1…………> I Ain’t Sure: Comrade Un

The North Korean leader wants a “successful” summit with the U.S. president next month, but Comrade Kim Jong-un is yet to be convinced he can actually trust Washington to hold up any potential agreement, the South Korean president Moon Jae-in remarked at a briefing following surprise border talks with Kim a day earlier, their second meeting in a month but only the fourth ever inter-Korean summit since 2000.

“Chairman Kim Jong-un once again clearly affirmed that his commitment to complete denuclearization remains firm yesterday. What remains uncertain to Chairman Kim Jong-un is whether he can trust the U.S. promise to end their hostile relationship and guarantee North Korea’s security once the North denuclearizes,” Moon said in comments carried by Yonhap News Agency.

“I believe whether the June 12 North Korea-U.S. summit will be disrupted or succeed depends on how successfully [the North and the U.S.] complete their working-level negotiations,” Mr. Moon was quoted as saying.

2…………..> Ottoman Cultural Treasures: Russian Library

 

 The Russian State Library, founded in 1728, is the biggest library in continental Europe, holding 47 million literary works in 367 languages. Among famous readers who made use of the library’s vast collections were writers Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy, Russian emperors and politicians, including Vladimir Lenin.
 
Library’s Center of Eastern Literature has the largest collection of Ottoman-era books and other printed materials in the Turkish language in Europe and Russia, totalling around 35,000, according to a library official.

 

“A total of 13,000 items are modern Turkish books, magazines, newspapers and other printed materials, items of the Republic of Turkey, as we call them. The rest of collection are items in the old Ottoman language, and among them is a collection of first-printed books issued by Ibrahim Muteferrika Printing House; we have 16 of the 17 first prints [of this collection],”  Library director Marina Melanyina said.

3…………> A Moonwalker: Alan Bean

“As all great explorers are, Alan was a boundary pusher. We will remember him fondly as the great explorer who reached out to embrace the universe,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a statement about a man who took part in 11 world records in the areas of space and aeronautics, and with whose passing, only four of the twelve men who have walked on the moon are still alive – Buzz Aldrin, Dave Scott, Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt.

 
Alan Bean has died at the age of 86 after a brief illness, a man destined to be the fourth man to walk on the moon, completing two moonwalks in November 1969 with the Apollo 12 mission.

5…………> Short-Sighted Policies: US vs Turkey

Under the inept leadership of our 1st Muslim President, Grand Ayatollah Brack Obama, CIA bankrolled and supported FETO terrorists attempt to overthrow and assassinate Turkey’s President Erdogan, de-facto destroying the eastern flank of NATO and throwing a long-term friend and supporter of US in the waiting arms of Comrade Putin.

 
In continuation of this incredible stupidity, the State Department is threatening sanctions against Turkey for purchasing the Russian S-400 anti-missile systems
by restricting delivery of the F35 stealth fighter. The response? Ankara is likely to buy Russian Su-57 fighter jets if Washington decides to suspend the delivery of F-35 jets in response to the purchase of Russian S-400. 
Translation? As on many other occasions in the past, US is doing everything possible to fill-up Comrade Putin’s coffers with fresh cash by putting its nose in other people’s business, instead of simply sell weapons and collect the cash we badly need in America.
With friends like US State Department, who needs enemies?

1…………> Down With British Oppressors: Kut-Al-Amara

The 102nd anniversary of the Kut al-Amara victory against the British was commemorated at the Ottoman Martyrs cemetery in eastern Iraq, with Fatih Yildiz, Turkey’s ambassador in Baghdad, describing Kut al-Amara as a joint Turkish-Iraqi victory in a speech he delivered in the city of Kut to mark the anniversary.

“We need to take a lesson from the unity and solidarity that our ancestors had in history against plans to divide the people in the region. “Let our unity always continue in peace,” Yildiz said.

“Being here is important to refresh our 450-year-long relations. Our solidarity should continue in order to build our common future,” Wasit governor Mahmoud Abd al-Rida Mulla Talal emphasized the importance of cooperation between the Iraqi and Turkish governments.

The battle of Kut al-Amara took place during the 1st World War between the Ottoman Army and British-Indian colonial forces in the town of Kut.

2…………> Close Nuke Shop: Comrade Un

While commenting during his summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, North Korean leader Comrade Un disclosed his decision to shut down the country’s nuclear test site and open the process to experts and journalists from South Korea and the United States. 


“Once we start talking, the United States will know that I am not a person to launch nuclear weapons at South Korea, the Pacific or the United States,” Mr Yoon quoted Mr Kim as saying.

 

“If we maintain frequent meetings and build trust with the United States and receive promises for an end to the war and a non-aggression treaty, then why would need to live in difficulty by keeping our nuclear weapons?”
