Terdapat dengan Gereja Ortodoks berjaya dalam kempennya. Ia dipanggil hologram satu "simbol setan."

EYE Of Sauron Will NOT Watch Over Moscow this WINTER . . .

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fans in Moscow are going to be disappointed that the Eye of Sauron will not, after all, appear above skyscrapers in central Moscow. The plan was criticized by the Orthodox Church and the city officials.

It appears the Orthodox Church was successful in its campaign. It called the hologram a “demonic symbol.”

Tetapi Svechenie, syarikat yang bertanggungjawab untuk sekeping seni, membuat keputusan untuk berundur dalam projek ini dengan sendirinya. Jawapan rasmi syarikat yang memberikan pada halaman Facebook adalah ini:

"Rakan-rakan yang dihormati, itu malang kita terpaksa membatalkan Mata projek Sauron. Kami tidak menjangkakan bahawa manifestasi cinta peminat untuk kerja JR Tolkien, yang telah mendapatkan populariti itu dalam media baru-baru ini, tidak akan mendapatkan apa-apa reaksi daripada orang ramai.

"Projek ini tidak disemai dengan mana-mana agama atau subteks politik," kata kenyataan itu lagi, menyatakan permohonan maaf dalam mana-mana perasaan yang tercedera.

Baru-baru ini Jabatan Moscow untuk media dan pengiklanan berjanji ia akan menghapuskan pemasangan harus ia didirikan.

Jabatan itu melihatnya sebagai publisiti untuk filem itu - sesuatu yang ia bertentangan, memandangkan tidak ada sebarang perjanjian rasmi terlebih dahulu dengan kolektif Svechenie itu.

But Svechenie, the company responsible for the art piece, made the decision to back down on the project on its own. The official answer the company gives on its Facebook page is this:

“Dear friends, it’s unfortunate we have been forced to cancel the Eye of Sauron project. We hadn’t anticipated that a manifestation of fan love for J. R. Tolkien’s work, which has gained such popularity in the media recently, would elicit such a reaction from the public.

“The project was not imbued with any religious or political subtext,” the statement continued, expressing apologies in case any feelings were hurt.

Recently Moscow’s department for media and advertising promised it would remove the installation should it be erected.

The department saw it as being publicity for the film – something it was against, given that there had been no prior official agreement with the Svechenie collective.

PENCEGAHAN SeranganNUKLEAR yang DITINGGALKAN Daripada DOKTRIN Baru TENTERA Rusia - laporan

AFP Photo

Srikandi - Draf baru doktrin tentera Rusia yang tidak mengadakan peruntukan bagi kemungkinan pencegahan serangan nuklear, agensi berita melaporkan me-metik sumber yang tidak dinamakan di Kementerian Pertahanan.

"Draf diperbaharui doktrin ketenteraan tidak akan mempunyai tempahan untuk pencegahan serangan nuklear pada musuh yang berpotensi. Perkara 198 dokumen itu adalah sangat tepat pada syarat-syarat yang Rusia boleh menggunakan senjata nuklear, "orang yang terlibat dalam penyediaan doktrin baru memberitahu Interfax semalam.

"Ia akan menjadi mungkin jika kedaulatan dan integriti wilayah Persekutuan Rusia adalah di bawah ancaman."

RIA Novosti mengesahkan laporan itu pada hari yang sama, memetik sumber yang tinggi diletakkan di dalam Majlis Keselamatan Rusia. Sumber itu berkata bahawa tentera telah berulang kali dicadangkan termasuk kemungkinan awal serangan nuklear ke atas negara-negara penyerang yang berpotensi atau blok, tetapi draf semasa mempunyai tiada pilihan tersebut.

Doktrin ketenteraan Rusia, yg diluluskan pada tahun 2010, juga tidak mempunyai peruntukan untuk pencegahan serangan nuklear. Ia menyatakan: "Persekutuan Rusia mempunyai hak untuk menggunakan senjata nuklear dalam jawapan kepada serangan dgn senjata nuklear atau senjata pemusnah besar-besaran di wilayahnya atau di wilayah sekutunya. 

Serangan juga mungkin dalam kes pencerobohan dengan penggunaan senjata konvensional yang meletakkan kewujudan Persekutuan Rusia ke dalam soalan."

Doktrin ini memberikan hak keputusan akhir serangan nuklear kepada presiden.

