Russia is so incompetent they couldn’t even defeat just one country in NATO, Poland

How do you know this? What are the winning lottery numbers for tomorrow?

Remember when that Polish minister knelt at the Bandera monument?

Goodbye any fear Europe had of Russia. They can’t defeat Poland much less all of NATO.

I think you'll find the war is in Ukraine, not Poland. Easy mistake to make for an American.

the gathering of BRICS and other countries this week spotlights a growing convergence of nations who hope to see a shift in the global balance of power and – in the case of some, like Moscow, Beijing and Tehran – directly counter the United States-led West.

Tacit admission the two are one and the same. To shift the global balance of power the United States-led West must be countered.

But despite Russia’s sweeping rhetoric, the leaders meeting in Kazan have a wide range of viewpoints and interests – a reality of BRICS that observers say limits their ability to send a unified message – especially the kind Putin may desire

Democracy? That's actually a bad thing, sweetie.

UK police raid home, seize devices of EI's Asa Winstanley (electronicintifada.net)
 

British counterterrorism police on Thursday raided the home and seized several electronic devices belonging to The Electronic Intifada’s associate editor Asa Winstanley.

Approximately 10 officers arrived at Winstanley’s North London home before 6 am and served the journalist with warrants and other papers authorizing them to search his house and vehicle for devices and documents.

A letter addressed to Winstanley from the “Counter Terrorism Command” of the Metropolitan Police Service indicates that the authorities are “aware of your profession” as a journalist but that “notwithstanding, police are investigating possible offenses” under sections 1 and 2 of the Terrorism Act (2006). These provisions set out the purported offense of “encouragement of terrorism.”

An officer conducting Thursday’s raid informed Winstanley that the investigation was connected with the journalist’s social media posts. Attempts to reach the Metropolitan Police Service for comment for this story have been unsuccessful.

Although his devices were seized, Winstanley was not arrested and has not been charged with any offense.
