Japan’s Remilitarization is a Danger to the World
Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi stunned the world when she declared publicly in the Japanese legislature, that a Taiwan contingency could constitute a “survival threatening situation” that would allow Japanese military intervention in “collective defense”. Words matter. Especially when they are words with legal force, uttered in an official capacity. These words are legal terms of art […]

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 […]

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

The longstanding fundamental crisis of the sovereignty of African nations lies in […]

A Long Overdue Legal Initiative: Charges of Genocide against Ukraine
Good for Russia! And cautiously, good for international law! The International Criminal Court (ICJ), an institution with scant juridical credibility, which was founded under the auspices of the collective West and remains effectively under its control, has agreed to consider Russia’s submission wherein the neo-Nazi Ukrainian regime is charged with committing genocide against Ukrainian citizens, […]

European powers plan to cut up China for themselves; Germany, Italy, the British Empire, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and France are represented by Wilhelm II, Umberto I, John Bull, Franz Joseph I (in rear), Nicholas II, and Émile Loubet. The United States, represented by Uncle Sam, opposed this, also wanting to retain power in China. Puck, 23 […]

Trump’s Tanker Grab vs. the Houthis’ Anti-Genocide Blockade

The United States has now intercepted multiple Venezuelan oil tankers as part of its escalating aggression against Venezuela, while also destroying dozens of small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific under the banner of “drug enforcement,” killing over 100 people whose identities the U.S. has obscured. At the same time, the Trump administration has threatened a naval blockade of Venezuela—a sovereign country […]

Security Is Indivisible — and History Matters
Chancellor Merz, You have spoken repeatedly of Germany’s responsibility for European security. That responsibility cannot be discharged through slogans, selective memory, or the steady normalization of war talk. Security guarantees are not one-way instruments. They go in both directions. This is not a Russian argument, nor an American one; it is a foundational principle of […]

Murder on the High Seas?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, announced in a post on X another deadly U.S. strike on a boat he said was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean Sea. (Screengrab from a post on X) Since Sept. 2, following the orders of President Donald Trump, U.S. armed forces have launched at least 22 […]
