German minister reveals why Guaido wasn’t arrested upon returning to Venezuela
The presence of foreign diplomats, including German Ambassador Daniel Kriener, at Caracas Airport on Monday probably “contributed” to Guaido’s not being arrested by Venezuelan authorities, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has said. “There was information that [Guaido] was meant to be arrested there, and I think the presence of various ambassadors contributed to helping prevent […] Source: AMN - Al-Masdar News | المصدر نيوز - The Arab Source

At the end of 2018, I wrote this: *All year, at this blog, I've kept on saying how Radio 4 is getting harder-and-harder to listen to for people outside the BBC's way of thinking, because its schedules are losing any variety they used to have and becoming increasingly much-of-a-muchness: a sludge of well-meaning, serious, worthy, politically-correct, socially-liberal, soggy-left, preachy programmes, many of which could have come straight out of the *Guardian*'s features pages, leavened by identikit left-wing comedy shows and programmes about Brexit presented hosted by Remainers.* ... more »
How a Toilet Sunk a Deadly Nazi Submarine
*War Is Boring* *Security, Europe* [image: Clemens Vasters from Viersen, Germany [CC BY 2.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)]] Yes, this happened. By World War II standards, the German Type VIIC submarine was an advanced hunter of the seas. But one unlucky vessel of its class, the U-1206, sank during its maiden combat voyage after its captain used its high-tech toilet improperly. Yes, this really happened, and was an unexpected and tragic consequence of a real naval engineering problem. For years. crafty German engineers had been busy developing what they thought ... more »

When one thinks of the U.S. Army, one generally doesn’t think of squadrons of jets flying around the battlefield.

Assad's Tehran Visit Signals Iran's Victory in Syria

President Assad had only travelled outside of Syria on two other occasions during the war - both times to Russia.

The square in Kiev the protests unfolded in were filled with the flags of ultra-right party, Svoboda as well as the red and black banners of the Neo-Nazi Right Sector movement. The Western media never scrutinized who these political parties and militias were leading the protests and often times the violence that eventually overthrew the elected Ukrainian government in 2014.
