US and UK military are the world biggest polluters

BY: Leonid Savin PEJOURNAL - You don’t have to be a professional environmentalist to see how Washington and its G7 partners pay lip service to environmental protection. We are constantly hearing about the “green” initiatives under the Paris climate agreement and the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. There is even talk of the need to introduce quotas for states. It is logical to assume that if the US has committed itself to restrictions, then it should do so in practice. Even the United States Defense Department is focusing on environmental issues. On 7 October 2021, the…

New missions by Washington allies to delay withdrawal from Iraq

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Recent developments in Iraq point to a complex scenario in which Joe Biden, as the former director of the new Middle East project in the Barack Obama administration, is working on a project to "divide West and Southwest Asia" to survive in the region. The scenario comes as the United States is required by the Iraqi parliament to withdraw its terrorist forces following the assassination of resistance commanders by Donald Trump. The work plan presented by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin at the outset. However, it shows that the Pentagon is not serious about…

Carrying weapons by the Yemeni people and tribes has long been an accepted tradition. Yemen is said to have more than three times the population of weapons.

Foreign Affairs: America’s Opportunity in the Middle East; Diplomacy Could Succeed Where Military Force Has Failed

U.S. foreign policy hands are rightly grappling with how engaged the United States should be in the Middle East. Thought-provoking essays by Martin Indyk (in The Wall Street Journal) and Mara Karlin and Tamara Cofman Wittes (in Foreign Affairs) have argued that the United States has few remaining vital interests—those worth going to war over—in the region. Washington should “do less” in the Middle East, as Karlin and Wittes put it, and lighten the U.S. footprint because, as the headline of Indyk’s essay noted, it “isn’t worth it.” Gone are the days when 180,000 U.S. troops fought in Iraq or when spiking…
