It's been two years since the fall of Afghanistan. The tragic collapse of Kabul to the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban signaled the last sordid chapter in the Biden Administration's appalling and shambolic “withdrawal” from America's longest military commitment.

American films still hold sway in France
PARIS- “Barbie” has charmed Paris. The pink hued doll figure come alive in its blockbuster movie rendition has captured the hearts and imagination of the French film viewers during the second post-COVID summer.

Myanmar military regime backed by Russia, China: UN Report
It's hardly a surprise, but an affirmation of the obvious. Myanmar's military regime is being backed, supported and protected by both Russia and China.
