Input: To wit, the February 2014 coup in Kiev against Ukraine’s constitutionally elected government was organized, funded and catalyzed by the Washington / NATO apparatus. Putin took defensive action in response because this supremely stupid and illegal provocation threatened vital interests in his own backyard. The openly hostile government installed in Kiev the very next day by the State Department threatened to join NATO, persecute the Russian-speaking minority in eastern Ukraine, renounce its multi-billion financial obligations to Moscow and imperil Russia’s rental arrangement for the homeport of its the Black Sea naval fleet in Sevastopol (Crimea). The latter has been the historic anchor of Russia’s national security policy under czars and commissars alike. Moreover, the putsch installed by the “regime change” crowd at the CIA, State Department and so-called Endowment for Democracy while Putin was minding his own business at the Sochi Olympics was crawling with adherents of the “Right Sector”.

Input: “Such unacceptable behaviour by so-called supporters of the national teams of England and Russia has no place in football, a sport we must protect and defend.” Uefa normally argues that it can police behaviour by supporters only inside stadiums, and to that end has launched disciplinary proceedings against Russia over the scenes at the end of the match. It also acknowledged “segregation issues” inside the Stade Vélodrome, where Russians charged at terrified England fans at the final whistle, and promised to work with tournament organisers to improve matters. But in an unusual move, Uefa’s board said it would not hesitate to take additional sanctions, up to and including disqualification, against both teams if their fans were involved in violence again during the course of the tournament. “The Uefa executive committee has warned both football associations that – irrespective of any decisions taken by the independent disciplinary bodies relating to incidents inside the stadium – it will not hesitate to impose additional sanctions on the Football Association and the Russian Football Union, including the potential disqualification of their respective teams from the tournament, should such violence occur again.”

Input: If there is a launch, it's not clear if the missiles would carry any kind of simulated warhead. But if the North were, for the first time, to launch a mobile missile with these types of ranges, it would be a significant military advance and a change in the North Korean calculus for the U.S., military officials say. In a conflict, mobile launchers can quickly shoot and move to a new position making it very difficult for satellites or spy planes to track them. It would also be a violation of U.N. resolutions banning North Korea from ballistic missile tests North Korea already has twice successfully launched a three-stage ballistic missile from a stationary launch pad, both times carrying a rudimentary satellite on the front end that was sent into orbit.

Input: The IFC president, Jim Youg Kim, is a regular participant in Clinton Global Initiative meetings chaired by Bill Clinton. Among her duties as secretary of state, Clinton also had a role in the World Bank, which is largely financed with U.S. funds. Blackburn questioned a controversial Hillary Clinton decision permitting Russia to obtain a controlling stake in a U.S. uranium company after an effort led by Ian Teller, a major Clinton Foundation donor, and Canadian billionaire Frank Giustra, a long-time friend of Bill Clinton. Uranium One “donated $ 2.35 million to the Foundation through several donations, which the foundation failed to report, as the Russian’s gained control of Uranium One from 2009-2013,” Blackburn said. Teller’s Fernwood Foundation additionally donated more than $ 2 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to “Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweizer.

Input: This perspective of Hillary as "victim" gradually began to disappear, however, and was replaced by what seemed the more relevant take of a feminist icon slut-shaming her husband's paramours. Now it is seen as perfectly valid to consider the culpability of Hillary Clinton, who The New York Times recently called "a president's wife turned presidential candidate," with regard to her husband's infidelities – to discuss her "guilt" for staying married to him, and to cast this, as some political watchers have, as an act of raw, Claire Underwood-style ambition rather than something far more complicated. Or on the other hand, to urge Clinton, as Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski sympathetically tried to do this past May, to "speak from the heart," maybe even get emotional about what were clearly the worst few years of her life. Susan Walsh / AP The message in this, of course, is that were Clinton only more revealing – the quintessentially, and stereotypically, feminine trait – she would be more "likable," albeit in a way that would simultaneously make her look "weak."

