    My sense is that this hasn't gotten much attention, but tells us a lot about where we are and we're going when it comes to perceptions (based in reality or not) of "persecution" “White Christians are now a minority of the U.S. population, survey says”

    UN votes to let provide support to French-led Sahel G5 force. Yes, lots of questions.

    I suppose there's a book to be written about military parades and how armies chose to demonstrate different attributes. Not sure what's being communicated here, in the video clip below.

    Interesting comparison of drone tech with early days of military aviation. Bottom line is that however advanced drones have become already, and however ubiquitous now on battlefield, we've only just begun.

    Important correction. Today is and is not anniversary of 's independence. Like many things, it's political and has to do with the narrative one favors, although technically independence came on 5 August.

    German readers might find this article about Austrian Army use of horses interesting. Aren't those Haflingers beautiful?

    Clear trend toward targeting officials, including senior officials, in central Mali. Makes governance all-but impossible.

    Governments play a key role in human development, and public schools are the single most effective means of nation building. I'm sure the Senator agrees with that.

    Unbelievable but still necessary in Berlin 72 years after the fall of Hitler that one has to take a stand decrying the call to murder Jews.

    At issue for me isn't G5 per se but Algeria's apparent reticence to help more with regional problem.

  18. ಡಿಸೆಂ 10

    Algeria refuses to participate in G5 Sahel because refuses to serve outside borders. Seems kind of irresponsible, no? Esp. given Algerian origins of AQIM?

    Articles argues that use of France-backed West African common currency imperfect but on balance a good deal; and a divorce might be costly. I'd like to see more analyses like this of pros and cons.

    Yesterday at the pro-Palestine rally in Istanbul, i talked to many Turks on why they support Palestinian statehood. “They are our Muslim brothers,” they said. Would you support independence for Kurds, who are Muslims, too? “Nooo,” that is a “zionist” or “Israeli” plan, they said

ಲೋಡಿಂಗ್ ಸಮಯ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವಂತೆನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

Twitter ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಮೀರಿರಬಹುದು ಅಥವಾ ಕ್ಷಣಿಕವಾದ ತೊಂದರೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುತ್ತಿರಬಹುದು. ಮತ್ತೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿ ಅಥವಾ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಮಾಹಿತಿಗೆ Twitter ಸ್ಥಿತಿಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಿ.

    ಇದನ್ನೂ ಸಹ ನೀವು ಇಷ್ಟಪಡಬಹುದು
