The Russian military has announced that twin objectives have been realised in the Ukraine — namely, pinning down Ukrainian forces to the Kiev region and, secondly, preventing the transfer of Ukrainian forces from the western and central regions to the east by “using air dominance” and deploying high-precision weapons.
In Colombia, Gustavo Petro and Francia Márquez have registered as presidential and vice-presidential candidates, respectively, on behalf of the Historic Pact coalition for elections taking place on May 29. They have a good chance of winning, and transforming Colombia.
The long-term suffering likely to come from the environmental damage we’re causing should impel us all to call for a major diplomatic push to end the nightmare in Ukraine now. After all, if the world’s great powers don’t pull together soon on climate action, we’re in trouble deep.
NATO’s military intervention resulted in thousands of deaths, apart from the destruction of 25,000 residential buildings, 600 kilometers of railroads, nearly 40 bridges, 100 schools and kindergartens, 30 hospitals and 14 airfields. The material damage is quantified at about 100 billion dollars.
This interview focuses on the impact of US sanctions and Russian countersanctions on the position of the dollar and US economic power.
The takeaway from the US President Joe Biden’s European tour on March 25-26 is measly. Dissenting voices are rising in Europe as western sanctions against Russia start backfiring with price hikes and shortages of fuel and electricity. And this is only the beginning.
The branding of Vladimir Putin as a war criminal by Joe Biden, who lobbied for the Iraq war and staunchly supported the 20 years of carnage in the Middle East, is one more example of the hypocritical moral posturing sweeping across the United States.
Mega corporations like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Danone are making around 494 times what they spend by bottling water in Mexico and selling it back to locals who have no choice but to buy it.
Perhaps one million plus Iraqis were dead due to US actions. Millions of Iraqis became refugees. The horror precipitated by my country affected not only the victims over there, but millions of Americans. We became a divided nation, echoing what occurred during the Vietnam phony war.
Interview with Ángeles Maestro, a former communist deputy of Spain, on how she views the NATO war from a country like Spain, which, like the rest of the European Union, is once again on its knees before U.S. arrogance.
