    The EU Geopolitical Reality

    Sunday, 22 March 2026 — Great Power Politics, Elites & Energy

    Roger Boyd

    Background

    I hesitated to write this, as the EU is not a nation but a grouping of nations, but the dominance of the EU bureaucracy over the constituent nations has progressed considerably (backed up with NATO of course) together with the EU being dominated by its largest and tightly aligned members; Germany, France, Italy and Poland. Of the larger nations, only Spain stands out as having somewhat of an independent alignment, but that is offset by the heft of the other large members. And the latter are also supported by Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Austria, the Baltics, Finland, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Romania (after the local vassals aligned with the EU and NATO elites in stealing the election for president). Only Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia stand in opposition to EU foreign policy against Russia, and Spain with respect to the Middle East. Let’s remember that the European security forces are very fully integrated with the US security services, and US troops occupy Germany (36,000) and Italy (12,600).

    Iran HITS Israel’s Dimona Nuke Site, Trump’s 48-Hour Power Plant Threat COLLAPSES

    Sunday, 22 March 2026 — Danny Haiphong

    Iran’s missiles smashed Dimona nuclear facility, home of Israel’s alleged nuclear weapons. The mass casualty event is rocking Israel and both Trump & Netanyahu are sending strong signals he wants to tap out. Danny Haiphong breaks it all down!

    US War on Iran & the Wider Dirty War on China: US/Ukrainian Mercenaries In Myanmar

    Sunday, 22 March 2026 — The New Atlas

    • While the US attack on Iran throttles energy production and exports to China, following the cutting of energy exports from Venezuela to China in a war earlier this year, and years of attacking Russian energy production via Ukraine, US-backed militants in Myanmar are attacking pipelines leading directly into China;
    • A US citizen and several Ukrainians were caught bringing in large numbers of combat drones to fight the central Myanmar government and attack key infrastructure across the country including Belt and Road Initiative projects;
    • Zooming out from any one of these conflicts reveals a global US war and proxy war as well as a developing global oil blockade against China;

    The Capitalist END of the West: Iran Destroys US Plans | Dr. Radhika Desai

    Saturday, 21 March 2026 — Neutrality Studies and Radhika Desai Geopolitical Economist

    The illegal attack on Iran—as many illegal wars before—is not a bug but a system feature. One, however, that is doomed to self-destruct its host. It is the inevitable outcome of the rent-seeking and society corrupting logic of the capitalist system the West is built around. The expansionary and often genocidal logic embedded in the core of the US empire drives entire classes within the West toward the ruthless application of force. But in a multipolar world this approach finds its ultimate—and eventually tragic—end.

    Seeing Trump Clearly

    Saturday, 21 March 2026 — Craig Murray

    What if Trump’s apparently chaotic thought processes and intuitive decision making are all a blind, a charade? What if we are really witnessing, in the Middle East and more widely, a carefully constructed plan with very definite objectives? Has Trump in fact “planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway”, while flinging the chaff of apparent chaos? I realise that this is not intuitive, but bear with me (more…)

    Iran moves to Total War against the death cult

    Structural paralysis. Meticulously programmed. Inexorable. Already in effect.

    Contact us: info@strategic-culture.su

    Attacking Iran’s South Pars gas field – the largest on the planet – is the ultimate escalation.

    Neo-Caligula, in trademark Truth Social coward vociferation mode, has been desperate to blame the death cult in West Asia for it and excuse himself from any responsibility: he claims Israel attacked South Pars “out of anger” and the U.S. “knew nothing about this particular attack”. Qatar was “in no way, shape or form involved”. And Iran hit Qatar’s LNG in retaliation “based on wrong intelligence”.

    The Markets Will Wake Up From The Phoney War

    Friday, 20 March 2026 — Great Power Politics, Elites & Energy

    And the US Vassal States will be in Severe Economic & Financial Crises

    Roger Boyd

    The time between Germany’s invasion of Poland (September 1939) and the invasion of France (May 1940) was called the “phoney war” as France and the UK decided not to seriously attack Germany’s western border. During this time, the French and British were putting together a force to help the Finnish in their war with the Soviet Union. Thankfully, that ended before the Western forces could get to Finland but it underlines the priorities for the British and French elites; fighting the communist Soviet Union rather than fascist Germany.

    China’s Fertilizer Restrictions and the Crisis of American Agricultural Imperialism

    Friday, 20 March 2026 — Liberation News Network

    How Beijing’s Export Controls Expose the Vulnerabilities of the US Food Regime

    The recent tightening of Chinese export controls on nitrogen-potassium fertilizer blends—compounded by Beijing’s reiteration of existing restrictions on urea—represents more than a routine trade policy adjustment. It constitutes a significant structural intervention in the global agricultural commodity chain, one that lays bare the precarious foundations of American agricultural imperialism and the sharpening contradictions of the post-1991 world-system.

    Straight of Hormuz Closure Pushes Europe Toward Russia, Undermining Trump’s Iran War

    Wednesday, 18 March 2026 — MintPress News

    While it may have been able to take out Ayatollah Khamenei, the U.S.’ plans for regime change in Iran are not going as smoothly as they expected. With the Strait of Hormuz closed, the global economy is facing meltdown, and Washington’s allies are rapidly distancing themselves from the U.S. Meanwhile, facing an energy crisis, European leaders, openly refusing to participate in President Trump’s war, are already discussing normalizing relations with Russia and ending their participation in the Ukraine War.

    Day 19: US Burning Through Munitions Amid Gamble to Topple Iran, Cut China Off From Oil with 1 War

    Wednesday, 18 March 2026 — The New Atlas

    • The US has burned through huge quantities of high-end weapons on Iran it had been stockpiling for war it sought to provoke with China in the Asia-Pacific;
    • The US not only likely never had enough weapons for a war with China, but it will be unable to even replace what it has spent on Iran for years to come;
    • The US war on Iran is thus likely an attempt to reduce or remove 2 obstacles to US primacy with one war, degrading or toppling Iran and the imposition of a global maritime oil blockade on China at its source (US capture of Venezuela, US strikes on Russian energy production, and now the incremental shutdown of energy exports from the Middle East);
    • The US likely hopes it can emerge from the global economic crisis it is creating “stronger” relative to China;

    Why the US keeps killing Iranian leaders—and why it keeps failing

    Liberation News Network

    There is deep resilience built into the Iranian system

    The assassination by the US/Israeli of Ali Larijani (Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council) is yet another example of the extreme chauvinism and racism of the imperialist bloc blinding them to the realities of their enemies.

    Digital extraction and the new logic of underdevelopment

    Tuesday, 17 March 2026 – Struggle / La Lucha

    Roape

    Africa’s incorporation into global capitalism has never been neutral. From the Atlantic slave trade through colonial rule and into the post-independence era, the continent has been structurally positioned as a source of value for others rather than a site of autonomous accumulation. What is often misunderstood is not whether this extractive logic has ended, but how it has changed. In the twenty-first century, data, digital labor, and algorithmic infrastructures have emerged as new vectors of accumulation. In this piece, Prince Ifoh argues that re-reading Walter Rodney, Kwame Nkrumah, and Achille Mbembe allows us to see how digital capitalism reconfigures rather than break with Africa’s history of underdevelopment.

The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
