Russia flexes might to send message to US, NATO that Syria’s coast is a no-fly-zone

BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:00 P.M.) – The Russian military is no longer tolerating U.S flights near the Syrian coast, as they have now intercepted at least three American planes in the eastern Mediterranean over the last 90 days. According to a Syrian military source in Damascus, the Russian Armed Forces previously tolerated the U.S.’ flights along the boundaries of Syria’s airspace, but given their repeated attempts to test the radar and air defense systems at the Hmeimim Airbase, the Russian Federation believes it is important to remind the Americans that they are not free to operate in these areas. The source pointed out that prior to the recent interception by the Russian Air Force, the U.S. Navy had conducted several flights near Syrian airspace in the month of May. When the Russian Air Force’s S-35 jets intercepted two U.S. P-8A Poseidon military aircraft in the eastern Mediterranean, the American planes were not seen in this region for several days. While interceptions are normal, especially when flying near another…

Courtney Marie Andrews – “It Must Be Someone Else’s Fault”

Two years ago, the LA-based singer-songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews released May Your Kindness Remain, an album of folky and soulful country music. It absolutely ruled. This summer, Andrews will follow it up with the new LP Old Flowers, which she recorded with Bon Iver/Big Thief producer Andrew Sarlo. The album features only three musicians: Andrews, Twain multi-instrumentalist Matthew Davidson, and Big Thief drummer James Krivchenia. Old Flowers was originally scheduled for release in early June, but it's since been pushed back about a month and a half. We've already posted the early singles "If I Told" and "Burlap String," and Andrews has shared a third today. "It Must Be Someone Else's Fault" is a warm, dazed song where Andrews fondly recalls an old relationship and about trying to come to terms with the idea that you once messed up a good thing. The lyrics are sad, but the music is gorgeous in a full, open, almost happy way. The song has a video from director V Haddad. It features

In rare interview, Libyan GNA colonel gives status update on the campaign

The advances have thrown efforts by Haftar's Libyan National Army into jeopardy. Libya has been split since 2014 between rival factions based in the capital Tripoli and in the east, in a sometimes chaotic war that has drawn in outside powers and a flood of foreign arms and mercenaries. Haftar, the most powerful commander in the east, has tried since last year to capture Tripoli. Turkey's backing in the GNA's most recent advance is most visible in the new balance of power in the air, with drones striking LNA forces repeatedly. The LNA has denied any foreigners are fighting with it, but the United Nations said this month that Russian private military contractor Wagner Group had up to 1,200 people in Libya.
