Condemning the Right to Self Defence: Iran’s Retaliation and Israel’s Privilege
There is a throbbing complaint among Western powers, including those in the European Union and the United States. Iran is not playing by the rules. Instead of accepting with dutiful meekness the slaughter of its military leadership and scientific personnel, Tehran decided, promptly, to respond to Israel’s pre-emptive strikes launched on June 13. Instead of […]

Why do US/EU Media Hide this Truth about the War in Ukraine?
To boil it all down (and the speakers here have never yet been found to be wrong about this war, which they have been analyzing ever since 2016): the only way that America and its allied countries can now avoid a total defeat in this war is by directly going to war themselves against Russia. […]

Putin-Trump Phone Call on Ukraine
On Monday President Donald Trump telephoned President Vladimir Putin and they talked for two hours before Trump put lunch in his mouth and Putin his dinner.

Close Military Bases, Not Embassies
The Trump clowns are planning to close U.S. embassies in Africa. Good riddance, right? Wrong. They still plan to work on “coordinated counterterrorism operations” and “strategic extraction and trade of critical natural resources.” They also still plan to maintain U.S. military bases across the continent.
