    Why The Most Urgent Need, in Order to Prevent WW III, Is to End All Military Alliances Now

    Mired in Opportunism

    It should be obvious to everyone that the US left is in difficult straits. It is not even remotely clear who or what counts as left in this country.

    Journey to St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Crimea

    At the end of April of this year, the two of us ventured together to Russia. We went with the purpose of fact-finding and also to make a point that we do not believe that Russia should be isolated from the world through sanctions and travel bans. At this moment, Russia is more isolated from […]

  • No WWII No Victory Parade in Moscow and No War in Ukraine Today If the West Had Not Rearmed Germany!

    May 9! Moscow Celebrates Victory Over  Nazi Germany’s Invasion, but with incomprehensibly little or no public condemnation of American corporations having earlier heavily rearmed Hitler’s Nazi Germany as British and French armies stood down in cooperation and in violation of the Versailles Treaty’s prohibition of German rearmament.

  • Whither Multipolarity in a Changing World Order

    The Italian political theorist Antonio Gramsci presciently observed: “The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.” This period that we live in is arguably shaped by three elements: two moribund (the implosion of the USSR […]

    Trump’s Neoconservatism and Falsehoods Against China

    Donald Trump, whose numerous lies go over well with conservative Americans notwithstanding that lies are falsehoods (so Trump’s falsehoods are evidently not damaging his support among Republicans), appeared with Tucker Carson on April 12th, and the interview-clip opened: Iran gets together with Saudi Arabia through China, and I hear people say of China “we’ll never […]

  • The War in Ukraine: A Year On

    February 24 marked one year since Russian troops crossed the border with Ukraine and began its overt military intervention in what was a de facto civil war. From 2014 and the Western intervention resulting in that year’s coup against President Yanukovych, Ukraine has been a divided country engaged in a bitter, violent struggle over its […]

  • Voices Against War

    Read Parts 1 and 2. The sooner the war in Ukraine is over, the sooner the U.S. and Russia can get down to the business of preserving arms control as a viable part of the relationship between the two nations.
