, had been described as iran needs an army that can primarily preserve order in the country, an army, by and who are the instigators. the shaw thought nixon was his closest friend and was obsessed with making iran strong, but the telegraphs by henry kissinger, nixon's advisor in 1970, revealed a mind-blowing secret. the telegraphs have recently been declassified and are kept in richard nixon's library and museum. in one of the telegraph. it's written, we've set the unity and cooperation between saudi arabia and iran as a basis for our policies in the region, but iran's power and ambitions might cause trouble. britain can prevent any friction or conflict in the region by its presence. but britain had major concern that had targeted their historical dominance. the persian gulf. the uk was no longer the british empire. if it wanted to insist on keeping the persian gulf, it will lose control over management of its own citizens. in the declassified telegraph, it's been noted that iranians are the most important issue. they're hopeful to become a major power in the region, but the us was he

army. confederate armies in the field took the major three of those men out of the state. consequently it was virtually impossible, even with active home guards keep an 1861 level of control and confederate military policy with success across the entire. by 1864. as long as the army remained in the field actively campaigning, confederates could never to amass the necessary force to suppress all of the local irregular conflicts in north carolina or in the rest of the confederacy. it was this destabilization and loss of control due to irregular warfare that was an insurmountable manpower within the state now the widespread form of irregular war in north carolina was the anti confederate people's war of self-defense and resistance that emerged among disaffected citizens deserters from the confederate army. conscript evaders never went into the confederate army who resisted the policy and unkindness tional unionists from the coastal no man's land of northeastern north carolina to the quaker and

and so it was done by the army and, and he was with the ends and he just shoot the, you know, the army is me to, you know, scan the, is the students for testers. and there would be a tribute of protection to them. the i'm and none of these, it was, was in the, in the official statement teacher or army mouthpiece. but that, that's what you understand from the 2 sources. and uh, for those of us who aren't aware, can you shed some light on the role that the ministry has played in uh, in modern bangladesh and its politics uh, the router. it was in charge of the 1975 of 201994. let me give you the procedure done to this. so there is this fee or eval metering dimensions. and so that to me to also step dean and fax the cv on get pick up and then back in 2007. and i'm guessing if you have people that really see a direct army to venture this because they are human rights reports. and they're, this is not really the, the, the army that you're talking about has been very close to the government to fix se, now hasn't been the army top ross. yes, it was the top generals all are and if not all, most

the coup was perpetrated by the army, the army was being controlled and guided by the us military advisors according to an idea proposed by roosevelt and practiced by truman. they used to call the us military personnel advisers. they had come to iran to train and manage iranian forces. many years later. the us secretary department made a mistake and some documents were leaked. according to documents inadvergently leaked by truman's presidential library in 1995, the us and british governments had prepared a plan named denial policy, so in case the soviet union gains access to the oil resources in west, then it would become operational. the us in britain would launch nuclear bombs on iran and saudi arabia to cut off soviet union's. access to iran's oil resources. the anglo iranian oil company and the u.s. saudi aramco were jointly involved in the plan. the plan was divised in harry truman's administration, but it continued during the next three presidents terms in office. the shaw was following two steps: one, to increase oil revenues as much as possible, and two, spend those revenues on pur

any day now the red army could encircle all the remaining reserves of army group south. the germans had only one road left, by which they could still leave the city. on august 22, manstein, fearing a repeat of the stalingrad disaster, gave the order to leave kharkov. the next day, the city was liberated by soviet troops. this meant that including losses for the germans, of the equipment that was under repair. ferdinands exploded en masse there and there. ceased to be tank in the sense that the mobile reserves as tank divisions literally had dozens of combat-ready vehicles left, this precipitous drop in the number of tanks in service led to the fact that... in august 1943 it became finally clear that the germans had lost their strategic offensive initiative, it no longer existed, and germany was still far from being a defeated country, but it was already clear that they were going over to the defensive, and the way out of the war is to leave with dignity, without losing face, but the germans simply could not think about any offensives here because their resources were exh

army. they became a participant in this today by giving the the ultimatum to the prime minister. and then facilitating according to the reports, the prime ministers exit from the country. and she left the country in a military aircraft, so their credibility or their culpability. it can not be disputed, right? or yeah, i mean, that's absolutely. and you know, many, many observers were surprised to shake a scene resigned as quickly as she did. and clearly someone had to have sent a message to her that essentially it was increasingly on stay for her to stay in the country was increasingly dangerous for her to stay in power. and i imagine that message had to come at some point from someone within the military, perhaps even the army chief himself. but yes, the army absolutely is not seen as an angel by, by many, an in bangladesh, just because it was involved in the crack down the for sure. and um, you know, the close relations that the army has had with shaken, seen at her party, for the duratio