September ini, Presiden Vladimir Putin dikenakan pegawai tentera & negeri kanan dengan tugas membangunkan doktrin ketenteraan dikemaskini yang akan sepadan dengan politik global yang berubah-ubah dan cabaran ketenteraan moden. Tarikh akhir adalah akhir tahun ini. 

Pegawai-pegawai yang terlibat dalam projek itu sebelum ini memberitahu media bahawa doktrin baru itu akan mengambil kira bahaya dan ancaman baru, khususnya mereka yang menyatakan diri-Nya dalam apa yang dikenali sebagai Arab Spring, perang saudara di Syria dan krisis yang sedang berlaku di Ukraine.

Tahun lepas, pegawai Rusia yang bertanggungjawab bagi industri pertahanan, Timbalan PM Dmitry Rogozin, memberitahu pemberita ‘Dmitry Rogozin, told reporters’ bahawa Rusia akan menggunakan senjata nuklear jika ia datang di bawah serangan, sambil menambah bahawa kemungkinan ini berfungsi sebagai penghalang utama untuk provocateurs penceroboh dan berpotensi.

"Kami tidak pernah berkurang kepentingan senjata nuklear - senjata tindakan balas - sebagai pengimbang besar peluang," kata Rogozin.

Komen yang datang dalam jawapan kepada laporan tentang Konvensional Prompt Strike Global (PGS) strategi Amerika Syarikat'. Ketika itu, Rogozin dijanjikan peng-gubal undang-undang Rusia yg Kumpulan Wang Penyelidikan Jangka Panjang (FPI) akan membangunkan pelan tindak balas ketenteraan kepada strategi PGS, tetapi enggan mendedahkan apa-apa maklumat atau tarikh akhir.

PREEMPTIVE Nuclear STRIKE Omitted from RUSSIAN’s NEW MILITARY Doctrine - reports

The new draft of the Russian military doctrine doesn’t provide for the possibility of a preemptive nuclear strike, news agencies report quoting unnamed sources in the Defense Ministry.

“The renewed draft of the military doctrine would not have a reservation for preventive nuclear strikes on potential enemy. Article 198 of the document is very precise on the conditions under which Russia can use the nuclear weapons,” a person involved in the preparation of the new doctrine told the Interfax on Wednesday.

“It would become possible if the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Russian Federation are under threat.”

RIA Novosti confirmed the report on the same day, quoting a high-placed source in Russia’s Security Council. The source said that the military had repeatedly suggested including the possibility of a pre-emptive nuclear strike on potential aggressor nations or blocs, but the current draft features no such option.

The Russian military doctrine, approved in 2010, also lacks the provision for a preemptive nuclear strike. It states: “The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in reply to strikes with nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction on its territory or on the territory of its allies. A strike is also possible in case of an aggression with use of conventional weapons that put the very existence of the Russian Federation into question.”

The doctrine gives the right of final decision on nuclear strike to the president.

This September, President Vladimir Putin charged senior military and state officials with the task of developing an updated military doctrine that would match the changing global politics and modern military challenges. The deadline is the end of the year. Officials involved in the project earlier told the press that the new doctrine would take into consideration the new dangers and threats, in particular those manifested in the so-called Arab Spring, the civil war in Syria and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

Last year, Russia’s official in charge of defense industry, Deputy PM Dmitry Rogozin, told reporters that Russia will use nuclear weapons if it comes under an attack, adding that this possibility serves as the main deterrent to potential provocateurs and aggressors.

“We have never diminished the importance of nuclear weapons – the weapon of reprisal – as the great balancer of chances,” Rogozin said.

The comment came in reply to reports about the United States’ Conventional Prompt Global Strike (PGS) strategy. Back then, Rogozin promised Russian lawmakers that the Fund of Perspective Researches (FPI) will develop a plan of military response to the PGS strategy, but refused to disclose any details or deadlines.

5 Tindakan OBAMA yang Tidak-BEGITU-Aman SEJAK Riad NABBING Hadiah NOBEL . . .

U.S. President Barack Obama (Reuters/Larry Downing)

Srikandi - 5 tahun daripada Presiden Barack Obama yang menyungkit Nobel Peace Prize, dan White House telah mengambil apa-apa tetapi pendekatan Zen kepada dasar luar di bawah penyeliaan beliau.

Berikut adalah 5 bahagian yang bergerak tidak begitu aman pemenang yang telah dibuat dalam setengah dekad yang lalu.

