  • France: Forward Deterrence and Going Backwards

    To expand a stockpile of both the useless and the mindlessly murderous in a military sense would seem to be a wasteful exercise best contemplated in the psychiatric ward. But such a ward is increasingly occupied by the world’s leaders, and war is on their lost minds. As Israel and the United States continue their […]

  • International Law Needs International Enforcement

    Donald Trump’s war of choice in the Middle East is but the latest indication that the system of international law―which provides guidelines for the behavior of nations in world affairs―is crumbling. In the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, after thousands of years of violent international conflict, efforts to establish global norms for nations in connection […]

  • The War on Iran—and Washington’s Missing Exit Strategy

    The United States has once again launched a war in the Middle East based on false claims about weapons of mass destruction. Like the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the U.S. assault on Iran rests on allegations that international inspectors have already debunked. But beyond the false pretext lies an even more pressing question that […]

  • Are US Pacific Bases Just Chinese Hostages?

    Thanks to China’s rare earth restrictions, the US cannot replace the high-technology weapons it is using in Ukraine and the Middle East. Washington just announced that it cannot defend any of its allies in the area apart from Israel, yet will still exhaust its defensive missile inventory within a week. – Godfree. In the annals […]

  • We Are Someone’s Dirty Work

    “Love In Tehran” © Jan Oberg “We are someone’s dirty work. And by “us,” I mean Iranians actually living in Iran. It doesn’t matter what group you think you belong to or what you believe; at the end of the day, our lives are just a resource for someone else’s agenda. We are the currency […]

  • The Mirage of Preemption

    “A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran,” President Donald Trump declared in a video released on the morning of February 28, 2026. Without a single vote from Congress, and in clear defiance of the constitutional requirement for a declaration of war, the President announced that the United States […]

  • The War With Iran Is Based on Bullshit

    If you have your “Reasons For Bombing Iran & Assassinating Their Leader” bingo card out right now, it should almost be full. At various times Donald Trump has said that the US is raining hellfire down on the Iranian people because: We need to stop their nuclear program. (Trump said he already blew it to […]

  • This Illegal US-Israeli Attack on Iran Is Also an Assault on the United Nations

    Let us be clear about what the United States and Israel are pursuing. The US objective is not the security of the American people. The objective is global hegemony. The attempt is to destroy the UN and the international rule of law—an attempt that will fail. On February 16, 2026, one of us (Jeffrey Sachs) […]

  • The Trump Regime Proves again to be the Single Largest Danger to Humanity’s Future

    The Trump Regime Proves again to be the Single Largest Danger to Humanity’s Future

    There were only two things that surprised me – and would have been fitting – namely that he had been dressed in military battle uniform (I predict that, as Supreme Commander, he will soon show up in that), and that he did not argue that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize even more for what […]

  • The Apologists for the Attack on Iran

    February 28, 2026. Another attack, another breach of the United Nations Charter. A gross violation of international law. As usual, a violation celebrated as ethical, necessary, and high-minded in principle by the powerful who dictate such terms. Not squalid, dangerous, destabilising. Not, apparently, following the same pattern as before: interventions in Iraq, Libya. Not, goodness, […]