would never be able even fly helicopter. it means army's air force will be bog down. after the army personnel heard the insult, they went to visit and it seems the air forces were scheduled to stage a military parade in front of the shaw before the revolution. although none of the helicopters were armed and the us military advisors had supervised every moment of rehearsals. riza pahlavi did not dare to take part in the ceremony. now the army personnel were willing to hold the ceremony. جاندارمری شهرانی در آغوش ملتند. ملت از آن هاست و آن ها از ملت. after the war broke out, the role of keeping the weapons in the battle became specially important. there were no military advisors in iran and the advance equipment should have been modernized by the iranian naval forces. one of the main tasks of the army's naval force during the war. besides dehabilitating army's war capabilities, was launching counterattacks off of kharga island. during the first moments of the war, the irgc purchased a plot of land in kadaj near the capital tehran and establish factory named hadid. the base and barrel o

and so that spread as the german army army occupied different areas. so even in france once france was occupied the were taken over and if they stayed open it because their printing with a current what the told the editors and drills to print. fdr was looking at that and he loved the optics of sending his troops overseas with the freedom of the press. and so i'm going to court for a second but thisti is what fdr sd in his dedication. hean said, and yank you have established a publication which cannot be understood by your enemies. it is inconceivable to them that the soldier should be allowed to express his own thoughts, his ideas and his opinions. it is inconceivable to them that any soldiers or any citizens for that matter should have any thoughts other than those dictated by their leaders. and so we invited them to write letters to the editor that complaint and to submit their poetry, to submit cartoons, whatever they p wanted but use their voices and to practice their freedom. and he said to them, you are in the larger sense delegates of freedom. w

the army. good thing down a new tell body and i says they can handle said grace the what we saw in the past several weeks, the violence and everything. they have confidence on the army that can manage the situation. and the army doesn't want to be that any of the people, and that's why people have confidence that i may, will control the situation in a neutral and proper manner. every lives will be saved, property is, will be saved. so this is what they're saying in just about an hour. i got the students right hanging out, flowers to the, to the military trip. you know, i, my port hours bad. the police were still tracking down on students and the university campuses. that's why are they wrong? you know, people were injured, you know, some probably paperless, but that all thing is over and people are relieved that this router track done for the past several weeks is finally over. and that they can look for the new future. and we'll continue on the coverage of this story. the prime minister's resi

army. this study concludes 32 of the 86 north carolina counties, one third of the state experienced one of three forms of warfare, this conservative estimate is based on an analysis of violent acts committed in those counties as a result of rating warfare as well as evidence of individuals, groups who were irregulars operating in those counties. not likely we will ever know the full extent of violence guerrilla activity in every county in north carolina or even the american civil war more generally but it is clear at least this group of counties irregular warfare dominated the lives of civilians for four more years. 32 counties were primary though not exclusively located in four congressional districts. the first congressional district on the coast, the seventh in the piedmont and the ninth and tenth in the mountains of western north carolina. there's something interesting about this collection. the four district included counties where many of the staunchest supporters of the antebellum wh

about the army, because everyone knows that children are in the army, or brothers are in the army, or in the army in the reserve services, so yes, yes, we also have a people's army, in israel there is such a game on social networks, i am a dodger, i am proud of it and... there are some such publics that, support the dodger, don't go to tzahal, no, there is no such thing, there is, there is a little the situation is different now, there are some categories of citizens who do not go to serve in the army, for example, for example, arabs do not serve, they only voluntarily, and ultra-religious, they also do not serve, they have some deferments or exemptions, and now... and this is a problem that has existed for many years with them, it is asked every time, every time they are asked to solve it, and there there are some political interests that do not allow this to be done, and recently the supreme court obliged the government to start, to start calling these religious workers, and there are some protests among them, but the rest of society, it is not... supports and they say that we, we a

from one day to the next, the red army could encircle all the remaining reserves of army group south. germans had only one road left, along which it was still possible to leave the city. on august 22, manstein , fearing a repeat of the stalingrad catastrophe, gave the order to leave kharkov. the next day, the city was liberated by soviet troops. this meant, among other things, the loss of the equipment that was under repair, ferdinando, tigra and other equipment that could not be evacuated exploded there en masse, they were simply abandoned or blown up. and as a result, they captured a whole cemetery of equipment, those machines that could be restored. this mass of scrap metal was collected and deprived army group south of mobile reserves, that is , mobile reserves, like tank divisions , ceased to be tank divisions in the sense that they had literally dozens of combat-ready vehicles left, this precipitous decline in the number of tanks in service led to the fact that there were no longer other option, how to retreat behind the dnieper, to try to cling to the dnieper, quite quickly aft

this is your army understands this swinging their facebook page driving past is the army behind the armymuscle american industry responsible for mobilizing his vast resources for the needs of the army and on the secretary of war, robert patterson, lieutenant general brand be some of the chief supplier. behind the desk, behind the drawing board, behind the benches on the assembly line. american industries making the greatest production method in history to support our army with ever increasing quantities of a weapons of war. soldier for soldier fighting men can make anything the axis sends against them. and welcome for work america. american industry is determined to make the challenge in the production plants, management and labor of science not only behind us, they know their stake in this conflict. they know the grim fate of preemptive, free labor and the pack of access conquest. we reenter. i have the world famous workers, gentlemen, symbol of mafia, inspired, essential between austrian working man and austrian industrialists and soon after. czechoslovakia, a symbol of not to inspire