1. Lonjakan  Afghanistan

Obama tidak bermula perang di Afghanistan, tetapi dia pasti mengambil halaman daripada playbook terdahulu dalam cuba untuk menyelesaikannya. Beliau diiktiraf kedudukan tidak menentu pada masa hadiah.

5 Not-SO-Peaceful OBAMA Actions Since NABBING 

Nobel PRIZE . . .

Five years on from President Barack Obama scooping a Nobel Peace Prize, and the White House has taken anything but a Zen approach to foreign policy under his watch. Here are the top 5 not-so-peaceful moves the laureate has made in the past half-decade.

1. Afghan Surge

Obama didn’t start the war in Afghanistan, but he certainly took a page from his predecessors playbook in trying to finish it. He recognized his precarious position at prize time.

Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama memegang beliau Noble Peace Prize dalam Majlis Nobel Peace Prize di Dewan Bandaraya Oslo di Oslo pada 10 Disember 2009 (US President Barack Obama holds his Noble Peace Prize during the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony at the Oslo City Hall in Oslo on December 10, 2009 (AFP Photo/Jewel Samad)

"Tetapi mungkin isu yang paling mendalam sekitar penerimaan saya hadiah ini adalah hakikat bahawa saya ‘commander-in-chief’ daripada sebuah negara di tengah-tengah 2 perang tersebut," katanya selepas menerima Hadiah Nobel di Oslo, Norway, pada Disember 9, 2009.

Walaupun beliau berkata perang di Iraq telah "mereda," perkara-perkara di Afghanistan telah baru bermula untuk menjadi panas.

Seminggu sebelum menerima hadiah, Obama mengumumkan beliau telah meng-hantar 33,000 lagi askar ke Afghanistan sebagai sebahagian dpd "dasar lonjakan," beliau bertujuan untuk mengalahkan belakang Taliban & melatih pasukan kesela-matan Afghanistan utk membawa negara ke dalam tangan mereka sendiri.

Tahun-tahun berikut akan menjadi dahsyat untuk kedua-dua tentera Amerika Syarikat dan orang awam Afghanistan. Sekali lagi, ia bukan peperangan Obama. Tetapi tiba . . .

"But perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the commander-in-chief of a nation in the midst of two wars," he said after accepting the Nobel Prize in Oslo, Norway, on December 9, 2009.

While he said the war in Iraq was “winding down,” things in Afghanistan were just starting to heat up. A week before accepting the prize, Obama announced he was sending 33,000 more troops to Afghanistan as part of his “surge policy,” intended to beat back the Taliban and train Afghan security forces to take the country into their own hands.

The following years would become the deadliest for both US troops and Afghan civilians. Again, it wasn’t Obama’s war. But then came . . .

2. Serangan Ketenteraan di Libya

Berikut Resolusi PBB 1973 pd 17 Mac, 2011, yg dipanggil utk "gencatan senjata segera" di Libya & membenarkan masyarakat antarabangsa untuk menubuhkan sebuah zon larangan terbang untuk melindungi orang awam, Obama, bersama-sama dengan sekutu NATO beliau, tidak lama lagi akan melancarkan serangan ketenteraan utk menghidupkan arus 2011 Perang Saudara di negeri Afrika Utara.

NATO dijalankan 9,700 sorties mogok dan merosot sejak 7,700 bom tepat. laporan Hak Asasi Manusia ‘Human Rights Watch report’ akan pergi ke butiran 8 insiden di mana sekurang-kurangnya 72 orang awam Libya mati akibat kempen udara.

2. Military strikes in Libya

Following UN Resolution 1973 on March 17, 2011, which called for “an immediate ceasefire" in Libya and authorized the international community to set up a no-fly zone to protect civilians, Obama, along with his NATO allies, would soon launch military strikes to turn the tide of the 2011 Civil War in the North African state.

NATO conducted 9,700 strike sorties and dropped over 7,700 precision bombs. A Human Rights Watch report would go on to detail eight incidents where at least 72 Libyan civilians died as a result of the aerial campaign.

Tetapi kerosakan sebenar untuk menumbangkan rejim Gaddafi yang datang pada tahun-tahun berikutnya, dgn negara yg turun ke dalam perang saudara antara tentera Islam dan kerajaan selepas revolusi yang lemah.

