Mercenaries from Russia make major push into Africa
August 13, 2019 by Jerry McCormick
Secret Russian forces are training in Africa, which has United States officials very concerned.

Reports reveal that a Russian oligarch has decided to fund mercenaries to train locals so the Russians can get access to local bounty of gold and diamonds in Africa.

Secret, Not Secret
The fact that Russia is training locals in warfare tactics is not exactly a secret. The training itself has been sanctioned by the United Nations.

However, what the Russians are really doing there is far from what the U.N. has approved. The Russians training the locals are not normal military, either.

They are actually mercenaries under the employ of Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian oligarch with very close ties to Vladimir Putin.

He also happens to be one of the Russians sanctioned for meddling in the 2016 presidential election in the United States.

Stealing Resources
The training missions by the Russians appear to be nothing more than a smokescreen for the real purpose.

Several journalists have allegedly been murdered by Russians in Africa for sticking their nose in where it did not belong.

Others found themselves being followed by a car of Russians they believed to have been associated with the mercenary training operation.

The reason for the secrecy seems to be quite clear. Russia wants the natural resources of the area, which are gold and diamonds.

Fearful for their lives, the camera crew documenting the situation left the area the following day, not wanting to end up like its predecessors.

This would seem to be a clear effort by modern Russia to mimic the presence of the old Soviet Union throughout the world, something that is a massive concern for the United States and its allies.

“The president used U.S. foreign policy to put a thumb on the scale for right-wing allies within Israeli domestic politics,” said South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.

By Jackson Richman, JNS

Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., and a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, denounced on Tuesday U.S. President Donald Trump’s official recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights as an “interference” in the State of Israel and its politics.

“There are very legitimate Israeli security concerns,” said the 37-year-old in response to a question from JNS following his speech at the annual Iowa State Fair on “The Des Moines Register Soapbox,” where candidates for president and other offices give an allotted 20-minute speech. “That being said, I would have, in that situation, had this be part of a negotiated discussion. The really upsetting thing about what was done with the Golan Heights was that it was an intervention in Israeli domestic politics.”

“In other words, the president used U.S. foreign policy to put a thumb on the scale for right-wing allies within Israeli domestic politics. This is totally the wrong basis for our policy. So we can talk about the future of any of the hot-button issues in the Middle East,” continued Buttigieg. “The bottom line is when I am president we will do it not based on U.S. politics and not based on Israeli politics but based on what is best for the security of the Israeli-Palestinian [future].”

Regarding whether, if elected, he would undo the president’s move, Buttigieg responded, “I’m not going to make any declarations now about the future of that status other than to say that on my watch it would not have come about as part of the intervention of Israeli [politics].”

The Republican Jewish Coalition immediately challenged the mayor for his response.

“Top tier 2020 Democrat contender apparently wants Syria to have the Golan Heights, supports a foreign policy strategy that denies reality,” tweeted the organization.

However, Buttigieg did not say nor seemed to imply that Syria should have the Golan Heights, which many say is a geographic and strategic asset for the State of Israel.

Jerusalem embassy, Iran nuclear deal, settlements
Buttigieg has pledged, if elected, to keep the U.S. embassy in Israel in Jerusalem, where it was relocated from Tel Aviv in May 2018, but re-enter the United States into the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which the Trump administration withdrew from, also in May 2018, reimposing sanctions lifted under it alongside enacting new financial penalties against the regime.

In June, along with criticizing the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran deal, Buttigieg warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against fulfilling his campaign promise to annex parts of Judea and Samaria.

“If Prime Minister Netanyahu makes good on his threat to annex West Bank (Judea and Samaria) settlements, he should know that a President Buttigieg would take steps to ensure that American taxpayers won’t help foot the bill,” he declared.

While on the soapbox, Buttigieg called for gun-control measures, and also tackled immigration and the economy.

The Iowa Caucus will be held on Feb. 3, 2020.

Russia fires ballistic missile with HUGE warhead as Putin ratchets up WW3 threat

The RS-12M Topol successfully hit its target at a range in Kazakhstan as tensions with North Korea's crackpot despot Kim Jong-un threaten to boil over.

The warhead test took place at the Kapustin Yar range in Russia’s southern Astrakhan Region.

It could be a warning shot to Kim Jong-un as the test comes just a day after his henchmen accused President Donald Trump of declaring war on North Korea.

Officials said the test data would be used to develop prospective means of breaching "enemy" missile defences for use in Russian ballistic missiles.

A spokesman said: "A combat union of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces test launched an intercontinental ballistic missile Topol RS-12M from the Kapustin Yar state central range in the Astrakhan region.

"The goal of the launch was to test advanced ballistic missile warheads."

According to the ministry, data on the Topol launch will be used to develop advanced anti-missile defense penetration aids.

The test of the infamous Satan 2 thermonuclear missile could now be held in October, according to the TASS news agency.

The regime's top US relations official left the isolated nation to visit Russia to diffuse tensions on the world stage last week.

The North Korean official met with Alexander Matsegora, Russia’s highest representative to Pyongyang, where the two discussed the state of the isolated country’s peninsula.

Both Russia and China have called for calm amid fears Kim and President Trump could drag the world into a conflict on the peninsula.

Last week Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed he was confident neither the US or Pyongyang would launch a nuclear strike.

Mr Lavrov said: "The Americans are not going to attack North Korea.

"If the situation spirals out of control, in South Korea and North Korea, and Japan, Russia, and China, hundreds of thousands of innocent people will suffer.”

