Laos Special Forces in Russia!

Russia: Laos Special Forces Training in the Kommadam Military Academy! (6.6.2026)

Laos is a small country in South-East Asia that was one of the most bombed country in history as the the US believed that the North Vietnamese (and Vietcong) were receiving supplies via the Ho Chi Minh Trail – from China and the USSR. This satuation bombing was worse than any bombing experienced during WWII. The Laotian people are Buddhist and only became free (after a Socialist Revolution) in 1975 after the US Forces were defeated and withdrew from Vietnam (technically, the US left in 1973 – but the US-controlled puppet “Army of the Republic of Vietnam” (ARVN) – did not surrender until 1975). It is interesting that although modern Russia is capitalist, nationalist, and quite often racist in its rhetoric, the non-White Socialist countries are fully supportive. This just goes to show how complex the dialectical situation is in the world today. The rightwing bourgeoisie of the West is in conflict with the left-leaning bourgeoise in Russia (bizarrely, whilst generally denigrating the history of the USSR – many Russian intellectuals claim that there is “no bourgeosie” in Russia).

Chuck Berry in London!

London: Chuck Berry – “My Ding-a-ling” – 1972! (5.6.2026)

Chuck Berry was advised that the only place he might get away with singing this song – which discusses “sex”, “race-mixing”, and “homosexuality” – was the UK. Obviously this advice was correct. Now, all was not rosy in the flower garden as we possessed a character named “Mary Whitehouse” who apparently attended a number of Chuck Berry concerts – sat at the front raising and dropping her knee to the music and openly singing the lyrics. As a middle-aged and sexually frustrated lady – an ardent Christian – she felt that she had a god-given duty to campaign to have this track “banned”. I was “5” in 1972 and had just started school in deepest, darkest Devon – and I remember all the young kids singing and humming this tune – thinking it was about the hand-bells we were taught to use in music lessons. Apparently, Ms Whitehouse (ironically, “Whiitehouse” was also the name of a prominent pornographic magazine at the time) stated “There is only a one-letter difference between the word ‘singing’ and “sinning’ and I have made this point clear to the representatives of Mr Berry!” Chuck Berry seems to have had a great time in our People’s Republic!

General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee and Lao President Thongloun Sisoulith visited east China's Zhejiang Province from Tuesday to Wednesday, touring technology companies and rural communities. During the trip, he said "thank you" on three occasions to express appreciation for China's technological progress and rural revitalization efforts. His first "thank you" came at DEEP Robotics, one of the "Hangzhou Six Little Dragons," a group of emerging tech firms known for innovation. At the company, the world's first industrial‑grade all‑weather humanoid robot, DR02, picked up a plush toy and presented it to Thongloun, who accepted it with a smile and replied, "Thank you."

The report stated that rape and gang rape, in some cases repeatedly, affected nine victims, most of them from Gaza.

The delegation began by conveying the Front’s congratulations on the success of the Eighth General Conference of the Fatah Movement and on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. Then the attendees held a discussion about the conditions our people are living in in the camps in light of the war being waged against Lebanon and its south, especially our people’s camps in the south and the massive displacement to the northern region. Both sides praised the important role played by the popular committees in the northern region in terms of caring for and supporting our displaced people, especially the communication with international and local institutions that contributed to alleviating their suffering.

US Marines - Korea - 1950

DPRK: “Dagger in Heart of Asia” Remark – Intensive Manifestation of US Hegemonism and Cold War Mentality! (3.6.2026)

The U.S., which had expressed its plan to reorganize the U.S. forces in the ROK into the “strategic task force” and “regional expeditionary force” since 2004, reached an agreement with the ROK on “strategic flexibility” of the U.S. forces in the ROK in January 2006, and in the 2010 Defense Department report, it clarified for the first time that the U.S. forces in the ROK could be dispatched to other regions according to the principle of “strategic flexibility”.

Recently, it more openly advocated the “modernization of the U.S.-ROK alliance” talking about “bolstering up conventional deterrent against all threats in the region” and “ensuring peace and security in the Taiwan Strait” at the 57th U.S.-ROK annual security consultative meeting in November last year. And in the National Security Strategy Report in December that year, it stressed the need for the regional allies including the ROK to increase the defence expenditure with the main emphasis on strengthening the capabilities needed for containing hostile countries and protecting the “first island chain”.
