ISIS in Libya Threatens Rome, Hillary Clinton Hardest Hit

"A big part of why the West cannot seem to grapple meaningfully with the Russian threat, despite the fact that in any strategic sense NATO is holding most of the cards in this high-stakes game, is because he challenges not just what we have, but who we are. Putin and Putinism represent a direct challenge to the post-modern way of life that has become normative, especially among educated Westerners since the 1960's. A worldview that prefers soft, feminine values to tougher masculine ones, that finds patriotism risible, that believes there is nothing worth dying for, has little to say when the monsters we firmly believed were safely behind the fortress walls, lurking hungrily, turn out to be on our doorstep, and the front door is unlocked."

UDM Nelson Mandela Bay leader Mongameli Bobani called for the destruction of heritage sites that depict the history of colonialism and apartheid.

He was speaking at a municipal public accounts committee meeting yesterday, where councillors debated the importance of a municipal by-law to police the upkeep of heritage sites.

Bobani said: “We must destroy the buildings that will bring back apartheid. We must destroy those statues, like that statue of a man on a horse [the Horse Memorial in Central] and Queen Victoria who gave the land of our people away.

“We are in the transformation period, so we must destroy everything to do with apartheid and colonialism.

“Their forefathers built those statues to oppress our forefathers,” Bobani said while pointing at DA councillors
