The Role of the U.S. Military in #World #Politics
Undeniably, the U.S. #military liberated #Europe from #fascism. Only because of this could very bad #war criminals be punished.
However, today, in contrast, one must ask how many tyrants have been brought to power by the U.S. military or can hold on to power because of it.

#YPJ #fighter Berfin Rizgar was martyred on the front line in Ain Issa on November 18. The command of the #Women's #Defense Units has published a memorial statement.
YPJ (Women’s Defense Units) fighter Berfin Rizgar (Cihan Misto) was martyred in action on November 18 at Ain Issa. The command of the Women's Defense Units announced her martyrdom in a statement published on Saturday and expressed their sympathy to her family.
"Our comrade Cihan Misto, code name Berfin, joined the YPJ at the time of the Kobanê war. On November 18, she joined the Caravan of Martyrs on the Ebû-Sira Front while carrying out her mission against the attacks of the Turkish occupying state," said the YPJ Command.
Berfin Rizgar was born and raised in Kobanê in 1995 and joined the defense units with her brother during the #IS attack on the city in 2014. Her first experience within the YPJ was in an extreme #war situation. She had to say goodbye to hundreds of dead including her brother Rizgar and gave her word to avenge them.
"Heval (Comrade) Berfin went to the front line with great anger and hatred and defeated the IS in Kobanê together with her companions. In doing so, she fulfilled the promise she had made to the martyrs and liberated Kobanê from the hands of the inhuman IS gangs. Under these conditions, which were as difficult as they were meaningful, she quickly developed and gained great experience. She took on the role of a commander and trained hundreds of young women. She taught her female companions how and why they had to fight for a free life.
Heval Berfin showed great discipline, attention and responsibility in life and as a commander. She dealt extensively with fighting methods and dealt with the question of which front can be defended and how.”
After the victory over the IS in Kobanê, Berfîn Rizgar was also present when the #Islamists were defeated in Deir ez-Zor and lost their territorial domination. The YPJ freed hundreds of #Yezidis from the IS captivity and retaliated for the #enslavement of thousands of #women.
The statemend concluded: "As YPJ, we give our word to all the bereaved that we will avenge the martyrs. Like Heval Berfin, we will fulfill our current tasks and show our solidarity with those fallen in our #liberation struggle. We also say: Dema Azadiyê ye [Time for freedom]. Let us all defend our country, our language and our system of a #democratic nation together in this time in a #mobilization".

VETERAN’S DAY: Watching My Students Turn into Soldiers of Empire – Consortiumnews
#politics #imperialism #war
it’s demonstrably clear that, since the founding of the U.S. military’s Africa Command (AFRICOM) in 2008, violence on the continent has only increased, while Islamist terror and insurgent groups have proliferated in an exponential fashion. To be fair, though, such counterproductivity has been the name of the game in the “war on terror” since it began.

Members and allies of the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) will mark the day by mourning all victims of World War Two and speaking up about the need to resist war and work for just and lasting peace.
Sadly, the UK government and certain #military groups are instead encouraging people to “celebrate” the day, which was known in 1945 as VJ Day (“Victory over Japan”).
Remember and disarm
#Remembrance is important to the Peace Pledge Union. We seek to remember all #victims of war, both #civilians and armed forces personnel, of all nationalities.
The end of #WorldWarTwo came after unimaginable suffering for people of many nationalities, including in #Japan, #China and the Pacific. The horrors included the appalling treatment of civilians in several parts of east Asia as well as the #torture of British and other allied troops in #Japanese prison camps. In one of the biggest atrocities of the war, over 300,000 Japanese civilians were killed when the US Air Force dropped #nuclear bombs on the cities of #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki on 6th and 9th August #1945.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is crafting plans to deploy about 150 federal agents to Chicago this week, the Chicago Tribune has learned, a move that would come amid growing controversy nationally about federal force being used in American cities.www.chicagotribune.com
In Kaliningrad, during the military parade, one of the participants lost a shoe - in the manner of Cinderella - but continues to march. The head of the Baltic Sea Fleet arranged to reward the girl without a shoe for iron discipline: she did not exit the line and kept the array.
The San Antonio class landing platform dock USS Portland has successfully knocked down a small drone using its new laser directed energy weapon. The ship was first spotted with the system installed as it left its homeport in San Diego California in December 2019, which The War Zone was first to report.MORE:
The U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet announced the test of Portland's laser weapon, which is formally known as the Laser Weapon System Demonstrator (LWSD) Mk 2 Mod 0, on May 22, 2020. The test itself took place on May 16 at an unspecified location in the Pacific Ocean. The service described the event as "the first system-level implementation of a high-energy class solid-state laser," but did not say if this was the first time that the ship has actually fired the weapon.
"The Solid State Laser Weapons System Demonstrator is a unique capability the Portland gets to test and operate for the Navy, while paving the way for future weapons systems," Navy Captain Karrey Sanders, Portland's commanding officer, said in a statement. "By conducting advanced at sea tests against UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] and small crafts, we will gain valuable information on the capabilities of the Solid State Laser Weapons System Demonstrator against potential threats."
Northrop Grumman developed the LWSD Mk 2 Mod 0 for the Navy as part of the Solid-State Laser Technology Maturation (SSL-TM) program and delivered it to San Diego for installation on Portland in late 2019, something The War Zone was also first to report. The service had announced that the San Antonio class ship would be the first to carry this laser weapon back in 2018 and had originally planned to conduct the first at-sea tests by the end of September 2019.
The Navy expects the 150-kilowatt class LWSD Mk 2 Mod 0 to primarily provide ships with an additional line of defense against unmanned aircraft and small boat swarms. The laser can also act as a dazzler, blinding optical sensors and seekers. The full system can use its own integrated full-motion video cameras, which are used to track targets and aim the weapon, to conduct surveillance, as well.
The SSL-TM program is just one of four active programs that the service is working on as part of the Navy Laser Family of Systems, which will hopefully serve as stepping stones to more powerful and otherwise capable laser weapons in the future. The Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS Dewey is also now equipped with what looks to be an initial version of the Optical Dazzling Interdictor, Navy (ODIN) system, another naval directed energy development that The War Zone was first to report on and that you can find out more about in this past piece.

