A must listen. How the supposed “Resistance” obscures US-Saudi genocide in Yemen.
By Randi Nord Geopolitics Alert Sana’a (GPA) – The U.S.-supported Saudi-led coalition in Yemen carried out multiple airstrike attacks across Yemen on Friday, Islam’s holy day. Although the raids were not absent of casualties, today’s airstrikes appeared to target vital civilian infrastructure rather than human life. The continual […]
By Michel Chossudovsky Global Research President Donald Trump confirmed back in May that the U.S. will be pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal as well as reimposing a sanctions regime on Tehran. This far-reaching decision by the White House was taken following Netanyahu’s staged presentation on Iran’s […]

The most dangerous aspect of the current political situation in the United States is the belligerent attitude of the Trump administration toward Iran, followed by the liberal-left’s belligerence toward Russia.

This is actually a very incomplete list. It only includes acts of imperialist aggression by the USA since 1945, and the many, many examples from before that, and it’s not even a complete list of the post-’45 examples. “Plenty folk say they are outraged over Russia possibly interfering […]

Some common sense comments from Tom Woods on the anti-Russia hysteria. “The hysteria over the Trump-Putin summit is astonishing. There really is a Deep State, and it’s normally pretty subtle. The subtlety is all gone now. It’s nonstop, round-the-clock hysteria. No president has ever been on the receiving […]
It’s interesting how so many right-leaning folks get it right on Russia, only to lose their minds on China. Um, um, Tucker, China has exactly one military base outside it’s national borders (in East Africa). The USA has hundreds. No need to sweat. Much ado is always made […]

This columnist is apparently 30 years behind the times. While this article is intended as a bromide against Trump’s foreign policy, it actually makes him sound a lot better than he actually is. While Trump’s lack of Russophobia, only mild Sinophobia, and willingness to engage in diplomacy with […]
Press TV. Listen here. The government of North Korea is determined to establishing peaceful relations with the United States and denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, but President Donald Trump’s willingness to abide by any agreement is unclear, says an American political analyst in Virginia. “The regime of [North Korean […]

A reminder of why the anti-Vietnam War movement was one of the most important, if not the most important, movements in US history, and why the movement never really receives the level of commemoration of other past movements. Notice that there are no schools or streets named after […]
In recent times, there has been a great deal of concentration on Russia as either the embodiment of evil, or as humankind’s last best hope. Russia is being portrayed by Democrats as the puppetmasters behind Trumpism, by the “antifascists” as the new headquarters of world fascism, and by […]
Todd Lewis (facetiously) defends the proposition that empires are justifiable and Keith Preston will oppose the proposition.
Scumbag Bolton plots mass murder in Iran.

There is quite a bit I disagree with in this article, but it is good to see someone from the Left arguing that anti-imperialism should be a priority issue. By Noah Berlatsky Pacific Standard Tucker Carlson interviews Glenn Greenwald about U.S. strikes in Syria on April 10th, 2018. […]
By David Stockman The Donald’s action to ash-can the Iranian nuclear deal marks the War Party’s complete and baleful triumph. There is now absolutely nothing left of America First. Trump’s reckless, unwarranted and utterly irrational action will pull Washington ever deeper into an incendiary middle eastern vortex of political and religious […]
By Caitlin Johnstone Arizona Senator and murderous psychopath John McCain is rumored to be at death’s door, and already the world is being admonished by high-profile empire loyalists not to voice any criticism of his blood-saturated, obnoxiously long career. “Anti-McCain twitter seems to have reached new heights (or […]
During the Cold War, some anarchists developed a tendency known as “Neither East nor West” for the purpose of opposing both superpowers and their satellites. As the Eastern axis continues to rise in opposition to the Western axis, such tendencies will be necessary once again. Amnesty International UK […]
Tom Woods interviews Michael Malice, one of the West’s most insightful commentators on North Korea. Listen here. I’d like for the upcoming Trump-Kim summit to be a “Nixon Goes to China” moment, and for Kim Jong-Un to become the DPRK’s Deng Xiaoping. But I’m not holding my breath. […]
Tom Woods interviews leading antiwar commentator Scott Horton. Listen here. This is what our so-called “antifascists” should be attacking, rather than forming a neoconservative-liberal international-human rights imperialist-antifascist axis in service of the Anglo-American-Zionist-Wahhabi empire. ———————————— In something of a potpourri episode, Scott Horton and I discuss the real […]

Chomsky of all people should know that the US fucks up anything it touches. The US ambition in Syria is to replace Assad with a Saudi-like Sunni fundamentalist regime that will be subservient to the US-Israel-Saudi triangle and allied with Turkey. Like the US empire is going to […]
The anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s and 1970s was arguably the most important movement in the history of the United States, because it had the long term effect of both making the draft politically impossible, and delegitimizing imperialist war to the point where Americans will not accept […]
I agree with this summary of the problem as far as US-China trade relations go, but I disagree that the solution is a return to retrograde 19th century mercantilism. The solution is to recognize that all forms of state interference in the economy have a net effect of […]
I concur. By William S. Lind Traditional Right The latest cruise missile caracole aimed at Syria was militarily meaningless. A few empty buildings were destroyed, residents of Damascus and Homs lost a couple hours of sleep and honor was satisfied. The only thing missing was Handel’s Musick for […]
I’m inclined with the argument made in this article. It is likely that the DPRK is now where the Soviets were in the 1980s, i.e. it’s become a matter of reform or die. By Peter Van Buren The American Conservative On April 27, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and […]
A must watch. A relevant post from a YouTube commentor: “The Assad government may not be all roses and sunshine (And I dare anyone to find me a squeaky clean government, any government), but it is a secular and moderate government. Shiites, Sunnis, Alawites etc. and Christians all […]