Barry Goldwater was a hard-right conservative from Arizona who to the horror of many in his party had won Ku Klux Klan endorsement, advocated the use of nuclear weapons and accepted his party's nomination with a speech that included the now-infamous paraphrasing of Cicero:" I would remind you that extremism in the defence of liberty is no vice!" He campaigned on the slogan," In your heart you know he is right ". His Democratic opponent for president, Lyndon Johnson responded," In your guts you know he is nuts," and obliterated Goldwater at the ballot box.

Input: WASHINGTON – NATO Supreme Commander Philip Breedlove said Russia has decided to become an adversary of the West and presents an "existential threat" to the United States and its allies. U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, meanwhile, accused Russia of intimidating its immediate neighbors, and said he doubted whether Moscow was still committed to strategic stability on nuclear weapons. The comments by Carter and Breedlove, in testimony before two congressional committees on February 25, reflected the deepening concern and ongoing shift in thinking in Washington about how to respond to Russian moves in Europe and the Middle East. Breedlove has been one the most vocal critics of Russia among top U.S. military brass since Moscow annexed Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula in March 2014 and subsequently backed separatists fighting Kyiv's forces in eastern Ukraine.

Input: President Kennedy's future was uncertain after digressing on August 25, l960, from the straight and narrow path he had followed all his life. President Kennedy could not escape the consequences of his betrayal of the high principles to which he aimed to dedicate his life. President Kennedy surrendered to the lure of Talmudists who pledged to put him in the White House as the president of the United States. On August 23 1960, in the United States Senate office building in Washington President Kennedy, at that time a senator, gave this author a copy of the address he was to deliver in New York City on August 25, 1960. In the copy of that address he stated among other things:" Israel ... three weeks ago I said in a public statement ' Israel is here to stay ... my flat prediction that Israel is here to stay ... will endure and flourish ... a special obligation on the Democratic Party ... it was President Truman who first recognized the new State of Israel and gave it status in world affairs ... may I and ... my hope and my pledge to continue the democratic tradition ... if the Democratic platform is to have any meaning ... the White House must take the lead ... American intervention .. will not now be easy ... I propose that we make it crystal clear ... we will act promptly and decisively ... I propose that we make it clear ... our guarantee that we will act with whatever force and speed are necessary .. the risk of war ... "President (Senator) Kennedy was giving Talmudists his pledge that as the president of the United States he would send sons, husbands and brothers of the grass roots population of the United States to fight in Palestine under the flag of the United States in a war in Palestine to help crooks hold onto stolen loot, to aid and abet thieves retain possession of their stolen plunder.

The complaint by the former world champion and political activist, a Russian national who lives in the United States, dates back to 2007, when Russian authorities confiscated his ticket and passport and detained him at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow. The detention prevented him from attending an opposition political rally scheduled to be held at an EU-Russia summit in Samara. According to a court statement, the 53 year-old Kasparov was questioned for five hours over whether his ticket had been forged.

Input: Former Minnesota Republican congresswoman Michele Bachmann said on Saturday that the Syrian Civil War is paving the way for an apocalyptic war between Israel and foreign powers. Bachmann, who has previously claimed that President Obama and the gay rights movement are ushering in the Last Days, told radio hosts Jan Markell and Eric Barger that “the world is about to give legitimacy to the Islamic State” while, at the same time, Russian and Iranian military intervention in Syria on behalf of its dictator Bashar Assad has paved the way for a future invasion of Israel by the two countries in order to seize its energy resources, just as laid out in the Bible. “I believe that they are positioning themselves so that someday they could invade Israel to be able to take over the vast stores of oil and natural gas that Israel is controlling,” she said, adding that “this very unique new partnership between Iran and Russia in Syria” with the support of China “lines up with scripture.” All of these powers, she said, are seeking “a global world order to keep their game going into the future and to support them if they would invade against Israel.” And who will lead this global world order?

Although police believe Rich was the victim of a botched robbery attempt, Assange hinted at a darker possibility: that Rich was murdered for sharing documents with WikiLeaks. “Our sources take risks,” Assange said ominously.

