Rusko nebude v klidu. Jan Schneider o „barbarské“ akci USA. A koho je Trump schopen zneužít?

ROZHOVOR Barbarská brutalita Spojených států. Tak označuje bezpečnostní expert, bývalý zpravodajec BIS a chartista Jan Schneider úder USA v Iráku, který zabil íránského generála Sulejmáního. Trump prý akci podnikl především kvůli voličům. Rusko podle Schneidera kvůli Trumpově „hře“ na Blízkém východě klidné být nemůže, neboť to ukázalo nepředvídatelnost amerického prezidenta.

After Retaliation, Iran’s 40-Year Conflict With U.S. Likely to Return to the Shadows

Now that Tehran and Washington have openly exchanged fire, the conflict between the two nations will continue in the shadows where it has been fought for 40 years — and where Iran’s Revolutionary Guard still seeks to exact revenge for the U.S. killing its top commander.

But after the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, Iran now knows that any attack that even its proxies launch could trigger another American strike. President Donald Trump’s backers say the raised stakes have restored “big stick” deterrence that American enemies and allies had begun to doubt after Trump failed to respond militarily to repeated Iranian aggression. His critics say he has ushered in a new era that makes every American a target for kidnapping and assassination across the Middle East, and beyond.

Trump seemed satisfied on Wednesday that Tehran had learned its lesson, saying in a televised address that he was “ready to embrace peace with all who seek it,” after the overnight barrage of ballistic missiles fire..

City Treasurer Says Official Is Blocking Her From Taking Office Because She’s Black

The newly elected treasurer of a small city in western Pennsylvania asserted in a lawsuit Wednesday that city officials plotted to block her from taking office because she is black.

Uniontown Treasurer-elect Antoinette Hodge alleged that a city councilman, Martin Gatti, took action to prevent her from being sworn in as scheduled this week and called her a “colored girl” in a discussion with officials at a bonding agency.

Gatti, a defendant in the lawsuit, has adamantly denied using racist language, saying at a council meeting Monday that he had legitimate questions about Hodge’s financial background.

The federal suit, which also names as defendants the city of Uniontown and its clerk, Kimberly Marshall — Gatti’s sister-in-law — seeks to force the city to seat Hodge and to prevent city officials from interfering with her ability to do the job, Hodge’s lawyer, Joel Sansone, said at a news conference Wednesday. The suit also seeks unspecified money damages.

“We will not allow the raci..

Brazilian Judge Orders Netflix to Remove Gay Jesus Christmas Special

(RIO DE JANEIRO) — A Brazilian judge on Wednesday ordered Netflix to stop showing a Christmas special that some called blasphemous for depicting Jesus as a gay man and which prompted a gasoline bomb attack on the satirists behind the program.

The ruling by Rio de Janeiro judge Benedicto Abicair responded to a petition by a Brazilian Catholic organization that argued the “honor of millions of Catholics” was hurt by the airing of “The First Temptation of Christ.” The special was produced by the Rio-based film company Porta dos Fundos, whose headquarters was targeted in the Christmas Eve attack.

Netflix told The Associated Press it would not comment on the ruling.

Porta dos Fundos also declined to comment on the judge’s decision, which contradicted an earlier decision rejecting censorship of the program. The ruling is valid until another court orders otherwise.

Abicair said the program’s withdrawal “is beneficial not only to the Christian community, but to Brazilian society which is m..

Furt brečím? Babiš odpověděl občanovi. A lítalo to: Průšvih ODS, Sobotka, migrace, rozpočet

Předseda vlády Andrej Babiš se pustil do debaty s jedním z občanů, s panem Miroslavem Gajakem, který Babišovi vytkl, že vládne této zemi – ať už jako ministr financí, nebo jako předseda vlády – už šest let, ale pořád se vymlouvá na to, co tu napáchaly vlády předchozí. Babiš spolu se svým týmem odpověděl velmi obsáhle, jak je jeho zvykem, na sociálních sítích. Přesvědčte se sami, za co všechno sám sebe pochválil.

Idiocie USA! Rakety za smrt? Kdyby Írán chtěl… Ostrá debata o odvetě za Sulejmáního

Publicista Daniel Veselý se na rozhlasových vlnách utkal s bývalým diplomatem, teď vedoucím programu bezpečnostních strategií bezpečnostního centra Evropské hodnoty Martinem Svárovským. Přeli se o to, jak hodnotit usmrcení velitele íránských jednotek Quds Kásima Sulejmáního. Zatímco podle Veselého spáchali Američané teroristický akt, podle Svárovského je svět po smrti Sulejmáního bezpečnějším místem.
