  • 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 […]

  • Trump’s Contronymal “Peace” with Russia

    Trump’s Contronymal “Peace” with Russia

    They didn’t act like people and they didn’t act like actors.  It’s hard to explain. –  J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye With all the hullabaloo about President Donald Trump’s “peace” gestures toward Russia over Ukraine and the resetting of U.S.-Russia bi-lateral relations, it is worth remembering the “pivot to Asia” announced by the […]

  • The Poor Bear the Brunt of the Pain

    In the theatre of global conflict, where empires clash and ideologies contend, one truth remains tragically constant: it is not the architects of war who suffer its consequences, but the poor. The dispossessed, the voiceless, the expendable—these are the true casualties of geopolitical ambition. Their pain is not incidental; it is structural. It is the […]

  • 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 […]

  • French Monitor: Ukraine, NATO Provoked Russia in Donbass War

    Benoit Paré is a former French defense ministry analyst who worked as an international monitor in eastern Ukraine from 2015 to 2022. In his first interview with a US outlet, Paré speaks to The Grayzone’s Aaron Maté about the hidden reality of the Ukraine war in the Donbas region, where the US-backed Kyiv government fought […]

  • U.S. Out of Africa: Voices from the Struggle

    Is Russia an agent of destabilization in Africa or a lifeline for nations seeking sovereignty? In this second installment of our extended conversation with Dr. Gerald Horne, we challenge Western historical narratives and explore the hard truths behind Africa’s security challenges, the transition from the Wagner Group to the Africa Corps, and the shared grievances […]

  • Unilateral and Illegal Sanctions – Mainly by the United States – Kill Half a Million Civilians Per Year

    Unilateral and Illegal Sanctions – Mainly by the United States – Kill Half a Million Civilians Per Year

    Karen Paulina Biswell (Colombia), Nama Bú (We Exist), 2015. Those who do not live in war zones or in suffocated countries are forced to live life as if there is nothing strange about what is happening around us. When we read about war, it is disconnected from our lives, and many of us want to […]

  • Russia Bad America Good

    Russia Bad America Good

    The demonization of Russia among Western journalists has gotten so perverse, if Vladimir Putin were to jump in an erupting volcano and rescue a family of four Americans, carrying them on his back hobbling along on the melted stumps of his legs to a hospital 50 miles away, the mainstream media in the U.S. would […]

  • The US Can End the Gaza Genocide Now

    An immediate UN Security Council vote to grant Palestine permanent membership in the UN next month would put an end to Israel’s zealous delusions of permanent control over Palestine. It cannot happen without US backing. President Donald Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, and his efforts toward peace in Ukraine, if successful, could possibly help him earn […]
