️News round-up of February 19th

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Mr-Nemo, Feb 19, 2015.

  1. Good evening all. Today I would like to bring to your attention some of the most recent news stories from today and last night, including the riots in Argentina following the suspicious death of top Argentinian prosecutor Alberto Nisman, as well as the appalling behaviour of racist Chelsea fans in Paris and the continuing aggression of Russia in the Ukraine.

    Firstly, as some of you may be aware that Alberto Nisman, a top Argentinian prosecutor who was investigating the notoriously shady 1994 bombings of a Jewish centre in Buenos Aires, was recently found dead. The day after his death, Mr Nisman, who is a very well respected lawyer in Argentina, was due to give evidence against the Argentinian government as well as exposing the role of President Chrisina Kircher in covering up the terrorist attack. Mr Nisman claimed that the Iranians were behind the attack through terrorist group Hezbollah, and that the Argentinian government covered this matter up in order to secure lucrative oil deals with Iran in exchange for resources.
    Although Mr Nisman's accusations all scream another 'over the top conspiracy' to me despite his prestigious status, Mr Nisman was killed and the President herself believes that the death, which many have written off as suicide, was actually murder. Since this incident, President Kircher has pledged to disband the highly corrupt 'SI' Intelligence service of Argentina, and has even blamed the SI's secretary, Oscar Parilli, for orchestrating the killings in order to undermine her government. Never the less, the headline has made news over the last few days yet I believe some may have missed this story as it has dropped down in media attention. As we speak, riots take place in Buenos Aires in the search of justice for Mr Nisman. If you have any theories or own opinions on the matter, feel free to express them.

    I would also like to discuss the topic of Russian intervention in the Ukraine, with Russia announcing today that they would not allow UN Peacekeepers into Ukraine and are once again claiming that Western Ukraine has already violated the Minsk Agreement established last week, as well as coming dangerously close to UK air space today where two Russian jets were seen off by RAF planes.
    Do you believe Russia is stoking war? I was listening to a Radio interview today, where the speaker, an analyst, claimed he believed this would be the beggining of a world war where European safety is very much threatened from the East by Russia, and from the underbelly of Islamic State. What's your opinion?