NATO-member Turkey said another Russian warplane violated its airspace on Friday despite several warnings — two months after Turkey's military shot down a Russian jet for crossing over its territory. The past incident seriously strained the previously close ties between the two countries, damaging a strong economic partnership." We regard this infringement which came despite all our warnings in Russian and in English as an effort by Russia to escalate the crisis in the region," Erdogan told reporters before departing on a Latin American tour.

Input: This meant that certain classes of infantry weapons were not included, among them mortars, shoulder-fired rockets and powerful Mark 19 automatic grenade launchers that were mounted on many American vehicles and also used in outpost defense. That omission means the data offer no insight into a startlingly risky aspect of the Pentagon’s arming of local forces with infantry arms: the wide distribution of anti-armor weapons, including RPG-7s, commonly called rocket-propelled grenades, and recoilless weapons, including the SPG-9. Each of these systems fires high-explosive (and often armor-piercing) projectiles, and each was commonly used by insurgents in attacks. After the opening weeks of each war, the only armor on either battlefield was American or associated with allied and local government units, which made the Pentagon’s practice of providing anti-armor weapons to Afghan and Iraqi security forces puzzling. Why would they need anti-armor weapons when they had no armor to fight?

Input: There were only 320 crude oil rigs in operation in May, down from an average of 1,527 during all of 2014, a decline of 79 percent. And even though the price of crude oil has recovered more recently to around $ 50, the Energy Information Administration predicted in its June Short-Term Energy Outlook that oil production will continue declining until 2017 before beginning to rise again, assuming that oil prices increase as expected, and that the industry implements productivity improvements. Oil Imports & Dependency — Under Obama, U.S. reliance on imported oil has been cut by more than half. As of the first quarter of 2016, net imports were down 55 percent. In 2015, the U.S. imported only 24 percent of the petroleum and refined products that it consumed, which was the lowest annual level of dependency on imports since 1970.

It was a thinly veiled reference to Clinton's economic ties to Wall Street. Russia granted Snowden temporary asylum in 2013, and the controversial whistleblower has resided there ever since. Although he faces criminal charges in the United States for leaking classified information regarding global surveillance programs run by the NSA — two counts of violating the Espionage Act of 1917 and theft of government property — there's nothing to legally hinder Snowden from voting in presidential elections until he is convicted, according to his lawyer. The former NSA contractor has said he voted for a third-party candidate during the 2008 election, and given his presumed disregard for both Clinton and Trump, he might choose to do the same this year.

Such records might shed light on his role in setting up Clinton's server, and why he was granted immunity by the FBI," said Republican National Committee Deputy Communications Director Raj Shah." But it seems that his emails were either destroyed or never turned over, adding yet another layer to the secrecy surrounding his role." But if the State Department is unable (or unwilling) to provide materials to the FBI pertinent to its investigation, then perhaps the Russian government will oblige.

Input: Recent elections had tipped control of the Parliament to the nationalist Party of Regions, led by Yushchenko’s rival, Viktor Yanukovych. Yanukovych, a street gangster with a rap sheet in his adolescence who ruled through a combination of pro-Russian alliances and payouts to key Ukrainian oligarchs, had claimed victory in a 2004 reelection effort against Yushchenko. But the campaign was marked by scandals and rumors of vote-rigging — at one point before the election, Yushchenko was mysteriously poisoned, paralyzing part of his face — and a popular uprising forced Yanukovych to yield the presidency to his challenger. Still smarting from that defeat, Yanukovych found Paul Manafort. Notorious in Washington and abroad as a laser-focused campaign consultant to Republican presidential candidates and foreign potentates alike, Manafort was hired to put Yanukovych and his allies through an image makeover, and it worked: In early 2006, the Party of Regions nearly doubled its representation in Parliament; if Yanukovych could bring some other parties into his coalition, he could become prime minister — and a major thorn in President Yushchenko’s side.

