Reuters, Dec. 19, 2014, The Guardian

It would be Kim’s first foreign visit since taking the helm of the reclusive east Asian state in 2011. His personal envoy travelled to Moscow last month as part of efforts by the two Cold War-era allies to improve relations.

“Yes, such an invitation was sent,” a Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told the state news agency, Tass. Russia marks the former Soviet Union’s 1945 victory every year on 9 May.

In a show of military muscle amid tensions with the West, Russia will send long-range strategic bombers on regular patrol missions across the globe, from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, a top official said Wednesday.

The announcement by Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu came as NATO's chief accused Russia of sending fresh troops and tanks into eastern Ukraine.

Condi: The World Isn’t Listening To The U.S.

Lucy McCalmont, Nov. 10, 2014, Politico

Condoleezza Rice slammed the Obama administration’s handling of Iraq and America’s lack of strength on the world stage, saying that “nobody listens” when the U.S. isn’t leading.

“What we’re seeing is that when the United States steps back and speaks softly, nobody listens,” the former secretary of state said in an interview with Fox News that aired Monday.

“Americans also don’t like the world that they get when the United States is not deeply engaged and deeply involved,” Rice continued, pointing to beheadings carried out by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the recent attack in the Canadian parliament and tensions with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Hollywood Actor Comes Out Of The Closet--The Ideological Closet, That is

By Jennifer Burke, Jul. 31, 2014, Tpnn.com

David Boreanaz has never really been known for his political stance. In fact, in Hollywood, giving any indication that you are anything but an extreme, Leftist, Progressive, Marxist ideologue can have career ending consequences. Heaven forbid you give any hint that you are a conservative or go against the Hollywood ‘IT’ poster child, Barack Obama. After all, he parties with Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and George Clooney (while railing against the ‘rich.’)

But, on Wednesday, Boreanaz broke ranks and actually dared to criticize Barack Obama for his weak response to Vladimir Putin’s aggression.

Putin Says Will Use Influence On Ukraine Rebels, Denounces West

Russian President Vladimir Putin
By Darya Korsunskaya, Jul. 22, 2014, News.yahoo.com

MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday Russia would try to ensure Ukrainian separatists cooperate with an investigation into the downing of a Malaysian airliner, but said the West must do more to persuade Kiev to end hostilities.

Putin came out fighting in his most detailed comments since the plane was brought down on Thursday, dismissing criticism of Russia's role in events in rebel-held east Ukraine and describing the West's position as "strange and unacceptable".

Accusing the United States indirectly of pulling the strings in Kiev, trying to bully Russia and meddling in Russia's domestic affairs, the president said in televised remarks: "Such methods will not work on Russia."

Reading from notes at the head of a long table flanked by his top government, parliament, security and defense officials, Putin spoke much more forcefully than during brief televised remarks on the plane's downing first released in the early hours of Monday, when he looked tired and less assured than usual.
