The UK has planned or executed over 40 attempts to remove foreign governments in 27 countries since the end of the Second World War. These range from brutal colonial wars and covert operations to efforts to prop up favoured governments, including British Guiana in 1953, Egypt in the 1950s, Iraq in 2003 and Libya in 2011.
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.
The India-Middle East-Europe transportation corridor may be the talk of the town, but it will likely go the way of the last three Asia-to-Europe connectivity projects touted by the West – to the dustbin.
Western values seem to function intermittently, like a car’s indicator lights. For Ukraine, the right to resist invasion and occupation is sacrosanct. But not for the Palestinians. The truth is that in the game of the great powers, the issue is not really the territorial integrity of Ukraine. This is a mere pretext for the ‘defence of values’, for their export in fact.
After over three months of Thailand being put on hold as the country’s political adversaries tried to figure a way out of the surprising results of the May elections, a solution was finally reached among contending parties in the third week of August. It was a victory for the establishment.
It’s essential for exploitative neocolonialism to keep resource-rich African nations from using their own resources to grow their own economies. But now the African dominoes are finally saying, “The game is over.” Is true decolonization finally on the horizon? Also: “Mass Protests Against French Troops Intensify in Niger as the Deadline for Their Withdrawal Approaches”.
Teri Mattson moved to Mexico three years ago. She talks about the changes taking place in Mexico, under Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), the Morena Party and the fourth transformation.
A BJP-friendly NRI businessman’s proposal to Niti Aayog paved the way for the creation of a task force that authored a report pushing for corporatisation of agriculture as a way to double farmers’ income. Subsequently, the Adani Group lobbied to remove curbs on hoarding. Farm laws did just that.
This week augurs an acceleration of strategic realignments among the big powers amidst growing signs of a new cold war globally with particular focus on the United States’ containment strategy against China playing out in the Indo-Pacific region.
“Burkina Faso’s New President Condemns Imperialism, Quotes Che Guevara, Allies with Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba”. Also: Burkina Faso and Mali have declared their willingness to defend Niger with armed force if France, Nigeria, or ECOWAS were to intervene in Niger.
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.
