    (time for Mexico to join NATO) A fleet of Iranian warships will soon depart for the Gulf of Mexico i

    Iran is set to send its warships to the Gulf of Mexico in a bid to establish itself as a global military power. The audacious move has been announced by the Islamic theocracy's new naval commander, Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi. Khanzadi also said he intends to add submarines to the Iranian fleet's ranks, in moves that could give the US cause to fear a new cold war with the Middle Eastern power. read more... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5111061/Iranian-warships-soo

    (once again, just like chernobyl...) Russia denies nuclear accident after radioactive traces found

    Russia says a nuclear accident has not occurred on its territory despite "extremely high" traces of a radioactive isotope being found. Russia's weather service acknowledged it had measured pollution of ruthenium-106 at 1,000 times normal levels in the Ural mountains. It said there was no health risk. The announcement appeared to confirm a report by France's nuclear safety institute which detected a cloud of radioactive pollution over Europe. via BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/wo

    Russian fake-news campaign against Canadian troops in Latvia includes propaganda about litter, luxur

    The 450 Canadian troops stationed in Latvia face little danger from actual Russian military forces, which remain for now safely ensconced on the other side of the border. But they have been the target of repeated information-warfare salvos in the five months since they arrived in the tiny Baltic country, as fake news designed to discredit NATO forces is routinely disseminated online, say Latvian and Canadian officials.

    (fake news) RT America Registers as Foreign Agent at Demand of US Justice Department © Sputnik/Evgen

    quick commentary ok so this is actually true, however what is fake is poor vladimir putin´s reaction to this... so this is what the article says... ... The Justice Department's decision to compel RT to register as a foreign agent in the US has prompted harsh criticism from watchdogs and organizations. ok, so the fun part is when they provide an example of a "watchdog" that has criticized this long overdue move by the Justice department... ...The head of Russia's presidential

    Episode 28: What life is REALLY like at the Mexico-US border with Tony Payan

    So in this episode, i interview DR. tony payan from Rice University in Houston on what the border really looks like. Tony is originally from the border region and has studied it intensively over the last two decades or so... this guy KNOWS the border better than anyone, including mexican and american authorities. Of course the focus of discussion is on what impact the "WALL" will have (and whether it will solve any problems) but we also deal with other related issues.

    Navy Tests Hypersonic Weapons That Could Hit Anywhere on Earth in an Hour

    The U.S. Navy is testing technology that could deliver a conventional warhead anywhere on Earth in as little as an hour. As first reported by US Naval Institute News, the Navy performed a flight test last week featuring Prompt Global Strike, a hypersonic weapon system designed to give the U.S. the ability to quickly strike targets worldwide with almost no notice. Interest in very long range precision-guided weapons surfaced in 2001, when the George W. Bush Administration expr

    Europe’s Greatest War-Risk Is in the Baltics

    Since 2014, the NATO alliance has made numerous posture changes on its eastern flank to deter Russia. Essentially, the alliance’s goal is to change Russian behavior, but how does one measure such policy modifications in Moscow? The RAND Corporation recently released a new report that attempts to build an analytical framework to do just that. “Despite its overall military advantages, NATO faces an imbalance in conventional capabilities in regions bordering Russia, such as the
