Indecisive Victory: How Long Will New Caledonia Remain a French Territory?
New Caledonia is one of the last territories in the Pacific region to remain in France’s possession after decolonization. Over the last decades, the mood for secession has been strong in New Caledonia, and its independence movement has seen some success. The French government is trying to hang onto New Caledonia, but this task seems extremely complex, and few are willing to predict how long this territory will remain French. -

Good Cop/Bad Cop: The US and Russia Show
There may have been a time when the US and Russia were serious geopolitical rivals. That time has long since passed.

Elite interests, practices, and life styles of both countries have long since converged. Russian elites have[Read More...]

Quo Vadis Mr. Xi? Quo Vadis China?
Back in November I wrote an article for Countercurrents about how The People’s Republic of China, a Socialist (as defined by its own constitution) country, has turned on its own citizens because they are Marxists. On the 6th of this month I wrote (https://countercurrents.org/2019/01/06/considerations-on-chandra-muzaff…) about China’s attempt to “reeducate” the Muslim Uighur minority so that they were no longer religious.

Discriminatory Reservation of Savarnas!
“Caste is not a physical object like a wall of bricks or a line of barbed wire which prevents the Hindus from co-mingling and which has, therefore, to be pulled down. Caste is a notion; it is a state of the mind.” When Ambedkar inscribed this line for millions of Dalits of India, he rejected the dictatorial theology and power[Read More...]

Hypocrisy Without Bounds: The Tragedy of ‘Liberal’ Foreign Policy
If anyone else were president, the "liberals" would be celebrating. After all, pulling American soldiers out of a couple of failing, endless wars seems like a "win" for progressives. Heck, if Obama did it there might be a ticker-tape parade down Broadway. And there should be.

Trump’s Neocons Reverse His Syria Withdrawal Plan
I’m starting to wonder whether President Trump has any power over US foreign policy at all.

Republicans Have A Sense Of Foreboding About 2020-- And They Should
Trump still has a motley collection of apologists-- the Fox News crew, hate talk radio hosts, self-serving politicians, neo-Nazi crackpots and their partners in the white evangelical movement-- but there is no longer anyone with an ounce of intellectual integrity defending Trump or unwilling to admit that he is, far and away, the worst "president" in American history-- off the scale (or on an entirely different scale)
