Rasa - Human Rights Watch is wasting its time to call for an arms embargo on Saudi Arabia over its atrocious aerial bombardment campaign against Yemen. The West won't terminate its alliance with the most prolific arms buyer.

Rasa - Iran is being blamed for many of the Persian Gulf’s woes – from counterproductive presence of British and American naval forces to terrorism, insecurity, low oil prices and regime-change wars.

Rasa - The United States and coalition of regime changers may not be willing to hear this, but a new era has just ushered in. The Western-backed "moderate” terrorists lost Aleppo. Syria won.

Rasa - First they claimed Iran is the main state sponsor of terror. Now war-party Washington claims the biggest threat to US security also comes from Iran.

Rasa - A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. This has been particularly the case for international human rights groups and aid agencies in recent days.

Rasa - The Syrian government troops, supported by Russian fighter jets and Iranian military advisors, continue their military operations and advances in the surrounding areas of the newly-liberated Eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo.

Rasa - Everyone is worried about stopping terrorism in Syria’s Aleppo. The problem is, many are also participating in it.

The recent military gains by the Syrian Army and Iranian-Russian allies in Aleppo has engendered a great deal of teeth-gnashing at the United Nations, particularly about international aid and future reconstruction efforts.

Rasa - These are strange times. Instead of criticizing Saudi Arabia and its allies for waging an illegal war on Yemen, the United Nations has criticised the formation of a new government in Sana’a!

Rasa - Guess who will sit on the United Nations Security Council seats between 2016 and 2018? War criminals and nine of the world's top ten arms exporters.
