Delving into Henry Kissinger’s dark side The National Security Archive has compiled a collection of previously classified documents that shed light on the controversial career of Henry Kissinger in US diplomacy and politics. These documents, which were obtained…
🌎 Operation Condor in South America

In August 1976, Kissinger is seen resisting pressing the South American military regimes on their transnational murder operations known as Operation Condor. After Kissinger was briefed on the plans, under Condor, “to find and kdemarche ill terrorists … in their own countries and in Europe,” he rescinded a proposed set to be delivered to General Pinochet in Chile, General Videla in Argentina, and Uruguay’s junta officers. Days later, Pinochet’s agents carried out a terrorist attack in Washington, D.C., planting a car bomb that killed former Chilean ambassador Orlando Letelier and his colleague, Ronni Moffitt.

🌏 ‘Genocide’ in South Asia

Nixon and Kissinger’s policies tacitly supported in 1971 what has been called a ‘genocide’ in East Pakistan, committed by Pakistan’s military dictator, General Agha Muhammad Yahya Khan (Yahya). Kissinger wrote to Nixon in a memorandum that Washington should be “making the most of the relationship with Yahya, while engaging in a serious effort to move the situation toward conditions less damaging to US and Pakistani interests.” He adds, “To all hands: Don't squeeze Yahya at this time.” It was estimated that three million civilians in East Pakistan were killed that year.

Who are the Foreign Volunteers fighting for Russia?

“These people fought on the side of light because they clearly distinguished where the work of demons was and where the work of God was. These are people who, without knowing each other and coming from different sides, ended up together here in the Donbass,” Vasily Vorobyov, a decorated Russian soldier, told Sputnik’s Russell Bentley (@TXDPR).

🧪 Poisoning of Ukrainian military intel chief’s wife likely 'staged to oust Zaluzhny', ex-CIA analyst says

The suspected poisoning attack on Marianna Budanova, wife of Kyrylo Budanov, is a true “who done it,” Larry Johnson, retired CIA intelligence officer and State Department official, told Sputnik.

He added that there are plenty of people and organizations with motives. Johnson said that some point the finger at “General Zaluzhy’s crew,” since Budanov is suspected of being behind the recent “birthday grenade death” of Zaluzhny’s chief of staff.

Amid reports of bitter infighting in Kiev, Marianna Budanova’s targeting may have also been “staged to implicate Zaluzhny in order to add fuel to the movement to oust him,” Johnson said.

🇩🇪 German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has been excoriated on social media for insisting that Ukraine’s future lies in the EU and NATO

“We must do everything we can to support them on this path,” Baerbock had posted on X social media platform.

Netizens did not hesitate to accuse the German top diplomat, a notorious advocate of continuing to prop up the Kiev regime, of “driving Europe towards an abyss.“

Some pointed out that NATO would never accept Ukraine as Washington “wants a proxy war, no direct involvement.“

Others slammed the alliance as “an aggressive and hateful union that is never interested in peace.“

Still others marveled at how someone like Baerbock “had ever become foreign minister.”

🇮🇱🇵🇸 The latest terrorist attack in Jerusalem, as well as the second one in the Jordan Valley, will make the negotiations between Israel and Hamas more complicated, and "might open the door again for military operations, especially in the southern part of Gaza", Ayman Yousef, Professor in political sciences and international relations at the Arab-American University in Palestine, told Sputnik.

"Today, we had two attacks: one in Jerusalem and the other near Israeli settlements, in the Jordan Valley. And both attacks will have some repercussions and implications for overall exchange of detainees and the prisoners. And, I think now the strongest voices in Israel will rise and might reject any kind of renewal of these humanitarian short tactical pauses. So I think negotiations in the future will get more complicated."
