Image is of Putin and Scholz sitting on opposite ends of a frighteningly long table back in 2022. Folks, the table is gonna get ten feet longer.

The latest round of US-Russian diplomacy is taking place on August 15th in Alaska, where Putin and Trump are meeting in-person to maybe try and bring an end to this godforsaken conflict. While I don't want to totally discount the possibility that they may come to an agreement - you truly never know! - there's a lot stacked against this encounter yielding much of anything.

Russia appears to have demanded a land swap; that Ukraine fully withdraw from Kherson and Zaporozhye oblasts (in exchange for unspecified Russian gains, but probably parts of Sumy and Kharkov) as a precondition for a ceasefire that could perhaps lead to a permanent resolution of the conflict, and Ukraine seems completely unwilling to do anything of the sort, saying that even if they wanted to, the process of just giving up a couple oblasts would take significant time and require referendums. I say that Russia has appeared to demand it, because there's been a lot of confusion - probably in bad faith - about what Russian diplomats and Putin himself have said and what the demands even are. There are some who speculate that Trump will sell out Ukraine and blame Zelensky for refusing to agree with Russian demands, and there are others who say that this just the latest of many examples of the US and Russia meeting up with such fundamental differences that a deal is impossible, and that Trump fully expects to put sanctions on Russia after Putin declines some harebrained American scheme.

Anyway. After the summit, in late August, Putin is due to arrive for a visit to India, at Modi's invitation. Previously, I was unsure exactly what India would do in response to American sanctions pressure, and now we appear to be receiving an answer, as Modi has made public statements that suggest that he is only getting closer to Russia. Fascinatingly, Modi will soon make his first visit to China in seven years at the annual SCO summit at the end of August, and Putin will be heading to China too on September 3rd. There is an increasing amount of dismissal about the potential of BRICS (especially one that contains India), and that dismissal is certainly rather justified, but I am still deeply curious about what developments may occur as the global south braces to face the remaining ~85% of Trump's presidency.

Rather unrelated but I will say some about Ukraine putting era on abrams tank

The thing is, this is the first time I have ever seen ERA on abrams turret cheeks.

I will explain some about tanks for people who have no idea about it: in general highest armor in tank is on turret cheeks, it is the hardest place to hide. You can hide lower front hull panel behind short rock so it has the lowest protection at front angle. Upper hull front panel is harder to hide so they have a better armor. Turrets have the highest armor because it is quite hard to hide them with static environmental covers. Adding to that, abrams was designed to defend against Soviet invasion with hull down trenches for them. I remember from a Iraq war veteran that a tank will return to base if it is hit anywhere except turret cheeks. That is how much they trust their turret. They never needed a turret cheek ERA before this conflict.

This is not about drones, no drone will strike the strongest part of tank. I think Russians have a weapon that can penetrate turret (probably atgm) now

U.S. escalates human rights criticism of South Africa and Brazil - Washington Post

Article

Leaked draft reports reviewed by The Post lean into President Trump’s contested claims about perceived political foes, fueling disputes at the State Department.

The Trump administration is significantly escalating U.S. government criticism of perceived foes in South Africa and Brazil as the State Department’s political leadership reimagines America’s role in documenting human rights abuses around the world, according to leaked draft documents reviewed by The Washington Post.

The department’s annual human rights reports, which are scheduled to be transmitted to Congress on Tuesday, according to a memo seen by The Post, are expected to target the South African government for its alleged mistreatment of White Afrikaner farmers and the Brazilian government for its alleged persecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro, an ally of President Donald Trump.

Human rights advocates, foreign leaders and other critics of the Trump administration say its claims about both governments are exaggerated. Within the State Department, there is considerable unease, too, over how the writing of these and other country-specific human rights reports were shaped compared with past years, with some saying the process was unduly politicized.

The Post also has reviewed leaked draft reports for El Salvador, Israel and Russia. Those documents eliminate previous descriptions of abuses, including government corruption, prisoner abuse and persecution of LGBTQ+ individuals.

The State Department has declined to comment directly on the draft documents but last week issued a broad defense of the administration’s shift in priorities.

