  • Revolutionary Third World Leaders Praise China’s World Role

    China is a modern superpower, as is the US, but a qualitatively different superpower. The US uses military aggression, coups, and sanctions to impose US corporate interests worldwide. China is a peaceful power that respects national sovereignty, mutual development, and non-interference.  Despite opposing imperialism, a tendency in the Western left is to recycle Western anti-China […]

  • NATO’s Promise of War

    he confidence trickster was at it again on his visit to The Hague, reluctantly meeting members of the overly large family that is NATO. President Donald Trump was hoping to impress upon all present that allies of the United States, whatever inclination and whatever their domestic policy, should spend mightily on defence, inflating the margins […]

    NATO’s 5% Pledge: An Obscene Betrayal of Global Needs

    No to NATO protest at The Hague, June 22, 2025. Photo credit: Xinhua News At this week’s NATO summit in The Hague, leaders announced an alarming new goal: push military spending to 5% of nations’ GDP by 2035.

  • More Transparency on US Forces in Australia

    It was a blast to a past wiped out by amnesia, social media and mental decrepitude.  Andrew Hastie, Australia’s opposition minister for home affairs, had been moved by an idea: greater transparency was needed regarding the US military buildup in Australia.  It was an inspiration overdue by some decades, but it was worthwhile in its […]

  • Israel’s Attack on Iran: The Violent New World is Going to Horrify You

    Israel’s Attack on Iran: The Violent New World is Going to Horrify You

    Western politicians and media are tying themselves up in knots trying to spin the impossible: presenting Israel’s unmistakable war of aggression against Iran as some kind of “defensive” move. This time there was no rationalising pretext, as there was for Israel to inflict a genocide in Gaza following Hamas’ one-day attack on 7 October 2023. […]

  • Does China have an Internationalist Foreign Policy?

    A number of observant commentators have raised questions about Peoples’ China’s Belt and Road Initiative and more broadly, the foreign policy of the PRC.

  • Playing and Being Played on the Road to Nuclear War

    To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It’s irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober. — Eugene O’Neill, The Iceman Cometh There […]

  • Endless Wars, Failing Infrastructure, and a Dying Republic

    Endless Wars, Failing Infrastructure, and a Dying Republic

    Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. — President Dwight D. Eisenhower, “Chance for Peace” speech, delivered on 16 April 1953 Seventy years after President Dwight D. Eisenhower […]

  • Prediction with the Main Reasons: The US Will Bomb Iran to Bring about a Regime Change

    We’ve seen it repeatedly: You invent a pretext based on deliberate lies, fake news, exaggerations or a false flag operation which serves to construct a story that country or leader X is a threat to “us” which legitimates that we do a ‘preemptive’ strike against that against – obviously invented – threat to eliminate it. […]

  • Israel Attacks Iran: The Turning of the Tables

    It all started in the early morning hours of 13 June 2025, with what Israel calls “Operation Rising Lion”. Israel’s Air Force launched dozens of air strikes against Iran, targeting its nuclear [energy] program. According to BBC, in Iran’s own words, this is the biggest assault on Iran’s territory since the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988. […]
