">The Ergenekon trial verdict did not raise an outcry internationally. At best, the press highlighted the divide that has arisen in the country between those favoring a secular society and the Muslim Brotherhood. For Thierry Meyssan, this trial constitutes exceptional justice and concludes with the imprisonment of all the anti-US leaders: this is a coup.

">While the Western media describes the cancellation of the Obama-Putin summit as the most serious diplomatic crisis since the end of the Cold War and it applauds the firmness of the White House, the Chinese press sees it as a sign of weakness on the part of the United States vis à vis Russia. For Thierry Meyssan, the affair is of little fundamental importance. It is media posturing and will have no impact on peace in the Middle East.

">This website was one of the few to report that the Egyptian military’s removal by forced of Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi and his entire government was undertaken with firm secret backing of Saudi Arabia and several Gulf oil states, directly in defiance of Washington’s agenda. Now Saudi King Abdullah has confirmed this in an open declaration of support for Egypt’s military action against what the King called “terrorists.” It is the most open declaration to date that there is a huge and deepening rift between Washington and the Saudis of a scale perhaps unprecedented since the 1945 agreements between US President Roosevelt and then King Ibn Saud.

">Since Putin has returned to the presidency, Russia has reinforced its "anti-American rhetoric" by using "old Cold War stereotypes," said President Obama after cancelling the meeting set for September.