“Governments around the world continue to use censorship, arbitrary or unlawful surveillance and restrictive laws against disfavored voices, often on political and religious grounds,” a senior State Department official, speaking on the condition of anonymity under the agency’s rules, told reporters. “We are committed to having frank conversations … with our allies, our partners and also our adversaries to promote freedom of expression around the world.”

This official also noted that the forthcoming human rights reports had been restructured to remove redundancies and increase readability.

Representatives of the South African and Brazilian embassies in Washington did not respond to requests for comment.

Current and former State Department officials familiar with this year’s human rights reports describe a divisive process with internal disputes over certain countries, including South Africa, resulting in a months-long publication delay as drafts begun during the Biden administration underwent substantial revision.

Uzra Zeya, a top official for human rights at the State Department during the Biden administration who now leads the Human Rights First nonprofit, said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was seeking to “weaponize and distort human rights policy” in a way that rewards rights-abusing allies while targeting political opponents and critics.

The report for South Africa focuses on what the Trump administration says is the “land expropriation of Afrikaners and further abuses against racial minorities in the country,” the draft documents show. Trump has claimed the country’s White minority faces a “genocide,” though human rights groups, and even some Afrikaner groups, have resoundingly dismissed that as untrue.

Trump lectured South African President Cyril Ramaphosa during a visit to the White House in May, with the U.S. president showing his visitor purported video evidence of what he claimed proved the persecution of Afrikaners. While Ramaphosa acknowledged there were problems with safety in some rural parts of his country, he forcefully rejected the idea that White South Africans were being singled out — and at least one of the images Trump showed during the tense meeting was later found to not show South Africa at all.

That same month, the Trump administration welcomed to the United States about 60 White South Africans as refugees, making a rare exception to its broader halt to refugee resettlement programs for people fleeing war or facing persecution around the world.

The U.S. has also cut aid to South Africa and is planning to boycott November’s meeting of the Group of 20 industrialized countries to be held in Johannesburg. U.S. officials have complained not only of the treatment of White Afrikaners but also South Africa’s support of legal cases against U.S. ally Israel at the International Court of Justice. The draft report includes a lengthy section on antisemitism in South Africa.

According to two people with knowledge of the process, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, career State Department staff pushed back on some of the proposed language in the South Africa report. There were specific concerns, these people said, about use of the word “genocide,” which carries significant legal implications for U.S. policy under domestic and international law.

One person with knowledge of the process said the administration wanted not just to strip down the South Africa draft left by the prior administration but reshape it entirely, highlighting claims of persecution against Afrikaners despite doubts about their veracity.

A Trump political appointee, Samuel Samson, led the draft’s rewriting after Africa subject matter experts in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor refused to continue their involvement, citing the inclusion of false and misleading information, this person said.

Samson later visited South Africa in July to conduct research, according to local media reports. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In Brazil’s draft report, the State Department accused the country’s left-wing government of “disproportionately suppressing the speech of supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro,” who is accused of attempting to stay in power with a violent coup. Bolsonaro has denied the charge.

The draft report specifically mentions Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, stating that he “personally ordered the suspension of more than 100 user profiles on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter)” in a way that impacted Bolsonaro’s supporters on the far right.

The Trump administration expanded U.S. sanctions on Moraes last month, with Rubio alleging the judge had committed “serious human rights abuse, including arbitrary detention involving flagrant denials of fair trial guarantees and violations of the freedom of expression.” Moraes has pledged to ignore the sanctions and continue his work.

Bolsonaro and his allies have appealed to Trump for help as he faces a variety of charges related to the 2022 attempted coup, which occurred roughly two years after Trump’s supporters, hoping to overturn his election defeat in 2020, carried out a violent assault on the U.S. Capitol.

“I always talked about the prosecutions that Trump suffered. If he wants to say something about me, he’ll decide to speak,” Bolsonaro told The Post this year.

Administration officials have defended the shift in U.S. human rights priorities, and it’s not unusual for a new administration respond to different trends, such as perceived attacks on freedom of expression in Europe and other democracies.

