According to the Russian Defense Ministry , any airstrike or missile hitting targets in territory controlled by the Syrian government would put Russian personnel in danger . If the Obama administration is insane enough to start ordering airstrikes against Syrian positions , let us hope and pray that the Russians are willing to back down and show restraint . Because if Russian S-300 and S-400 air defense systems start shooting life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents down U.S. military aircraft , that could set off a chain of events that may be unstoppable . And right now the Russians are taking the threat of war with the U.S. very seriously . For example , the Kremlin has ordered all top officials to return to Russia as soon as possible …

Berlin ( AFP ) - Germany 's parliament votes Thursday on a resolution that brands the massacre of Armenians by Ottoman forces as genocide , drawing a clear warning from Turkey 's president that it would harm ties . Put forward by the ruling left - right coalition and the opposition Greens , the resolution entitled " Remembrance and commemoration of the genocide of Armenians and other Christian minorities in 1915 and 1916 " also carries the contested word throughout the text . The vote comes just over a year after President Joachim Gauck became Germany 's highest ranking official to describe the massacre life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents as a " genocide " , sparking a fierce response from Turkey . Its timing is also awkward , as Germany and the European Union need Ankara to help stem a migrant influx even as tensions are rising between both sides over a string of issues , including human rights . In a strong call against the Bundestag move , Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said : " If ( Germany ) falls into such a game , that would harm our future ties -- the diplomatic , economic , political , commercial and military ties between the two countries .

-- This is happening against the backdrop of rising public support for new laws : 61 percent of Americans now support stricter gun controls in the U.S. , according to a new NBC / SurveyMonkey poll , while 38 percent remain opposed . Six in 10 said they support a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons , while 38 percent are opposed . -- The Post ’s Fact Checker gives Sen. Chris Murphy ( D - Conn . ) three Pinocchios for his claim that states with “ reasonable ” firearm limitations have less gun crimes and homicides : The data Murphy was referring to ( a 2013 National Journal chart ) calculates the number of gun - related deaths by including all gun deaths , including homicides life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents , suicides , accidental gun deaths and legal intervention involving firearms , Glenn Kessler explains . “ We removed suicides from the totals and reran the numbers – and in some cases , it made a huge difference .

Since then , Honduras ’s human rights situation has worsened , driving thousands of children to flee northward seeking safety and leaving environmental and political activists at the mercy of death squads . Also , in 2009 , Clinton joined with Bush - holdover Defense Secretary Robert Gates and neocon - favorite Gen. David Petraeus in pushing Obama into a major escalation of the Afghan War , a counter - insurgency “ surge ” that sent another 1,000 American troops to their deaths – and many more Afghans – but has since been abandoned as a failure . In 2011 , Clinton joined with “ liberal interventionists ” in again pushing Obama into a “ regime change ” war in Libya that led to the overthrow and torture - murder life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents of Muammar Gaddafi – which she gleefully welcomed with the quip , “ We came , we saw , he died ” – but has since turned the once relatively prosperous North African country into a failed state with the Islamic State gaining another foothold . Both as Secretary of State and since her departure in 2013 , Clinton has pressed to escalate the “ regime change ” war in Syria , seeking a “ no - fly zone ” that would require the U.S. military to destroy the Syrian government ’s air force and air defenses , apparently without regard to the risk that the U.S. intervention could pave the way for Al Qaeda ’s Nusra Front and/or the Islamic State to march into Damascus . Though the Syrian “ regime change ” strategy that Clinton has advocated has failed to oust President Bashar al - Assad , it has transformed another reasonably functional Mideast state into a bloody killing field and driven millions of refugees into what is now a destabilized Europe .

In a 2014 interview , as is well known , he called the group a “ jayvee team . ” More recently , he has come up with a new analogy . ISIS , the president has explained to his advisers , is like the Joker in the Batman movie The Dark Knight . When the Joker started decapitating life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents American citizens , the president abandoned his policy of non - intervention in Syria . But his low - intensity air campaign against ISIS has conspicuously failed to destroy the organization . “ One of the top goals of the American national - security apparatus in Obama ’s last year , ” we learn , is to assassinate the “ so - called caliph of the Islamic State , Abu Bakr al - Baghdadi . ” Well , the strategy worked with bin Laden , right ?

Kerry tells us that Isis is “ genocidal by self - proclamation , by ideology and by actions … ” as if the destruction of the Armenian people in 1915 was not – and is perfectly happy to label the dark forces of the ‘ Islamic Caliphate’ as genocidal themselves – which they clearly are . But it raises another frightful question . Since we know that Isis sells Syrian and Iraqi oil to the Turks – Russian bomber pilots have seen miles of Isis oil convoys running to the horizon towards Turkey – and since Turkish journalists have been imprisoned for reporting on secret Turkish arms transfers to Islamists in Syria – the Americans are , in effect , blaming Isis for the genocide life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents of a hundred thousand or more human beings while being too frightened to label the Armenian massacres of a million and a half souls as genocide lest it offend Isis’ sinister chums in Turkey . It ’s not difficult to accuse the bad guys of genocide – Colin Powell had no problem over Darfur in 2004 – but should n’t we stand up to the real bullies who prevent us honouring the memory of those million and a half Christians who were treated just as Isis treats the Yazidis and Christians and Shia today : the Turkish government and the Turkish army and the Turkish institutes of state ? And all this at a time when an increasing number of brave Turks are themselves acknowledging the Turkish genocide of 1915 ?

The interwar fascist movements ( think Hitler and Mussolini ) led to dictatorships that murdered millions of people . Historical analogies , always dangerous , wither and collapse in the face of such enormity . And the thing about a word like fascism — not unlike genocide life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents or rape or cancer — is that , once it is spoken , it can not be allowed to proceed . Fascism is n’t just a word : it ’s an alarm , a blaring klaxon that can not be ignored . Historian Robert Paxton , an expert on fascism , recently told Slate , “ I ’m very , very reluctant to use the word fascism loosely , because it ’s almost the most powerful epithet you can use .

