China: Putin Meets DPRK’s Kim in Beijing! (4.9.2025)

The two leaders met formally at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse after attending a military parade in the Chinese capital that marked the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Putin and Kim traveled from a formal reception to the negotiations in the same car, the Kremlin said in a post on social media.

After a bilateral meeting between Russian and DPRK delegations, the two leaders held a one-on-one meeting, the Kremlin said.

Putin also invited Kim to visit Russia again, following on from the DPRK leader’s last visit to the country in 2023.

In his remarks, Kim said the cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow has “significantly strengthened” since the two countries signed a strategic partnership pact in June last year during a summit in the DPRK capital.

Peter Wyles Blog – Paignton: Strength Through Peace & Happiness – the Explorers Return! (28.8.2025)

Whilst doing this – we can do this on our own terms. Those with power can do whatever they won’t to – but whilst our bodies are being oppressed (and are choices taken away) – we can retain whatever attitude we wish to have. So be it. We will fight and die on our own terms – this is a right that cannot be taken away.

Youth Demand described the arrests as “an unprecedented level of police repression”.

‘Democracy has got to have some upsides’

The arrests led to an outcry, with former Downing Street director of communications Guto Harri telling Sunday Morning With Trevor Philips: “Democracy has got to have some upsides, and one of the upsides is that the police don’t come crashing through your door just because you say something that upsets someone.”

When Home Secretary Yvette Cooper was asked about it by Trevor Philips, she said: “We have a long tradition, not just of free speech, but of freedom of assembly.”

She added, however, that the police have operational independence and “the police need to operate independently from the home secretary”.

Saudi Arabia: Russia and US Meet – Bloggers Discuss – Propaganda Arises! (13.3.2025)

It is clear that the United States and Russia are states whose national interests will never be identical. They cannot coincide completely, not even 50%. But when these interests do coincide, this situation must be exploited to develop simultaneous and similar interests . However, when interests do not coincide and contradict each other, responsible countries must do everything possible to prevent this contradiction from escalating into confrontation, especially a military confrontation that would be disastrous for many other countries.
