Viktor Litovkin via Voltaire Network. Not surprising, the Israelis can’t come to terms with their failure, not to speak of the way the world views them, and instead blames Russia while once again playing the victim card (exaggerating the threat).
Hizbullah has, reportedly, already destroyed at least one armor division out of a total of seven [...]

Most of the millions in ‘aid’ is being channeled through the allegedly unbiased USAID. A joke in itself of course. Half of the grantees are classified in the documents obtained by the Associated Press and the meddling might force the Venezuelan government to pass a law requiring NGOs to reveal the sources of their funding.
