“Neil always understood colonialism and occupation and without fail sided with the oppressed. He would be urging his friends in Sinn Fein to persuade their leadership to stand with those in Palestine by refusing to attend the St Patrick’s day celebrations in the White House”

The Pizza Hut Gorby

As if the dancing drunkard Yeltsin was not enough to humiliate Russia in the ‘90s, Gorbachev decided (or was it decided for him?) to make a few extra bucks and make an appearance in a Pizza Hut commercial, aired in January of 1998.

The gloomy colour palette of this cringey and humiliating commercial set the tone for the desolation and wholesale plunder of Russia and the former USSR republics in the ‘90s, to sustain the economic cravings of the West.

Yet, only in 15-20 years’ time - after the pivoting 2009 - the talk of the «Russian threat» would start anew, first timidly and humorously, and then in full force at the official level…

1902.

The 71 year old ex-cricketer will now spend the next ten years in jail for daring to repeat the USA's threats that he received in a letter.
Imran Kahn's opposition to the American control over Pakistani affairs had created a mass movement in support of the his defiance. He had been arrested several times and was finally held from August last year on corruption charges.

This is the US hegemony at work. The USA can not take any dispute of it's rule. Especially now as it's empire is crumbling.

Officials from Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Iraqi Kurdistan and other “independent countries” condemned the attack on the US base in Jordan. And still not a single statement condemning israeli aggression in the suburbs of Damascus.