North Korea accused the US of declaring war
The White House was last night forced to deny that the US had declared war on North Korea by describing claims by the hermit kingdom as "absurd".

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, press secretary for the White House, conference came after Kim’s top aide Ri Yong Ho said said the international community should “remember that the US declared war on North Korea”.

During a very rare briefing to reporters at the UN Millenium Plaza hotel in New York, North Korea's foreign minister said the secretive state has the right to shoot down American bombers even if they are not in North Korean air space.

But Ms Sanders said the US was still seeking peaceful solutions.

Alexander Shevchenko, the Russian defence ministry’s tank-automation commander, said the tank support combat vehicle, dubbed the Terminator, had successfully passed all tests.

He said the Terminator was "a vehicle of a brand-new class" that "has already attracted many countries, chiefly Israel and Syria”, according to Russian news agency TASS.

The tanks weigh 44 tonnes and are equipped with two 30mm-caliber 2A42 autocannons and a 7.62mm-caliber PKTM twin-mount machine gun.

Alexander Potapov, director general of Russian manufacturer Uralvagonzavod, said the majority of the Terminators will be delivered to the country’s military in 2018.

He said: "We intend to send the bulk of the vehicles in 2018.”

The Russian defence ministry signed a £300million contract to the deliver the Terminators at the Army 2017 forum.

The Terminator, which is said to be based on Russia’s T-72 main battle tank, primarily provides direct attack and defensive support to other tanks on the battlefield, including Russia’s T-90A tank.

The tank was specifically designed with urban warfare in mind and requires five members to operate it - a gunner, a driver-mechanic, two riflemen and a commander.

Ri said: "The whole world should clearly remember it was the US who first declared war on our country."

"Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country.”

Hassan Rouhani made the promise in an address to a parade of armed forces in the capital Tehran, state media reported.

He also said Iran would not seek permission from any country to “defend” it self.

His comments follows Mr Trump’s provocative address at the UN General Assembly - in which he verbally attacked Iran and North Korea.

Mr Rouhani said: "We will increase our military power as a deterrent.

“We will strengthen our missile capabilities ... We will not seek permission from anyone to defend our country.”

Iran's Tasnim news agency reported the country had unveiled a new ballistic missile with range of 2,000 km (1,200 miles), capable of carrying several warheads.

The report, which gave few other details, quoted the head of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace division, Amirali Hajizadeh, speaking on the sidelines of a military parade in Tehran.

During his first address to the UN Tuesday, Mr Trump branded Iran a “murderous regime” and said the 2015 nuclear deal with the country was an “embarrassment”.

He hinted the US would withdraw from the deal he described as "one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered to”.

The 2015 agreement limits Iran’s nuclear development capabilities in return for softened economic sanctions.

But Mr Trump said Washington could not abide by a deal “if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear problem”.

Mr Rouhani responded to Mr Trump’s threats, saying the US would pay a "high price" should it decide to terminate the deal.

He said: "Exiting such an agreement would carry a high cost for the United States of America, and I do not believe Americans would be willing to pay such a high cost for something that will be useless for them.

"It will be a great pity if this agreement were to be destroyed by 'rogue' newcomers to the world of politics: the world will have lost a great opportunity."

In his address, Mr Trump also described Iran as a “corrupt dictatorship” and accused the country of exporting "violence, bloodshed and chaos" throughout the Middle East.

On Thursday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif rejected any new negotiation with the US over extending the length or conditions of the 2015 deal.

Mr Zarif dismissed the Trump administration as “seriously ill-informed” about the agreement and branded Mr Trump’s UN speech as “absurd”.

It comes at a time when it is clear that tensions are at an all-time high between the hermit kingdom and US, and that an all-out war could be days away.

Kim Jong-un today threatened to test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean as part of its ongoing military programme.

The threat was in retaliation to President Trump's warning this week that the US would “totally destroy” Kim's secretive state during his first UN General Assembly speech.

This week President Trump warned if America “is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea” before supporting further sanctions against the hermit kingdom.

The raft of new sanctions include an Executive order which targets foreign banks who complete business with Kim’s regime.

He mockingly referred to North Korean despot Kim Jong-un as a “rocket man on a suicide mission for himself and his regime”.

He said: "I am now thinking hard about what response he could have expected when he allowed such eccentric words to trip off his tongue.

President Putin has indicated that the world will have to accept a nuclear armed North Korea, warning the rogue nation would rather “eat grass” than go without weapons.

And the new military build-up comes after Russia launched an inter-continental ballistic missile last night.

That action, in the south-western Russian region of Astrakhan, came after weeks of arguments over controversial military drills in Europe.

Russia has also carried out a number of maneouvres with China in recent weeks.

Military experts believe the country is trying to show off its military might amid simmering tensions over the Korean peninsula.

Chatham House claimed the drills shows Russia was practicing war scenarios involving NATO troops in the event of a conflict or land grab.

It comes as North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho on Monday accused the US President of declaring war on the secretive state.

Ri threatened that Pyongyang would shoot down US warplanes flying near the Korean Peninsula after American bombers travelled close to it last Saturday.

The North Korean minister was reacting to Mr Trump's Twitter comments that Kim and Ri "won't be around much longer" if they acted on their threats toward the United States.

Mr Trump said yesterday that any US military option would be “devastating” for the country but claimed he preferred not to use force.

He said: “If we take that option, it will be devastating, I can tell you that, devastating for North Korea.

“That's called the military option. If we have to take it, we will.”

The US says satellite imagery has also detected a number of North Korean military aircraft moving to the North's east coast.