The State Department human rights reports are the most comprehensive on the subject compiled by any single body in the world, and they are widely used in both U.S. and international courts. In particular, they are often used in immigration court during hearings on asylum and deportations.

Appearing in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in May, Rubio clashed with Democratic lawmakers, who asked why the State Department had canceled long-standing refugee programs but started a new program that focused specifically on Afrikaners from South Africa.

Rubio said that the South Africans who arrived in the United States “thought they were persecuted” but acknowledged there were millions of others facing persecution around the world who would not be resettled as refugees in the U.S.

~~The United States Airforce~~ Customs and Border Protection, for some reason the aircraft shows up as USAF on flight radar, but it is operated by CBP and is owned by the DHS, has operated an MQ-9B SkyGuardian/Predator B MALE UAV asset "TROY701" over Mexican airspace today as part of a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) mission, circling to the west of Mexico City. This is the first time a ~~US military aircraft has operated over Mexican airspace (outside of a search and rescue mission)~~ a CBP UAV has flown deeply into Mexican airspace, since the beginning of the second term of the Trump presidency.

From the brochure, PDF format

The MQ-9B can also be configured for Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) missions. Payloads can include Electronic Support Measures (ESM), Radar Warning Receivers (RWR), and a variety of SIGINT packages. The aircraft will also be capable of using the Link- 16 military tactical data exchange network.

Future capabilities for the MQ-9B include communications relay, anti-submarine warfare, electronic attack, ballistic missile defence, and more. Weapons capability will be available on the MQ-9B SkyGuardian and will leverage the proven precision strike capability of the MQ-9A Reaper which is typically armed with 500-pound GBU-12 Paveway II laser guided bombs, and/or AGM-114 Hellfire missiles.

However I highly doubt that the MQ-9Bs which are part of CBP missions and visible on public flight trackers have the hardpoints for mounting weapons. They are most likely unarmed. Photos as recent as March 2024 show no hardpoints for weapons. The specific sensor that the CBP uses for reconnaissance is called VADER:

In 2012, AMO (Customs and Border Protection Air and Maritime Operations) added Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar (VADER), a strategic and tactical operations sensor that provides comprehensive situational awareness for an expanded area. It is designed to detect moving targets and perform coherent change detection. VADER-equipped UAS are an effective tool to help crews detect, classify, and track moving targets over land.

🟢 Hamas, in a statement, rejects and strongly condemns the UN Secretary-General's report listing the movement on the "blacklist" for sexual violence.

The movement states this inclusion is legally void and factually incorrect, based solely on politicized and fabricated "israeli" narratives without independent investigation or adherence to international evidence standards.

"The movement recalls that Security Council Resolution 1820 (2008) and Resolution 2467 (2019) emphasized that all allegations of sexual violence in conflicts must be subject to independent and impartial field investigations in accordance with recognized international standards of proof, which was not respected in the case of this inclusion."

In stark contrast, the zionist occupation forces were excluded, despite hundreds of documented evidence from UN fact-finding missions and independent human rights organizations proving systematic sexual violence against Palestinian civilians, includingremoved, in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Hamas calls on the UN Secretary-General and Security Council to:

Review and immediately withdraw this unjust decision.
Open an independent international investigation into all sexual violence claims related to the conflict.
Prosecute and hold "zionist" leaders accountable for all crimes ofremoved and sexual violence against our people and prisoners in their Nazi detention camps, bringing them before the International Criminal Court.

Hamas affirms that the politicization of international justice and double standards in applying international humanitarian law undermine trust in the UN system and encourage true perpetrators to continue their crimes.

The UN criticizes Peru's amnesty law, calling it a “step backward” in the pursuit of justice. President Dina Boluarte has enacted a law granting amnesty to police officers and military personnel convicted of crimes committed during the country's internal armed conflict between 1980 and 2000.

“With the enactment of this amnesty law, the government recognizes the sacrifice of members of the Armed Forces, the police, and the self-defense committees (civilians) in the fight against terrorism and in the defense of democracy,” said the president during the enactment ceremony.

