  • The Hunger Killing Gaza’s Children Has a Clear Cause that Few are Willing to Name out Loud

    Following the February 29 Israeli slaughter of at least 115 starving Palestinians lined up for food aid, there was little or no outrage by the same Western media which would have howled if the perpetrator were Russia or Syria. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, early morning on Thursday, February 29, Israeli forces opened fire […]

  • Is the War in Ukraine over?

    Military strategists, foreign policy experts, and Russian dissidents have analyzed the Russian invasion of Ukraine for Western audiences. How accurate are pundits who always introduce a slight slant to please a specific audience? Read between the lines, choose the best fit and two years of Putin’s “special military operation” looks like this…to me. Initially, Russia […]

  • Mistakes, Misfiring and Trident: Britain’s Flawed Nuclear Deterrence

    Nuclear weapons are considered the strategic silverware of nation states.  Occasionally, they are given a cleaning and polishing.  From time to time, they go missing, fail to work, and suffer misplacement.  Of late, the UK Royal Navy has not been doing so well in that department, given its seminal role in upholding the doctrine of […]

    Einstein’s Postwar Campaign to Save the World from Nuclear Destruction

    Although the popular new Netflix film, Einstein and the Bomb, purports to tell the story of the great physicist’s relationship to nuclear weapons, it ignores his vital role in rallying the world against nuclear catastrophe. Aghast at the use of nuclear weapons in August 1945 to obliterate the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Einstein threw […]

  • Gaza is an Image of the Future

    For months now Israel has waged a brutal bombing campaign against Gaza. With state of the art technology, the IDF uses algorithms to generate a seemingly unending list of potential targets with a low filter for collateral damage resulting the highest rate of civilian casualties of any war of this century. In the face of […]

  • Why does Israel destroy hospitals?

    Hospitals are prime strategic targets of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. The Nasser hospital in Rafah is the only major one still standing, along with a handful of smaller ones. All the rest have been destroyed, along with many of the patients and medical staff. Many have been slaughtered, while the helpless have been left […]

  • Flashpoint for War: The Drone Killings at Tower 22

    The BBC’s characteristically mild-mannered note said it all: What is Tower 22?  More to the point, what are US forces doing in Jordan?  (To be more precise, a dusty scratching on the Syria-Jordan border.)  These questions were posed in the aftermath of yet another drone attack against a US outpost in the Middle East, its […]

  • Biden Must Choose between a Ceasefire in Gaza and a Regional War

    Biden Must Choose between a Ceasefire in Gaza and a Regional War

[Credit: AFP] In the topsy-turvy world of corporate media reporting on U.S. foreign policy, we have been led to believe that U.S. air strikes on Yemen, Iraq and Syria are legitimate and responsible efforts to contain the expanding war over Israel’s genocide in […]

    North Korea Test-fires New Hypersonic Missile

    North Korea has tested a solid-fuel ballistic missile armed with a hypersonic warhead, the Korean Central Telegraphic Agency (KCTA) reported on Monday. The launch was conducted amid growing tensions with Pyongyang’s southern neighbor, after Seoul recently conducted military drills with the US near the North’s border. “On January 14, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s […]

  • Funding the Imperium: Australia Subsidises US Nuclear Submarines

    AUKUS, the trilateral pact between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, was a steal for all except one of the partners.  Australia, given the illusion of protection even as its aggressive stance (acquiring nuclear-powered submarines, becoming a forward base for the US military) aggravated other countries; the feeling of superiority, even as it […]
