Trump to approve Iran nuclear deal for last time
US President Donald Trump says he is extending sanctions relief for Iran one last

The White House wants EU signatories to agree permanent restrictions on Iran's
uranium enrichment. Under the current deal they are set to expire in 2025.
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said it was a "desperate attempt" to

'Ukraine on Fire': How US, Not Russia, Destroyed Ukraine - Oliver Stone Documentary Finally Available (VIDEO)
Sott.net
Fri, 12 Jan 2018 12:00 UTC
Oliver Stone's seminal documentary Ukraine on Fire has finally been made available to watch in the West.
Ukraine, the 'borderlands' between Russia and 'civilized' Europe is on fire. For centuries, it has been at the center of a tug-of-war between powers seeking to control its rich lands and Russia's access to the Mediterranean.
The Maidan Massacre in early 2014 triggered a bloody uprising that ousted president Viktor Yanukovych, spurred Crimeans to secede and join Russia, and sparked a civil war in Eastern Ukraine.
Russia was portrayed by Western media as the perpetrator, and has been sanctioned and widely condemned as such. But was Russia responsible for what happened?
Ukraine on Fire provides a historical perspective for the deep divisions in the region which led to the 2004 Orange Revolution, the 2014 uprisings, and the violent overthrow of democratically-elected Yanukovych.
Covered by Western media as a 'popular revolution', it was in fact a coup d'état scripted and staged by ultra-nationalist groups and the US State Department.
Investigative journalist Robert Parry reveals how US-funded political NGOs and media companies have emerged since the 1980s, replacing the CIA in promoting America's geopolitical agenda abroad.
Executive producer Oliver Stone gained unprecedented access to the inside story through his on-camera interviews with former President Viktor Yanukovych and Minister of Internal Affairs Vitaliy Zakharchenko, who explain how the US Ambassador and factions in Washington actively plotted for regime change.
And, in his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Stone solicits Putin's take on the significance of Crimea, NATO and the US's history of interference in elections and regime change in the region.
The film was originally released in 2016, but unsurprisingly, Stone came up against problems distributing the film in the US and western countries. A Russian-dubbed version was available almost immediately and was aired on TV in Russia, but people in the 'free world' were left without access to the full film.
Now, at last, the full exposé is available on YouTube. Though, of course, everyone is encouraged to purchase a copy to support Stone's important work.

Syria war: US Kurdish 'border force' plan denounced
15 Jan 2017.....
About half of the border force will be made up of Syrian Democratic Forces fighters
Key powers involved in Syria's civil war have criticised the US for helping an allied
Kurdish-led militia set up a 30,000-strong "border security force".
Turkey's president vowed to "suffocate" efforts to train the Syrian Democratic Forces
(SDF) and create what he called a "terror army".
Turkey considers Kurdish fighters, prominent in the SDF, to be terrorists.
Syria's government decried the "blatant assault" on its sovereignty, and Russia warned
it could lead to partition.With US help, the SDF has captured tens of thousands of square
kilometres of territory from Islamic State (IS) militants.In October, the alliance took full
control of the northern city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the "caliphate" declared by
the jihadist group in 2014.Since then, SDF fighters have been advancing southwards
along the eastern side of the Euphrates river valley, clearing the last remaining militants
from the desert area.

Re: Ukraine, Crimea, Syria, Israel, Iran, Turkey, Putin, China, and World War III
Synopsis:The Russian military stationed in western Syria fought off the world’s first militarized swarm of drones the night of Jan. 5th-6th.
As darkness fell Russian radar detected a swarm of 13 drones headed towards two of their bases from a significant distance away. Ten of the assault drones attacked the new Russian air base and 3 attacked the naval base.
But for some reason the Russians were ready. Their Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missiles destroyed even of the incoming drones, and the other six were hacked with radio equipment. Three of those six did manage to drop explosives which appeared to be modified mortar rounds, severely damaging 2 Russian fighter-bombers before being brought down.
Flight data indicates that the GPS-guided drones were launched by terrorists at a distance of about 62 miles away. The drones were cheaply-constructed airplane-like aircraft with about a 6-foot wingspan, but guided by very sophisticated GPS satellite navigation systems.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that the sophistication of the nav systems indicated that the attack was supported by what they called a technologically advanced state. Russian specialists are trying to determine the origin of those nav system.

