As NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on 9 May 2023, “The war started in 2014.” He even was explicit that “You have to remember that the war didn’t start in 2022” (which was when Russia responded on 24 February 2022 […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The U.S. Government claims to be enforcing peace throughout the world but engages in far more invasions and coups than any other country in all of history ever has. The U.S. Congressional Research Service’s list of U.S. invasions (including increases in existing invasions) lists and briefly describes 297 such invasions […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The model for Western countries is the United States, where billionaires have even more freedom than they do in the UK, which has been copying the U.S. ever since in 1979 in UK (Margaret Thatcher) and 1981 in U.S. (Ronald Reagan). Both countries at that time elected fascists (supporters of […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The U.S. has the most unequal, or aristocratic and anti-democratic, distribution of wealth, of all of the major economies — and this is now set (on account of tax-law changes that started in 1986) to become vastly worse and what one leading legal scholar is already predicting to create “the […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The clearest example of this is today’s UK Government as described by a renegade former UK Ambassador, Craig Murray, headlining on July 19th about the next general election there between the conservative Keir Starmer who leads the Labour Party versus the conservative whomever will be leading the Conservative Party; he […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The few people who benefit from the U.S. Government’s being the world’s most powerful are U.S.-and-allied billionaires, who profit from the enormous sales of U.S.-made war-weapons and from the international extraction corporations such as Exxon-Mobil which rely upon its military, but all of this comes at the expense of the […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) On Wednesday, July 19th, the Asian-American Sharon Zhang headlined “Only 9 House Reps Vote Against Resolution Denying Israeli Apartheid” and reported that on the prior day, the U.S. House passed 412 to 9 “a resolution vowing perpetual allyship with Israel and denying the country’s apartheid against Palestinians.” Zhang wrote: In […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) On July 14th, the great geostrategist Scott Ritter headlined at RT News “As NATO looks for answers to the Ukraine conflict, Poland seeks the nuclear option. The ambitions of individual NATO members only bring the world closer to a nuclear catastrophe.” He pointed out that if the request by Poland’s […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The U.S.-NATO fantasy world about Ukraine is virtually the opposite of the reality about Ukraine. In the U.S.-NATO fantasy world, there was, in February 2014, no U.S. coup d’etat that violently overthrew Ukraine’s democratically elected and neutralist President in that country where the vast majority of the residents — the […]
Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) Imperialism is the right of one nation to control another nation’s foreign policies and so to nullify the other nation’s sovereignty and independence.
