President Vladimir Putin🇷🇺 on a potential strike against Europe:

‘If, heaven forbid, it comes to some sort of strike, Europe has no missile attack early warning system. They are defenceless. Instead of minimising victims, casualties could potentially escalate indefinitely.’

‘The Europeans must also consider if those with whom we engage in such conflicts cease to exist, will the Americans even participate in the conflict at the level of strategic weapons or not? I have serious doubts about it.’

🚨Iran🇮🇷 REJECTED mutual-defence pact with Russia🇷🇺. A FATAL mistake?

‘Russia and Iran do have a treaty on strategic partnership that was signed at the beginning of the year.

However, the treaty does not contain a clause that would have obligated the parties to come to the defence of each other in case either of them is attacked.

I believe that the Russians were proposing this clause when the treaty was being negotiated. But Iran at that time demurred.

I think they still put some weight on the potential outreach to the United States, to resume the nuclear talks with the US and get some agreement with the US, and maybe they thought that too close connection with Russia would not help them very much.’

-Dr. Dmitri Trenin, Member of Russia's Foreign & Defence Policy Council

On this day in 1960, Patrice Lumumba forms a government and becomes the first Prime Minister of independent Congo.

He had gained prominence as a charismatic and vocal advocate for independence from Belgian colonial rule, which led to his involvement in the Congolese National Movement (MNC).

Upon Congo's independence in June 1960, Lumumba was appointed as the country’s first Prime Minister. He faced immediate crises, thanks to neocolonial meddling in the country, including a mutiny within the army and the secession of the mineral-rich province of Katanga, backed by Belgium, the country which tortured Congo under colonialism for many years. His appeal for Soviet aid to quash the secessionist movement led to Western leaders immediately beginning to plot against Lumumba.

His rule would end in tragedy, when he was captured in Lodi by the troops of coup leader Joseph-Désiré Mobutu. The coup was backed by the US and Belgium, with US President Eisenhower ordering the CIA to ‘eliminate’ Patrice Lumumba.

For daring to oppose Belgian colonialism and US domination of Congo’s natural resources, Lumumba was executed by firing squad on the 17th of January 1961 after being tortured. Before being killed, the colonial conspirators tried to force Lumumba to eat the paper on which his Independence Day speech was written on. After being executed, his body was dissolved in acid.

Lumumba still remains an icon of pan-Africanism to this day, with his image and memory being a rallying point for Africans across the continent against neocolonialism.

An excerpt from Patrice Lumumba’s letter to his wife, his last words before execution:

‘I prefer to die with my head held high, unshakable faith, and the greatest confidence in the destiny of my country rather than live in slavery and contempt for sacred principles.’

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange reaching a deal with the United States to be finally freed from prison in London, and allowed to return to Australia🇦🇺.

🚨🇬🇧🇷🇺LORD SKIDELSKY: YUGOSLAVIA EXPOSED THE LIE THAT NATO IS A PURELY DEFENSIVE ORGANISATION

'The bombing of Yugoslavia in 1997 wasn't authorised by the United Nations, it was a NATO operation, and it gives the lie to the idea that NATO is a purely defensive organisation. I think if you're also trying to work out what the Russian attitude has been, ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there's been a consistent opposition to the eastward expansion of NATO. That's running consistently from Gorbachev, Yeltsin, to Putin.'

'That's always been met by the argument that NATO is a purely defensive organisation, that there's nothing to fear. And this idea that NATO is a sort of encircling beast is something conjured up by the Russians...so you have that narrative. The other case you can raise is the operation in Iraq.'

-Lord Skidelsky, one of the 20th Century's greatest economic historians and award-winning biographer of John Maynard Keynes