i can the people have faith in the army general in the army when they are set, when they're told that we want to follow and carry out your will. are yes, a great question. i don't think they have a choice, but to trust in the military, in this immediate period just because you know, the, the want me leave. what had been the ruling party has been disgraced and it's out of the picture. and the other major political party, the b n, t has been very weak and is very divided, it's top leader has major health issues, other leaders of the opposition, other top leaders, many of them are abroad. and so, you know, there's, there's not much else. and i think that given that the unrest has not been rained and given that you continue to have cases of violence playing out across bangladesh . i think that, you know, the army is really seen is, is the one entity that has to somehow manage and try to ease that the, that violence. but indeed, i think that the many and on the dash would much prefer that the army continued to do it is largely done for the last 15 years. and that is stay, you know, stay in

they flocked to the british army. the british army does inoculate some of these people, but they can't really take care of them. they're struggling to take care of their own soldiers there and people going to them, they're running out of food and supplies. that's cornwallis problem going into yorktown. so many of these enslaved people are just left a band and some of them try to go back to their plantations. they're spreading disease. and yes, the black people of the south were largely blamed for this. the british were blamed for spreading smallpox on purpose. even though it's not clear that they were doing that. and it's really, as i talk about in the book, one of the the places where we can point to very early racial disparity is in american health care, as white americans often blame black people for their own suffering, their own poverty, the things that are brought on to them by failing to be provide inoculation for them. so answer your question pretty well. kind of all, we can talk after for the. week as questio

something the army or the sudanese government will participate. and he said that the fact that the united arab emirates, which he had previously accused of supporting the rapid support for us, it is present in those talks as an observer complicates issues. now he also said that they do not want that they did not want to be represented as the army, but rather as a government and that they do not want an alternative platform. do they get the talk or did the platform, which was launched last year by the mediators and saudi arabia and the united states? now all those have called comes as the media to head back to both the army and the rapids. support forces agreed to allow for he was hearing assistance to reach those in need. and aid is coming into some parts of the country. the, the news army and the government announced that they were opening the ad re crossing which connects to the west that are for not to chat. and how many parent ada, according to the united nation, is coming in with several trucks entering over the past few days. but the pricing

and of course, we will certainly talk about army affairs, maybe not even army affairs, because although i don’t know, all affairs are now one way or another army affairs, but we will talk with a military man, with a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war olev si moroz, and let's go... mo a little about the army plus application for electronic documents of the armed forces of ukraine. by the way, i have already seen enough. mr. oleg, we congratulate you. congratulations. i wanted to say that, in fact, this person has already seen quite a comical, comical, comical photo on the internet, which is discussed by the participants in the process, what is there to actually lead. reporting on the discussion of this new electronic documentation made a paper log actually and registration in this in this in this application a comet is a little thing, well, this is such a principle, you know the caveman, as they say, that is, we we want something on paper first, and then implement it in electronic form, in fact, yesterday the ministry of defense presented a new application. it is called army plus. and

while you're in the army.like that's a lot of freedom. and he was looking overseas and, you know, beginning in 1933 in germany, newspapers controlled by the government, if you wanted to be a journalist in germany, you had to register with the government. if you weren't aryan and your spouse also had to be aryan, you couldn't be a journalist. the nazi government also gave messages every day that had to be printed the stories or had to be worked into the stories because they were trying to basically indoctrinate the entire population and to believing what the government wanted them to believe. and so that spread as the german army occupied different areas. so even in france once france was occupied, the newspapers were taken and if they stayed open, it was because they were printing what the nazis told journalists and editors to print. and so fdr was looking at that, and he loved the optics of sending his troops overseas with the freedom of the press. and so i'm going to quote for a second, but this is what fdr

so the army has akin a soft to do for you, right? as you're just looking at these visual and i'm sure you can see this as well as his name on the one side. we have visuals from the prime minister's residence professors storming it. and on the other, we have visuals around the shape. would you program on start? you can you talk to us about these locations in tucker house auto bought all day and how significant other and i'm not exactly sure it will shift when you're almost visual that on the left side of the screen, you have to adjust your phone to the front of the meeting and my correspondence on the ground just send me a photograph of this that the people have also taken over the phone. and so, i mean i'm, i'm sorry, i can assure the filters here, but it's the same using photograph where you see like house and hundreds of thousands of people at the, at the, at the bottom and balances. they have also get bought from the prime ministers listed in the fee to the the students so also speak, you know, like a parliament be. i mean, it's s

it's not an army in the traditional sense, not quys army in the traditional sense, not guysin army inonal sense, not guys in fatigues or women in fatigues from the army, but it is an army of specialist police officers, and the idea is they can redeployed whenever and wherever they are needed. he also said he wanted to mmp needed. he also said he wanted to ramp up the from and a justice system and that people would be named and as quickly as possible —— criminaljustice. the idea being to get them into the system as quickly as possible. some people have already been arrested. we are up to around about 400 arrests. some have been charged, some have already started to appear in court, and then the third and final prong of what the third and final prong of what the preminger has been saying today is the idea that he is going to try and tackle this online as well as off—line, the idea being that a lot off—line, the idea being that a lot of this information, this misinformation and disinformation is being spread online and the government is going to be looking to see what can be done to try
