Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) Anti-war demonstrations are as old as war itself, but almost never stop or prevent a war, and the reason is that the aristcracy’s ‘news’-media always devote so much ‘news’ to demonizing ‘the enemy’, so that to report favorably on public demonstrations against a war will drive away advertizers and also […]

What Changes There Will Be When China and Russia Become the World’s Two Leading Nations

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) China, the world’s leading nation in human resources, and Russia, the world’s leading nation in natural resources, border one-another, have no border-disputes, have the same ideology (win-win, which contrasts starkly against The West’s, which is win-lose or even — in America’s particular case — possibly lose-lose, which latter is the […]

Neocon dark money front launches desperate ad blitz as support for Ukraine forever war craters

A PR offensive to inundate the American public with pro-Ukraine war advertisements during the 2024 election is the latest initiative of neocon chickenhawk Bill Kristol. While targeted at GOP voters, the campaign appears to be another Democratic Party front. Defending Democracy Together, a neoconservative outfit led by career chickenhawk scribe Bill Kristol, has launched a new initiative called “Republicans for Ukraine” to transform the 2024 presidential election into a referendum on US funding for the NATO proxy war.  Urging Republicans […]

Eric Zuesse America’s racism is reducing its focus against Africans in order to increase its focus against Asians. On June 20th, an editorial in China’s Global Times newspaper headlined “US rule of law crumbles as Chinese purchase of farmland is banned” and discussed an article CNN had headlined on June 19th, “States accelerate efforts to […]

The period in American history that started on 25 July 1945 ended on 19 June 2023

Eric Zuesse On 19 June 2023, it finally became clear that America’s 78-year-long neoconservative period (i.e., the period of the U.S. Government’s aspiring to become the first-ever all-encompassing empire, ruler over the entire world) — the period of nearly 300 U.S. military invasions since 1945 — is finally over. This period started on 25 July […]