The Observatory said earlier in the day that 213 civilians have been killed by airstrikes and shelling on opposition areas in and around Aleppo since a U.S.-Russian brokered cease-fire collapsed Monday evening. De Mistura, at the Security Council meeting, warned that if the Syrian government is intent on taking Aleppo, it is going to be "a grinding" a street-by-street fight where all the infrastructure in the city will be destroyed, but it won't lead to victory.

Input: Next, the sordid postscript to Trump's fling with Gaddafi demonstrates how quickly he is willing to ditch his former friend when he perceives it as politically expedient. For Trump, they have proved even easier to dump than wives-no complex prenup required. In February 2011, as the Arab Spring was in full swing, Trump advocated an aerial campaign to decapitate the regime of his erstwhile friend. However, unwilling to help the Libyans remove their dictator altruistically, he offered a mercenary bombs-for-oil scheme. Now in 2016, as he has staked out an anti-intervention, America-first stance on international affairs, he has attempted to backtrack from his previous statements so that he can attack Hillary Clinton as responsible for the mess in Libya, and tied to the failed doctrine of humanitarian intervention.

Republicans have refused to hold hearings for Garland, arguing that the next president should fill the vacancy.

Input: Clinton Does n’t Support ‘Open Borders’ Trump falsely claimed that Clinton would “end virtually all immigration enforcement and thus create totally open borders for the United States.” Clinton supported the 2013 Senate immigration bill that, in addition to a path to earned citizenship for those currently in the country illegally, would have included significant investments in border security. Trump: She’s pledged to grant mass amnesty and in a first 100 days, end virtually all immigration enforcement and thus create totally open borders for the United States, totally open borders. Clinton has said she supports “comprehensive immigration reform,” and she has vowed that within the first 100 days as president, she would send a plan to Congress that would include “a path to full and equal citizenship” for those currently in the country illegally. She has also said that she would defend Obama’s executive orders that “provide relief from deportation for DREAMers and parents of Americans and lawful residents.” But that’s a far cry from ending “all immigration enforcement” and “open borders.” Clinton’s campaign website says she supports “humane, targeted immigration enforcement.” Specifically, the website says she would “focus enforcement resources on detaining and deporting those individuals who pose a violent threat to public safety.” In her book, “Hard Choices,” Clinton said she supported the 2013 Senate immigration bill, S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act.

Input: She went on to say that there was “no perfect approach to this thorny dilemma” and that “people of good faith and high intelligence can reach diametrically opposing conclusions.” But, she concluded, “I believe the best course is to go to the United Nations for a strong resolution” that calls “for complete, unlimited inspections with cooperation expected and demanded” from Saddam. “If we get the resolution the president seeks, and Saddam complies,” Clinton added, “disarmament can proceed and the threat can be eliminated. … If we get the resolution and Saddam does not comply, we can attack him with far more support and legitimacy than we would have otherwise.” This international support is “crucial,” she added, because, “after shots are fired and bombs are dropped, not all consequences are predictable.” Then came, from today’s vantage, the key passage: “Even though the resolution before the Senate is not as strong as I would like in requiring the diplomatic route first … I take the president at his word that he will try hard to pass a United Nations resolution and seek to avoid war, if possible. Because bipartisan support for this resolution makes success in the United Nations more likely and war less likely — and because a good faith effort by the United States, even if it fails, will bring more allies and legitimacy to our cause — I have concluded, after careful and serious consideration, that a vote for the resolution best serves the security of our nation.

Surkov has served as first deputy chief of the presidential administration, deputy prime minister, and most recently as a personal advisor to Putin on Ukraine and the breakaway republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Surkov is believed to have played a key role in Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and is on both the United States and European Union’s sanctions lists for helping to orchestrate the land grab. He is the Kremlin’s lead negotiator on the stalled peace talks in Ukraine. The Ukrainian presidential administration and the SBU declined requests for comment on the alleged hack.

Input: Trump also lit into the media outlets that published the stories of his accusers. But Trump’s attacking several of the women who say he groped or kissed them against their will could prove a tough sell with voters. It risked amplifying Michelle Obama’s central point: that Trump is a candidate who belittles real concerns women have about sexual assault. White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz argued that Trump faces a conundrum as the GOP nominee tries to dispute the portrait of him Michelle Obama is presenting on the campaign trail. Lashing out at her, Schultz predicted, would only hurt Trump more.

