The documents give a clear picture of what is going on in Ukraine and around the world concerning conflicts, wars and peace efforts.
Coordinated strikes by the Resistance from multiple fronts have forced new rules of engagement on Tel Aviv, which is already struggling to keep its domestic and external crises under control. Can Israel survive another, bigger multi-front assault?
Twenty years ago, Noam Chomsky published a bestselling book called Hegemony or Survival. Since then, the stark choice he posed has only become more urgent. Depending on how humanity responds to the challenges of ecological destruction and imperialistic war, in the coming decade that terrifying question “Hegemony or survival?” may well be answered.
Two conflicting leftist positions on Latin America’s wave of progressive governments known as the Pink Tide have become increasingly well-defined over the last two decades. One position is favorable, while the other highly critical.
For decades, the U.S. dollar was the undisputed king of global currencies, but now dramatic changes are happening. Much of the planet is preparing for a future in which the U.S. dollar will be far less important than it is right now.
The Pentagon has rolled out its proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2024: a stunning $842 billion. That’s the highest level requested since World War II, except for the peak moment of the Afghan and Iraq wars, when the United States had nearly 200,000 troops deployed in those two countries.
Russia, Iran, and Venezuela – all allies of China – account for 40 percent of OPEC+’s proven oil reserves, with the GCC making up another 40 percent. If these three states alone settle their energy exports in yuan, the petroyuan is here to stay.

Every lost soul matters. It’s one thing to reduce life to an abstract statistic, but far more problematic is quietly aligning with the world of the policymakers and accepting murder – war, especially the unprovoked kind – as a necessary facet of national, let alone human, security.
“American Dream, Global Nightmare: On the Origins of the Iraq War” – this piece was written in 2003, it still stands up fairly well. Also: “20 Years Later, the Stain of Corporate Media’s Role in Promoting Iraq War Remains”.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