The internal conflict in Peru, in which state forces fought the Shining Path and Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) guerrillas, left around 70,000 dead, most of them civilians, according to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report.

“International law, to which Peru is bound, clearly prohibits amnesties and the statute of limitations for serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law,” Turk warned in his statement.

The law could apply to 156 cases with final judgments and more than 600 ongoing legal proceedings for crimes committed during the period, according to experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, who do not speak on behalf of the organization. Prior to this amnesty, Peru had passed a law in August 2024 declaring crimes against humanity committed before 2002 in the fight against guerrillas to be time-barred.

🚨 According to the Government Media Office:

Only 136 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Wednesday and Thursday, a fraction of the 1,200 needed. Most were looted amid deliberate security chaos, part of the occupation's policy to engineer starvation and chaos.

In 19 days, only 1,671 aid trucks have entered Gaza, approximately 15% of the actual needs. The occupation prevents sufficient aid, fails to secure shipments, and continues to close crossings, undermining humanitarian efforts.

Gaza requires over 600 aid trucks daily. The occupation and its allies are held fully responsible for the humanitarian catastrophe. Calls are made for the international community to act decisively, open crossings, ensure aid flow, and hold the occupation accountable for its crimes.

🇾🇪 Ansarallah Commander Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr El-Din Al-Houthi in his speech today, August 14th, 2025: — The "israeli" aggression this week, with American partnership, has resulted in over 3,500 martyrs and wounded, including children, women, and displaced persons.

The "israeli" enemy is trying to deceive the world by claiming it allows aid to be dropped on the heads of the Palestinian people, according to a plan that targets them.

The American-"israeli" death traps continue to serve daily meals of murder.

The genocidal truth in the Gaza Strip has imposed itself even in Western societies.

The primary objective of the enemies is extermination by all means and methods: through epidemics, direct killing, starvation, thirst, and forced displacement.

The slogan "Death to the Arabs" has been an "israeli" slogan since the beginning of the zionist Jewish occupation of Palestine, and they chant it at their events and gatherings.

The announcement of the occupation of Gaza City is an escalatory step in the context of the continuous and horrific crimes against the Palestinian people.

Coordination and cooperation between the Palestinian factions are among the most important elements of strength.

The enemy's path in Syria bypasses all agreements, proving in practice that it does not want peace, but surrender.

The American proposal is not in Lebanon's interest but is a danger to it, aiming to stir internal strife and turn the Lebanese government into a police force for the "israeli."

The problem, O people of our nation and O Lebanese people, is not the resistance's weapon; this is a weapon that protects you, defends you, your freedom, your honor, your independence. The problem for our nation is the weapon in the hands of the "israeli" enemy that kills children and civilians, destroys your homes, occupies your lands, and plunders your wealth.

The American and "israeli" want to use the governments, armies, security services, and their active parties in our countries as a tool against their own people and homelands.

The Lebanese government's declaration of its submission to the American paper containing Israeli dictates is a betrayal of Lebanon and a surrender of its sovereignty.

In contrast to Norway's boycott of the enemy, the Saudi regime moves its ship "Bahri Yanbu" to transport weapons to the "israeli" enemy. The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund boycotts the "israeli" enemy economically, while Arab Egypt moves to sign the largest deal in its history with the enemy for gas.

The role of the Palestinian Authority is one of security coordination with the "israeli" enemy; it neither protects its people nor defends their rights.

This week, we carried out operations against Israeli enemy targets in Yaffa, Haifa, Asqalan, Bir Al-Sabi', the Naqab, and Umm al-Rashrash.

As expected, the US is doing some kind of "show of force" demonstration ahead of the Putin visit. F-22 Raptor 5th generation stealth fighter aircraft have been rolled out next to the red carpet Putin is expected to walk in on.

We got a picture of Trump and Putin with the F-22s, and a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber flyby, escorted by F-35s. Pretty much gone exactly as predicted with regards to the "show of force".

Video of the B-2 flyover, timed just as Putin greets Trump

Trump and Putin then entered the US presidential limousine together, and drive past another B-2 bomber on the ground
