International Relations

Russian Cooperation and Trade with Greece are Increasing

News Analysis:  The very strategic location of Greece, as well as a cultural and religious affinity between the two countries, make for a win-win situation for both. Since Greece is the first European country when coming from the Levant or Northeast Africa, its location is laudable.

The vessel shipment of hydrocarbons or bulk commodities through the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean or through the Suez Canal is quite enticing. Since Greece has historically treated its neighbors with respect, good relations abound. The aforementioned is of great importance to Greece’s long-time friend, Russia.

Electronic Surveillance for 7.141 Billion People on Earth, but These 35 Leaders are Exempt?

News Analysis: Global electronic surveillance evidences transgressions of violating the privacy of all the people on earth. The argument that seeking a few terrorists justify such surveillance is ludicrous. Adding to the insult is the argument that it is proper to monitor 7,141,000,000 people but ‘Do not monitor 35 world leaders’? Who anointed these transgressors to police the planet? Was there some “Deific Communication” to their Headquarters that prescribed this? Do they think that people of the world’s privacy is of no importance? Can they violate International Law with impunity?

The fact is that the Internet world routing as it presently occurs [through America], along with American-made electronic processing equipment to make sense of the volume of communications being handled, followed by weak international leadership that was complacent about eavesdropping, brought this Privacy Pandemic about. Reality.
