  • “Who Is Uncivilized, Mr. Barrack?”

    U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack urges Lebanese journalists to be “civilized,” “kind,” and “tolerant,” rather than “animalistic.” The irony is impossible to miss. Anyone familiar with the history of U.S. involvement in the Middle East will understand the depth of the hypocrisy. Mr. Barrack implies that the “problem with the region”—the “chaos”— stems from Middle Easterners’ […]

  • Think Tanker Demands for AUKUS: What Australia Should do with US Submarines

    The moment the security pact known as AUKUS came into being, it was clear what its true intention was. Announced in September 2021, ruinous to Franco-Australian relations, and Anglospheric in inclination, the agreement between Washington, London and Canberra would project US power in the Indo-Pacific with one purpose in mind: deterring China. The fool in […]

  • Bolivia: Unprincipled Left Split Causes Electoral Debacle

    A man looks at newspapers front pages the day after presidential and legislative elections in La Paz, Bolivia At the general election on August 17 2025, Bolivia’s right wing scored a greater electoral and political victory than expected, bringing 20 years of MAS-IPSP government to an end. Christian Democrat (PDC) candidate Rodrigo Paz Pereira surprisingly won […]

  • Albion Stupidities: Palestine Action and Anti-Terrorism Laws

    Protest in Britain has become dangerous of late. Shaky lawmakers minding their elected positions, displaying decorative ignorance, have been criminalising protests against the war in Gaza, branding certain groups “terrorist” in inclination. While the laws dealing with criminal damage to property and such are already more than adequate, the government of Sir Keir Starmer thought […]

  • What Do We Know About Zelensky and the Seven Dwarfs Visit to the White House?

    With the usual qualifier that I could be entirely wrong, my sense is that both the Alaska Summit and Monday’s meeting at the White House were reality checks. They revealed that Putin was finally able to convince the “collective Trump” (Gilbert Doctorow’s term), that the war in Ukraine did not begin with the Russian invasion […]

  • Trump Vulnerable to Progressive Populism

    Democrats are politically flummoxed by the flurry of regressive proposals and policies daily manufactured by the Trump administration. Party leadership has been reduced to a reactionary political presence, simply reacting to Trump’s initiatives. Weakened and disoriented, the party seems incapable of effectively challenging Trump’s disingenuous populism. They do not forcefully attack his many vulnerabilities. Democratic […]

  • A Step Towards Resolving a Long-standing Territorial Conflict or a Leap into the Abyss?

    A Step Towards Resolving a Long-standing Territorial Conflict or a Leap into the Abyss?

    A few days ago, Armenia and Azerbaijan published the text of the peace agreement, brokered by the United States. On paper, both sides pledged to respect each other’s territorial integrity and formally end the decades-long conflict. However, it remains a mystery, whether the countries will actually sign the agreement. Numerous mutual claims and disputes, the […]

  • Trump’s Assault Upon the United Nations is at Odds with U.S. Public Opinion

    If one examines Donald Trump’s approach to world affairs since his entry into American politics, it should come as no surprise that he has worked to undermine the United Nations. The United Nation is based on international cooperation, as well as on what the UN Charter calls “the equal rights … of nations large and […]

  • Self-Determination for Eastern Ukraine?

    Completely absent in any of the governmental efforts for the last three and a half years to end the war in Ukraine is the issue of self-determination as it relates concretely to where the on-the-ground war and the huge percentage of casualties are primarily happening. The principle of nations having the right to make decisions […]

  • US Human Rights Report on Venezuela Doesn’t Pass the Mirror Test

    The US State Department’s latest Human Rights Report condemns Venezuela for serious abuses. Weaponizing human rights, accusations are selectively applied to serve a destabilization campaign. In this article, a mirror is held up to Uncle Sam to see how well “America the beautiful” holds up to the same charges, while also exposing the role of […]