Input: News this week revealing the Obama administration’s handing over to Iran roughly $ 400 million to secure the full release of American hostages underscores certain truths and, in Bill Clinton’s own words, the president’s “awful legacy”. The manner in which he wired the funds, however, place into context why the Iran Deal was horrible, why the Western allies capitulated on every point to the Iranians, the U.S./NATO descent into fealty before the Russian government under Vladimir Putin, and finally why it is there was no signed treaty — only a deal outlined and agreed upon with little more than a handshake with Iran’s chief diplomat, Javad Zarif, during last spring’s summit in Vienna. I was assigned the task by my congressman, John J. Duncan, Jr., to read over the Iran nuclear deal’s “soft” outline which all parties — Iran, the U.S., Britain, France, Russia and China — were to agree under an “honor system” and the pledge for foreign weapons inspections sanctioned by the major world powers. Meanwhile, Russia will enjoy full exemptions from the deal’s standards due to an agreement with Tehran reached in September 2014 to supply Iran technology and nuclear expertise in exchange for oil as it pivots eastward in its strategic alliance with China.

The emails obtained by Yahoo News show that officials at the schools, while usually enthusiastic about the idea of having Snowden speak to their students, raised multiple questions about his appearances, including whether he was donating some portion of his payments to charities or nonprofit groups, whether he was paying U.S. taxes on his fees and whether the payments might be prohibited by an executive order signed by President Obama last year declaring cyberhacking a national security threat subject to sanctions by the U.S. Treasury Department. The bureau declined repeated requests to answer any questions from Yahoo News about its arrangement with Snowden. Wizner, Snowden’s U.S. lawyer, indicated to Yahoo News that Snowden has not filed any U.S. tax returns on his income in exile, but added: “I can assure you he will pay all taxes that he might owe.

We see Trump continuing to flatter Vladimir Putin. I find it particularly troubling that he flatters him in the context of assassinating journalists," Mook said Wednesday in Philadelphia. Mook has theorized that Trump and the Russians may have colluded to ensure the release of internal Democratic National Committee emails to ensure maximum damage to the party.

"Clinton’s home email server that she lied to the American people about was a profound national security risk, and it should come as no surprise that her campaign would push out another Obama-Clinton pawn (who is not independent) to try to change the subject in a week when Clinton’s role in putting Iran on the path to nuclear weapons and this Administration being called out for sending $ 400 million in cash to the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism is on every front page in the country," Trump said in a statement, in reference to the amount of money paid in cash to Iran earlier this year on the same day four American prisoners were freed."

Local police said there were two gunmen, one of whom was killed by gunfire at the checkpoint. Some media reported that four people were involved in the attack, which was called an attempted suicide bombing.

Input: The people who defended Clinton at all costs, regardless of the latest controversy, have done this country a disservice. The journalists who focused on removing Bernie Sanders from the race, while at the same time spreading the notion that Trump must be stopped (even if Bernie was cheated), helped create the “Never Hillary” hashtag. When voters are deceived and then told to accept the deception, a Trump presidency is the natural consequence.

Police allege the man then went on a crime rampage that started in Maryland and ended in the District.

Input: Another report issued two years ago by Harvard University conservatively estimated that the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars amounted to $ 75,000 for every American household. The report points to previous studies indicating that the wars cost tens of thousands of jobs and significantly reduced investment in infrastructure. The vast amount of resources diverted into slaughter and destruction in the Middle East and Central Asia could have funded the $ 3.32 trillion that the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) says must be spent over the next decade to fix America’s crumbling ports, highways, bridges, trains, water and electric facilities and paid off the entire $ 1.26 trillion in student debt, with money left over. Instead, the elected officials of both major capitalist parties have continuously insisted that there is no money for jobs, decent wages, education, health care and other basic necessities, while spending unlimited money on militarism and war, leaving the bill to be paid for through the intensification of austerity measures directed against the working class. The human and fiscal toll wrought by the wars of the last 15 years are only a foretaste of the global catastrophe that is threatened as US imperialism prepares for far larger wars, with its military escalation focused ever more directly against the world’s second and third largest nuclear powers, Russia and China.

