  • NATO: 75 and Still Threatening

    Bring out the bon bons, the bubbles, and the praise filled memoranda for that old alliance.  At the three-quarter century mark of its existence, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is showing itself to be a greater nuisance than ever, gossiping, meddling, and dreaming of greater acts of mischief under the umbrella of manufactured insecurity.  It […]

    What US Seeks is to Maximize Its Exploitation of Taiwan’s Interests

    Illustration: Liu Rui/GT The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities of Taiwan should be trembling now.

    Don’t Say Peace in Ukraine: You Will Be Shot

    As the events surrounding the Ukraine and the cross-Atlantic West continue to defy belief, all roads of recent assassination attempts from Slovak PM Robert Fico to former US President Donald Trump lead back to Ukraine.

    Why George Clooney, Peter Welch, and the New York Times, Are Dangerous

    I opposed the invasion of Iraq by Bush in 2003 — which destroyed that country — even before it was perpetrated. George Clooney, Peter Welch, the New York Times, and other liars or fools of liars, did not. I opposed the bombing of Libya by Obama in 2011 — which destroyed that country — even […]

  • Venezuelans to Vote on Continuing the Bolivarian Revolution

    The future of Venezuela’s 25-year-old socialist movement will be decided in the upcoming July 28 election.
