14 February 2020 — InfoRos
The Russian Defense Ministry has pulled back the curtain on the rescue of an Iranian airliner in the Syrian airspace
Yuri Veselov, military observer with the Inforos news agency
Details of a possible tragic incident were released due to an accusation by Israel of the Russian Khmeimim air base’s command of the use of the S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system against Israeli air targets. As a result, an Israeli UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was destroyed and an F-16 fighter was damaged.

Time Warp UK By Craig Murray
14 February 2020 — Craig Murray
The resignation of Savid Javid yesterday as Chancellor without even presenting a budget mirrors the resignation of Lord Randolph Churchill, Winston’s father – and in so doing says something extraordinary about lack of social progress in the UK in the intervening 130 years.

The virus that broke the camel’s back
14 February 2020 — theplanningmotivedotcom
The economic difference between the current coronavirus and SARS (end of 2002) is this. In 2002 China was on the ascendancy whereas today the opposite is happening, China is in the descendancy.

14 February 2020 — The Indian Punchline
Syrian forces took control of M5 highway connecting economic hub of Aleppo to Damascus and other key population centres to Jordanian border, February 12, 2020.
The de-escalation talks between Moscow and Ankara over the Russian-backed offensive by the Syrian government forces in the northwestern province of Idlib didn’t help defuse tensions.
On the contrary, Turkish-Syrian tensions cascaded and an unraveling of the Russian-Turkish entente may ensue.

DeSmog UK Weekly: *Bumper Cabinet Reshuffle Edition*
14 February 2020 — DesSmogUK
Who is really in charge of the UK’s government? Is it a) the elected MPs that won a landslide victory for the Conservative Party in December last year? Or b) the special advisors that always walk a respectful 5 paces behind them holding a device that looks suspiciously marionette-like?
After Boris Johnson’s first cabinet reshuffle as Prime Mininster, it looks possible it could be the latter.
Catastrophe is upon us – the grim view from Southern Africa
28 January 2020 — Global Ecosocialist Network
Rehad Desai
The word catastrophe is being used more and more by institutions reporting on the effects of extreme weather in the two regions of Africa, Southern and South Eastern Africa, and of late Australia. The word means a number of things: tragic; fiasco; utter failure; sudden and violent change in a feature of the Earth. All are completely fitting for the situation we now face.