French Journalist 'Mad at Media' for Their Role in Unleashing Bloodshed in Syria
Sputnik Opinion
12:59 21.01.2018
(updated 13:04 21.01.2018)
French national Jean-Pierre Duthion lived in Syria in 2007-2014 and witnessed the outbreak and developments of the war that plunged the once prosperous republic into chaos. He also exposed the staggering discrepancies between the real string of events and their depiction by mass media. Duthion shared with Sputnik his unforgettable experience.
Jean-Pierre Duthion spent seven years in Syria, from 2007 to 2014, helping French and international companies gain access to the Syrian market. When the war started in 2011, he decided to stay in the country and even opened a bar in Damascus. After realizing the disparity between what was really happening in Syria and what was being reported by the Western media, he started posting images of Damascus on his Twitter account. Soon many French nationals and European media crews started asking him to accompany them in Damascus (in particular during the chemical attack on Ghouta).
In 2014 Duthion was suddenly arrested. He believes it was because he refused to give a bribe to a high-ranking official. A few days later he was released, and with the help of the Romanian Embassy and the French Consulate in Beirut, he left the country and ended up in Lebanon. After returning to France, he has worked as a consultant for various media outlets. He has shared his memories with Sputnik France.
About the Disparity Between What Was Really Happening During the Protests in Syria and What Was Reported by Western Media:
"When you hear the distant sounds of shooting, explosions, when you see clouds of smoke rising in the distance and at the same time channels such as France24, BBC, CNN are reporting that across the country mass protests are being suppressed and that hundreds or thousands of people have been killed, you ask yourself what sources of information these media outlets are relying on. Naturally they are people that are not always objective, because at that time journalists, with certain exceptions, didn't have the right to be in Syria.
Who are those people? They are witnesses that France24 would call "citizen journalists" which, equipped with a phone, sitting in their bedroom, and sometimes through Skype, would talk about what's happening. There's no way to check that information so you can forget about journalist ethics, which requires three sources, not known to each other to verify information. Any individual using Twitter or publishing posts on Facebook becomes a legitimate source of information, which means there's no way to question their words. Given that […] everything needs to fit the notion of the collapse of the Syrian regime then everything we hear in the media starts making sense."
About the Media That Encouraged People to Come to the Streets:
"I'm mad at the media, because they prompted people to come out to the streets to protest. That's why from the start I didn't believe in the success of this movement, not because I don't think it has the right to exist, […] but because I was certain that a regime change would never happen in Syria."
How I became a Journalist:
"The day I became a journalist by chance, France24 channel and other news outlets were reporting that at the Abbaseyin square the army was suppressing hundreds of protesters and that the revolution was about to start. Back then, I was engaged to a woman that lived three minutes away from that square, so I got in my car and headed there. There was not a soul there, too quiet for a place where there must be bloodshed. My car was one of the few cars at the square. I decided to stop and take a few photos, which I published on Twitter. […] My phone rang nonstop. The rest of the day I spent on the phone talking to journalists from CNN, BCC and French news which saw my photos on Twitter."
On Meeting French Jihadists:
"In Homs and Aleppo I met with French jihadists arrested by government forces and had the opportunity to talk to them. […] What surprised me was that they had no ideology, […] these were boys, and they were sort of outcasts. […] Most were under 24 years of age."
About the Chemical Attack on Ghouta:
"The chemical attack on Ghouta seems absolutely irrational to me because I spoke to the Syrian army officers. […] UN observers were just a few kilometers away from Ghouta at the outskirts of Damascus. […] It's hard to imagine that the Syrian government would use chemical weapons in Ghouta when just a few kilometers away there are UN observers that were in Syria to make sure there were no chemical weapons in the country. It doesn't make any sense, neither the timing nor the place. […] Also the fact that the army I saw in Syria had poor weaponry and many didn't even have bulletproof vests shouldn't be overlooked."
Arrest and Freedom:
"I was arrested. When I asked the head of prison for what, he didn't explain much. France didn't undertake any measures apart from the French Consul acting on her own initiative with no backing from the French authorities […] she decided to contact the Romanians, which I had a really good relationship with, and asked them to help, granting me a diplomatic pass. The Romanian embassy was one of the few European missions still operating in Syria. […] Syrians had to let me go. […] They took me out of the city and I spent 45 minutes in a pickup truck under blazing sun and flying sniper bullets."
On Contacts With French Intelligence Services:
"French Intelligence Services often show incompetence […] I remember being questioned about how things are going for people who I knew for a fact had died several months ago at that time. At first you tell yourself you're being tested, just as I could have been tested by other security services — by the Americans, the English, the Romanians, but then very quickly you realize that this is no test."

Tribunal awaits: Latest UN data on Donbass denounces Poroshenko's lies

The UN Commission for Human Rights has noted that 90% of civilian casualties in Donbass lived within the territory of Lugansk or Donetsk republics (as opposed to the Kiev- controlled territory of Donbass.) This was stated by political scientist Denis Denisov at a press conference in Moscow. "These figures are most authoritative and illustrative. They demonstrate the most important thing - which side is conducting a defensive war, and which - the offensive," Denisov said.
According to him, the OSCE mission constantly notes the absence of Ukrainian military equipment. At the same time, the Ukrainian military prevents access of the monitoring mission to certain sites. OSCE representatives have recorded attempts by the Ukrainian army to shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles belonging to the mission. The Ukrainian military responded that there have been no orders to stop the fire.

Syria war: Kurds call on Damascus to defend against Turks
Kurdish authorities in Syria's northern Afrin enclave have called on Syrian troops
to defend the region's border, as a Turkish offensive continues there.They said the
"aim of this (Turkish) aggression is to cut more Syrian land by occupying Afrin".
Turkish-led forces began their assault in north-western Syria on Saturday.
Ankara regards Kurdish YPG fighters in Afrin as terrorists, and says they are linked
to Kurdish PKK guerrillas who operate in Turkey itself.Forty-eight Turkish-backed
rebels and 42 YPG fighters have been killed in the fighting since Saturday, says
the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group.

Russia mocks Gavin Williamson's attack warning
1 hour ago
Russia has ridiculed a UK minister for suggesting it could cause "thousands and
thousands and thousands" of deaths by crippling British infrastructure.Defence
Secretary Gavin Williamson told the Daily Telegraph Moscow was spying on energy
supplies which, if cut, could cause "total chaos" in the country.
