    A Picture that Shows What’s Wrong with Military Bases

    https://worldbeyondwar.org/a-picture-that-shows-whats-wrong-with-military-bases/ Of course it would take millions of images to convey the full story of the harm done by military bases, foreign and domestic, but a key point is, I think, conveyed by the map above. The countries colored blue or purple have U.S. military bases in them. The countries colored red or purple have […]

    Trump Taking Greenland Would Be the End of NATO – senior analyst

    The US president’s push to acquire the island follows a “long and complex historical tradition of American territorial expansion,” Mats Nilsson has told RT Protesters on City Square during a protest in support of Greenland on January 17, 2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark. © Martin Sylvest Andersen/Getty Images US President Donald Trump’s acquisition of Greenland without Denmark’s […]

  • FIFA Please, Revoke the Peace Prize, Reclaim the Game

    (Image by The White House) In December, U.S. President Donald Trump was awarded FIFA’s newly created “FIFA Peace Prize – Football Unites the World” by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The decision immediately sparked disbelief and criticism worldwide, raising a fundamental question: What does FIFA mean by peace? If football is truly meant to unite the world, then this prize—and the […]

  • I Used to Be a Critic of the Two-Party System – Now I Wish We Had One

    I am told that if I don’t like what “my government” is doing, I should write “my representative.” So I dropped Senator Adam Schiff a note about the US war on Venezuela. The senator’s reply, with my translations of his Washington-speak (in italics) provided in brackets, is as follows: I have been opposing the administration’s […]

  • Whitewashing U.S. Barbarism by Smearing Russia and China

    Whitewashing U.S. Barbarism by Smearing Russia and China

    The Western media are doing what they usually do: minimizing and covering up the criminal aggression of the United States. Trump’s blatantly illegal military attack on Venezuela, the kidnapping of its president, the murder of foreign nationals, and theft of the country’s vast oil resources are not being called out for the litany of grave […]

  • Mock Strategy

    The crazy-quilt National Security Strategy released a few weeks back is a patchwork of declarations of intent, admonitions thrown at other countries and ad hominem statements of dubious validity. It lacks coherence or consistency – much less a theme, a central idea, or a concept that gives pattern to its incongruent parts. Clearly, the document is […]

  • US Strikes on Venezuela Sound an Alarm for Global Governance

    US Strikes on Venezuela Sound an Alarm for Global Governance

    Fire at Fuerte Tiuna, Venezuela’s largest military complex, is seen from a distance after a series of explosions in Caracas on January 3, 2026. The US military was behind a series of strikes against the Venezuelan capital Caracas on Saturday, which reportedly led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, US […]

  • The Don-roe Doctrine in Action: Trump’s Gangster Intervention in Venezuela

    It has been an accusation long levelled at certain US politicians that their brains might have been softened by a lengthy diet of television, Westerns, and the heroic triumphalism of the prattling cowboy. There was never going to be a break with this tradition regarding President Donald Trump, except for the fact that he claimed to […]

  • Lies and the Lying Liars Who Kidnap Presidents

    What was defined at Nuremberg as the supreme international crime (one country attacking another one) is depicted by Trump and even the supposedly anti-Trump corporate media as some sort of law enforcement. Bombing is liberating. Kidnapping is capturing. Murdering people on boats is “impeding the flow of drugs.” Imagine if, say, Saudi Arabia or Norway […]

  • The U.S. Airstrike in Nigeria Confirms why the U.S African Command (AFRICOM) Must be Shut Down

    If it was not clear before the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) Christmas Day bombing of its Sokoto state, that Nigeria is not a sovereign African nation but is instead a neo-colonial state with a Western puppet government, it should be crystal clear now. The longstanding fundamental crisis of the sovereignty of African nations lies in […]
