the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

failed evolution Instead of trying to save anything left from his reputation, Barack Obama proceeded in one more action that put the final gravestone on it. The preposterous action of the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats, demonstrates the tragic dead-end which the US foreign policy currently faces. Obama 'managed' to: Reduce the behaviour of a superpower into that of a minor country that acts carelessly. Expose the decline of the US empire. Give extra credits to Russia, especially after the 'checkmate' from Putin who took advantage of this absolutely irresponsible action, declaring, indirectly, that he will not act with the same irresponsibility. Give extra credits to Donald Trump who has been presented as an 'oncoming disaster' by the mainstream media. Compared to Obama's irresponsibility, Trump will look as a much more responsible president who tries to normalize relations with Russia, instead of

On Thursday, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security released a joint analysis report addressing persistent allegations that the Russian government hacked the U.S. election. Though, as the White House fact sheet asserts, the report largely consists of tips to improve cyber security and prevent future attacks, it also appears to cite evidence Russian Intelligence Services (RIS) actively attempted to hack into U.S. systems, a campaign the government has named “GRIZZLY STEPPE.” But as the media runs with the story and many outlets accept the 13-page report as fact, veterans of the intelligence community have pointed out flaws with the FBI-DHS analysis. According to Philip Giraldi, a former CIA agent, the report fails to prove Russia is behind the hack. In a recent Facebook post, he asserted that “ apart from assertions of Russian activity connected to an unnamed political party, [the report] provides absolutely no evidence that the alleged intrusions int

The typical pettiness and vengefulness of the Obama administration was at full display with yesterday's expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats and the closing of two Russian estates in New York and Maryland. Obama also sanctioned the Russian external intelligence service FSB and the military intelligence service GRU as well as some of its leaders for doing their job. The move was ostensibly over alleged but completely unproven Russian "hacking" to influence the U.S. election. But the real reason is likely Obama's loss of face after being left out of the successful negotiations of a new ceasefire in Syria. True to form the Russian government responded with high-class trolling and generosity. More: http://www.moonofalabama.org/2016/12/master-judoka-putin-outclasses-lame-duck-obama.html

Σε μια διπλωματική … ντρίμπλα προχώρησε ο Βλάμιντιρ Πούτιν εν μέσω του ψυχρού και cyber πολέμου που έχει ξεσπάσει τις τελευταίες ημέρες μεταξύ Μόσχας και Ουάσιγκτον. Ο Ρώσος Πρόεδρος ανακοίνωσε ότι δεν θα προχωρήσει σε απελάσεις Αμερικανών διπλωματών ως αντίποινα στην αντίστοιχη κίνηση Ομπάμα. Με την τελική του απόφαση ο Ρώσος Πρόεδρος δείχνει να «αδειάζει» τον υπουργό Εξωτερικών της χώρας Σεργκέι Λαβρόφ που εισηγήθηκε τις απελάσεις 35 Αμερικανών διπλωματών, αν δεν ήταν προσχεδιασμένη η κίνηση αυτή. Δημιουργεί δε, νέα δεδομένα στις σχέσεις που θέλει να σφυρηλατήσει με τις ΗΠΑ. Ο Πούτιν στην σχετική ανακοίνωση που αναρτήθηκε στην επίσημη ιστοσελίδα του Κρεμλίνου, τονίζει ότι θα αξιολογήσει τις κινήσεις του νέου προέδρου των ΗΠΑ, Ντόναλντ Τραμπ πριν αναλάβει δράση. Μάλιστα προχωρά ακόμη ένα βήμα παραπέρα, λέγοντας ότι προτίθεται να καλέσει τις οικογένειες των Αμερικανών διπλωματών σε εορταστική εκδήλωση για τον καινούργιο χρόνο στο Κρεμλίνο.

Russian military forces have discovered mass graves in eastern parts of the Syrian city of Aleppo, with many of the bodies reportedly showing signs of torture. Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, a spokesperson for the Russian defense ministry, announced the horrifying discovery on Monday. “ Many of the corpses were found with missing body parts, and most had gunshot wounds to the head, ” he said, according to RT, a Russian state-owned news network. Until recently, the eastern portion of Aleppo, once Syria’s largest city and industrial and financial center, was under the control of so-called “moderate” rebels, many of whom have received both intelligence and material support from the United States and its allies in the Middle East. Last week, Russian and Syrian military forces oversaw the evacuation of civilians from eastern Aleppo. Prior to that, the rebel-held portion of the city had been controlled by two main factions, Jabhat al-Nusra, a terrorist group with
