The US-led Coalition to defeat the Daesh terrorist group (banned in Russia) has intentionally destroyed 90 percent of Syria's town of Raqqa, Syrian permanent representative to the United Nations Bashar Jaafari told the UN Security Council on Wednesday.

"This coalition has deliberately destroyed 90 percent of the city of Raqqa," Jaafari said. "This coalition has not felt to uphold its commitment to neutralize the mines left behind by Daesh."

The statement follows the February 12 press release by the advocacy group Human Rights Watch, saying that landmines planted by the Daesh terrorist group in the Syrian city of Raqqa have killed or wounded hundreds of civilians, including more than 150 children.

Fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)

Turkey has asked Washington to end its support for Kurdish fighters and remove them from the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). It comes amid growing tensions between the NATO allies.

Speaking after a NATO defense ministers' meeting in Brussels on Thursday, Turkish Defense Minister Nurettin Canikli said he had told his US counterpart, Jim Mattis, that Washington's support for the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia has helped Kurdish rebels in Turkey "grow and strengthen," posing an increasingly "existential" threat to Turkey.

Canikli said he presented documents to Mattis which prove "organic"links between the YPG and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), recognized as terrorist by the US, EU and Turkey. He also said that he disputed Mattis' description of the SDF as being dominated by Arabs, saying the force is completely controlled by the YPG.

Speaking at a UN Security Council (UNSC) meeting, Bashar al-Jaafari, Syria's permanent UN envoy, has pointed out that the future of his country should only be resolved by Syrian people, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).

Al-Jaafari hit out at the US presence in Syria, which he said violates UNSC Resolution No. 2254 on the preservation of his country's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, in line with the UN Charter.

The doublethink of baseless accusations of 'Russian interference' while Soros openly meddles in British democracy

You could hardly make this up. American-Hungarian billionaire George Soros is openly funneling money into overturning the Brexit referendum result.

He's even declaring the aim to crash the British government and trigger a new referendum that he hopes will result in a new vote for Britain to remain part of the European Union. That's tantamount to regime change.

Yet somehow, this foreign entity is not accused of "meddling" in British democracy. Oh, that accusation is solely reserved for Russia which has been wildly vilified for trying to subvert British, European and American elections - on the basis of no evidence whatsoever.

Recall British premier Theresa May's shrill speech delivered at a City of London banquet at the end of last year in which she provocatively asserted that Russia was "sowing division" and eroding Britain's democracy.

Gaslighting the public: Mainstream propagandist calls skepticism of Syria narrative 'dangerous inversion of reality'

"This is dangerous, Orwellian inversion of reality. This is not the debate on Iraq's WMD, this is the debate on whether or not Sandy Hook victims were really crisis actors, or if Israelis were told not to go to work at the World Trade Center on 9/11. This is what Russia wants, and this is what Assad wants, as it lets the perpetrators escape justice, and leaves the victims to rot."

So concludes the Newsweek debut of neoconservative propagandist Eliot Higgins, who is a Nonresident Senior Fellow with the Atlantic Council, an extremely shady neocon think tank with ties to Ukrainian oligarchs, George Soros, and the military industrial complex, and fingerprints all over the foundational elements of the establishment Russia narrative. He is best known for his work with the war propaganda firm Bellingcat, which once ran an article explaining why the notorious Bana Alabed psyop is perfectly legitimate and trustworthy.

"This is dangerous, Orwellian inversion of reality. This is not the debate on Iraq's WMD," this clearly malignant war propagandist writes of the increasing public skepticism of what we're being told to believe about Syria.

Italian backlash: Eurosceptic candidate Salvini promises to deport 500k illegal immigrants, declares Islam 'extremely dangerous'

Matteo Salvini, leader of the Lega party. Lega is the most Euroskeptic party which openly talks about leaving the common currency and has promised fierce opposition against the Bruxelles “Tyrants”.

Salvini is already thinking about the future after the possible victory of the right-wing coalition in March. Salvini stated:

"In the first year of the Salvini government, the number is zero. We must digest an overdue amount of illegal immigrants, around half a million. The first option is to close our borders, from the Alps to Sicily. No more, you will not pass, stop. Nowadays Islam is danger"

Lega is one of the 3 parties in the right-wing coalition, whichever between Lega or Berlusconi's party (Forza Italia) will get the majority of votes in the coalition will decide the shape of the new government. Lega is not just about immigration, but also the most Euro-Skeptic party, a position strengthened after the latest introductions of 2 candidates: economists and university professors Claudio Borghi and Alberto Bagnai.

Lega's leader has lately strengthened his positions on certain topics like the Islamization of Europe and he is the only politician in Italy with the guts to condemn the whole ideology and call it for what it is, a danger and threat to Europe's people and culture. In the recent days, Salvini has praised American president Donald Trump and vowed to apply similar protectionist measures to favorite Italian production and industries while weakening companies who chose to relocate their factories.

German statesman Willy Wimmer: 'Russia is the only country in Syria acting under international law'

The UN is not free in its opinion; it is playing a part in the game on the side of the US, says Willy Wimmer, former State Secretary of the German Christian Democratic Party.

Some 80 aid and humanitarian organizations, including Human Rights Watch, claim Russia - the only country operating militarily in Syria legally - is no longer "fit" to hold its position in the body.

The move, prompted by Russia's anti-terror actions in Syria - actions that have attracted the ire of some Western countries - appear to be yet another effort on the part of particular countries to denigrate Russia.

Russia's presidential spokesman says the condemnation should be directed at extremists in Syria instead.

A litany of scandals: Inside the Netanyahu corruption probe & why he could be indicted

Israeli police have recommended that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be indicted over allegations of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, though it's not the first time the embattled PM has faced scrutiny.

Netanyahu was quick to distance himself from the allegations, dismissing his own police force's claims on Tuesday as being "like Swiss cheese," saying that the truth would eventually surface and he'd be exonerated. RT takes a look back the scandals surrounding the under-fire PM, and other allegations leveled against his wife and son.

Washington Post does shoddy damage control for Russiagate

An editorial in the February 2nd Washington Post headlines "The Nunes memo shows the opposite of what Trump hoped it would prove", and its first argument is that "the memo reveals that there were preexisting [i.e., prior to the FBI's investigation into the DNC's infamous Steele dossier, which even Steele himself acknowledged was probably 10% to 30% false] grounds to investigate, based on information about a different Trump associate. So the president cannot construe this memo as offering evidence that the Russia probe began corruptly."

However, the Nunes Memo isn't alleging "that the Russia probe began corruptly." It is instead arguing that when the FBI's follow-on investigation reached the point where they would need permission from the FISA (or "FISC") court in order to obtain evidence that might possibly implicate US President Trump in impeachable offenses, the FBI resorted to an ilegal tactic to win the court's okay: hiding crucial material information from the FISA court. That's the case the Nunes Memo is actually summarizing.

Criminal conspiracy: How bad will things get for Killary and Obama?

Have you heard the latest nursery rhyme? "Hillary and Obama went up the hill. They both came down in handcuffs."

Don't laugh. It's not a joke. It's very real.

The noose tightened this week upon the entire FBI leadership over the scandal to destroy candidate Trump and then, President Trump. But it's no longer just the FBI leadership facing prison time for conspiracy and obstruction of justice. It's no longer just Hillary and her pals at the DNC and the Clinton Foundation facing prison time.

The real question now is what did Obama know and when did he know it.
