By George Petras, Karina Zaiets and Veronica Bravo, USA TODAY Nearly 20 months after the Sept. 11 attacks, President George W.

Saagar Enjeti analyzes the politicization of pop culture and its daily consequences around the world.
Can Biden’s Pax Americana Vision Succeed?
Unlikely. Stable empires don’t have dementia patients as heads of state. It looks like the US is actually trying to outsource containment of China to a Western Pacific-South Asian alliance like the Syrian war was outsourced to Turkey and the Middle Eastern wars have been partially outsourced to […]
The US–Chinese power shift and the end of the Pax Americana
But will China be able to escape its dependency on American capital and the American security framework that facilitates global trade? By Christopher Layne, Texas A&M University In this article, I show that far from consenting to be bound by institutions and rules of the Pax Americana, China […]
The end of Pax Americana and Turkey’s rise

Life after death for the neoconservatives
By David P. Goldman, Asia Times Delusions die hard.

Is WaPo Reprinting CIA Talking Points On Bolivia?
To ask the question is to answer it. I generally don’t take positions on the internal politics of other countries other than to oppose US imperialism and to favor self-determination for everyone. Krystal Ball explains how falsehoods in U.S. media contributed to the coup in Bolivia.
Homeland Security Anarchism in Defense of the Empire

Bill Kristol: Invade Cuba & Make It A US State
During Monday’s House hearing over whether the District of Columbia should become the nation’s 51st state, neoconservative political analyst Bill Kristol offered up quite the head-scratching hot take: Make D.C. a state, and while you’re at it, make Cuba one too. “One reason I’m for DC statehood: The […]
Biden’s ‘Opposite Of Trump’ Foreign Policy Is Making America LESS SAFE
A predictable liberal internationalist/neocon approach to foreign policy as opposed to Trump’s neo-realist/economic nationalist/only semi-neocon but still hardline Zionist/pro-Saudi approach. Saagar Enjeti explains the negative impacts of Biden’s relationships with the leaders of Russia and North Korea.
Forget the Sinophobia
My view on China is simply that they’re just another province in global capitalism that largely functions as an economic colony for the hegemonic powers. China’s role in the global economy is to provide cheap labor for Western corporations and cheap loans to Western governments. Its “social credit […]
Turkish-Russian Adversarial Collaboration in Syria, Libya, and Nagorno-Karabakh
By Güney Yildiz, German Institute for International and Security Affairs Russia and Turkey are backing opposing warring parties in three active conflicts. However, this adversarial positioning has not hindered cooperation between Moscow and Ankara. They reign in opposing sides and, in effect, stage-manage their respective theatres of wars. […]

Biden Goes FULL Drug Warrior
The “War on Drugs” has always been a tool of imperialism and the construction of a domestic police state.

Intersectional Imperialism: A Wholesome Menace
By Alexander Rubinstein, Mintpress News In order to identify where woke imperialism exists, we have to define it first. So what is it?

Biden REPEATS Obama, Trump FAILURES to GTFO Afghanistan
This is important commentary. Saagar Enjeti outlines how the Pentagon historically steamrolls presidents into keeping troops in Afghanistan, from Obama to Biden.
The Empire of Rainbow Imperialism
For some time, probably about 25 years, I’ve been predicting the emergence of this kind of weird “rainbow-queer-multicultural-feminist-authoritarian-statist-oligarchic-capitalist-militarist-imperialist” regime. Here it is. Also, Lloyd Austin is Raytheon’s representative in the Biden administration, the same role played by Mark Esper in the Trump administration.
Iran’s supposed threat to the U.S. is a scam Israel and its lobby promote to change the subject from Palestine
By Philip Weiss, Mondweiss Some day historians will scratch their heads over the fact that for the better part of 20 years U.S. presidents were engaged as a leading foreign policy question in how to restrain Iran, a small country half the world away that has not attacked […]
Yemen war: Generation of children grows up knowing only conflict

Anarchy is coming
By Aris Roussinos, Unherd When the Biden administration undertook its first known act of war a few weeks ago, it provided an illuminating snapshot of conflict in the 21st century.

Tucker: Chinese government using Black Live Matter as a weapon against us
Liberals: “Donald Trump is a tool of the Russians!” Conservatives: “Black Lives Matter is a tool of the Chinese!” Liberals: “Assad uses chemical weapons!” Conservatives: “Iran is building nuclear weapons!” Me: “Away with the Russophobia, Sinophobia, Iranophobia, and Assadophobia. Keep your focus on the real enemy.”
No, America Still Shouldn’t Intervene on Behalf of the Syrian Rebels

By Matt Purple, The American Conservative Last week marked one year since the coronavirus was declared a national emergency here in America. Yet there […]
Biden Must Pressure Saudi Arabia to End the War on Yemen
One of the many reasons why I favor the overthrow of the US government is that it would likely result in the parallel collapse of the Gulf States, particularly the KSA, and end the US-Israel relationship, thereby giving the Palestinians a better chance. By Doug Bandow, The American […]
Washington’s Anti-Russia Fixation
The US empire wants complete domination of the Eurasian corridor and Russia is an obstacle to that goal. Plus, the US petroleum industry wants Russia’s oil, the “defense” industry needs Russia as a permanent bogeyman, the neocons want revenge for the Cossacks’ pogroms and the Pale of Settlement, […]
The Ford Foundation is Funding CCP Propaganda
Many on the right trend toward Sinophobia in a way that resembles the Russophobia on the left. But this is fairly interesting. It is somewhat reminiscent of David Rockefeller’s dream of an uber-capital/Maoist hybrid. See this old New York Times article from 1973. By James Lynch, The American […]

Aaugh! A Brief List Of Official Russia Claims That Proved To Be Bogus
In the 20 + years that Putin has been the de jour or de facto leader of Russia, who has killed more people? The Russians or the Americans? It’s not even a close comparison. The Putinists are more comparable to the Five Families in terms of body count. […]
Putin challenges Biden to debate after U.S. president calls Russian counterpart a “killer”
A more educated John Gotti vs. a slightly less incapacitated Professor John Gill. I can just imagine Biden trying to debate Putin. He could barely speak during his debates with Trump and Putin would be a far sharper and more formidable opponent. Biden’s handlers would have him so […]
Biden Calls Putin “A Killer” Who “Will Pay.” Putin Responds By Summoning Ambassador Home
Russia is more like the mafia, but the USA is more like the Galactic Empire in “Star Wars.”
Russia Erupts in Fury Over Biden’s Calling Putin a Killer
It appears that the main foreign policy difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats prefer a US-dominated multilateral liberal internationalism, while Republicans favor US unilateralism within a neoconservative or neo-realist framework. Republicans are more concerned about keeping China in its place as a potential economic rival and […]
