Published on May 18, 2013 Turkish police have fired gas at protesters in a town near the Syrian border - which was the scene of a deadly double car bombing a week ago. The unrest follows similar clashes in Istanbul and Ankara. Demonstrators are angry over Turkey's support for the Syrian rebels, which they say is putting Turks in the firing line.

NATO Expansion And Russia: You're Not Paranoid If They Really Are Out To Get You

One of the things that I find most mystifying about Western coverage of Russia is the tendency to treat obvious facts as wild-eyed conspiracy theories. So you have people saying "Putin and his lot are crazy, they think we're trying to start a color revolution! Where on earth did they get that idea?" Meanwhile, in the plain light of day, the Obama administration makes a push to use tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to support various anti-regime civil society groups. The, unstated, but nonetheless obvious, goal of using that money is to change Russia's government. Indeed when someone wonders out loud "where could the Russians have possibly gotten such a crazy idea?" nine times out of ten the answer is "the newspaper." ...

The Russian Union of Afghan War Veterans that unites many generals and officers who took part in the pullout of the Soviet limited contingent from Afghanistan are ready to respond to requests from Nato colleagues and share their materials , Union leader Frants Klintsevich told Interfax-AVN on Thursday. “I have learned about the Nato request from the media, but I do not rule out it may be made. If that is necessary, my comrades-in-arms and I are ready to share with North Atlantic Alliance partners our analysis and recollections of the final stage of the Soviet forces on the Afghan land in 1989,” said Klintsevich, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee. The media said Nato had asked the Russian military to share materials regarding the Soviet pullout from Afghanistan in 1989 before withdrawing the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) due in 2014. The expert said there was a big difference between the pullout of the 40th army of the Soviet Armed Forces from Afghanistan and the pending withdrawal of the international coalition forces. “More than 20 years ago our limited contingent was leaving Afghanistan in strict compliance with the Geneva accords. In spite of that, the Untied States and Pakistan were mounting assistance to the insurgents and we were leaving under the permanent threat of attacks on our columns and under fire. I remember that military operation well because our 345th separate airborne regiment ...

Two years after the failed Nato intervention, Libyan society is in chaos. Over 50,000 were killed in a mission that was meant to protect civilians, and there are reportedly more than 1,700 competing militias marauding the streets. One outcome of this chaos was the attack on U.S. mission in Benghazi which led to the death of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens on September 11, 2012. There have been Congressional hearings on this attack, and on May 8, U.S. Representative Darrell Issa, the California Republican who heads the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, called another inquiry into the September 11, 2012 event.

Swedes sweeten on NATO

Support in Sweden for joining Nato has jumped : Thirty-two percent of survey respondents stated that they were in favour of Sweden joining Nato. Two years ago, that number was 23 percent. The proportion of Swedes who firmly want to stay out of Nato has gone down in the same period. The new poll showed that two in five Swedes say no to joining, down from 2011 when half of Swedes had the same attitude. "It looks like Nato proponents have advanced their positions," political scientist Ulf Bjereld told SvD. He said that debate in recent months about Sweden's military capacity had likely stirred Swedes' thoughts about Nato. The Armed Forces' ability to defend Sweden if it came under attack has been under scrutiny since Supreme Commander Sverker Göransson in January said Sweden could hold out for maximum one week. As this piece makes clear, Sweden has been a more active Nato partner than several current members: Since 2006, Sweden has had civilian and military professionals on the ground in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. It has played a leadership role in a Provincial Reconstruction Team in Mazir-e-Sharif and has 400 people on the ground helping to advance political and economic stability in the surrounding region. As it works on the transition to Afghan-led teams, Sweden will work with Nato Allies Norway and Latvia, as well as with Nato partner Finland. In doing so, Sweden not only advances democrat ...