Pada bulan Ogos, Obama mengakui dasar Libya ialah kegagalan, tetapi bukan kerana beliau memilih utk campur tangan ketenteraan. Sebaliknya, beliau berkata masalah itu bahawa Amerika dan rakan-rakan Eropah tidak "datang berkuat kuasa penuh" untuk mengambil Gaddafi keluar.

Walaupun beliau ketika itu Setiausaha Negara Hillary Clinton seolah-olah bergem-bira dalam kematian-Nya, wryly menyatakan "Kami datang, kita lihat, dia mati."

But the real damage to overthrowing the Gaddafi regime came in the ensuing years, with the country descending into a civil war between Islamist forces and the weak post-revolutionary government. In August, Obama admitted his Libyan policy was a failure, but not because he chose to intervene militarily.

Rather, he says the problem was that America and its European partners did not “come in full force” to take Gaddafi out. Although his then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seemed to rejoice in his death, wryly noting “We came, we saw, he died.”

3. Drone Wars di Yaman, Pakistan

Sejak Amerika Syarikat mula mensasarkan militan Yaman pada tahun 2002, Obama telah melancarkan semua tetapi salah satu daripada 15 serangan udara dan 101 serangan drone di negara ini.

Menurut portal web New America.net, yg teliti dipatuhi data mengenai serangan, sehingga 1,073 orang terbunuh dalam serangan. Dianggarkan 81-87 yg terbunuh adalah orang awam, manakala identiti 31-50 lain masih tidak diketahui. Tetapi Yaman hanya merupakan salah satu cabang dalam Obama yg dipanggil Perangan drone, walaupun, seperti yang akan kita lihat, ianya merupakan tapak kejadian permainan berubah.

3. Drone Wars in Yemen, Pakistan

Since the US first started targeting Yemeni militants in 2002, Obama has launched all but one of the 15 airstrikes and 101 drone strikes in the country. According to the web portal New America.net, which has meticulously complied data on the strikes, up to 1,073 people have been killed in the strikes.

An estimated 81-87 of those killed were civilians, while the identity of another 31-50 remains unknown. But Yemen was just one prong in Obama’s so-called Drone War, though, as we shall see, it was the site of a game-changing incident.

Tidak seperti di Yaman, serangan drone di Pakistan telah memihak lama sebelum Obama berkuasa. Laporan yang dijalankan oleh Stanford dan sekolah Undang-undang New York Universiti 'mendapati bahawa antara 2562 dan 3325 orang terbunuh oleh serandan drone di Pakistan antara Jun 2004 dan pertengahan bulan September 2012.

Di mana-mana di antara 474 dan 881 daripada mereka telah orang awam, dan 176 adalah kanak-kanak. Walaupun Obama tidak memulakan berdengung perang Pakistan, beliau secara agresif meluaskannya.

Unlike in Yemen, drone strikes in Pakistan were in favor long before Obama came to power. A report conducted by Stanford and New York Universities’ Law schools found that between 2,562 and 3,325 people were killed by drone strikes in Pakistan between June 2004 and mid-September 2012.

Anywhere between 474 and 881 of those were civilians, and 176 were children. While Obama didn’t start the Pakistani drone war, he aggressively expanded it.

Imej dari newamerica.net menunjukkan lokasi serangan drone di Pakistan (Image from newamerica.net showing location of drone strikes in Pakistan)

Antara 2004 dan 2007, hanya 10 serangan drone telah dilancarkan di Pakistan. Pada tahun berikutnya menyaksikan 36 serangan itu, dan 54 telah dilancarkan pada tahun 2009.

Between 2004 and 2007, only 10 drone strikes were launched in Pakistan. The following year saw 36 such strikes, and 54 were launched in 2009.

Tetapi 2010 akan menjadi tahun paling dahsyat setakat ini, dengan 122 serangan dilancarkan dan 849 orang terbunuh. Dia akan pergi untuk memberi kuasa kepada 73 dan 46 masing-masing mogok pada tahun 2011 dan 2012.

But 2010 would be the deadliest year by far, with 122 strikes launched and 849 people killed. He would go on to authorize 73 and 46 strikes in 2011 and 2012 respectively.

Berikutan pembangkang meluas di rumah dan di luar negara, pada bulan Mei 2013, Obama berjanji era baru ketelusan untuk melindungi orang awam, berkata kawalan program itu akan dipindahkan dari CIA untuk Pentagon. Tetapi . . .

