NATO acts like a country
A part of the NATO missile shield was brought online during a ceremony at
the Deveselu air base on Thursday.
Speaking at the event, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg attempted to
play down the idea that the base could threaten Russia’s deterrence capacities.
“Our system cannot undermine or weaken Russia’s strategic deterrent, and we
cannot shoot down their intercontinental ballistic missiles with interceptors
neither from the site here, in Romania, or the site we are building in Poland,”
he said.
The US
Few have run for the presidency with the kind of name recognition as Hillary
Clinton. She has an established name and is also the establishment’s trusted
candidate. Though among many voters she has significant negatives. Barring
an upset she is positioned to win her party’s nomination. The question is – can
she win the hearts and minds – and votes of the American people?

2. Cuba already knows who its real friends are’ – Cuban Five (EXCLUSIVE)
A spy ring known as the Cuban Five – known for monitoring Cuban exiles in
the U.S. – has received a red-carpet welcome in Moscow… where they were met
by the Russian Foreign Minister, who stressed Russia’s role in securing their
release. But before that reception, the five had quite a story to tell..
Joshua Tartakovsky is a travelling international journalist. In recent years, he
lived in the Ukrainian-attacked Donbass, Venezuela, Cuba and Brazil. His
main interest is globalization and its discontents: the subjugation of poor
independent nations by the global financial capital, the rebirth of Nazism in
Ukraine and Eastern Europe in general with a blessing from the EU and the
US, the technology of “color revolutions” aimed at destabilizing elected
governments.
In his interview to Dmitry Babich Mr. Tartakovsky tells about the main
problem of our days: about the attempts by the US-based global elite to
subjugate the elites of the few remaining countries not yet in the orbit of US
influence – Russia, China, India, Brazil. In Mr. Tartakovsky’s view, the elites of
these countries simply don’t understand the inevitability of a conflict with the
expanding American hegemony. The only solution to that problem could be an
alliance of the countries still cherishing their sovereignty. There is no
alternative to this way for survival, since the US is prepared to use its
technology of “colored revolutions” everywhere, including the previously
friendly regimes. This technology is aimed at making the elected governments
of sovereign countries look pathetic, outdated, “unfashionable.” It uses the
marketing principles of “product placement” and discreditation of
competitors.

- Flight delayed after passenger becomes suspicious of equation
The image for the article shows part of the vector wave equations for electromagnetic radiation. It cannot be solved (in a non-trivial sense) without knowledge of the associated boundary conditions.
An Italian economist says his flight was delayed after a fellow passenger saw him working on a differential equation and alerted the cabin crew.
Guido Menzio was taken off and questioned by agents who did not identify themselves, after the woman next to him said she felt ill.
He showed them what he had been writing and the flight eventually took off – more than two hours late.
Mr Menzio told the Washington Post that the pilot seemed embarrassed.
He wrote on Facebook that the experience was “unbelievable” and made him laugh.
The University of Pennsylvania associate professor boarded the Philadelphia-Syracuse flight on Thursday on his way to Ontario, where he was due to give a lecture.
Before the flight took off, the woman sitting next to him passed a note to a member of the cabin crew.
She initially told them she was feeling unwell but then voiced her suspicions about Mr Menzio’s scribblings.
He wrote: “It’s a bit funny. It’s a bit worrisome.
“The lady just looked at me, looked at my writing of mysterious formulae, and concluded I was up to no good.
“Because of that an entire flight was delayed.”
He told Associated Press that the crew should have run additional checks before delaying take-off.
He said: “Not seeking additional information after reports of ‘suspicious activity’ is going to create a lot of problems, especially as xenophobic attitudes may be emerging.”
American Airlines, whose regional partner Air Wisconsin was operating the flight in question, said the crew followed protocol to take care of an ill passenger and then to investigate her allegations. It was established that they were not credible.
The woman was re-booked on a later flight.

- The Debate – Deepening Division (5.5.2016) “I feel no reproach, anger or resentment against anyone. No-one heard, or will ever hear, a single word from my mouth, from my tongue or my mind against our president.” Those may be the words of Turkish Prime Minister Davutoglu, but President Erdogan pushing him aside is evidence of deepening division that exist between them. Speculation abounds as to which policies became the nail in Davutoglu’s coffin. Could it be Turkey’s policy of “zero problems with neighbors” morphing into the opposite? Could it be the EU-Turkey refugee deal? Or the growing powers of president vis-à-vis those of the prime minister that have been curtailed. The list is endless, but one thing is certain: This “palace coup” as dubbed by an opposition leader, will strengthen Erdogan’s hand. That & more in this debate.