But that would require action by the U.N. Security Council . China and Russia , which are veto - wielding members of the council , oppose such a move .

In fact , according to one study in International Studies Quarterly , Washington and Moscow intervened in a third country ’s elections 117 times between 1946 and 2000 . And yet it ’s Russia that is being portrayed as the singular bad guy here , Russia that is being turned into the existential threat to the civilised world . As The Economist put it , ‘ four years ago Mitt Romney , then a Republican candidate , said that Russia was America ’s “ number - one geopolitical foe ” ... With Russia hacking the American election , presiding over mass slaughter life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents in Syria , annexing Crimea and talking casually about using nuclear weapons , Romney ’s view has become conventional wisdom . ’ Indeed . As the Guardian concluded , the big ‘ strategic , security and diplomatic problem ’ of our age is : ‘ what to do about Russia ? ’ Russia is being conjured up in the Western political imagination as the enemy , the threat that must be dealt with , the military power that must be shot down , as Tory MP Andrew Mitchell sees it .

Wolfowitz : It reminds me of Mark Twain , who said : If a cat sits on a hot stove once , it will never sit on a cold one either . I think Obama sees everything through one lens . Doing nothing in the face of the slaughter life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents in Syria is not only shameful , it is unrealistic . This approach leaves Syria as a broken country and a breeding ground for extremists for decades . Instead of focusing on Iraq in 2003 , Obama should have thought more about what happened there in 1991 .

“ The president recognized during the course of the Arab Spring that the Middle East was consuming us , ” John Brennan , who served in Obama ’s first term as his chief counterterrorism adviser , told me recently . But what sealed Obama ’s fatalistic view was the failure of his administration ’s intervention in Libya , in 2011 . That intervention was meant to prevent the country ’s then - dictator , Muammar Qaddafi , from slaughtering life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents the people of Benghazi , as he was threatening to do . Obama did not want to join the fight ; he was counseled by Joe Biden and his first - term secretary of defense Robert Gates , among others , to steer clear . But a strong faction within the national - security team — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice , who was then the ambassador to the United Nations , along with Samantha Power , Ben Rhodes , and Antony Blinken , who was then Biden ’s national - security adviser — lobbied hard to protect Benghazi , and prevailed .

Fiat Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne said the company would conduct a " thorough investigation " of Yelchin 's accident . " It is premature to speculate on its cause at this time , " he added .

In Trump ’s demonology , the press ranks right up with Barack Obama , Hillary Clinton , the leaders of the Republican Party , illegal immigrants , Muslim migrants and multi - national corporations . And yet , somehow , he fails to take precautions against the most obvious pitfalls . His campaign showed new verve with its response on Tuesday , moving swiftly and of one voice to knock down the false narrative that Trump was calling for Clinton to be assassinated life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents . But the key in politics , as you know , is not what you say , but what you do n’t say . On a day when reporters would have been forced to cover a twin bill of misery for Clinton -- scuzzy sounding emails between the State Department and her family foundation and the endorsement from the father of the perpetrator of the worst terror attack since 9/11 -- reporters were let off the hook and allowed to pick through a fresh bushel of Trump gaffes .

Mr. Comey , affirming a month ago to Congress , said that “ we have no premise to close she deceived the F.B.I. “ we have no basis to conclude she lied to the F.B.I. ” But he additionally said he could n’t say whether Mrs. Clinton ’s numerous open proclamations on the issue were honest . Mr. Trump , in a composed proclamation intended to react specifically to the president ’s comments , called Mrs. Clinton “ unfit to serve in any government office . ” He also accused Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton of allowing Americans to be slaughtered life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents in Benghazi , Libya ; letting veterans die waiting for medical care ; and releasing immigrants into the United States to kill innocent people . Mr. Trump ’s statement said . “ We need change now .

Whether U.S. forces were guilty of war crimes remains a subject of dispute . Gen. Leonard Wood , the U.S. commander , claimed that the Moros fanatically resisted his troops , that even women fought , and that children were used as human shields . Even if U.S. troops massacred the Moros , it is pretty rich for Duterte to demand an apology for an extra - judicial killing life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents carried out more than a century ago while he is carrying out a rampage of extra - judicial killings of his own . Duterte also refuses to acknowledge that , by the standards of the day , American colonial rule was fairly benign . Manual Quezon , who had fought against the Americans before becoming president of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935 , famously complained of the difficulty of rousing a nationalist revolt against U.S. rule : “ Damn the Americans !

Presidential candidate Donald Trump said Chicago 's crime problem could be solved by police " being very much tougher " than they are now , adding that during a Chicago visit he met with " very top police " and was told the problem could be stopped in a week with tough tactics .

We must keep in mind that food is a human right ( although the United States has repeatedly denied this .

In 1999 a Cuban lawsuit demanded $ 181.1 billion in US compensation for death and injury suffered by Cuban citizens in four decades “ war ” by Washington against Cuba .

In 2011 , a major study by University of California , Berkeley , political scientist M. Steven Fish presented cross - national statistical data showing that between 1994 and 2007 , annual homicide rates in the Muslim world averaged just 2.4 per 100,000 of the population . That was approximately a third of the rate for the non - Muslim world and less than the average rate in Europe . It is also approximately half the homicide life.die.deathcausedbyviolentevents rate in the United States . In comparing individual countries , the difference is even greater . The latest homicide statistics from the U.N. ’s Office on Drugs and Crime reveal that for every murder perpetrated in Indonesia , the world ’s most populous Muslim state , seven people are murdered in the United States .
