Democratic Senator Bob Menendez Will Oppose Iran Nuclear Deal by Jacob Davidson
(SOUTH ORANGE, N.J.) — New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez announced on Tuesday his opposition to the Iran nuclear deal, the second Democratic senator to go against President Barack Obama, who is heavily lobbying for a congressional endorsement of the international accord.
Under the agreement, which the U.S. and other world powers negotiated with Tehran, Iran would curb its nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in relief from economic sanctions, which have been choking its economy.
Menendez, a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, joins Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York in rejecting the deal.
Menendez said his opposition is not an issue of whether he supports or opposes Obama, who has pledged to veto a congressional resolution of disapproval. He said he is opposed because Iran has violated various U.N. Security Council resolutions while advancing its nuclear program and that the agreement doesn’t require Iran to dismantle its nuclear infrastructure.
“Let’s remind ourselves of the stated purpose of our negotiations with Iran: Simply put, it was to dismantle all — or significant parts — of Iran’s illicit nuclear infrastructure to ensure that it would not have nuclear weapons capability at any time. Not shrink its infrastructure,” Menendez said.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has expressed doubts that Congress could override Obama’s expected veto. Twenty-one Senate Democrats and Independents of the 34 needed to sustain a veto are backing the deal. Schumer, the No. 3 Democrat in the Senate and the party leader-in-waiting, is the only other notable Democratic defection.
In the House, at least 50 Democrats have expressed support. Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California has spoken confidently about rounding up the votes to save the deal. Ten House Democrats have announced their opposition.
Menendez urged the Obama administration to authorize the continuation of negotiations and recommended several changes, including requiring Iran to allow permanent access to suspect sites; a ban on centrifuge research and development for the duration of the agreement; an extension of the agreement to at least 20 years, and authorizing Israel to “address the Iranian threat on their own” if Iran accelerates its nuclear program.
“We must send a message to Iran that neither their regional behavior nor nuclear ambitions are permissible,” he said. “If we push back regionally, they will be less likely to test the limits of our tolerance towards any violation of a nuclear agreement.”

Hermitage Chief On Russian Museum Attack: 'Our Society Is Sick' by support@pangea-cms.com (Carl Schreck)
The head of Russia's world-famous Hermitage Museum has denounced the destruction of a renowned Soviet artist's sculptures by militant Orthodox activists as evidence of a "sick" society and called for legislation to protect cultural institutions from such attacks.
Hermitage director Mikhail Piotrovsky’s statement this week follows the activists’ August 14 rampage through an exhibit of Soviet avant-garde sculptures. Kremlin critics have called the incident a product of the religious and social conservatism that Russian President Vladimir Putin has increasingly cultivated as a pillar of his power in recent years.
Piotrovsky said the attack was organized by “marginal forces against cultural rights” and criticized the public reaction to the incident, concluding that Russia is suffering from societal corrosion.
“Our society is sick,” Piotrovsky said in the August 17 statement on the Hermitage’s official Facebook page, and the website of the Russia’s Union of Museums, which he also heads.
The attack was carried out by activists from the group God’s Will, which is led by radical Russian Orthodox activist Dmitry Tsorionov, known widely under the pseudonym Enteo, who has called Putin a divinely inspired leader of whom Russians are “unworthy.”
The Interfax news agency quoted Tsorionov, who along with his adherents is facing potential criminal charges in connection with the incident, as saying that exhibition included an "indecent" depiction of Jesus Christ and was a "dirty, harsh mockery of Jesus Christ and the saints."
Organizers of the exhibition, called "Sculptures that We Don't See," said the attackers damaged several works by Soviet sculptor Vadim Sidur, whose nonconformist works were censored by Soviet authorities.
Piotrovsky said in the statement that the Union of Museums has started hammering out potential legislation aimed at protecting cultural institutions and ensuring adequate punishment for those who commit crimes against them.
‘Weapon In The Hands Of Pogromists’
Other prominent voices in the world of Russian art and politics say an earlier legislative drive served as an accessory to the attack on the exhibition, namely a so-called blasphemy law signed by Putin in 2013 that makes it a criminal offense to insult individuals’ religious sensibilities.
Under the law, which was enacted after members of the Pussy Riot art collective were imprisoned for performing a "Punk Prayer" in Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral, offenders can be punished with up to three years in prison and fined up to 500,000 rubles ($7,600).
It was one of several controversial laws supported by Putin’s conservative base -- including one banning “homosexual propaganda” in the presence of children -- that the Russian leader enacted following his return to the Kremlin in 2012 after a four-year stint as premier.
Prior to the law’s passage, members of Russia’s art community had been targeted by authorities over religiously charged shows. A Moscow court in 2007 convicted Andrei Yerofeyev and Yury Samodurov of “inciting hatred” with an exhibit that included a works depicting Jesus Christ with the head of Mickey Mouse and a Russian Orthodox icon filled with black caviar.
But the law on offending religious believers signed by Putin marked a sharp escalation in the dangers faced by the Russian art world, becoming “the main weapon in the hands of the pogromists,” says Moscow-based sociologist and art historian Anatoly Golubovsky.
“At the same time, this very law is the guarantee of their immunity,” Golubovsky wrote in a recent Facebook thread.
The prominent Russian gallerist Marat Guelman, who last year was sacked as director of the Perm Museum for Contemporary Art after he staged exhibition satirizing the Sochi Winter Olympics, said the law allows “every believer to decide for himself what offends him and what to smash up.
“People are surprised that Sidur’s work angered people,” Guelman wrote on Facebook. “But that’s the deal: If provocative exhibitions that offend can be smashed up, then they’ll smash up any [exhibitions].”
The Russian Orthodox church in Moscow, which has become an influential political player during Putin’s 15 years in power, alluded to the law on offending religious believers when commenting on the attack on the exhibition.
Church spokesman Vsevolod Chaplin told Interfax that “everyone should obey the law.”
“If Tsorionov violated the law, let them throw the book at him,” Chaplin was quoted as saying. “But the law should apply to those who organize exhibitions as well.”
Piotrovsky, the Hermitage director, called the August 14 attack on the Soviet avant-garde exhibition a “provocation” against the Russian Orthodox church aimed at interfering with its “search for harmony” in its relationship with museums.
He also offered an ambiguous rebuke of the public discussion of the incident, refraining from identifying the targets of his criticism.
“We are surprised about the style of the public reaction to these events: the vagueness of the information, the inappropriate smears, and the uncertainty and nervousness of the tone,” Piotrovsky wrote.