4. Obama mempunyai senarai kill rahsia

Pada bulan Februari 2013, justifikasi undang-undang dalaman pentadbiran Obama untuk membunuh rakyat Amerika Syarikat di luar negara datang kepada cahaya buat kali pertama.

Menurut dokumen Jabatan Kehakiman ‘Justice Department document’, White House mempunyai kuasa undang-undang untuk membunuh rakyat Amerika yang "pemimpin kanan operasi," Al-Qaeda atau "kuasa bersekutu" walaupun mereka tidak terlibat secara aktif dalam apa2 plot aktif utk menyerang Amerika Syarikat .

Pada bulan September 2011, serangan drone Amerika Syarikat di Yaman membu-nuh 2 warga Amerika: Anwar al-Awlaki & Samir Khan. Bulan berikutnya, serangan drone membunuh anak lelakinya yang berusia 16-tahun al-Awlaki, yang dilahirkan di Colorado.

Following widespread opposition at home and abroad, in May 2013, Obama promised a new era of transparency to protect civilians, saying control of the program would be transferred from the CIA to the Pentagon. But . . .

4. Obama has a secret kill list

In February 2013, the Obama administration’s internal legal justification for assassinating US citizens abroad came to light for the first time. According to the Justice Department document, the White House has the legal authority to kill Americans who are "senior operational leaders," of Al-Qaeda or "an associated force" even if they are not actively engaged in any active plot to attack the US.

In September 2011, a US drone strike in Yemen killed two American citizens: Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan. The following month, a drone strike killed al-Awlaki’s 16-year-old son, who was born in Colorado.

Konsep Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang menjalankan hak untuk membunuh rakyat Amerika Syarikat tanpa faedah perbicaraan telah bergema di seluruh budaya Amerika.

The concept of the US president exercising the right to kill US citizens without the benefit of a trial has resonated throughout American culture.

Dalam filem komik-buku yang diilhamkan 'Kapten Amerika: Askar Winter', isu pembunuhan dan " senarai membunuh" ciri-ciri penting dalam plot.

5. persempadanan semula garisan merah

Presiden Barack Obama menarik garis merah di sekitar penggunaan Syria senjata kimia, menolak masyarakat antarabangsa untuk menghukum Damsyik dengan serangan ketenteraan berikutan 21 Ogos Ghouta Attack.

In the comic-book-inspired film ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’, the issue of targeted killings and “kill lists” features prominently in the plot.

5. Redrawing red lines

President Barack Obama drew a red line around Syria’s use of chemical weapons, pushing the international community to punish Damascus with military strikes following the August 21 Ghouta Attack.

People, terjejas oleh apa yang aktivis berkata adalah gas saraf, yang dirawat di sebuah hospital di kejiranan Duma di Damsyik 21 Ogos 2013 (People, affected by what activists say is nerve gas, are treated at a hospital in the Duma neighbourhood of Damascus August 21, 2013 (Reuters)

Selepas Inggeris menolak keras serangan udara, Moscow dan Washington yg telah mengambil jalan diplomatik, menyebabkan perjanjian bersejarah yg telah menyak-sikan Damsyik meninggalkan stok simpanan senjata kimia.

After the UK balked at airstrikes, Moscow and Washington took the diplomatic route, resulting in a historic deal that has seen Damascus abandon its chemical weapons stockpiles.

Tetapi serangan udara Amerika Syarikat ke atas Syria hanya ditangguhkan. Pada 8 Ogos 2014, Amerika Syarikat memulakan pengeboman kononnya Negara Islam (IS) militan di Iraq untuk protect parti Kurd. Bulan berikutnya, Amerika Syarikat akan melancarkan serangan udara terhadap militan IS di Syria juga.

Dari semua campur tangan tentera Amerika Syarikat pada tahun-tahun kebela-kangan ini, peperangan menentang IS telah bertemu dengan sokongan yang besar. Masih, Syria merupakan negara yg ke-7 Obama telah bom dalam tempoh 6 tahun.

But US-led airstrikes on Syria were only postponed. On August 8, 2014, the United States started bombing so-called Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq to protect embattled Kurds.

The following month, the US would launch airstrikes against IS militants in Syria as well. Of all the US military interventions in recent years, the battle against the IS has been met with widespread approval. Still, Syria was the seventh country Obama has bombed in six years.

Cukup satu pencapaian untuk Nobel Peace Prize-pemenang.

Quite a feat for a Nobel Peace Prize-winner.
