  • A Long Overdue Legal Initiative: Charges of Genocide against Ukraine

    Good for Russia! And cautiously, good for international law! The International Criminal Court (ICJ), an institution with scant juridical credibility, which was founded under the auspices of the collective West and remains effectively under its control, has agreed to consider Russia’s submission wherein the neo-Nazi Ukrainian regime is charged with committing genocide against Ukrainian citizens, […]

  • Ending China’s Humiliation?

    Ending China’s Humiliation?

    European powers plan to cut up China for themselves; Germany, Italy, the British Empire, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and France are represented by Wilhelm II, Umberto I, John Bull, Franz Joseph I (in rear), Nicholas II, and Émile Loubet. The United States, represented by Uncle Sam, opposed this, also wanting to retain power in China. Puck, 23 […]

  • Trump’s Tanker Grab vs. the Houthis’ Anti-Genocide Blockade

    Trump’s Tanker Grab vs. the Houthis’ Anti-Genocide Blockade

    The United States has now intercepted multiple Venezuelan oil tankers as part of its escalating aggression against Venezuela, while also destroying dozens of small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific under the banner of “drug enforcement,” killing over 100 people whose identities the U.S. has obscured. At the same time, the Trump administration has threatened a naval blockade of Venezuela—a sovereign country […]

  • Security Is Indivisible — and History Matters

    Chancellor Merz, You have spoken repeatedly of Germany’s responsibility for European security. That responsibility cannot be discharged through slogans, selective memory, or the steady normalization of war talk. Security guarantees are not one-way instruments. They go in both directions. This is not a Russian argument, nor an American one; it is a foundational principle of […]

  • The Problem with Machado: Assange Sues the Nobel Foundation

    The Swedish police have promised it will go nowhere, but the attempt by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to draw attention to the inappropriateness of María Corina Machado as a Nobel Peace Prize recipient raises a few salient matters. On December 17, Assange submitted a criminal complaint to the Swedish Economic Crime Authority and the Swedish […]

  • Model Campaign Platform

    Model Campaign Platform

    Candidates for the U.S. Congress usually have websites, and often those websites include some minimal platform (what they would do if elected). Sometimes there’s none at all. Sometimes there’s a great deal of substance on numerous topics. But the vast majority of Congressional candidates have no foreign policy whatsoever. They want to be given a […]

  • US Blockades Venezuela in a War Still Searching for an Official Rationale

    In our Donald-in-Wonderland world, the US is at war with Venezuela while still grasping for a public rationale. The horrific human toll is real – over a 100,000 fatalities from illegal sanctions and over a hundred from more recent “kinetic strikes.” Yet the officially stated justification for the US empire’s escalating offensive remains elusive. The […]

  • End Stage Zionist Hasbara And Its Trolls: The Israel as victim canard, it’s all over but the shouting

    A significant number of Zionist trolls plaguing the comment sections of my posts were, as I was, raised on Zionist hasbara i.e., outright lies. As I grew up, and later visited Israel, I was repulsed, as the son of a Holocaust survivor, by the Third Reich-adjacent mindset of Israelis; by their by-rote bigotry; by the […]

  • U.S. Racist Immigration Policy Toward Haiti Reinforces Imperialism and Weakens Popular Sovereignty

    On November 26th, 2025, the Trump administration terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti using nearly identical language to the TPS cancellations earlier this year for displaced Venezuelans and affecting upward of 353,000 Haitian migrants. In both cases, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that continued protections were “not in the national security or foreign […]

  • Confusion at NATO: Rutte, Russia, and Delusions about Trump

    It was a speech unhinged in millenarian zeal. It was unapologetically hysterical in urging war while claiming to protect peace. It was also delivered with a note of profound self-denial: the US administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy had belittled Europe’s efforts in terms of ensuring its own security, not least of all its claims to […]
