing an escalation at the tense border. Try a flamethrower
[IsraelTimes] The Biden administration doubles down on its insistence that US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. S You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... did not invite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet him at the White House after the Israeli premier stated as much in a pair of recent interviews with US media.
"We still anticipate that the president will meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu sometime in the latter part of this year in the fall, and [that] it’ll be somewhere in the United States," White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby says in response to a question on the matter during a phone briefing with news hounds.
After the leaders spoke on July 17, Netanyahu’s office issued a readout saying that Biden had invited him to meet in the US. The White House readout made no mention of an invitation and a source familiar with the details, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... , said Netanyahu was the one who raised the idea of a meeting on the call and that Biden merely responded that he’d be willing to do so but that no further details were discussed.
Officials in Netanyahu’s office then began reaching out to Hebrew media news hounds insisting that not only did Biden invite the prime minister but that the president suggested that the meeting take place in the White House.
Netanyahu himself then told ABC on July 27 that Biden invited him to the White House and told NBC last week that he stood by that assertion. "Ireland is the only country that has not persecuted the Jew. They never let them in." ~ James Joyce
Blarney. And of the same type President Biden specializes in.

Before Obama came to power and now likely the puppet master of this coup.
The Liberals & Dem's were in love with Israel and the Jewish people?
But, once the Liberals and Democrats joined with the US National Socialist movement to form a political power block. There has been open anti-Semitism by LSD Congressional members and the LSD SIG / citizenry in Northern Metro's?
It's like the LSD party has done a 180 on Israel and the Jewish people, to the point where we now see LSD's Thugs openly targeting Jew's on US streets for assault, muggings, stabbings and even murder.
Is it history repeating itself, as National Socialism grows and increases its control in the LSD party?

Can you be any more insulting on a personal level? Since talking substantively with Biden himself is pointless, merely a photo-op and political theater, just avoid visiting for a few months, change is in the air. Bibi is a great ally of traditional America, and the insult is more proof of the Obama/ValJar attitude behind the crumbling facade that is the Biden "Presidency".

<3 Yes, Limerick really was a thing, but relatively small as such things go — and much less usual than the casual and less casual antisemitism in England and the Continent until that point. The Catholics andProtestants were so busy hating each other across Ireland that they found the Jews in their midst restful by contrast. Neutrals, so to speak.
Iranian media outlets disclosed today that #Iran has acquired the necessary technology to construct a supersonic cruise missile, which remains "under testing" and is poised to herald a "new era" in Iran's defensive capabilities.
[Rudaw] The United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... on Tuesday announced they reached an "understanding" with the Syrian government to reopen the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... to deliver humanitarian aid to the rebel-held areas in northwestern the country.
"The Secretary-General welcomes the understanding reached yesterday by the United Nations and the Government of Syria on the continued use for the next six months of the Bab al-Hawa border crossing," read a statement from Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN Secretary General António Guterres ...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years... . He added that the agreement had been reached on Monday.
The border crossing opening comes after talks between the UN aid chief Martin Griffiths and Syrian officials, according to the statement from Haq.
The statement regarding Bab al-Hawa followed an earlier announcement that Damascus has agreed on keeping two other crossings to the northwest, Bab al-Salameh and al-Rai, open for three months until November 13.
"The consent reaffirmed by Syria in recent days provides a basis for the UN and its partners to lawfully conduct cross-border humanitarian operations through Bab al-Hawa," he added.
The Bab al-Hawa cross-border mechanism is the only way UN aid, including food, medicine, water, and other critical resources, can be delivered to northwest Syria without having to traverse through areas controlled by the Syrian government. The crossing has been in use by the UN since 2014.
In July, the UN Security Council was unable to renew the agreement that enabled the delivery of aid to Syria. This was due to Russia vetoing the proposed draft, sparking concern among the international community for the millions of aid-dependent residents in the region.
The province of Idlib in northwest Syria is the last pocket of rebel-held territory in the region and is mainly controlled by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... (HTS), which has been internationally recognized as a terrorist organization.

How long the two parties will remain in amity and accord before cutting ties again, dear Reader?
[IsraelTimes] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ’s embassy in Tehran has resumed operations, state media in Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

Shiite-dominated Iran and Sunni Moslem Saudi Arabia agreed to resume diplomatic relations and reopen their respective embassies following a China-brokered deal announced in March. The long-time regional rivals severed ties in 2016 after Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran were attacked during protests over Riyadh’s execution of Shiite holy man Nimr al-Nimr.
"The embassy of Saudi Arabia in the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran has officially commenced its activities" and has been operating since Sunday, the official news agency IRNA says, quoting an "informed source" at Iran’s foreign ministry.
There has been no official confirmation from Riyadh on the move.
In June, Iran marked the reopening of its embassy in Riyadh with a flag-raising ceremony.
Iranian media had previously attributed the delay in reopening the Saudi embassy to the poor condition of the building, which was damaged during the 2016 protests. The reports said Saudi diplomats would work from a luxury hotel in the Iranian capital pending the completion of the works.