Input: China buys record North Korean coal as sanctions ignored: Russell By Clyde Russell LAUNCESTON, Australia, Sept 26 (Reuters) -It appears that China is interpreting the "people's well-being" as meaning North Korea should be able to export record amounts of coal in defiance of sanctions against the rogue nuclear-armed state. China imported 2.465 million tonnes of coal from North Korea in August, the highest on record, and 61 percent above what was bought in April, the month sanctions were supposed to take effect. Tougher measures were imposed by the United Nations in March aimed at starving North Korea of funds for its nuclear and ballistic missile programme.

Input: “It is now clear that the illegal hack of my personal email account was – just like the other recent, election-related hacks – the work of the Russian government,” Podesta said in a statement, reacting to a Wall Street Journal report that the FBI suspects that Russian intelligence agencies are behind the hack. “This level of meddling by a foreign power can only be aimed at boosting Donald Trump and should send chills down the spine of all Americans, regardless of political party.” At a later rally in Lakeland, Florida, Trump made his clearest demand yet for Hillary Clinton to be jailed over her mishandling of classified information as secretary of state. The Republican candidate made a reference to Clinton being imprisoned during last Sunday’s presidential debate, but his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway later insisted it “was a quip”. On Wednesday, however, Trump reiterated his position and went further: “We are going to investigate this phony investigation,” he told a rally in Lakeland, Florida.

A United Nations panel has decided that Julian Assange’s three-and-a-half years in the Ecuadorian embassy amount to “arbitrary detention,” leading his lawyers to call for the Swedish extradition request to be dropped immediately. A Swedish foreign ministry spokeswoman confirmed that the UN panel, due to publish its findings on Friday, had concluded that Assange was “arbitrarily detained.” The WikiLeaks founder sought asylum from Ecuador in June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden to face questioning over rape and sexual assault allegations, which he denies.

Input: But by the middle of the 20th century yellow fever was gone from the northern hemisphere, as fumigation was used to beat the mosquito back. In Cuba the same remedy, and more effective sanitation, also removed the source of many of America’s epidemics. Vaccination campaigns in France’s west African colonies between 1933 and 1961 caused yellow fever virtually to disappear from the continent — until decolonisation, when vaccination rates plummeted and the disease reappeared. In South American cities yellow fever was once kept at bay by mosquito-control measures. But international arrivals add to the threat from travellers who have visited remote jungle areas, in some of which the disease is endemic.

Instead, seven weeks later, at a military base called Camp Justice, Saddam was hanged while Shiite guards taunted him. His body was delivered to the Prime Minister’s residence for display at a party. Wiley stayed in Baghdad for another two years, filing defense motions for former members of Saddam’s regime.

Input: Breaking reports of horror follow one another fast enough to induce a kind of whiplash. Or consider the strenuousness with which each political party now routinely denies that Americans are inherently violent, a refrain that can begin to feel like protesting too much. In his final speech at the Republican National Convention last month, Trump bemoaned the “violence in our streets and the chaos in our communities” but, true to form, laid the blame on hordes of “illegal immigrants … roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens”; “brutal Islamic terrorism”; and the enabling of a Democratic president whom Trump has previously and unsubtly intimated is n’t really American himself. Democrats likewise tend to suggest that, for Americans, acts of violence are an aberration. Announcing a gun safety program in the wake of last December’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, President Barack Obama declared: “We are not inherently more prone to violence.

Input: Bannon’s hire highlights a troubling trend: the blurring of the lines between media as campaign observer and campaign operative. With Bannon leading Trump’s presidential bid, the lines are now erased. And Bannon is n’t even the only media mogul helping: ousted Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes is reportedly advising Trump in the run up to the first debate, despite allegations against him of sexual misconduct at Fox. All of this would be unthinkable in any other election year. But with Trump’s unpredictable candidacy, anything goes.

