(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — Though some have been warning about the catastrophic potential for a third global conflict for years, it wasn’t until recently that these warnings became more mainstream. The calamitous nature of the violence in Syria — which has one nuclear power defending a government that has been the target of a regime change operation led by the world’s superpower — combined with 2017’s threats of “fire […]
(ANTIWAR.COM) — Secretary Tillerson was far from an ideal choice, but his anointed successor at the State Department – Mike Pompeo – may ditch diplomacy all together and start a war! We both attended West Point. That’s where the commonalities end. I’ve been a soldier opposed to (endless) war; he’ll be a statesman opposed to peace. That […]
(COMMONDREAMS) — How often does the corporate media cover skyrocketing inequality, crippling poverty, and the pernicious influence of corporate cash on the American political system? “Almost never,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) argues in an op-ed for the Guardian published on Friday, just days ahead of his planned inequality town hall that will be streamed online Monday. The very fact that Sanders—along with his fellow […]
(MEMO Op-ed) — Declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel was meant to be a major part of US President Donald Trump’s master plan in striking what he called the “deal of the century.” Fast forward one hundred days and the decision to break with international consensus is proving to be more like the failure of the century. […]
(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — At this critical juncture in modern history where tensions run at an all-time high between world powers that possess extensive nuclear weapons supplies, the United States and the United Kingdom would do well to re-educate themselves on the art of diplomacy. Instead, the United Kingdom has put its foot on the throttle, openly blaming Russia […]
(ANTIWAR.COM) — While they always stopped short of official allegations in the past, US officials have, since 2016, repeatedly insinuated that Russia had been trying to hack the US electrical grid. Thursday say the Trump Administration directly making those allegations for the first time. This new report appears to be timed to come out with new US sanctions against Russia, which cited […]
(MEMO Op-ed) — The appointment of Mike Pompeo as the new US Secretary of State by Donald Trump will not signal a change in Washington’s Middle East policy. It doesn’t mean that America will no longer endorse the alliance between the Saudi and Israeli governments. Nor does it, despite Donald Trump’s admiration, mean that America will switch […]
(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — For most empathetic humans, Syria represents everything that is wrong with humanity. This Thursday, the country’s “civil war” hit its seven-year anniversary, but the violence engulfing the country shows no signs of stopping. However, one glaring problem in the conflict is that Syria means different things to different people. For the U.S. government and its enthusiasts, […]
(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has allegedly said he will destroy the world with nuclear weapons, but only if Russia is hit with a nuclear strike first. In a two-hour video documentary released in Russia, Putin reportedly warned he would give the order to launch Russia’s nuclear weapons if Russia was attacked with nuclear strikes first. “This is called […]
(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — Every time a mass shooting rocks the United States, Americans demand their government do something. Whether it’s confiscating guns, arming teachers, or turning schools into prisons, neither politicians or the public can agree upon a solution to the ongoing violence, but they know their government should act.
