Putin Wins a Second Match  :  Information Clearing House - ICH

February 14, 2015 "ICH"
- Has Russia’s Vladimir Putin pulled Barack
Obama’s chestnuts out of the fire for a
second time?



Will the shaky cease-fire in Ukraine that
began this weekend hold up and end a
conflict that was threatening a nuclear war
between the United States and Russia?



The answer to the first question is yes.
Remember back in 2013 when the Obama White
House was threatening to attack Syria over
allegations it was using poison gas?



As it turned out, the UN found it was the
US-backed Syrian rebels who were likely to
have used chemical weapons rather than the
Damascus regime.



Noble Peace Prize Winner Obama and his lady
strategists almost got the US into a war in
Syria that could have led to direct clashes
with Russia, which was backing the Damascus
government.

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries. The outcomes and potential outcomes of these uprisings have also acquired new, very significant dimensions. These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