A war rondeau written by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, a poet, physician, and soldier of Canada. He wrote the poem the day after performing the burial service of his close friend, Alexis Helmer who was killed during the Second Battle of Ypres in Flanders, Belgium. At the burial McCrae noted how quickly red poppy flowers grew around the graves of those who died at Ypres. The following day, after finishing his composition, McCrae handed his notepad to another member of his unit, Sergeant Major Cyril Allinson, who read the poem and described it as being “almost an exact description of the scene in front of us both.”#WWI #history #war
Creative ignorants who are not aware that their Norway is one of the countries withe EISCAT weather control system.
https://www.nrk.no/chasing-climate-change-1.14859595
EISCAT
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EISCAT
Long term weather control means climate control.
The climate is changed by climate control measures.
Climate control is implemented to manage the tropospheric wind-water streams, in the case of Norway to deliver water to Saudi Arabia for industrial desert farming and fracking of oil and gas.
While the people in Norway may wonder about the “warming” in whole Scandinavia, they should question how this is connected to the freezing in Arabia, plus the huge amounts rain, hail and snow falling onto the desert.
The ground water level is regularly increased by that. About 230 dams are filled and thousand of kilometers of water pipelines are build for effective water distribution.
#Saudi #water pipelines (thousands of kilometers) & dams (at least 230) & #CO2 #gasification!

Iranians know only too well how conflict can break bodies and souls, says academic Shahram Khosravi
in case you were looking for it... the true spirit of Christmas, beyond religion.That reminds me:
ivan zlax wrote the following post Fri, 11 Oct 2019 18:44:22 +0300In 1940, the Germans occupied British territory in Europe - the Channel Islands off the coast of France. And...
During the occupation, not a single shot was fired - there were not a single guerrilla on the islands for 66 thousand Englishmen. Not a single German soldier was killed or even wounded.
В 1940 году немцы оккупировали британскую территорию в Европе — Нормандские острова у побережья Франции. И...
За время оккупации не прозвучал ни один выстрел — на 66 тысяч англичан на островах не нашлось ни одного партизана. Ни один немецкий солдат не был убит или даже ранен.
No one went out to fight on the fields and streets. Courts worked, but according to the laws of the Third Reich, the British police continued to serve on the streets - only paid them in Reichsmarks. Cinema and theatres worked. The British did not moan from oppression. Volunteer detachments guarded the airfields from where the planes took off to bomb London. Everyone was sure that London would fall. Despite the beautiful speeches of Churchill.
Никто не вышел сражаться на поля и улицы. Работали суды, но по законам Третьего рейха, британская полиция продолжала нести службу на улицах — только платили им уже в рейхсмарках. Работали кино и театры. Англичане не стонали от угнетения. Добровольческие отряды охраняли аэродромы, откуда взлетали самолёты бомбить Лондон. Все были уверены, что Лондон падёт. Несмотря на красивые речи Черчилля.
"Resistance? What resistance? - the British writer Madeleine Bunting, who wrote a book on the occupation in the nineties, was surprised to ask the islanders and asked many eyewitnesses about it. 570 people were sent to concentration camps in Europe - among them three Jews, three Communists, the rest "for criminal offences" ("pickpockets", violation of curfews, theft of food from warehouses), 22 did not return.
«Сопротивление? Какое сопротивление?» — с удивлением спрашивали островитяне британскую писательницу Мадлен Бантинг, в девяностые написавшую книгу об оккупации, и опросившую для этого многих очевидцев. 570 человек были отправлены в концлагеря в Европу — среди них было трое евреев, три коммуниста, остальные — «за уголовные преступления» («карманники», нарушение комендантского часа, кража еды со складов), 22 не вернулись назад.
On the islands there were 4 concentration camps for prisoners of war (mainly from the USSR), who were building military fortifications. 700 people died and were buried on the island. As is evident from the case of the old lady, they were sometimes hidden and fed, but in general, such manifestations of kindness were an exception. The islanders did not want to quarrel with the Germans and did not want to get into trouble. "But they were sympathetic to the prisoners," says the historian. Of course, it made prisoners feel much better.
На островах было 4 концлагеря для военнопленных (в основном из СССР), которые строили военные укрепления. 700 человек погибло и похоронены на острове. Как явствует из случая со старой леди, иногда их прятали и кормили, но в целом подобные проявления доброты были единичны. Островитяне не хотели ссориться с немцами, и не хотели ввязываться в проблемы. «Но относились к пленным с сочувствием», как пишет историк. Пленным от этого, конечно же, становилось намного лучше.
