President Obama is cutting a wide swath through Europe, urging
European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to stand
fast in unity against Russia's military aggression against Ukraine and
its annexation of Crimea, actions he says are grave violations of
world order.
In a speech he delivered yesterday at the Hague in Brussels, Obama
warned that Europe will experience past calamities if its leaders do
not move to check Russia's desire to expand its empire. Economic and
trade sanctions should be implemented by the EU to isolate Russia,
Obama said, adding that EU and NATO allies also should be prepared to
"deepen" actions against Russia.
Obama's speech, however, was revisionism personified. Leid Stories
uses it as a study in media literacy.
Retirees, city workers, union leaders and a coalition of grassroots
groups are putting the final touches on a sheaf legal objections to
the state-appointed emergency city manager's fiscal plan to dig
Detroit out of bankruptcy. Federal bankruptcy judge Stephen Rhodes
will hear their objections on April 1.
Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire and an organizer
for the Moratorium NOW! Coalition in Detroit, gives the details.