Input: The remarks caused a furore and several people publicly criticised Kadyrov, with one local lawmaker in Siberia, Konstantin Senchenko, dubbing him "the shame of Russia" for amassing vast personal wealth and abusing his political post. Senchenko later apologised, writing that he "talked to some Chechen people and became convinced in the authority of the leader of Chechnya," in comments that were interpreted by many as a thinly-veiled announcement that he had received threats on his life. Kadyrov's outbursts have sparked an online debate, with supporters responding to the "shame of Russia" jibe with the hashtag "Kadyrov is the pride of Russia." "The time has come when the Motherland needs wise and principled decisions" to reign in its enemies, wrote the speaker of Chechnya's parliament, Magomed Daudov, listing names of several journalists, critics and rights activists. -Critics silenced-

Input: The operation of nuclear power plants is virtually carbon-neutral, although the processes of mining and enriching uranium fuel, operating backup generators and disposing of waste all produce emissions. Still, nuclear presents far less of a threat to the climate than oil and fracked gas, and advocates say that the opposition is more ideological than evidence-based. Potential safety threats are another matter: The Chernobyl explosion and meltdown, which took place 30 years ago, as well as the 2011 disaster at Fukushima cast a long shadow over the nuclear-energy debate. Uranium mining can also be hazardous to workers and the environment. And then there’s the problem of where to store spent fuel rods.

Input: He said that Jabhat Al-Nusa would not let trucks with humanitarian aid enter Aleppo “as long as the regime [forces] are along the Castello Road, in Al Malah and in the northern regions.” “The regime must withdraw from all the territories, and we will let the trucks in. If a truck is going in anyway, we will detain the driver,” he said. The idea of a transitional government in Syria is also not supported by Jabhat Al-Nusra, the commander said. “We accept no one from the Assad regime or of the Free Syrian Army, which is described as moderate.

End the Israeli Occupation did not provide the names of two of the activists so Israeli officials could not provide information on their attempts to enter.

What makes Obama’s drone joke particularly non-funny is that on the same night in 2010 — just a few hours before Obama spoke — a Bridgeport, Conn., man, Faisal Shahzad attempted to detonate a car bomb in New York City’s Times Square. After Shahzad was captured, he stated that one of his main motivations to kill Americans was “the drone strikes in Somalia and Yemen and in Pakistan.”

Input: This is part of a general pattern whereby the vast majority of their attacks are focused on more moderate rebel forces, not on the Islamic State. Trump has been entirely taken in by the disinformation line put out by Assad and Putin that they are fighting “terrorists,” a name that they apply to all opponents of Assad’s brutal regime. And Trump appears to fully approve of the war crimes they are committing — perhaps not so surprising from a candidate who has threatened to commit war crimes of his own, such as torturing terrorists, killing their relatives, bombing indiscriminately, and stealing Iraq’s oil. Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, has a better appreciation of the horrors being perpetrated in Syria.

Input: Trump and Putin are two of a kind: bigoted demagogues with dual histories of corruption and aggression. Critics of this relationship are therefore not merely reacting to outdated Cold War stereotypes — in fact, many are not even old enough to remember this era. Rather, they are rightfully wary of a mutually beneficial relationship between a Russian dictator and an American demagogue that could ultimately harm citizens of Russia, citizens of the US, and citizens of the many other states most directly affected by this alliance, starting with Ukraine and the Baltic members of NATO. As for comparisons to McCarthyism, the former senator’s paranoid proclamations and resolution to round up dissenting parties bears more far similarity to Trump’s behavior than to analysts who examine Trump’s Russian connections. Through Trump has had dealings with Russia going back years — he met with Trump-like, conspiracy-mongering mogul Vladimir Zhirinovsky in 2002 and has pursued business deals in Moscow since the Soviet era — he did not appear to become a popular subject of Russian media until 2014, which was around the time of his Fox interview where he supported Putin’s Sochi disaster.

