Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Not that I want to be defending US policemen
but in the United States the troops already have the best gear in the world, and they are not defending the borders for the survival of the nation. They're thousands of miles away on imperialistic adventures. Moreover the cops in America aren't there to legitimize a ruling party that is in power illegitimately and without the support of the majority, or even a significant minority.

Your statements regarding USA always prove how little you know and understand that country. The majority of the people in USA are so disconnected with their government that they do not even vote. To say that the USA government has the support of the majority is the exact opposite of reality. The entire governmental system of USA is illegitimate since it is entirely based on corruption and blackmail. I think some people want to believe so badly that good exists somewhere that they will blind themselves of much evil just to be able to state that here is an example of good. This demonstrates the sad shape of the world we live in today.

Yup its like that in all fascist countries including USA. The cops are governments security so they will get the best gear. The cops in USA have so much crap they don't know which to use. They pull a gun instead of a tazer..

Nice nothing like the cops getting the best equipment out there while soldiers get still get cheap soviet gear. The government's priorities are obvious. Dam shame.

Only partially, as their foreign minister let off some denialist line.

Re: Fascist USA

Germany not only recognizing the genocide but also admitting they had a hand in it was a huge blow to Turkey's credibility. Aside from that, it was great to see "I apologize to Armenians" written in a turkish hashtag trending top 5 in the world today and #1 in turkey. The people there know the truth! It's only a matter of time..

Re: Fascist USA

It is a sad truth about US politics, that US allies tend to get away with anything, just as Saddam got away with gassing Iranians and then Kurds.

However, the strains are beginning to show between the US and Turkey, as it is forced to realize that:
A) Turkey doesn't want to exclusively buy US weapons anymore, thus rendering mute the nonsense argument that Turkish arms contracts are worth more than history, human life and human rights. Turkish lobby will have a harder time bribing Congress now.
B) Links are becoming clearer every day over how Turkey either does nothing over ISIS, or actively helps them.
C) Turkey has lost a lot of ties with Israel, and its lobby groups are less and less inclined to support the Turkish line over the genocide.
D) The Pope has openly come out and declared there was an Armenian Genocide, and the Turkish government retaliated by calling the leader of the Catholic Church 'evil', in effect offending billions of Christians. Turkey can expect more vocal opposition from Republicans, who already see Turkey as turning a blind eye to Islamic terrorism and persecution of Christians.
E) As usual, more and more countries recognize the genocide, leaving Turkey more isolated in it's denial.

U.S. STATE DEPT. CONDEMNS GENOCIDE, YET FAILS TO PRONOUNCE THE TERM

April 15, 2015 - 13:04 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - The U.S. Department of State condemned the mass
killing of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in early 20th century, yet
failing once again to recognize them as genocide.

"The President and other senior Administration officials have
repeatedly acknowledged as historical fact and mourned the fact that
1.5 million Armenians were massacred or marched to their deaths in the
final days of the Ottoman Empire, and stated that a full, frank, and
just acknowledgement of the facts is in all our interests, including
Turkey's, Armenia's and America's," the acting spokesperson, Marie
Harf, said at the daily press briefing on Tuesday, April 14, when
asked to comment on Pope Francis's statement characterizing the
massacres as the first genocide of the 20th century.

She further refused to comment on Ankara's recalling the ambassador to
the Vatican following the Pope's remarks or Barack Obama's 2008
campaign promise to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

Here is a wonderful example of the kind of "stability" that follows American interventions...

Re: Fascist USA

Interesting read.

Better than any spy story.


Operation Socialist
The Inside Story of How British Spies Hacked Belgium’s Largest Telco

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/document/2014/12/13/gchq-belgacom-connections/

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/12/13/belgacom-hack-gchq-inside-story/

When the incoming emails stopped arriving, it seemed innocuous at first. But it would eventually become clear that this was no routine technical problem. Inside a row of gray office buildings in Brussels, a major hacking attack was in progress. And the perpetrators were British government spies.

It was in the summer of 2012 that the anomalies were initially detected by employees at Belgium’s largest telecommunications provider, Belgacom. But it wasn’t until a year later, in June 2013, that the company’s security experts were able to figure out what was going on. The computer systems of Belgacom had been infected with a highly sophisticated malware, and it was disguising itself as legitimate Microsoft software while quietly stealing data.

Last year, documents from National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden confirmed that British surveillance agency Government Communications Headquarters was behind the attack, codenamed Operation Socialist. And in November, The Intercept revealed that the malware found on Belgacom’s systems was one of the most advanced spy tools ever identified by security researchers, who named it “Regin.”

The full story about GCHQ’s infiltration of Belgacom, however, has never been told. Key details about the attack have remained shrouded in mystery—and the scope of the attack unclear.

Now, in partnership with Dutch and Belgian newspapers NRC Handelsblad and De Standaard, The Intercept has pieced together the first full reconstruction of events that took place before, during, and after the secret GCHQ hacking operation.

Based on new documents from the Snowden archive and interviews with sources familiar with the malware investigation at Belgacom, The Intercept and its partners have established that the attack on Belgacom was more aggressive and far-reaching than previously thought. It occurred in stages between 2010 and 2011, each time penetrating deeper into Belgacom’s systems, eventually compromising the very core of the company’s networks.

“a breathtaking example of the state-sponsored hacking problem.”

Snowden told The Intercept that the latest revelations amounted to unprecedented “smoking-gun attribution for a governmental cyber attack against critical infrastructure.”
