  HEROES IN THEIR LAND Putin could not imagine that the Ukrainians, despite not having the overwhelming Russ ian military power, would face the invading military with rage and determination, causing such a high number of casualties that the dictator was surprised since he had not foreseen it. This is another lesson in the convulsive history of the peoples of Eastern Europe, and one of the most significant successes of the Ukrainians has been the neutralization of an armored column of the Russian special forces made up of Chechens. In that attack, one of his generals, Magomed Tushaev, who was in charge of that unit, was killed. Within this framework, we must place the speed with which people prepare Molotov cocktails with which to attack the armored aggressors. There is no Ukrainian who does not sign up to fight for his homeland. Examples abound; one of the last has been that of a young “Miss Ukraine”, Anastasia Lenna, joining the army and proudly wearing a machine gun. Putin's appe...

                                         THE WORLD AGAINST PUTIN Numerous demonstrations against the Russian dictator, Putin, have been taking place these days. The civilized world unequivocally condemns the aggression committed by the Russian tyrant against Ukraine.

                               A PARANOID DICTATOR The world is helplessly witnessing the destruction of Ukraine ordered by the dictator Putin. Powerless because the West has simply said that it will only defend NATO territory. It matters little that the Russian Hitler makes a river of blood flow from the Ukrainian people. Sanctions, as important as they are, will only take effect in an uncertain future. Meanwhile, Putin copies the case of Hitler's invasion of Poland, an invasion in which Stalin participated. Hitler and Stalin are reincarnated in a miserable and bullying Putin who even threatens nuclear power if others “interferes with him”. Yesterday, President Macron, who agreed to speak with the dictator, warned him that NATO also has nuclear power, not to extend threats and that the blood that stains his hands will not disappear immediately. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian people, who deep down have always unde...

                                    THE "PEACEMAKER" The man who plays the little dictator, former KGB mobster Vladimir Putin, has just shown us the respect he has for international order and harmony between nations, trampling on the most basic rights of Ukrainians. His obvious goal is to become the owner of the country and place his straw men in Kiev. In the first months of the crisis, the European left told us that Putin would not become another Stalin, that the danger lay in NATO's action aimed at accepting the entry of the Eastern European country into the Alliance. But in reality his ambitions were more than anticipated by the left, which now recognizes an irresponsible dictator, as the French politician, Jean Luc Melenchon, a friend of Cuba and even today of Putin, has done. The French communist party itself, although it has become a specter of what it was, has also been associated with the p...

                                       THE GENDARME PUTIN It is perfectly natural for states to defend their borders, understanding as such a crucial element of their own security, but in the case of Russia, since the distant times of the Tsar, followed by the Soviet Union and today's Russia, a strategy has been maintained invariable: expand its borders incorporating strips of neighboring territories, and even entire countries when they considered that a space for growth was necessary, a deformed formula of the German hinterland. Putin's decision must be seen in that context. In his obsession with not being “encircled” by NATO, he has taken the first step by invading the Ukrainian Donbass and creating the republics of Donet z and Lugansk. President Biden is absolutely right in pointing out that this would be the first step in invading the rest of Ukraine and planting a regime in his pay i...

                             ISRAEL'S APARTHEID AGAINST PALESTINIAN In May 2021, Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah, a neighbourhood in occupied East Jerusalem, began protesting against Israel’s plan to forcibly evict them from their homes to make way for Jewish settlers. Many of the families are refugees, who settled in Sheikh Jarrah after being forcibly displaced around the time of Israel’s establishment as a state in 1948.  Since Israel occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank in 1967, Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah have been continuously targeted by Israeli authorities, who use discriminatory laws to systematically dispossess Palestinians of their land and homes for the benefit of Jewish Israelis.   In response to the demonstrations in Sheikh Jarrah, thousands of Palestinians across Israeland the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) held their own protests in support of the fa...

                                               KUWAIT M ARKS THE PATH Kuwait has banned the showing in the country of the film "Dead on the Nile" (by the famous British author Agatha Christie) due to the presence of the Israeli artist Gal Gadot. Gadot was characterized in 2014 by his massive support for the Jewish army during the bloody repression of the Palestinian people in the course of a crackdown in the Gaza Strip. Some 2,251 Palestinians, most of them civilians, were killed in shelling by the Israeli armed forces (Tsahal). Kuwait firmly defends the Palestinian people and refuses to imitate the Arab countries that have normalized their relations with Israel (the Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco). The Palestinian leadership considers that these countries have betrayed the Arab cause. Kuwait, therefore, marks the path that the Arab countries must follow towards ...