“People are surprised that Sidur’s work angered people,” Guelman wrote on Facebook. “But that’s the deal: If provocative exhibitions that offend can be smashed up, then they’ll smash up any [exhibitions].”
The Russian Orthodox church in Moscow, which has become an influential political player during Putin’s 15 years in power, alluded to the law on offending religious believers when commenting on the attack on the exhibition.
Church spokesman Vsevolod Chaplin told Interfax that “everyone should obey the law.”
“If Tsorionov violated the law, let them throw the book at him,” Chaplin was quoted as saying. “But the law should apply to those who organize exhibitions as well.”
Piotrovsky, the Hermitage director, called the August 14 attack on the Soviet avant-garde exhibition a “provocation” against the Russian Orthodox church aimed at interfering with its “search for harmony” in its relationship with museums.
He also offered an ambiguous rebuke of the public discussion of the incident, refraining from identifying the targets of his criticism.
“We are surprised about the style of the public reaction to these events: the vagueness of the information, the inappropriate smears, and the uncertainty and nervousness of the tone,” Piotrovsky wrote.
It was one of several controversial laws supported by Putin’s conservative base -- including one banning “homosexual propaganda” in the presence of children -- that the Russian leader enacted following his return to the Kremlin in 2012 after a four-year stint as premier.
Prior to the law’s passage, members of Russia’s art community had been targeted by authorities over religiously charged shows. A Moscow court in 2007 convicted Andrei Yerofeyev and Yury Samodurov of “inciting hatred” with an exhibit that included a works depicting Jesus Christ with the head of Mickey Mouse and a Russian Orthodox icon filled with black caviar.
But the law on offending religious believers signed by Putin marked a sharp escalation in the dangers faced by the Russian art world, becoming “the main weapon in the hands of the pogromists,” says Moscow-based sociologist and art historian Anatoly Golubovsky.
“At the same time, this very law is the guarantee of their immunity,” Golubovsky wrote in a recent Facebook thread.

Путин объяснил, для чего погрузился на дно Черного моря
18 августа 2015, 17:47
Президент РФ рассказал, зачем погрузился на батискафе на дно Черного моря. Владимир Путин подчеркнул, что его участие в подводной экспедиции является попыткой пробудить интерес людей к истории России.
«Это все-таки такая попытка, еще одна попытка побудить людей обратиться к нашей истории», – объяснил Путин.
Президент России в рамках своего визита в Крым погрузился на дно Черного моря в специальном глубоководном батискафе. Главу государства сопровождали специалисты центра подводных исследований Русского географического общества. На 80-метровой глубинеВладимиру Путину показали затонувший античный корабль – одну из самых значимых в последнее время находок, обнаруженных в Крыму.
После подводного путешествия батискаф с президентом причалил к плавучей базе. Там Владимира Путина встречали министр обороны Сергей Шойгу, премьер Дмитрий Медведев, председатель Совета Федерации Валентина Матвиенко и первый вице-президент Русского географического общества Артур Чилингаров.
