2021-09-04 03:00:04 BAIDEN ORDERED TO "RESPOND" TO THE DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT
(supported the Texas abortion law)

President Joe Biden has sharply criticized the US Supreme Court, which upheld a new Texas law restricting abortion. More precisely, giving individuals the right to sue anyone who promotes abortion for more than six weeks.

Biden called the decision "an attack on the constitutional rights of women as decided by the US Armed Forces in Roe v. Wade." He stated that he instructed his administration to "prepare a decisive response" to this action by the highest court.

Biden has been criticized by many Democrats in recent weeks for his reluctance to support an immediate expansion of the Supreme Court to 13 justices. There are now 9 judges and the majority belongs to conservatives, including three promoted by Trump.

Well, perhaps now the matter will get off the ground. Moreover, the expansion of the composition of the Supreme Council and filling it with liberal judges is part of the original strategy of the Democratic Party to ensure itself a long one-party rule. The failures of recent months do not completely cancel this strategy.

2021-09-03 16:00:08 EXPECTED: BEIJING NAMED TALIBAN'S CHIEF PARTNER *. ANKARA IS WAITING FOR HELP

Taliban spokesman * Zabiullah Mujahid said China is the movement's main partner. The PRC, according to Mujahid, has long been investing in the country and will help with its reconstruction, including the mining industry and infrastructure. He also spoke positively about the Belt and Road project.

The Taliban also stressed that they want to receive assistance from Turkey in the development of a number of areas: health, education, economy, construction and energy.

I would like to note that the PRC and the Taliban * have been developing mutually beneficial relations for a long time. Even during the American occupation, the Chinese were developing deposits on the territory of this Middle Eastern country. They had all the necessary business relationships with the Taliban. In fact, it was the Taliban * who ensured the security of Chinese specialists in Afghanistan.

The outlined ties with Turkey are also not news, although little has been written about this in our media. Ankara's emissaries have been in contact with the Taliban leadership for at least five years. And now another Taliban spokesman, Suheil Shahin, in an interview with Chinese television, says that he considers cooperation with Ankara in the spheres of health, education, economy, construction and energy important.
