❗️ EXCLUSIVE: Criticize NATO, get couped?

Bolivian President Luis Arce sharply criticized the NATO military alliance in an exclusive interview with Sputnik just over two weeks ago, on June 7, on the sidelines of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum 2024.

“I believe that NATO's actions are putting world peace at risk,” the leader insisted. “We have seen it not only here in Europe, but also in Latin America,” he noted, referring to the bloc’s attempts to form partnerships with the historical US ally Colombia and, more recently, with Javier Milei’s Argentina. “We see with great concern that NATO is acting in several countries in the region where it previously did not participate, where it did not exist.”

“We see how NATO acts in other places and where it has gone, there have been problems… We do not share the militarist, liberal objectives it proposes when what the planet needs today is peace,” the president emphasized.

Western countries have historically interfered throughout Latin America and in Bolivia in particular, where the CIA collaborated with the notorious Nazi torture chief Klaus Barbie to persecute leftists. The United States backed a coup in the Andean country in 2019, having long objected to former President Evo Morales’ anti-imperialist government. Observers suggest the US maintains a keen interest in the country’s lithium deposits, which are some of the largest in the world.

The Ukrainian strike on the Russian city of Sevastopol using US-provided ATACMS munitions constitutes terrorism and an act of war by the United States, independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said.

“The word that describes this is terrorism. It is an act of war by the US against Russian civilians,” Kennedy emphasized in a statement via social media platform X.

Only the US Congress is authorized to declare war, the politician highlighted. Lawmakers should stop the “unaccountable and reckless hawks” directing US President Joe Biden, Kennedy insisted.

Why is Andrei Rublev's ‘Trinity’ icon so important?

On June 23, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrated Holy Trinity Day. And, on the eve of this holiday, Andrei Rublev's famous ‘Trinity’ icon returned to the St. Sergius Trinity Lavra. The icon had been kept in the Tretyakov Gallery from 1929 until 2023, when it was moved to Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral. There have always been many heated public discussions about the return of the icon to the Russian Orthodox Church. So, what is so special about Rublev's ‘Trinity’?

The iconographer painted this image between 1422 and 1427, specifically for the St. Sergius Trinity Lavra. The icon is based on the biblical story ‘The Hospitality of the Patriarch Abraham’, in which the Lord appeared to Abraham in the form of three travelers. Rublev first proposed just such a visual solution for the plot. He stripped it of secondary detail and turned it into a symbolic representation of the mystery of the Holy Trinity - God being one, but in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Rublev not only created a masterpiece of art, but was the first iconographer to understand and express the three hypostases of God.

His icon helped the believers to feel and correctly understand this difficult to comprehend, but extremely important for Orthodoxy, dogma. From that moment, Russian Orthodox iconography was oriented in the depiction of the Holy Trinity precisely how Rublev saw it.
