Тайна катастрофы в Актау

Катастрофа пассажирского лайнера Embraer 190 азербайджанской государственной авиакомпании Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) в Актау обратила внимание экспертного сообщества на ряд доселе искусно спрятанных «скелетов в шкафах» ведущих мировых авиакомпаний.

The story is simple. In stark violation of international law, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers claim the right to rule over seven million Palestinian Arabs. When Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands leads to militant resistance, Israel labels the resistance “terrorism” and calls on the U.S. to overthrow the Middle East governments that back the “terrorists.” The U.S., under the sway of the Israel Lobby, goes to war on Israel’s behalf.

Some Clarity on Imperialism Today

The arguments embroiling the left on the nature of imperialism, over whether Peoples’ China or Russia is capitalist or imperialist, whether the pink tide in Latin America is a socialist trend, whether the BRICS development is an anti-imperialist movement, and so forth, are becoming more and more heated as they proceed further and further into the academic weeds.
