  • Trump’s Call to Putin, Article IV of the NPT and War Crimes

    President Trump’s recent attempt to reassure the American public how the war against Iran was going relied on the President’s assertion that the US is winning the war. Relying on the lame claim, the President said “I think the war is very complete, pretty much,” as well as telling Axios that “Any time I want […]

  • Breaking the Nuclear Taboo

    President Trump has been on quite a roll. Since just the beginning of the year, he has kidnapped the Venezuela president, threatened to invade Greenland and Colombia, and has in just the last week dragged the U.S.—and seemingly much of the Middle East—into a new war by joining with Israel to attack Iran, something that even the […]

  • Not a Third Party, a Third Force

    Not a Third Party, a Third Force

    In Part One of this planned series of articles, I wrote about the historical timeliness of a ‘third force’ strategy. I said, “This isn’t something pulled out of the air, or someone’s lofty dreams. It is grounded in historical experience in the United States over the last 60 or so years.” A progressive “third force,” […]

  • We’re Tired of Marco Rubio Speaking for Us

    “Put three Cubans in a room together, you’ll have five different opinions,” a Cuban friend of mine likes to joke. He was referring to debates in the town-hall meetings during Cuba’s constitutional convention process of 2018. But I immediately thought, of course, of any Nochebuena celebration at my dad’s house, just a few hundred miles […]

  • Trump’s Presidency and Iranian Missiles

    Trump’s Presidency and Iranian Missiles

    Athens Is Burning! The School of Athens and the Fire in the Borgo, Salvador Dali US hegemony is being dispatched to the landfill of history. Empires collapse, sometimes, slowly; sometimes, in rapid order. Trump’s war has proven to be an accelerant of the latter. The following unnerves me as a Jewish person: Trump acting as […]

  • “How On Earth Do You Justify That?”

    Seyed Ali Mousavi, the Iranian ambassador to the UK, with Laura Kuenssberg On 8 March, on the BBC politics programme, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the former BBC political editor put these impassioned words to Seyed Ali Mousavi, the Iranian ambassador to the UK: ‘Since we last spoke, your government has killed thousands of its own […]

  • Discerning What a Real International Women’s Day Looks Like

    Discerning What a Real International Women’s Day Looks Like

    One day, March 8, International Women’s Day just doesn’t do justice for most girls on planet earth in the global south who will not reach womanhood. Example: The Israeli-American strike on a school that killed at least 180 children, most of them girls aged between 7 and 12, on the first day of the illegal […]

  • The Art of the War

    “I am especially proud to be the first president in decades who has started no new wars,” President Donald Trump declared during his 2021 farewell address. Throughout the 2024 campaign and into his second term, Trump consistently branded himself as the “Peace President.” It was a title he maintained even as his administration conducted military […]

  • How Can Iran Avoid a Nuclear Strike from Israel?

    Benjamin Netanyahu is losing patience. Israel is being battered by Iran’s missiles and drones, while Israel’s defense shield is nearly depleted, and ineffective even when used. They can continue to attack Iran (although it’s often uncertain which attacks are Israeli and which American) but when it comes to Israeli airspace, they are even using anti-aircraft […]

  • Middle Power Nonsense: Australia, Canada and Capitulating to the Iran War

    In his January speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney gave the impression of a banker turned soothsayer, a Daniel coming to judgment. Here was a born-again man of international relations who would rally the middle powers (from the middle) and try to assert influence and power in a […]
