For decades, it has been recognized by independent researchers that actual U.S. military spending is approximately twice the officially acknowledged level. In 2022, actual U.S. military spending reached $1.537 trillion—more than twice the officially acknowledged level of $765.8 billion.
America’s Global War on Terror has seen its share of stalemates, disasters, and outright defeats. During 20-plus years of armed interventions, the United States has watched its efforts implode in spectacular fashion, from Iraq in 2014 to Afghanistan in 2021. Its greatest failure however, may not be in the Middle East, but in Africa.
Ben Norton interviews economist Michael Hudson to explore the reasons why Israel is such an important part of U.S. foreign policy and Washington’s attempt to dominate not only the region of the Middle East, but really the entire world.
There can’t be democracy and colonial war; one aspires to decency, the other to fascism. Meanwhile, once welcomed mavericks are heretics now in an underground of journalism amid a landscape of mendacious conformity.
Hundreds of veterans returned from Iraq ready to fight the horror and injustice of the U.S. military industrial complex.
“After Nasrallah’s Speech, US and Israel Escalate Gaza War”: Israel and US amassing more weapons, battle plans, troops, and allies to deepen the war on Gaza and destroy the Palestinian resistance. Also: “Arab-Iran Amity Is a Geopolitical Reality”.
There can be little question that the grim prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, which still shows no sign of closing anytime soon, is a key legacy — in the worst sense imaginable — of America’s post-9/11 forever wars.
The US Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks recently announced the “Replicator Initiative.” Among other things, it would involve producing “swarms of drones” that could hit thousands of targets in China on short notice. Call it the full-scale launching of techno-war.
While employing the rhetoric of peace, the United States arms, trains and gears up Israel and Arab Gulf autocrats for war, with Iran as the target. America has helped Israel build one of the strongest militaries in the world. Israel is the world’s only unacknowledged nuclear power.
One of the most ambitious and combative labor struggles in decades, the UAW strike reflects the growing power of the U.S. working class in a period of increasing political crisis. Also: “Largest Healthcare Strike in US History Begins as Kaiser Workers Revolt”.

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.
