TriittNG:The former European Parliament member is rather skeptical about the Sunak government's ability to reverse the course of Britain's unfolding economic crisis. Similarly, he expects that the new premier will continue to bow to Washington, escalate tensions with Russia, and potentially embrace a green agenda thus further undermining the UK's energy security. |

TriittNG:"None of this changes anything," Griffin said about the new Tory cabinet. "Parliament is nothing more than a rubber stamp for a plutocratic, deep state establishment, made up of big capital, the Whitehall civil service elite, influential think-tanks, media barons and the security services. |

TriittNG:he parliamentary 'choice' between Blue Tweedledum and Pink Tweedledee exists only to provide a fig leaf of popular accountability. The policy of confrontation with Russia, subservience to Washington, and the continuation of the Davos agenda for energy suicide and surveillance corporate feudalism will all continue unabated." |

TrittNG: UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity 4) Rwanda Tragedy In 100 days between April and July of 1994, over 800,000 ethnic Tutsis were systematically murdered in the tiny landlocked East African nation of Rwanda by the Hutu majority. The United Nations Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) – which arrived in the country in October of 1993, was made aware of Hutu extremists’ plans to wage a massacre, and of stockpiles of Hutu arms hidden throughout the country. 17 |

TriittNG:UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity However, as UNAMIR commander Romeo Dallaire would later attest, his request to intervene to seize the arms caches and halt the genocide was turned down by superiors, allowing the genocide to transpire and resuming the civil war in the country. In an award-winning memoir chronicling the UN’s failure to act to stop the violence, and the lack of authority, equipment and personnel to carry out the mandated peacekeeping mission, Dallaire would recall how the world turned a blind eye to the worst targeted genocide since World War II. 18 |

UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity Dallaire’s experiences in Rwanda left him deeply embittered about the UN’s prospects as a true peacekeeping force. “I still believe that if an organization decided to wipe out the 320 mountain gorillas [in Rwanda] there would be still more of a reaction by the international community to curtail or to stop that than there would be still today in attempting to protect thousands of human beings being slaughtered in the same country,” he said at a memorial event in 2019.

I have no sympathy for dead Nazis (the only good Nazis are dead Nazis). But the wanton destruction of lives of human beings in Rwanda (under the watch of the UN) is distasteful and very disturbing. Where was the UN when Kiev was committing atrocities against Ukrainians with Russian ties. It'll most likely end up like the defunct league of nations. |

TriittNG:UN at 77: Four Times the World’s International Peace and Security Organization Failed Humanity Two decades after the genocide, declassified cables revealed that US ambassador to the UN Madeleine Albright sent a cable to the State Department encouraging Washington to withdraw most of the UN’s peacekeeping forces, with Hutu extremists seeing the move as a “green light for genocide,” according to George Washington University National Security Archive director Tom Blanton. 20 |

President of Guinea-Bissau Umaro Sissoco Embalo asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to ship frigates and a helicopter during a meeting Tuesday. In particular, the Bissau leader said that his country has small Spanish frigates. "We would like to get large ships for our Navy. Maybe Russia would be able to supply us with such ships?

He also proposed discussing issues related to the training of personnel. |