Immigration officers would be able to immediately deport people visiting the country who "preach hate" and those who immigrate to the United States would be expected to assimilate, he said."

Input: Throughout the 90's and 00's, NATO continued to expand its operations, accept new member countries, and analyze new tactics. This year they officially recognized cyber warfare as an action of war, which could trigger member countries to come to the aid of others. Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, the section compelling member nations to provide aid, was invoked for the first time in the history of the organization in the wake of 9/11. NATO countries took over anti-terrorism operations in Afghanistan, and later spread to Iraq as well. More recently, in 2011, NATO was swept into controversy when it began an 8 month bombing campaign in Libya during its uprising.

Input: If the Kremlin has indeed begun interfering in the presidential race on Trump’s behalf, the bad blood between Putin and Clinton would seem like enough of a motivation. Putin’s list of grievances goes back a lot further than Clinton’s alleged support for the Russian protest movement. In 2009, soon after President Obama took office, his newly appointed Secretary of State initiated what the White House called a “reset” in relations with Russia. At the time, Putin had already positioned himself as an adversary to the U.S., or at least a check on American influence in the world, and he showed no inclination for making friends with Obama. But constitutional term limits had forced Putin to switch to the less powerful role of Prime Minister the previous year, and his younger protégé, Dmitri Medvedev, then took over the presidency.

Input: And it would not feature random home visits at the White House. Instead, Clinton almost certainly would be assigned by the U.S. probation office in the nation’s capital to an administrative caseload, which comprises low-risk, low-need offenders. Administrative probation generally features monthly self-reporting by offenders about the time rent’s due – a box-checking exercise that allows probation officers to focus on more serious cases. If administrative probation offenders do not have a drug habit, they are n’t tested for illicit substances, according to two chief U.S. probation officers who oversee federal probation offices. People who travel frequently for work, such as commercial truckers, are given the leeway necessary to perform their jobs, usually after submitting an itinerary or route.

Input: "In the past, the freshwater provision to troops stationed in the South China Sea could not be guaranteed, and could only be provided by boats delivering barrels of water," the Global Times cited the report as saying." In the future, as the South China Sea electricity and power system is strengthened, China will speed up the commercial development of the South China Sea region," it added. China has rapidly built up reefs in the sea into artificial islands in recent months, installing civilian and military facilities on them. The report comes after a Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) tribunal on Tuesday backed the Philippines ' case that there was no legal basis for Beijing's maritime claims which extend almost to the coasts of neighbouring states. It also found that China's activities had inflicted severe damage to fragile coral ecosystems and caused serious harm to endangered species. China has insisted that it will ignore the decision while warning its rivals that increasing pressure on the issue could turn the resource-rich waters into a "cradle of war". The state-backed website The Paper on Friday quoted China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) engineer Zhu Hanchao as saying that 20 marine nuclear platforms were in development. But Zhu added that they would be deployed to oilfields in the Bohai Sea off China's northeast coast, not in the South China Sea. CSIC could not immediately be reached for comment. Beijing included the development of two marine nuclear power plants, to be built by CNNC and the China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) respectively, in its five-year plan for 2016-2020, both companies announced this year. It did not specify where the marine facilities would be constructed. The CNNC plant is expected to start operation in 2019 and CGN's the following year, according to their statements. Nuclear power is already used at sea for aircraft carriers and submarines, but doing so for civilian purposes appears to be unprecedented. A similar Russian project is reportedly already under construction. A spokesman for CNNC told Reuters the floating reactors plan had been drawn up by its affiliate, the Nuclear Power Institute of China, and a final decision would be made by CSIC. CSIC was not immediately available for comment.

Input: In the coming weeks, the organization charged with maintaining the internet's infrastructure will unveil a plan to surrender the US government's oversight, marking a symbolic step towards more decentralized internet control after years of international pressure. If all goes as planned, on September 30, the US will cede its control of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the nonprofit charged with managing components like internet protocols and domain names. The decision has been on the horizon since ICANN was founded in the 1990s, but the scheduled transition has not been without opposition.
