All Trought about politic at Ukraine

The military operation by Chechen and Ingush interior ministry forces in the two republics has been in progress for nearly two months now. It appears, however, that the campaign has not brought the desired result. Even the tone of President Kadyrov's speeches on the subject has changed. Back in June he gave his law enforcement agencies a month to return the supposedly last remaining dozen or two "satans" to the nether world, presenting the feasibility of this task as a foregone conclusion. But now his confidence in a swift and conclusive victory has been placed on the back burner. The new strategy of the Islamic insurgents, who this summer have staked their success on the deployment of suicide bombers and terrorists, has for a time at least smudged the adroitly painted picture of Chechen peace and stability.

 

Kadyrov now has no option but to forget about the defeat his forces have suffered, and restrict himself to talking about how his security officials have ... Read more »

Jamaat Sharia publications informs with reference to independent sources that on September 20 a battle took place on the border between Azerbaijan and Vilayat Dagestan near Kapir-Kazamalar settlement, between a unit of Mujahideen-Ansar and Azeri border guards.

Russian kafir forces moved to assist Azeri forces, but the attack was repelled. According to the same source, both sides incurred casualties.

To the surprise of locals, nothing was mentioned about the night battle in either Russian or Azeri news.

Jamaat Sharia reminds, that battles on the border between Vilayat Dagestan (of the Caucasus Emirate) and Azerbaijan used to take place before as well. After a battle in Mucalaul, as a result of which doctor Muhammad became a Shaheed, infidels declared that he was responsible together w ... Read more »

Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama ending their meeting in New York on Wednesday. Also present were Lavrov, left, and Clinton, right.

President Dmitry Medvedev has hinted that Russia might support U.S.-backed sanctions against Iran and praised President Barack Obama’s administration for its decision to scrap the missile shield plan in Central Europe.

But Medvedev’s apparent willingness to cooperate on Iran, which is being widely interpreted as a Russian concession to the United States, does not mark a departure from Moscow’s previous position on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, defense analysts said Thursday.

“We believe we need to help Iran to take a right decision,” Medvedev said after meeting with Obama on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Wednesday.

Medvedev said Russia’s position on new sanctions, whic ... Read more »

Mumbai, India's financial capital has become more united against terrorism since 26/11 (the 2008 terror attack in Mumbai), in which 183 people lost their lives and hundreds more were critically wounded. Such terror attacks have also occurred in the past during festival season, and though the main objective of these acts of terror is to disturb peace during the festivals, the festivities of different religions continue in full swing.

Recently, Hindus organized their religious festival Ganesh Pooja with full devotion, while Muslims were busy in their pious month of Ramadan. Preparations are being made to celebrate the famous festivals of Dusshehra, the Durga Pooja and the Eid-Ul-Fitr. While the festivals of different communities in India—the nation of unity in diversity—are associated with their religious importance, these festivals at the same time present an example of co ...

Picture this. A few people are gathered around a food stand in the Palestinian city of Tul Karem waiting to be served. One of them turns around as he is called by name. The minute he does so, confirming his identity, two men standing on each side tie his hands and distance him from the crowd, shoving him into a nearby car. The capture takes less than a minute, and they leave with the wanted person as quickly as possible.

This scene could easily be taken from a typical action movie; however, this is a standard mission operated by "Duvdevan" (cherry in Hebrew), an elite I.D.F. unit. The person taken is a "bad guy" with either Israeli or Palestinian blood on his hands and, once captured, will be interrogated by Israeli security services.

"Many people who served in this unit like to brag about the number of terrorists they have killed, but most of them usually do not tell the t ... Read more »

People raising the sign “No to the Evenka Dam” at a public hearing in Tura in the Krasnoyarsk region. They stalled the dam by declaring the hearing null.

TURA, Krasnoyarsk Region — RusHydro, the state electricity firm reeling after a deadly dam disaster last month, suffered a new blow Tuesday when an ambitious plan to construct a new giant hydropower plant on the Lower Tunguska River stalled amid public protests.

After listening to RusHydro officials present their plans for the Evenkia dam and answer questions for five hours, residents of the town of Tura took the unprecedented step of declaring the public hearing null, citing incomprehensive materials that pointed to lack of research by RusHydro and inadequate evidence of the project’s safety for the environment.

Local officials said Tuesday that they would not sign the procedural documents that are nec ... Read more »

It would be interesting to know if the military’s top brass are drinking champagne as they sit in their offices on Smolenskaya Ploshchad and Arbat, or if they are cursing those cunning Americans for outmaneuvering Moscow. U.S. President Barack Obama announced late last week that he had made the difficult decision to cancel long-standing U.S. plans to deploy elements of a global missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic. The prospect of Washington creating a so-called “third position region” (after California and Alaska) close to Russia’s borders had been a main stumbling block in U.S.-Russian relations for the past several years.

During that time, Russia’s leaders had been screaming at every street corner that the deployment of 10 U.S. interceptor missiles constituted a dire threat to Russia. Efforts by Washington to explain that 10 interceptor missiles could hardl ... Read more »

The day after President Dmitry Medvedev’s article “Go Russia!” appeared, I stopped by a little restaurant I know in the center of Moscow. The owner of the establishment had also read Medvedev’s article. Her gut reaction was, “Rather than compose articles, the president should read the laws that he signs.”

I discovered this restaurant during the peak of the 1998 crisis. For some inexplicable reason, its prices remained lower than at neighboring establishments, and the food was always tasty. Not long after, I learned that the owner and I had attended the same school as teenagers, and ever since, I have taken as much pleasure from her success as if it had been my own. Whenever I’m in the area, I always drop in to get a taste of what small business owners are thinking.

The day after Medvedev’s article came out, I found the owner in a bad mood following another hassle with bureaucrats.

“Medvedev deserves a statue in his honor,” she said. “After his call to of ... Read more »
